7.  A Muslim is one who:
 Submits to the divine injunction and
 Does not deviate (turn back) from them
 In terms of religion a person is called Muslim only
when he proceeds farther than the inherent
injunctions and submits himself voluntarily to the
optional injunctions.
 This fact also necessitated that the term
“Muslim”should not be used for those who do not
submit divine injunctions.
 In the absence of voluntary Islam inherent Islam
becomes meaningless, it carries no weight

8.  Inherent

unavoidable, it is impossible for any one to

are bound to submit to these injunctions and
they are by birth deprived of any discretion of
choice between submission or defiance

9.  Voluntary (optional)

bound to obey because of any inherent
compulsion are optional injunctions. We have
the choice to obey or to disobey these
injunctions

13.  Man is among such creature who is endowed with the
faculty of will and choice.
 That is why Allah he was bestowed with divine
injunctions.
 When the first man was being sent, Allah announced it
:
 ‫ًى‬‫د‬ُ‫ھ‬ ْ‫ى‬ِ‫ـن‬ِ‫م‬ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ك‬َّ‫ن‬َ‫ي‬ِ‫ت‬ْ‫ا‬َ‫ي‬ ‫ا‬َّ‫م‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫ف‬
 “surely my injunctions would come to you.”
 Quran has very explicitly narrated it in following
words:
 ٌ‫ْر‬‫ي‬ِ‫ذ‬َ‫ن‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬ َ‫ََل‬‫خ‬ َّ‫َّل‬ِ‫ا‬ ٍ‫ة‬َّ‫م‬ُ‫ا‬ ْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ ْ‫ن‬ِ‫ا‬ َ‫و‬

these religions was nothing but Islam and their
followers were in fact Muslims.
 Quran has cleared this doubt in this verse:
 ًّ‫ي‬ِ‫ن‬‫ا‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ص‬َ‫ن‬ َ‫َّل‬ َّ‫و‬ ‫ًّا‬‫ي‬ِ‫د‬ ْ‫و‬ُ‫ه‬َ‫ي‬ ُ‫م‬ْ‫ي‬ِ‫ھ‬ ٰ‫ْر‬‫ب‬ِ‫ا‬ َ‫ان‬َ‫ك‬ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬‫ا‬ً‫م‬ِ‫ل‬ْ‫س‬ُّ‫م‬ ‫ا‬ً‫ف‬ْ‫ي‬ِ‫ن‬َ‫ح‬ َ‫ان‬َ‫ك‬ ْ‫ن‬ِ‫ك‬ٰ‫ل‬ َّ‫و‬ ‫ا‬
 Abraham was not a Jew, not yet a Christian,
but he was an upright man who had
