"Mankind: It is you, who stand in
need of Allah (SW), whereas He
alone is self-sufficient, the One to
whom all praise is due. If He so wills,
He can do away with you and
bring forth a new creation." (35: 1516)

he Quran is Allah (SW)s most gracious gift to all of mankind as a whole and to Muslims in
particular. Conscious living with this book is a grace like non and a blessing a few have tasted. Allah
(SW) Himself, the Exalted, the Infinite-Unknown, talking to man, that infinitesimal creature, through
this Quran. Nothing in this life measures up to this grace and this bounty. And Alhumdillah I lived with the
Quran for a long period, during which I tasted that ultimate grace and bounty. I was captured by the verbal
resonance, hammering rhyme, beautiful tempo, the expressions, the assonances and repetitions, the rhythm
and sound of phrases, its syntactic images, the metaphors and the way the verses flow imperceptibly into a
pragmatic convolutions, and its acoustic stress which induce in one a hypnotic-like state. I listened to Allah
(SW) - through this Quran - telling man who he is? Who brought him here? What is the purpose of his
creation? What is this unknown surrounding him? Who causes him to die and what happens to him after he
dies? How should he act in order to attain happiness and grace? How should he deal with his fellow men and
women? What happens to him when he goes astray, and why does he go astray? Why does he sometimes
suffer and what are the causes of calamities, misfortunes, and miseries on earth? What is awaiting him in the
hereafter? What should his economic, social, spiritual and political life be like? Who created this beautiful
and majestic universe and who is expanding it, creating and changing? Who are mans enemies and why do
they harbor enmity for him? Who are the believers and what is their character like? Who are the
disbelievers and hypocrites and what is their character like? How to believe and increase ones faith? How
does one gradually loses the ability to believe? Why were the messengers sent and what was their message?

The Quran taught me that Allah (SW) created the entire universe praise is due to Allah (SW) who
created the heavens and the earth, [6: 1] and that mans creation was taken into consideration when
designing it dont you see that Allah (SW) has made subservient to you all that is in the heavens an
earth, [31: 20] and that the whole universe and in all in it know their Maker the seven heavens and earth
extol his glory and all that they contain, [17: 44], and to Allah (SW) prostrate, willingly and
unwillingly, all that are in the heavens and earth. [13: 15]. I learned that man is a complex but unique
creature with inherent polarity of doing good and bad by the soul and proportion given to it, He has
inspired it with its impiety and its piety, [91:7-8] and shown him the two highways, [90:10] We
guided him the path either grateful or ungrateful. [76: 3] And that human nature or mans inborn natural
disposition or instinctive awareness of Allah (SW) is inherently in submission to its Maker and when your
sustainer brought forth their offspring from the loins of the children of Adam and asked them to bear
witness: Am I not Your Sustainer and they replied: Yes we bear witness, [7: 172], and this natural
disposition though might be blurred by adverse influences springs alive when man is faced with danger or
becomes helplessly desperate It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea and when you are in
ships and they sail on in them in a favorable wind, and they rejoice, a tempest and waves surge
towards them to be encompassed by death from all sides, they call unto Allah (SW) sincere in faith,
[10: 22] when Allah (SW)s chastisement befalls you or the last hour comes upon you, would you
invoke any but Allah (SW) if you are sincere, nay but it is Him alone that you invoke, [6: 40] and
whatever good you have it is from Allah (SW), and whenever harm befalls you, it is unto Him that you
cry for help. [16: 53] and when affliction befalls men, they cry out unto their Sustainer turning unto
Him but as soon as He lets them taste of His grace, some of them ascribe to other powers a share in
their Sustainers divinity, [30: 33] I learned that mans fierce enemy is Satan and his progeny and that the
battle will continue until Judgment Day. Satan is your foe, so then take him as foe, [35: 6] and Weve
created you then fashioned you then told the angels to prostrate for Adam and they did save for Satan
refused [7: 11] children of Adam: Do not allow Satan to seduce you in the same way as he caused
your parents to be driven out of paradise: he deprived them of their garment in order to make them
aware of their nakedness. Verily, he and his tribe see you while you cannot see them. [7: 27] Though
the source of this enmity and resentment cannot be fully comprehended and though the nature of Satanic
impulses cannot be understood, they are real and have dire consequences for man in this life and the next.
