..:: Islam is not a Deen of following fore-fathers, but rather following to the teachings of pious predecessors, which is Qur'an and The Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) ::..
In present times, in the normal wo
rldly matters, no one says that just because his father was illiterate and uneducated, he wants to follow his father's footsteps and remain uneducated all his life. But rather, he will strive hard to get a good education, so that he can get good salary and provide his family.
Similarly, just because someone's father was working as a sweeper, is he going to keep his ambition to become a sweeper too?
No, He will strive to get a good education so that he can get a better job than his father to support his family.
No one wishes to remain poor just because his father and fore-fathers were poor
Then, why when it comes to choosing a religion, the person just closes his brain cells and remains blindly on his fore-fathers religion?
Then, why does he disable his brain's intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating information gathered from, reflection, reasoning, as a guide to belief and action?
Why does he refuse guidance from the Glorious Qur'aan? Why does he blindly follow the path of his father and forefathers, even though the Qur'aan is guiding towards the Truth?
Think, reflect and accept before your brain COMPLETELY closes on its appointed time!!
"And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that upon which we found our fathers." Even if Satan was inviting them to the punishment of the Blaze?"
(Qur'aan 31:21)
