This is important to determine that the failure of adherents is because of not following a philosophy despite understanding or because of having the wrong interpretation of it. Once it is determined, this is important to determine what difference following or rightly following a philosophy would make in the lives of its adherents, if adherents would have been much better-off in spiritual and material sense so in either case, philosophy is conclusively right, good and noble otherwise not.   This is important to determine that the success of adherents is because of not following a philosophy despite understanding or because of having the wrong interpretation of it.

A philosophy can only be judged through its impact An analysis can not be rational if an analyzer examines the impact of a philosophy on its followers without examining how its followers have received and interpreted it. Followers; for example,   practice philosophy, but they have misunderstood and misinterpreted it: people demonstrate by their action what they wrongly believe; for example   superstitions and false heretic dogmas have permeated Islamic culture; therefore, it is irrational to judge Islam by observing its followers deeply entrenched in practices those run counter to the true spirit of Islam. An analysis, therefore, is rational if an analyzer knows that he has to analyze the actions of the adherents of a philosophy in the light of a philosophy not a philosophy in the light of their actions. (An analysis that observes the attitude and behavior of its adherents to judge a philosophy can be rational, if adherents have not only rightly understood it but also have foll

An analysis is to be rational in itself An analysis cannot be rational if a definition of any religion or any philosophy is formed by observing the attitude and behaviour of its adherents. An analysis can not be rational if the success or failure of any religion or any philosophy is determined by observing its adherents. Both analyses are irrational as it is always possible that adherents know philosophy as the philosophy is; but do not practice it in its true spirit; or in other words, adherents, despite understanding philosophy do not demonstrate by their action what they believe; therefore; neither a definition of any religion or any philosophy can be formed by observing adherents nor the   failure or the success of its adherents in terms of material and spiritual gains can be attributed to that philosophy; for example, Muslims despite knowing Divine dos and don'ts do not abide by them, hence it is irrational to judge Islam by judging   Muslims. Louis Palme says: ‘I

An analysis is to be rational in itself An Analysis that analyzes the nobility and rationality of any philosophy is to be rational in itself. An analysis can be rational if one knows the philosophy before one judges it and judges its impact on its adherents and on the world. A philosophy can only be known if one knows it through its author/creator; for example, one must learn/know what Marx means by his philosophy of Marxism. An analysis, therefore, is rational, if an analyzer knows philosophy and knows it as it is explained by its author not as it is understood by its analyzer. An analysis, therefore, is rational, if an analyzer analyzes a philosophy in the light of the meaning of its giver/provider or its creator not in the light of his understanding of a philosophy. The analysis of Louis is not rational in itself as he analyzed Islam in the light of the understanding of Carlye. Louis Palme says ‘ perhaps it is appropriate to revisit Thomas Carlyle’s lecture on Muhammad and

Abraham Lincoln, on the accusation that he was two-faced: “If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?” Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word. - Charles de Gaulle A politician is already hero but people are to reveal ·        A politician congratulates his people for an opportunity bestowed by hard times (brought by him) to reveal hero within. People must sacrifice. A politician has already sacrificed to be a politician.   In the Holy Quran God addresses human beings as his representatives or vicegerents on the earth providing them with all the necessary skills, principles and tools to lead their lives towards glory and also to lead others towards realizing their fullest potential. ·       "It is He Who hath made you (His) agents, inheritors of the earth: He hath raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He hath given you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indee

A Politician persuades ·       A politician is someone who persuades his people to give their lives to something bigger than themselves so that he can have that bigger thing. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

“Everything rises and falls on leadership.” —John C. Maxwell Empty Rhetoric ·        Rhetoric is impotent if it fails to catch up with action. All speakers can be the flamethrower of fire eating rhetoric, but rhetoric is not a noun, it’s a verb.   ·         I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb. Robert Downey, Jr. Abdullah bin Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,“All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. An Imam is a shepherd and he is responsible for those in his care. A man is a shepherd in respect of his family and is responsible for those in his care. The woman is a shepherd in respect of her husband’s house and is responsible for what is in her care. The servant is a shepherd in respect of his master’s property and is responsible for what is in his care. All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock.” Sociology 319 – Contempor