However man is fully equipped with the weapons to win the battle with Satan man loses only when he grows
oblivious of his weapons and such oblivion is fundamentally caused by mans self-inflicted unconsciousness,
indifference, and nonchalance of Allah (SW) signs found around him Verily, as for those who do not
expect to meet Us, have accepted the life of this world and are content with it and are oblivious of Our
signs, [10: 7].
Life with the Quran taught me that the entire universe including earth, man and woman were created in pairs
and of every thing have We created pairs, [51: 49] and that the creation of both - man and woman - was
most likely similar in nature be conscious of Your Sustainer who created you out of one single soul and
created its mate, [4: 1] it is He who has created you out of one soul, and out of it brought into being
its mate, so that he might incline towards her, [7: 189], and among His signs is that He creates for
you mates out of your own kind from among yourselves so that you might incline towards them, and
He engenders love and tenderness between you, [30: 22] and that both are equally accountable for their
own deeds it is not according with your wishful thinking, nor with the wishful thinking of the
followers of earlier revelation, who does evil shall be requited for it, and shall find none to protect him
from Allah (SW), and none to bring him succor, whereas anyone, be it man or woman, who does of
good deeds and is a believer withal, shall enter paradise, and shall not be wronged by as much as the

groove of a date-stone, [4: 123-124] and that on judgment day no excuse for not believing will be accepted
man is responsible for his own soul even if he puts forwards his excuses, [75: 14-15] and whatever
befalls him is a direct consequence of his actions whatever calamity may befall you is an outcome of
what your own hands have wrought and He pardons much, [42: 30] regardless of weather man is
conscious of the outcomes of his acts or not. I was taught that Allah (SW) mercy towards man is infinite
Your Sustainer is indeed limitless in His bounty unto men - but most of them are bereft of gratitude,
[27: 73] and that He will not hold man accountable for his powerful brain inasmuch as the mind can buckle
under the pressure of lust and wants nor for the signs of guidance found everywhere but for revelation only
have We vouchsafed unto thee, out of Our grace, a reminder, who shall turn away from it will, verily,
bear a heavy burden on the Day of Resurrection, [20: 99-100] which is the ultimate grace and bounty of
the Infinite-Unknown. I learned that willful submission or Islam is the only religion that Allah (SW)
accepts from all human beings at all ages inasmuch as His religion to all messengers and prophets was
submission if one seeks a religion other than submission [Islam] unto Allah (SW), it will never be
accepted from him, and in the life to come he shall be among the lost, [3: 85], and who could be of
better faith than he who surrenders his whole being unto Allah (SW) and is a doer of good withal, and
follows the creed of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, [4: 125].
The Quran taught me that there is no such thing as haphazard or coincidence we created all in measures,
[54: 49] for it is He who creates every thing and determines its nature in accordance with its design,
[25: 2], and that the one Who creates causes and effects is the one Who determines the outcome and you
dont will it until Allah (SW) wills it, [81: 29], and though we may not understand the wisdom of the
unknown, the only outlet from fears, insecurities, worries and concerns is to trust in Allah (SW) wisdom and
mercy no calamity can ever befall the earth, and neither your own selves but had been laid down in a
decree before We bring it into being, verily, all this is easy for Allah (SW) so that you may not despair
over whatever has escaped you nor exult over whatever has come to you, [57: 22-23]. I came to be
aware that Allah (SW) has instituted natural laws in the universe as well as laws in the human life which
everyone is subject to. These laws are called in their aggregate sunnah Allah (SW) and do not change, alter
or favor anyone, community or race no change will you ever find in Allah (SW)s way and no deviation
will you ever find in Allah (SW)s way, [35: 44] Mankinds history follows these laws and the Quran
explicitly states human history has fluctuated between two stages: belief and disbelief or as the Quran calls
it: Jahiliyyah 1 (ignorance in Allah (SW) ways) or light and that the rise and fall of empires follow these laws.
