Question:

Dear Brother,

Once again I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind, "Some of the non Muslim communities thought we are fundamentalist, when we spent our life and work under the strict Islamic legislation but "who do you think" that Islam is a simple religion and easy to understand but some people made it too complicated.

ANSWER:

Islam demands its followers to practice Islam fully. It does not allow one to be choosy. Either you accept it fully, or you reject it completely. Orders of Allah, our creator, cannot be ignored in some sphere of our lives. We are not on equal footings with Allah. This is Christian belief that they are free to commit sin, and disobey the religion, because prophet Isa was crucified for their salvation. No such belief is allowed in Islam. either for Prophet MUHAMMAD SAW or any body else. One is bound to face Allah on the day of judgment, and answer for his actions and deeds. How would he explain his sins committed on this earth?
The religion, no doubt, is simple. This does not mean that a Muslim is free to do what ever he wants to do i.e. commit sin and disobedience.
The Prophet SAW said that " Your deen is easy. Do not go to extremes. Do your work the simple way." ( ABU Hurairah. Bukhari). Also the deen is easy in the sense that it gives concessions to people because of their circumstances. Such as, one can pray standing if he is healthy and sound.. How ever if he is sick, he can pray sitting or lying down. But he must pray. A man should fast, if he is healthy and at home. But if he is sick or on journey, he can postpone the fasting or pay fidya for it, etc.
