The True Jihad
All the teachings of Islam are based on the principle of peace.... It is no exaggeration to say that Islam and violence are contradictory to each other. The concept of Islamic violence is so obviously unfounded that prima facie it stands rejected. The fact that violence is not sustainable in the present world is sufficient indication that violence as a principle is quite alien to the scheme of things in Islam. Islam claims to be an eternal religion and, as such, could never afford to uphold any principle which could not stand up to the test of time. Any attempt to bracket violence with Islam amounts therefore, to casting doubt upon the very eternity of the Islamic religion. Islamic terrorism is a contradiction in terms, much like pacifist terrorism. And the truth of the matter is that, all the teachings of Islam are based directly or indirectly on the principle of peace.
Spirit of Islam
SLAM in Contemporary Language Al-Risala has a two-fold aim: first, to introduce Islam as a divine message; second, to promote positive and constructive thinking among the people. It is published in Urdu and English by the Islamic Centre, New Delhi.
The Prophet of Peace
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, one of the most eminent scholars of Islam in the contemporary Muslim world, draws on original Arabic sources to correct misconceptions about Islam's early history and to establish that the revolution brought about by the Prophet was entirely bloodless. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad formulated an ideal ideology of peace which he faithfully and rigorously put into practice. In his time, there were some minor skirmishes, but no full-fledged wars. The Prophet of Peace deals with the significant issues associated with the life of the Prophet, including jihad, itjihaad, the concept of war and the relationship with other religious communities. Quoting extensively from the Q...
The Quran
The Quran is the sacred text of Islam. For Muslims, it is the word of the one God. The Quran was revealed to the last prophet and messenger Muḥammad (محمد) from the year 610 until his death in 632 by the angel Gabriel (جبريل). According to the Quran, Allah is the author of all the sacred books of the three monotheistic religions that are Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. He thus revealed the Gospel to the penultimate prophet Jesus and the Torah to the prophet Moses. We read thus in verse 3 of sura 3: "He brought down on you the Book (the Quran) with the truth, confirming the Books descended before him. And He brought down the Torah and the Gospel". However, Islam considers that with the exception of the Quran, all the holy books have been falsified by man. Verse 75 of Sura 2 goes in this direction: "- Well, do you hope [Muslims] that such people [the Jews] will share your faith with you? while a group of them; after having heard and understood the word of Allah, knowingly falsified it. "This present work is a translation into English of the meaning of the verses of the Quran made by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.
Timeless Wisdom
The Prophet was an unwavering advocate of peace and non-violence. He established peace as summum bonum; and for this it was necessary to eliminate every trace of negative thinking and consider every person to be a potential friend. This is the essence of Islamic teachings. Islam upholds peace above all. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan has; through this ‘TIMELESS WISDOM’; try to show the true face of Islam to the world. In this world; where plurality of cultures; religions and ethnicities enrich lives; peaceful co-existence is the only way of life. However; what we see around us today is just the opposite. Lack of self-discovery and misinterpretation of religions is leading the youth wayward. Thr...
In Search Of God
Some thinker has said, A smattering of knowledge turns people away from God. Grater knowledge brings them back to Him . The author concludes in this book by examining various theories that the choice humanity have is not between the universe with God and the universe without God. The real option is between the universe with God and no universe at all. Therefore humanity is compelled to opt for the proposition the universe with God. Hence it is logical to say I exist, therefore, God exist.
Islam
Although a building is composed of many parts, what really hold up the entire structure is its pillars. If they are strong, the whole structure will be sound. If they are weak, the entire edifice will crumble. The book stresses that those which support the edifice of Islam are of immense strength, but they must first of all be raised up by its adherents if they are to support its structure.
Peace in Kashmir
On an occasion of an international conference in Switzerland in 2001, the Maulana heard an 80-year old Kashmiri participant viewing the beauty around her in awe: "Our Kashmir was as beautiful as Switzerland, but today it stands destroyed." Thinking of this he states that the blame for the destruction of Kashmir must be placed on the shoulders of those inept Kashmiri leaders who, with their emotionally-driven rhetoric, completely misled their people and pushed them on to the destructive path of militancy. Had they led them instead along the path of educational and economic advancement, Kashmir might today have been a model of progress and prosperity. But these incompetent leaders, with their completely unrealistic dreams and empty slogans, have caused such terrible damage to the Kashmiris that it cannot possibly be undone, not even in a hundred years. Now the time has come for the Kashmiris to completely and permanently abandon the path of militancy, and, instead, to adopt the path of peace and progress. Only then can the dream of Kashmir as 'heaven on earth' come true
Woman in Islamic Shari'ah
The book tries to clear the notion that to interpret the Islamic concept of woman as, degradation of woman is to distort the actual issue. Islam has never asserted that woman is inferior to man: it has only made the point that woman is differently constituted. The prophet used a parable to explain the delicacy of women s nature, pointing out that they should be treated in accordance with their nature. Their delicate emotional constitution should always be borne in mind.