In the Quran I saw and felt Allah (SW) laws and attributes at work who is it that responds to the
distressed when he calls out to Him, and who removes the ill, [27: 62], For Allah (SW) always
prevails in whatever be His purpose, [12: 21], Verily, Allah (SW) always attains to His purpose, [65:
3], a sovereign doer of whatever He wills, [85: 16], Verily, Allah (SW) does not change mens
condition unless they change their inner selves and when Allah (SW) wills people to suffer evil there is
none who could avert it: for they have none who could protect them from Him, [13: 11], He cannot
be called to account for whatever He does, whereas they will be held accountable for what they do.
[21: 23] I learned that mans inborn intuitive cognizance of His Maker is powerful and this hunger for Allah
1

Jahiliyyah is the best fitting term describing the state of todays world. However by saying Muslims are living in Jahiliyyah, I
dont label them unbelievers, rather their perceptions and concept of Islam resemble those who lived before the advent of Islam.
Yet Muslim rulers are obviously unbelievers inasmuch as their high office entails them to rule according to Islamic law and all of
them are aware of this fact and ignore it with conscious intent. Most of the Muslims of today never knew what Islam is for them to
be called Muslims or no! One thing for certain is that the companions of the Apostle of Allah (SW) had a different Islam and
different perceptions of Islam, Allah (SW), the universe and man than the those perceptions of the progeny.

(SW) is deeply seated in the human psyche and cannot be satiated by any other means or activities and this
cognizance or hunger cannot be changed set your face steadfastly towards the faith, turning away from
all that is false, in accordance with the natural disposition which Allah (SW) has instilled into man not
to allow any change to corrupt what Allah (SW) has hence created [30: 30] or as the Apostle of Allah
(SW) said: Every child is born in this natural disposition: it is only his parents that later turn him into a Jew,
a Christian, or a Magian. (Bukhari & Muslim.)
When Islam came in the sixth century, mankind had been suffering for centuries from rotten leadership and
systems and rotten clergy and corruption has appeared on land and in the sea as an outcome of what
mens hands have wrought, [30: 40] No one can understand the need for a new messenger at that time
until he reviews the massive pile of superstitions, dubious perceptions of Allah (SW) and His relationship
with His creation, prevalent in the 6th century. The divine guidance of the Quran and its spirit and
conception breathed into the hearts of the chosen elite Prophets (S) companions and caused them to rise
out of the state of lethargy and low level of tribal stagnation to the high marks of world renown and empire.
And in a short time they changed the course of history and kindled the world as the worlds Maker had
ordered. The Quran elevated the Arabs and later Muslims and rendered them into a spiritual nation like non
before. It raised them, and with them the rest of humanity, out of the abyss of darkness into human
achievements in spirit and in material progress. The Quran corrected the perceptions of Godhood and
slavehood, the perceptions of the universe and the relation between Allah (SW) and His subjects. The rise of
Islam began when its adherents made use of Allah (SW) natural as well as spiritual laws and its demise began
when they abandoned the natural or material laws and lagged behind mankind in science and material
progress until they reached the abyss and lost both spirituality and materialism.
Of all the calamities and catastrophes that have plagued mankind since the dawn of history, the demise of
Islam was the most devastating. It demised and gradually lost the leadership of mankind and Jahiliyyah
again assumed the leadership of mankind but this time in a more sinister and dangerous disguise: in the
disguise of materialism, liberty, science and freedom which mankind are standing on top of today and
wouldnt let go of nor forsake those who represent it. During the absence of Islam, the West ruled umpire
and its values, conceptions, thoughts, life style and perceptions of Godhood, and life have dominated earth.
