SOCIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND MODERN WORLD
FIRST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF ISLAMIC SICIAL SYSTEM IS A HARMONIOUS EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY AND SOCIETY ISLAM GUARDS ALL OF THEM WITHOUT GIVING ANY ONE OF THEM EXAGGARATED EMPHASIS.
ANOTHER FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT FEATURE ISLAMIC SOCIAL SYSTEM THAT DISTINGUISHES IT FROM MOST OF THE MODERN SYSTEMS THAT LAY EMPHASIS ONLY ON RIGHTS AND TO SOME EXTANT ON DUTIES BUT OUR"S LAY EQUAL EMPHASIS ON
RIGHTS
DUTIES
&PROHIBITIONS
THUS IT IS 3-DIAMENTIONAL IN CONTRADICTION WITH MOST OF THE CONTEMPORARY SYSTEMS THAT ARE 2-DIAMENTIONAL.
THE MODERN SYSTEM IS INFLUENCED BY ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALISM THAT SEEKS TO COMMERCIASLISE BOTH STRENGHS AND WEAKNESS OF HUMAN BEINGS.
IN ORDER TO COMMERCIALISE WEAKNESS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT "PROHIBITIONS"SHOULD BE PROHIBITED & EMPHASIS SHOULD BE GIVEN ON RIGHTS AND DUTIES WHICH THE MODERN WORLD IS DOING NO MATTER HOW MANY EVIL PRACTICES WOULD BE ADDED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

What you mean when you say harmonious equilibrium between individual, family and society?
As for the second feature, I think prohibitions also fall withing the purview of rights and duties. Prohibitions are nothing new. It is actually the right of Allah that we must obey Him and do nothing against His orders. What you think? |

HARMONIOUS EQUILIBRIUM MEANS GIVING EQUAL EMPHASIS ON ALL THE THREE.NOT GIVING UNDUE IMPORTANCE TO ANY ONE.
THIS MEANS IF ANY INDIVIDUAL IS DOING WRONG WE SHOULD LET HIM DO. IF ANY FAMILY IS IN TROUBLE WE SHOULD'NT LET IT BE AS IT IS.IF ANY SOCIETY IS CORUPT WE SHOULD BEAR ALL ITS HOSTILITIES
ISLAM SAYS ALL ARE COLLECTIVELY RESPONSIBLE TO ALLAH.
IT IS RIGHT OF ALLAH THAT WE MUST OBEY HIM BUT MY TOPIC WAS TO BRING OUT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAMIC AND MODERN SOCIETY WHO CALL THEMSELVES INTELLECTUAL BEINGS.
AND MAKING REFERENCE TOWARD'S EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN SOCIETIES GENERALLY.
