Emotion The rituals produce emotions of hope, fear,


reverence and humility. The individual performing religious rituals is attached
with emotions. These emotions create close attention toward rituals.
Emotions are feelings of ones, reality before God. He compares himself and
his sin before Almighty Allah and bows down in humility. Fear and hope
reverences are created.

3. Belief It has already been discussed. It is sensation of brain


and belongs to faith not to reason. Belief in one God, the Doomsday, life after
death, the Angels, the Prophets, scared books and good and bad luck are the
elements of faith in Islam.

4. Organization Religion is organized with belief, emotions


and rituals. Without organization no religion can survive. The people
participate in rituals with emotions and make it a living institution.
Thousands of people gather at Eid-ul-Fitar and Eid-ul-Aha and lacks of people
from all parts of the world gather at Hajj. This gathering starts from the small
mosque in mohalla larger on Eids and the largest on Hajj. This system of
prayer is organized so nicely that no break can interfere in its operation.

Similarly, all other elements of Islam Kalimah, Roza, Zakat and Hajj when
organized with Namaz make Islam a complete religion for human societies.
Kalimah, Roza, Hajj and Zakat have also their independent organized system.

5. Sacred Objects Every religion has its own sacred


objects and beliefs. The temples and idols are sacred for Hindus. Cow is also
sacred for them. Cross, church Bible are sacred Christians. The Holy Quran,
the Baitullah, mosque, and other things are sacred for Muslims.

6. Symbolismin religion symbols are used for sacred objects


and beliefs. The baitullah and mosque are symbol of God and not God
themselves. The Quran is also symbol of words from Allah. Sacrifice of
animals on Hajj is a symbol of sacrifice of son made by Hazrat Ibrhim.
Offering prayer is a symbol of humility before Allah.

7. SectEvery religion has small groups of followers differing from


the main religion called sects. Among Christians there are Catholics,
protestant and others. Among Muslims there are Shia, Duobandi, Brailvi and
Ahle-Hadith. Every sect claims to be true but only one of them is on the the
path of righteousness.