Yet despite the massive production, technological advancement and ease of life, man is miserable wherever
he might be and mankind are suffering as they were before Islam came from rotten leadership, systems and
clergy. Today the West stands like a giant bird soaring high but one of its wings, the spiritual one, is broken
and slowly falling down. People continue, and will most likely continue for a long time to come, to try
different ideologies and systems and in the way, mans most beautiful and noble nature, characters, and
qualities will be destroyed while his most complex and base feelings and needs will be fostered and
encouraged. A crime unparalleled in the course of history and as a result man of today is living on the brink
of annihilation and moving fast towards his destruction and whether he is conscious or unconscious of the
looming disaster, it doesnt make much of a difference inasmuch as man has lost the ability to pause owing in
large to the stress and pressure of the demands of this material civilization. Mankind today live in total
Jahiliyyah: everything around us is Jahiliyyah and the outcome of that engulfing Jahiliyyah including
peoples perceptions, thoughts, systems, customs, cultures, and laws. This Jahiliyyah is based on an
antithetical aggression on Allah (SW)s dominion over earth and on one of Allah (SW)s most solemn
attributes namely His sovereignty. This contemporary Jahiliyyah awards sovereignty to men over men
henceforth practically taking one another for Lords besides Allah (SW) not in the primitive naive way which
the Jahiliyyah at the Prophets (S) time practiced but in a more complex fashion including claiming the right
to institute concepts, values, legislation, laws and regulations and to determine the principles of right and

wrong without reference to Allah (SW)s way of life and against Allah (SW)s injunctions and hence the
subsequent aggression on His subjects as a result of aggression on His sovereignty. The humiliation of man
in the socialist systems and the gross injustices befallen the individuals and nations - via the control of capital
and employment of colonialism - in the capitalistic systems are direct consequences of the aggression on
Allah (SW)s sovereignty. People living in a non-Islamic system are worshiping each others in one form or
another and only in the Islamic system do people become free from worshiping each others to the worship of
Allah (SW) alone, listen to Allah (SW) alone, submit to Allah (SW) alone, and take from Allah (SW) only as
the supreme and sole prerogative of all sources. Never has total annihilation been so close to humanity as it
is today because of its bankruptcy in the moral sphere vital for its healthy growth and true progress. When
people in the West ran away from Allah (SW) in their quest for an escape from the Church and its oppressive
and brutal measures, its corruption and its monopoly over understanding the Bible, they ran away from Allah
(SW) and did not pause to differentiate between the corruption of the Church and the message of the Creator.
They thought they would find their freedom, humanity and liberties in democracy and in its constitutions,
parliaments, and freedom of speech and freedom of expression. But it was another illusion and the majority
ended up as slaves for those who have the capital and with it the power of legislations, freedoms, laws and
media. And later a few of them ran away from the oppressions of capitalism to communism and replaced the
Allah (SW) of democracy and capital with the Allah (SW) of the state. But communism had collapsed and
with it millions of lives were lost and democracy has bankrupted and the West has entered a new cycle of
searching for ideologies and borrowing from socialism. But social ideologies including Marxism which, in
its infancy, attracted a large crowd - inasmuch as its a doctrinal canon - in the East as well as the West had
stifled as an idea and was practically confined to the state, and its laws had become far-fetched from the
fundamentals of the doctrine. Similarly other movements such nationalism are no longer attractive and
devoid of any new assets. The leadership and hegemony of the West is over not because the Western
civilization has worn out financially or grown economically and military weak, but simply because it longer
has any values allowing it to lead and the Western system is over with. A new leadership of mankind is
needed. A leadership which can preserve and develop the material civilization humanity has reached and
provide mankind with new values along with a genuine, positive and practical system that answers to the
needs of the human entity as a whole. And Islam alone possesses these values and this system. The role of
Islam and the Muslim community is critically needed at this hour of confusion, skepticism and chaos. Islam
is not hostile nor repugnant to material ingenuity on earth as it considers it mans first duty since Allah (SW)
established him as His vicegerent on earth and regards under specific conditions mans material creativity
as worship of Allah (SW) and realization of mans purpose of existence, and your Sustainer said unto the
angels: I am about to establish upon earth one who shall inherit it. [2: 30], and I have not created the
