Every one can see that the universe we live in is an orderly universe. There is law and order among all the units that comprise this universe. Everything is assigned a place in a grand scheme which is working in a magnificent and superb way . The sun, the moon ,the stars and in fact all the heavenly bodies are knit together in a splendid system .They follow an unalterable law and do not make even the slightest deviation from their ordained course The earth rotates on its own axis and in its revolution round the sun scrupulously follows the path laid down for it .Similarly , everything in the world ,from the little whirling electron to the mighty nebulae , invariable follows its own laws. Matter, energy ,and life-all obey their laws and grow and change and live and die in accordance with those laws. Even in the human world the laws of nature are quite manifest . Man's birth ,growth and life are all regulated by a set of biological laws . He derives sustenance from nature in accordance with an unalterable law. All the organs of his body from the small tissues to the heart and the brain are governed by the laws prescribed for them, In short ,ours is a law - governed universe and everything in it is following the course that has been ordained for it .

This powerful , all -pervasive law ,which governs all that comprises the universe ,from the tiniest specks of dust to the magnificent galaxies in high heavens ,is the law of God ,the Creator and ruler of the universe as the entire creation obeys the law of God ,the whole universe therefor ,literally follows the religion of Islam - for Islam signifies nothing but obedience and submission to Allah , the Lord of the universe .The sun , the moon , the earth and all other heavenly bodies are thus 'Muslim'. So is the case with air ,water and heat ,stones ,trees and animals . Every thing in the universe is 'Muslim' for it obeys God by submission to his laws .Even a man who refuses to believe in God or offers his worship to someone other than Allah ,has perforce to be a 'Muslim' as far as his bodily existence is concerned. For his entire live from the embryonic stage to the body's the dissolution into dust after death , and every tissue of his muscles and every limb of his body follow the course prescribed for each by God's law. His very tongue which, on account of his ignorance , advocates the denial of God or professes multiple deities, is in its very nature a 'Muslim'. His head which he wantonly bows to others besides Allah is a born Muslim .His heart wherein through his lack of true knowledge, he cherishes love and reverence for others is 'Muslim' by intuition .These are all the obedient to the Divine law, and their functions and movements are governed by the injunction of that that law alone.

This , in short , is the real position of man and the universe .Let's now examine the problem in a different light .Man is so constitute it that there are two aspects of his live :to distinct spheres of his activity .One is the sphere in which he finds him self totally regulated by the Divine law. he can not budge an inch or move a step a way from it. Nor can he evade it in any way or form. In fact, like other creatures, his is completely caught in the grip of the law of nature and is bound to follow it. But there is another sphere of his activity as well . He has been endowed with reason and intellect . He has the power to think and form judgment, to choose and reject ,and to adopt and spurn .He is free to adopt whatever course of life he chooses He can embrace any faith, adopt any way of life and formulate his living according to whatever ideologies he likes. He may prepare his own cod of conduct or accept one formulated by others . He has been bestowed with free - will and can chalk out his own course of behavior. In this latter aspect ,he, unlike the other creatures ,has been given freedom of thought ,choice and action . both these aspects distinctly co-exist in man's life . in the first he ,like all other creatures ,is a born 'Muslim , invariably obeys the injunction of God ,and is bound to remain so . As far as the second aspect is concerned, he is free to become or not to become a Muslim. Here he has been given the freedom of choice - and it is the way a person exercises this freedom which divides mankind in to two groups : believers and non believers . An individual who chooses to acknowledge his Creator ,accept Him as his real Master ,honestly and scrupulously submits to His laws and injunctions and follows the code He has revealed unto man for his individual and social, thereby becomes a perfect Muslim. He has ,so to say ,achieved completeness in his Islam by consciously deciding to obey God ithe domain in which he endowed with freedom and choice .Now his entire life has become one of submission to God and there is no conflict in his personality . He is a perfect Muslim and his Islam is complete - for this submission of his entire self to the will of Allah and nothing bI.has he had already been unconsciously obeying . He has now willingly offered obedience to the Master Whom he already owed obedience unintention. His knowledge's now realfor he has ackthe Being Who endowed him with the power to learn and to know .Now his reason and judgment are set on an even keel-for he has rightly decided to obey the Being Who bestowed upon him the faculty of thinking and judging .His tongue also is truthful for it expresses with conviction its confession of the Lord Who gave it the faculty of speech .Now the whole of his existence is an embodiment of truth for, in all spheres of life ,he voluntarily as will as involuntarily obeys the law of the same One God---the Lord of the universe for he worships Him Whom the whole universe worships. Such a man is God's vicegerent on earth the whole world is for him and he is for God.
