“Deen and Mazhab are entirely different”.

1. we must refer Islam as Deen.

2. Word mazhab has never once been used in the Quran

and Hadith.

3. Instead the word that has always been used for Islam
in the original sources in Deen.

rituals of worship.

Several religion can coexist but there can only single Deen.

There cannot be two parallel system but there can be

several religions.

Religion does not afford us any objective criterion by

which we could determine whether or not our action are
producing the desired result whereas in Deen a social
order governed, the development of collective and
harmonious life correctly indicate whether or not the
people are pursuing the right course.
Distinctive aspects of Islam.
Book by Mirza Tahir Ahmed:
A universal religion, (Quran present the concept of entire
universe and not merely the God of Arabs or the Muslims).

Difference and contradiction amongst faiths and their reality,

Quran says;
“ They pervert the words from their proper places and have
forgotten a good part of that with which they were exhorted”.

An eternal religion. (we have chosen for you Islam as a

religion)

Safeguard of Holy Quran.

Noldeke says,” slight clerical error there may have been but the Holy
Quran of Othman contains none but genuine elements those
sometime in very strange order. The efforts of European scholars to
prove the existence of later interpolations in the holy Quran have
failed”.

Complete religion.

Zakat versus interest.

Islam condemns the institution of interest while the motive force it
present in place of interest to move the economic wheel is called Zakat.

Directions in political matters.

Holy Quran says that a government is duty bound to

protect the honor life and property of its people, a ruler
must always act with justice between individual and
people.

• Islamic principles of justice. (and when you judge people

do so fairly and justly).

• A religion of peace.