invisible beings and the men to any end other than that they may worship Me. [51: 56] The role of the
Muslim community has arrived to fulfill what Allah (SW) designed for it when He brought it forth for
mankind: You are indeed the best community to have ever been brought forth for the good of
mankind: you enjoin the doing whats right and you forbid the doing of wrong and you believe in
Allah (SW) [2: 110] and hence We willed you to be a community of the middle way so that you
might bear witness before mankind and the Apostle bear witness before you. [2: 143] However Islam
has vanished from the face of the earth centuries ago and cannot play its role unless it takes shape in a
society; thats to organize its communal life within the framework of a state based on the ideological
premises laid down by Islam. Mankind especially today do not listen to an abstract ideology which they
cannot see adhered to and materialized in a practical way of life. The Islamic society is a group of people
whose life, values, perceptions, concepts, social and economic systems, laws, rules and regulations are
Islamic. And with this practical definition, the Islamic community with these characters has ceased to exist
centuries ago when Allah (SW) rules ceased to rule mans life umpire. Hence a revival of that community is

a must and the process of revival has begun with Allah (SW) grace. The world of today might allow a few to
publish hundreds of books about Islam and might allow a few to call people to Islam, but it will never allow
the establishment of an Islamic society even in a remote island. The very existence of an Islamic society,
however small, is a threat to Jahiliyyah wherever it might be. And today the entire world including the one
that used to be Islamic, is using iron and fire including cruel and inhumane measures to stifle the revival of
Islam at its infancy. But we are confident that Islam will prevail. The battle is between secularism and faith
and faith always prevails with Allah (SW) grace. Islam is a concept and way of life which humanity doesnt
possess inasmuch as it is not a byproduct of the western civilization nor any civilization be it east or west
and that fierce fight is futile inasmuch as their fight is against their Maker and to their own peril the
unbelievers spend their riches in order to turn others away from the path of Allah (SW); and they will
go on spending them until they become a source of intense regret for them; and then they will be
overcome [8: 36]. Mankind at large including the majority of Muslims have abandoned their faith
consciously and unconsciously and the Apostle [Muhammad] said: My Sustainer my people
abandoned this Quran [25: 31] - for centuries and it is difficult for them to comprehend the nature of the
battle. Those who are bent on denying the truth, be them carriers of Muslim names, Jews, Christians or
others will only find amusement in religion and the Quran will only add to their diabolical plots and hate
for what was revealed to you from Your Sustainer is bound to make many of them yet more stubborn
in their overweening arrogance and in their denial of the truth [5: 64], however were exhorted to
deliver the message however clear: and say: the truth has come from your Sustainer: let, then him who
wills, believe in it, and let him who wills, reject it. [18: 29] O MANKIND: there has come unto you
an admonition from your Sustainer and a cure for all the ills that maybe in mens hearts. [Quran: 10:
57]. Many Muslim scholars are genuine but lack an understanding of the human nature, history and the
nature of the battle. But others including many thinkers are leading with wonderful insouciance a
hostile battle against Islam while believing they are rendering a great service to the faith! Though many of
them are genuine in their call and despite their undisputed Islamic knowledge, their attitude is wholly based
on a nave and simple view of Islam, man and the world at large. However the majority of the scholars be
them in the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, in the West or elsewhere are nothing but religious puppets for the
rulers and do not hesitate to bend and twist the truth to suit their trivial gains. This is not new. Many rabies
and priests before them did and continue to do exactly the same: VERILY, as for those who suppress
aught of the revelation which Allah (SW) has bestowed from on high, and barter it away for a trifling
gain they but fill their bellies with fire. [2: 174].
The majority of mankind today are beguiled by this life and prone to devote themselves to the pursuit of what
Allah (SW) describes as passing delights including the pleasures which money and power can provide
and end up with a complex state and attitude of mind which causes them to lose sight of any spiritual or
moral values. Allah (SW) has instituted many natural laws in mans life which in their aggregate are called
sunnat Allah (SW) (the way of Allah (SW)) and never change. One of those laws is the law of sealing the
hearts in which a person who persistently adheres to false beliefs and refuses to listen to the voice of truth
gradually loses the ability to perceive the truth, so finally, as it were, a seal is set upon his heart. [2: 7].
