Islam and the Modern Age

Whether or not Islam can administer the needs of humanity in the present circumstances?

Hawzah News Agency – This book contains 13 chapters. In first chapter, the author says: The question as to whether or not Islam can administer the needs of humanity in the present circumstances is itself a strange one. Its incongruity becomes more apparent when it is put in the context of the real meaning of Islam on which the Qur'anic invitation is based; since Islam is the path which acquaints humanity with the system of creation of universe.

Islam provides such laws for mankind as a rein conformity with human nature and a rein complete harmony with the really natural instinctive human needs- though not such “needs” as a reconceived by imagination and caprice. It is evident that the human nature is the same and will be the same as long as human beings exist, irrespective of place and time or their way of life. Nature has laid before them a path, which they may either accept or refuse to tread.

On this basis, the above mentioned question may be put thus: if human beings act according to the path indicated by nature, is there any guarantee of their attaining the happiness and bliss as demanded by their nature? Islam is the path of nature and, therefore, is the eternal and unchanging path for mankind to follow. Its unchangeable laws affirm man's legitimate, natural and physical desires, and guide him towards the ultimate abode of his happiness and bliss.

The Qur'an says: So set thy face to the religion, as a man of pure faith God's nature upon which He originated mankind. There is no changing God's creation. That is the right religion... (30:30)
