Islam: Submission to God

President of Bosnia 'Alija 'Ali Izetbegovich

 

[Author is the President of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzevogina. This

essay is excerpted from his 1984 book Islam Between East and West,

American Trust Publications, second edition, 1989]

 

" Nature has determinism, man has destiny. The acceptance of this

destiny is the supreme and final idea of Islam. Destiny -- does it

exist and what form does it take? Let us look at our own lives and

see what has remained of our most precious plans and the dreams of

our youth? Do we not come helplessly into the world faced with our

own personality, with higher or lower intelligence, with attractive

or repulsive looks, with an athletic or dwarfish stature, in a king's

place or in a beggar's hut, in a tumultuous or peaceful time, under

the reign of a tyrant or a noble prince, and generally in

geographical and historical circumstances about which we have not

been consulted? How limited is what we call our will, how tremendous

and unlimited is our destiny!

 

Man has been cast down upon this world and made dependent on many

facts over which he has no power. His life is influenced by both very

remote and very near factors. During the Allied invasion of Europe in

1944, there was, for a moment, a general disturbance in radio

communications which could have been fatal for the operations under

way. Many years later, the disturbance was explained as a huge

explosion in the Andromeda constellation, several million light years

away form our planet. One type of catastrophic earthquake on the

earth is due to changes on the sun's surface. As our knowledge of the

world grows, so does our realization that we will never be complete

masters of our fate. Even supposing the greatest possible progress of

science, the amount of factors under our control will always be

insignificant compared to the amount of those beyond it. Man is not

proportional to the world. He and his lifetime are not the measuring

units of the pace of things. This is the cause of man's eternal

insecurity, which is psychologically reflected in pessimism, revolt,

despair, apathy, or in submission to God's will.

 

Islam arranges the world by means of upbringing, education, and laws.

That is its narrower scope; submission to God is the broader one.

 

Individual justice can never be fully satisfied within the conditions

of existence. We can follow all Islamic rules which, in their

ultimate result, should provide us with the " happiness in both

worlds " ; moreover, we can follow all other norms, medical, social and

moral but, because of the terrific entanglement of destinies, desires

and accidents, we can still suffer in body and soul. What can console

a mother who has lost her only son? Is there any solace for a man who

has been disabled in an accident?

 

We ought to become conscious of our human condition. We are immersed

in situation. I can work to change my situation, but there are

situations which are essentially unchangeable, even when their

appearance takes a new look, and when their victorious power is

veiled: l must die; I must suffer; I must fight; I am a victim of

chance; I get inevitably entangled in guilt. These basic conditions

of our existence are referred to as " the border situations. "

Sure, " man is bound to improve everything that can be improved in

this world. After that, children will still go on dying unjustly even

in the most perfect of societies. Man, at best, can only give himself

the task of reducing arithmetically the sufferings of this world.

Still, injustice and pain will continue and, however limited, they

will never cease to be blasphemy. "

 

Submission to God or revolt -- these are two different answers to the

same dilemma.

 

In submission to God, there is some of every (human) wisdom except

one: shallow optimism. Submission is the story of human destiny, and

that is why it is inevitably permeated with pessimism: for " every

destiny is tragic and dramatic if we come down to its bottom. "

 

Recognition of destiny is a moving reply to the great human theme of

inevitable suffering. It is the recognition of life as it is and a

conscious decision to bear and to endure. In this point, Islam

differs radically from the superficial idealism and optimism of

European philosophy and its naive story about " the best of all

possible worlds. " Submission to God is a mellow light coming from

beyond pessimism.

 

As a result of one's recognition of his impotence and insecurity,

submission to God itself becomes a new potency and a new security.

Belief in God and His providence offers a feeling of security which

cannot be made up for with anything else. Submission to God does not

imply passivity as many people wrongly believe. In fact, " all heroic

races have believed in destiny. " Obedience to God excludes obedience

to man. It is a new relation between man and God and, therefore,

between man and man.

 

It is also a freedom which is attained by following through with

one's own destiny. Our involvement and our struggle are human and

reasonable and have the token of moderation and serenity only through

the belief that the ultimate result is not in our hands. It is up to

us to work, the rest is in the hands of God.

 

Therefore, to properly understand our position in the world means to

submit to God, to find peace, not to start making a more positive

effort to encompass and to overcome everything, but rather a negative

effort to accept the place and the time of our birth, the place and

the time that are our destiny and God's will. Submission to God is

the only human and dignified way out of the unsolvable senselessness

of life, a way out without revolt, despair, nihilism, or suicide. It

is a heroic feeling not of a hero, but of an ordinary man who has

done his duty and accepted his destiny.

 

Islam does not get its name from its laws, orders, or prohibitions,

nor from the efforts of the body and soul it claims, but from

something that encompasses and surmounts all that: from a moment of

cognition, from the strength of the soul to face the times, from the

readiness to endure everything that an existence can offer, from the

truth of submission to God. Submission to God, thy name is Islam! "