Man comparative free choice is clearly laid down in the Quran: Verily, We did offer the trust to the
heavens and the earth and the mountains: but they refused to bear it, yet man took it up, [33: 72] and
he has always failed to measure up to the moral and intellectual responsibilities. Allah (SW) has taken the
covenant from all of us male and female - which is binding upon us all: And remind them of the time
when Your Sustainer brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and
made them bear witness about themselves. He asked them: Am I not Your Lord? They replied,
Most certainly, Thou alone are our Lord; we bear witness to this, Lest you say on the Day of

Resurrection, We were unaware of this thing, or lest you say, Our fathers before us took false gods
and were their descendants after them: will Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of the men who
were futile. [ 7: 172-173] Man ought to stop breaking his bond with Him after it has been established and
after He has taken it from him As for those who break their bond with Allah (SW) after it has been
established and spread corruption on earth their due is rejection. [13: 25] This life is limited to how
much it can offer and often its riches are not pure and sometimes a cause of anguish, sorrow and pain and in
comparison with the life after death, this life is insignificant in time and size: Compared with the life to
come, the life of this world is naught but a fleeting pleasure. [Quran: 13: 26] This doesnt mean to not
work hard in this life. For Allah (SW) has made man His vicegerent on earth, it only means not pay so much
heed to it unto those who are bent on denying the truth, the life of this world has been made beauteous
(charming and alluring) hence they scoff at those who have attained to faith and the believers shall be
above them on Resurrection Day and as to the worldly riches, Allah (SW) has full authority and
power to bestow these without measure on anyone He wills. [2: 212].
It has always been the case, so the Quran teaches us, that Christians and Jews in particular will never be
satisfied with Muslims and today the West - backed by Zionists and Muslim rulers and their puppet religious
scholars - is leading another Crusade against Islam and Muslims worldwide while the majority of Muslims
set and watch. This is not the first crusade nor will it be the last. They have always fought Islam since its
inception For, never will the Jews be pleased with thee nor the Christians unless you follow their own
creed and if you follow their errant views after all the knowledge that has come unto you, you would
have non to protect you from Allah (SW) and non to bring you any succor. [2: 120] and sadly enough
the Muslims followed the Jews and Christians in their errant views of life and religion and as a
consequence have reached the abyss and non can bring them any succor. It is impossible to please or
reconcile the Jews and Christians unless Muslims also adopt their attitude towards religion as they have
adopted; a paying concern for the gratification of their desires and lusts; a hypocritical stance which made
Allah (SW) worship a cloak for self-worship. Allah (SW) who has created all mankind and sees all the
generations at the same time has warned Muslims long time ago and they will never cease to fight you
until they turn you away from your faith. [2: 217] and that precisely what happened. Both the Jews and
Christians have been fighting us for centuries until they managed to take the entire Muslim world under their
banner and colonized all the known Islamic territories and after they were defeated time and again and after
they lost their colonization battle in which they massacred hundreds of thousands of Arabs and Muslims, now
they are back in Iraq and Afghanistan and back in the disguise of globalization, firms and products. Muslims
were given strong warnings asking them to be on their guard in dealing with the hostile, diabolical and
malicious scheming of the Jews and Christians and strongly admonished against any emulation of their
behavior and warned not to fall for their trickery and deceit. Yet despite all this, the Muslims seem to never
listen and till today continue to emulate and follow the West; be it in their lifestyle, their laws and practices
or their views of Godhood and religion as a whole! What else does Allah (SW) have to say to the losers for
them to listen? Is there a greater foolishness than this!?
The Quran has to be read with an open heart and mind; truly listened to and be not like those who say:
weve heard, the while they do not hearken. [8: 21] or those who, whenever they are reminded of
their Sustainers messages, do not throw themselves upon them as if dead and blind. [25: 73]. The
average run of people approach the Quran with a mere outward show of eagerness; not making the least
attempt to understand the message and hence as the above verse alluded remain deaf and blind to its
contents for indeed in the Quran: A reminder for everyone whose heart is wide-awake. [50: 37]. The
Quran was not revealed to ward off evil, or be hanged in walls or as amulets and charms nor was it revealed

to be recited in lyrics and musical tones, but as a complete code of life. The Benevolent Maker who has
made Muslims the last bearers of His last message to all mankind and realize their worthlessness and their
role in this life or at least save themselves, their skins and their families from the ever-lasting torment. I hope
Christians, Jews, Hindus, Persians and others most of them are oppressed and under terrible injustices especially their women would try to at least consider the message and search and pursue the faith which
Allah (SW) has vouchsafed for all mankind in the Quran. Islam is an international declaration of freedom
for man wherever he might be. Freedom from the shackles of the self, the ego, the fears, and worries, the
shackles of corrupt systems and corrupt governments. I am aware of the enormous gulf between mankind as
a whole and Muslims in particular and the Quran as Islam has vanished from the face of earth more than
four centuries ago when its inheritors abandoned it when they abandoned its laws and ceased to live by its
sharia or laws. Like Jews and Christians, Muslims as well deserted their faith but as one might still identify
Jews and Christians, one can still identify carriers of Muslims names. But I am certain and confident that
man will eventually come back to this Quran and mankind cannot live for long time away from it.
