ISLAM vs HUMANISM.....

Humanism is actually a philosophical and ethical stance.
Wikipedia says,
"Humanism is a **philosophical and ethical stance** that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and affirms their ability to improve their lives through the use of reason and ingenuity as opposed to submitting blindly to tradition and authority or sinking into cruelty and brutality."
.

.
So, here it is only a philosophical and ethical way.
.
When we take humanism as our religion, then it will become the standard for our way of life.
.
Now once humanism becomes our standard, then whom we will follow actually? I mean to say, "if we say that I am a human being first, so I want to show humanism", then surely there has to be some rules to follow this humanism.
.
For example, if we say, "do not torture any innocent human being",
then you may call it humanism. But yet when you have taken this philosophy as your religion, then the question arises,
.
*Who will decide the rules of humanism?*
.
Then the only answer which we can get is that different scholars of the world may set the ruling for it. So there can be organisations who will preach their rulings on humanism.
.
**So this "humanism" will become a "man-made religion", not a religion from Almighty God**.
.
Now come to the next point on it, if humanism you take as your religion, can we say that it is fully perfect?
.
Why we are saying this?
.
Because humanism is a man-made religion and man is not free from error. So how can we say that humanism will also become free from error?
.
And a point will also arise, *is humanism as a religion the solution for humanity?*
.
If we say, *yes*, then why there is no perfect peace among people?
.
For example, unmarried boys and girls are getting involved in physical relationship today which becomes a fashion in the western world. Now in western thought, it is a freedom of choice. So it will also be included in the ruling of their "humanism". So in such ruling, when boys and girls become adult, they can easily choose sexual partners without the permission of their guardians because they are adult then. So they can also choose to go to prostitutions.
.
Now in this case, don't you think that it breaks the peaceful situation in families? The guys who are sexually addicted outside marriage, how can they get peace through marriage in families?
.
Even so called humanism is also tolerating "homosexuality" today. Don't you think that it is an abnormal way of life?
.
The established scientific evidence shows that there is no such *gay gene* at the time of birth of a child. So surely, such same-sex lustful desire is a psychological disease. But the western humanism thought does not prohibit homosexual acts. Rather people are doing movement to establish their *Gay Rights* !!
.
So how can we say that Humanism as a religion can be the proper guidance for mankind???
.
.
Now let us go to the last part.
.
When we say about Islam, we clearly declare that it is not a man-made religion, but the only true religion selected by Almighty Allah. As it is not a man-made religion, so we can get the perfection here.
.
But some other things also appear with it.
.
One of them is to identify that **Islam is not a philosophical thought** , **not just a religion**, **but it's a complete way of life for the whole humanity**, it is the perfect solution to the problems of mankind.
.
So, when we say about Islam, we introduce ourselves as "muslim", not a follower of humanism because such humanism is a part of Islam and beside it, Islam has corrected the abnormal thoughts of humanism too.
.
Apart from it, **islam is not only for human being, it is for all the creatures also**, here the law may be different, for example, human being has to follow the Quran and sunnah, but a cow, or a goat need not to follow it, because the ruling is different for different creatures.
.
**Here "Islam" is the *nature* **,
But what is this nature?
.
Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said us that every child is born with "deen-ul-fitra", so this is the nature. But what does it mean?
.
It means, when a child is born, then *the child submits its will to Almighty God*, in Arabic, it is *Islam* and so every child is born becoming Muslim as *Muslim* means *the one who submits his will to Almighty God*. So, before the birth of that child, first he/she becomes a Muslim, then he/she becomes a human being.
.
So from this point of view, we can also say, *our identity is that we are Muslim first, and then human being* because the other creatures like cow, goat, dog etc are also Muslim already, meaning they have already submitted their will to Almighty, but we human being, has free will, so we can submit our will to Almighty or even can reject it too. But by birth, our nature is to submit our will to Almighty, in future when we grow up, we can also reject such way of submission, then we can adopt such way of "humanism", so in this case, we should realise that we should give priority to our first nature and that is "Islam" not "humanism".
.
.
At last, we will say that respecting other religious people doesn't mean that we have to accept other religious view too. In consideration of truth, we should be fixed in our path.
.
The names "Hindu", "Sanatan", "vedic religion" are no-where in hindu scriptures, the word "Christianity", "Judaism" etc are not also in the Bible, even the word "Bible" is not anywhere in the Bible, these names are given by human being.
.
From the beginning of the creation, the Creator has set only one path and that is to "submit our will to Almighty" which is in Arabic "Islam", but people corrupted the true path in different times, so Almighty sent different messengers to guide people to the right way, but previous prophets came for a particular time and place, so the Creator sends the last messenger prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) for the entire mankind to purify the rulings of the same path which was set from the beginning of the creation and that is Islam. Allah says in the glorious Quran,
.
"Indeed, **the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.** And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account."
.
[The Noble Quran, 3:19]

(May Allah forgive if I make any mistake. May Allah forgive us and guide us to the proper way. Ameen.)
