Examining Sub-Continental Scholars' Perspectives on the Concept of Iqamat-e-Deen

Abstract

It is indicative of Allah Almighty's Caliph that not only is he bound by divine commands, but he also endeavors to propagate these noble principles and their application. Within this context, summoning people to religion and guiding them on the path of Allah stands as the foremost duty. Prophets, peace be upon them, were selected by Allah specifically for this mission from among humanity. Following them, their true successors assumed the responsibility of this significant task, becoming their rightful inheritors in carrying out this pivotal duty—an ongoing struggle that endures untiringly.

Following the expansion of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent was blessed with the radiance of Islam's light. Here, Islam was introduced as a force for benevolence and aid to the oppressed. Indeed, from that time until the present day, the need for this facet of Islam persists, perhaps even more so. Islam faces challenges from non-Muslim elements, with its tenets hindered from implementation and obstacles placed in its path. Despite this, religious scholars, learned individuals, and contemporary thinkers have tirelessly utilized their preaching, writings, and all available capabilities in their endeavors. The struggle to strengthen Islam persists.

This philosophy aligns with the tenets of the Salaf and religious jurisprudence. It draws inspiration from the Qur'an, Sunnah, and erudite scholars who support this ideology and virtuous effort.
