REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA— The coming of Islam brings people out of darkness, disbelief, and disbelief. Islam brings man to the true light, to the purity of faith. The arrival of Islam put an end to paganism and its faithfulness.
And in a short time the Messenger of Allah established a sublime Islam, a true and strong faith. The advent of Islam calls to worship the One God. Eliminate all idols, improve individuals, families, societies, and abolish all differences.
Islam came up with only judging humans based on piety, and pious charity. So even the Arabs experienced such drastic social changes. As Allah says in Surah al-Hujarat verse 13:
إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم إن الله عليم خبير
“Indeed, the mildest of you on the side of Allah is the most pious among you. Verily Allah is knows everyting.“
Islam comes and resists error, wickedness and the practice of witchcraft, as well as all heresies including mourning for death. As the Prophet said:
ليس منا من شق الجيوب ولطم الخدود، ودعا بدعوى الجاهلية
“It is not among us that one rips clothes and slaps his cheeks, and shouts with the cries of the Jews. “(narrated by Muslim).
The main goal of Islam to eradicate paganism is to build devotion to Allah alone. And to be absolutely beholden to Allah in all things, and believe that Allah stands alone.
