What is secularism?
Secularism is a corrupt doctrine that separates religion from the state, making worldly life and its desires the sole objective, and forgetting the Hereafter. This description applies to anyone who, in word and deed, criticizes the teachings of Islam, applies man-made laws instead of Islamic law, permits forbidden things, and denies the establishment of Hudud (Islamic punishments). Allah the Almighty described the Jews by saying: (Then do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? And what is the recompense of those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life?) and His saying: (Whoever desires the worldly life and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they will not be deprived by any reduction. Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter except the Fire). This description applies to secularists because their goal is worldly life and its desires.
