need renaissance!!!

People are obsessed with traditions introduced by our ancestors. The height of ignorance is reached when they incorporate these traditions into religion and follow them painstakingly.
In past people, were ignorant, had lack of education that invited traditions into their lives. As time passes, their grip on the society grew stronger as that of a leech. The present situation is that we succumb to these namesake traditions and would never wink an eye to give them a second thought.
But in the present time,the education, that we fortunately have received, puts the onus on our shoulders to remove all these parasitic germs from the society as their presence makes it unhygienic and cumbersome for us to breathe in. we are being given Quran to be used as weapon against the germs of the society. If you are a girl the onus is more as you can see the atrocities against women in the name of religion, being more rampant.
I do not know why people of 21st era after being acquainted with prefer clumsily to be shackled with traditions. It seems as if education hasn’t enlightened them enough or it could be vice versa that they have shut their mind and not giving space for any kind of ventilation to come in. They are running behind vain traditions that they have been entitled to through inheritance. Without realizing,we have been fortunately been gifted education by Almighty and we should be using it.
Wake up, dude!!!!! Break up the shackles and breathe in open air!!! Guide yourself with Quran that you might have kept securely in reverence on the top shelf of your cupboard. I do not know why people have reduced the importance of Quran to a book that should be kept in each house to ensure good welfare and a book that should be respected to the extent that they shouldn’t be read often. Whenever they have any kind of doubt regarding Islam they won’t refer Quran the gospel words instead look for clerics. I do not know what they think of these clerics. These clerics also refer the same Quran that we have in our house at the highest shelf with layers of dust enhancing its worth. They aren’t different from us.
Now don’t dare to concoct excuses to make up for your flaws as to I do not know Arabic. Dude!!! You will eagerly and willfully be ready if I ask you to learn language like French …… then why not Arabic. At least one should give it an attempt to learn with honesty, rest Allah will better take care of.
Okay!!! If you still find it difficult for yourself then you can better opt for Quran translated into a language that you are well versed in. Go and grab it unfailingly, dude!!! Last but not the least apply your mind, logic to clarify your doubt Allah will surely help you out in your quest of truth.
From my childhood till now the adolescence age I have been observing that Islam is not what people depict it to be. People present Islam with all the traditions that make it cumbersome to follow. People have become diehard and resist to change. But I do not think that I can live with this and even you dude!!!! ……we have to be proactive and bring the renaissance in Islam

Ys its right, understanding Islam is easy and following it is easier... But people do have a habit of making it complicated... Isiliye kaha jata hai, Namaz qayam Karo aur Quran tarjume ke saath parho... "Read the Qur'an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.'' [Muslim].... Nice article...!!! :)