Today the world is divided into four categories: people of the book or Jews and Christians and those had
associated naught with Allah (SW) in the past by ascribing the notion of sonship to him, corrupted their
Bible, and later abandoned their book and set up new systems for themselves calling it capitalism,
dictatorship, monarchy, democracy, communism, nationalism and eventually split into hundreds of sects and
dominions and later put religion behind their back: For having broken their [Children of Israel] solemn
pledge, We cursed them and caused their hearts to harden: they distort the meaning of the words,
taking them out of their context and they have forgotten much of what they had been told to bear in
mind, [5: 12-13] and a similar solemn pledge was taken from the Christians: And likewise from those
who say: we are Christians, We have accepted a solemn pledge: and they, too, have forgotten much of
what they had been told to bear in mind - wherefore We have given rise among them to enmity and
hatred until Resurrection Day: [5: 14]. And a pledge was taken from the Muslims as well: And
remember the blessings which Allah (SW) has bestowed upon you, and the solemn pledge by which He
bound you to Himself when you said: We have heard, and we have obeyed, [5: 7] and Muslims broke
that pledge and the consequences are apparent. The second category is the polytheists and those are in
millions in China, India, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, and some tribes in Australia and Africa. The third
category is the atheists and though small in numbers, they make big noise owing in large to their control of
the media and includes armies of thinkers, scholars, philosophers, journalists, artists, poets, and movie and
song celebrities and those behind obscenities. The fourth category is those who claim to be Muslims and
have nothing to do with it. Those are not disbelievers in the sense that they do not offer rituals and prayers to
non but Allah (SW) but disbelievers in the sense that they ceased to implement His laws and rules in their life
and although some of them may half-heartedly concede that some of the moral teachings of the Quran
contain certain verities, they instinctively recoil from those teachings whenever they conflict with what their
own idiosyncrasies represent to them as desirable: and so they become guilty of hypocrisy in the deepest,
religious connotation of this word.
After many years of conscious friendship with the Quran, I concluded with absolute certainty that mankind
will never be happy, nor at peace, nor in communion with themselves, their fellow men and all around them
unless they go back to the Quran, build their perceptions according to its views, mould their entire life
according to its tenets and values, build their social, economic, and spiritual life according to its code,
implement its laws and injunctions in their whole life. Either man submits willfully to the Will of His
Gracious Maker and that submission can only be through an understanding of the Quran or he will suffer the
consequences in this life or the next or in both of them. Mankind will continue to try different experiences,

systems, laws and concepts but I am certain that they will go back to this book and this book alone at the end.
Humanity will continue to go up a difficult trail; a trail of wars, miseries, poverty and agonies until they
come out of the state of intoxication and insanity. I am also aware that an inflaming wall has been set
between westners and Islam and mass media has succeeded in disfiguring this faith and westners may find
inspiration in Zen, Taoism, Islam remain to most of them deplorable. Plus the fact that its own inheritors
are the worst eyewitnesses of any faith let alone Islam and their miserable economic, social, political and
military state - which is the direct outcome of their conscious and unconscious dissertation of their faith is
repulsive to say the least. Despite all that the future is for Islam.

This is a message unto all mankind. Hence, let them be warned thereby, and let them know that He is
the One and Only Allah (SW); and let those who are endowed with insight take it to heart. [14: 52],
And from Allah (SW) we seek aid.
