Foreword

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Peace and blessings of Allah be upon His
Messenger, Muhammad, and all his family and companions.
We are living in an age of tremendous cataclysm and uncertainty.
People everywhere are groping anxiously for something that can save
humanity, which has lost its way and is on the brink of unprecedented
disaster. It is also true to say that we live in an era of the ultimate
material civilization and progress, but in terms of values and morals,
mankind appears to be diminishing day by day. Islam claims to provide
answers and solutions, ones which are compatible with reason, logic,
and the realities of the human life, In Islam, there are no obscure or
mysterious things that we have only to believe without being allowed
to ask about them. It is the Qur’an, Hadith and Sunnah which provide
answers in convincing, conclusive and incomparable style.
Dr Najeeb Qasmi wrote many articles on contemporary issues and
tried to guide humanity to the right path. But all his articles were limited
to Urdu language and it was required to translate his work into English
to convey the teachings of Islam to a broader horizon. The task of
translating and editing into English at individual articles level and then
compiling them into 14 volumes was an arduous one but with the
blessing of Almighty Allah, I was able to accomplish this task within
the specific time and I am thankful to my family for all their cooperation.
Without their kind support it would not have been possible to complete
it in time.
May Allah accept our efforts to spread the message of Islam and guide
us all to the right path.
