For us Muslims, Islam makes it clear that the Islamic system is feasible and capable of application to all manner of conditions and at all times. We must manifest to humanity that our Islamic system and its values and orders are continuous and eternally valid. There should not enter any frailty in our belief, nor should there be any belittlement of our faith, be it, by way of principle, behavior, or code of thought, and life.
