Islam And The World

Islam And The World

The most important need today is to help the Muslim acquire confidence in himself and in his past so that he is able to face the future with hope, courage and determination. His faith in the religion he professes, but whose genius he does not always understand, has to be revived and vitalized. His bonds with Islam are sadly mainly those of heritage. He is a Muslim because he is born to Islam. He has rarely made any serious attempt to acquire a real understanding of his religion. Of all the books, both ancient and modern, I have read on an understanding of Islam, this book, by Sayyed Abul Hasan ‘Ali Nadwi, deserves particular attention. The teaching of Islam is essentially a teaching of leadership and world welfare.
