Islam is in harmony with “Human Nature”

The first requirement is to define human nature, then proceed to establish its relationship with Islam. Human nature is the sum total of innate, inborn and inherited qualities and habits which are common to all human beings. (That is, the innate qualities and habits that humans have in their origin and nature.) For example, we work, eat, drink, be, have other physical and sexual needs and desires, have emotions, They are social, they fight, they argue and they live in demand for power, authority and fame etc. All these are some examples of human nature.


Man consists of a 'soul' and a 'physical structure'. That is, soul and body. Therefore, we have both spiritual and physical needs. We are neither angels nor beasts. According to Islam, it is a big mistake to consider human beings as mere "animals" and to exclude the spiritual side of their existence. Similarly, like the angels. or It would also be a mistake to think bigger than them and to completely ignore the biological, animal and sensual aspects of our existence. We are not like angels, and certainly we are much better than animals. We neither evolved from animals nor are we as subtle as angels.


Any system, theory. or For religion to be compatible with human nature, it has to consider all the natural and instinctive qualities and habits of human beings with understanding and comprehensiveness and provide proper guidance to help people reach their goals in life. If he pushes back any natural and instinctive attribute and habit. or Suppresses it completely, and/or omits any of them. or Then no guidance is provided, so that system, theory. Religion is not suitable for humans and is flawed, incomplete and incomplete.


Islam does not push back, nor completely suppress, any part of 'human nature'. or Ignores Instead, it teaches its followers how to properly control and shape their nature. Wherever human beings have the slightest opportunity to misuse their natural attributes and habits, Islam advances and transforms the course of 'human nature' into a legitimate goal. The principles, principles and teachings of Islam do not conflict with human nature. They remain by the side of humans, gradually changing the course of human action so that they can adapt easily and learn to walk with confidence in the path of the righteous. Islam stays with its followers until they achieve the final success of the Hereafter.


Islam is not against the 'natural desire' of people to become rich, but demands that they earn it in legitimate ways that sustain and regulate it. Islam is not against spending money but it encourages them to spend it for good purposes. For example: Helping the needy. According to Islam, the betterment of poor people with their wealth and resources. or Using it to solve the problems of your community will not diminish your wealth, rather Allah, who has blessed you with wealth before, surely has the power to increase it and bestow it anew. Islam does not forcefully take people's wealth without their will, even for the betterment of others. It promises great rewards to those who voluntarily and with the intention of pleasing Allah spend their wealth for humanitarian purposes.


Islam is not against eating delicious food, but it teaches that eating on a half stomach is healthier than a full stomach. Staying relatively hungry makes a person feel grateful for the blessings of his Lord and those who are dying of hunger around the world. Islam is to wear luxurious clothes. Not against, rather it rewards simplicity and frankness. Being simple and sincere strengthens the inner soul and conscience to focus less on this material world and more on its higher purpose.


Islam says eat what you want but make sure it is halal, and drink as much as you want, but avoid haram drinks. Sleep as much as necessary but perform your daily prayers before going to sleep and after waking up. Go as much as necessary but take care of your health. Love your family and friends immensely, but do not forget your Lord or your responsibilities. Worship your Lord as much as you want to get close to Him but not at the expense of your family who need your time and attention. Totally balance everything, be 'moderate' and not 'extreme' in any way.


Use time and energy wisely in helping others, and take on as much burden as you can bear. It is not your problem to fix the whole world but it is your constant duty to fix yourself first. Be flexible and gentle with yourself and others. Tell, teach, but don't impose.


Islam requires its followers to do only what is humanly possible and guides each person to the best of his ability for each situation. In essence, it is a way of living according to human nature. Therefore, on the Day of Judgment, Allah Ta'ala will ask everyone to answer according to their ability, knowledge, actions and work so that justice prevails.


The Islamic system of life wants people to maintain their human status and positions, to become sincere and God-fearing followers, not to become like animals. Avoid falling below their level, and rise to higher attributes. To ensure the achievement of this goal, Islam prescribes principles that are appropriate to "human nature" and are very easy to follow.
