The primary purpose of Islam is to promote the well-being (falah) of all people in this world irrespective of their race, colour, sex or religion. This is the goal towards which the muadhdin calls the faithful five times a day. The purpose of a truly Islamic economy cannot be different. It has to promote development in such a way that the Islamic vision of well-being is actualized – the vision of a society where justice prevails, where the needs of all individuals are satisfied, where there is equitable distribution of income and wealth, where family integrity and social solidarity are strengthened, and where crime and anomie are minimized.

Before considering how life began, we must first understand the term "organic evolution." Organic evolution, as theorized, is a naturally occurring, beneficial change that produces increasing and inheritable complexity. Increased complexity would be shown if the offspring of one form of life had a different and improved set of vital organs. This is sometimes called the molecules-to-man theory-or macroevolution. Microevolution, on the other hand, does not involve increasing complexity. It only involves minor chemical alterations or changes in size, shape, or color. Microevolution can be thought of as "horizontal" change, whereas macroevolution (if it were ever observed) would involve an "upward" and beneficial change in complexity. Notice that microevolution plus time will not produce macroevolution. [micro + time # macro].

Both creationists and evolutionists agree that microevolution occurs. Minor change has been observed since history began. Notice how often evolutionists give evidence for microevolution to support macroevolution. It is macroevolution, which requires new abilities and increasing complexity, that is at the center of the creation-evolution controversy. In this book, the term "organic evolution" will therefore mean macroevolution.

Never has such a monumental figure been the centre of contemporary and historical debate, but what have famous writers had to say about him ? Why did he make such a global impact in such a short period of time ?

How humans view their own nature is a question imposed in the foundation of any ethical system. Some common views deny the existence of any purpose for life, or of any divine plan that makes humans any different from other beings. Another viewpoint overemphasizes the spiritual aspect of life, resulting in the renunciation of the world and belief that torturing one's body is a virtue that serves the soul. A third view of human nature tends to overemphasize the intellectual aspect of life, which overlooks the fact that humans need divine guidance as well as intellect. One other view puts sin out of proportion, leading to a pessimistic view of life that causes people to feel constantly haunted by their sins.

Islam is not a new religion, but Muslims believe God revealed it to all His prophets, who took the message to many people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life, it is a religion of peace, justice, mercy, and forgiveness. There are numerous basic questions about the faith which need clarity.

There are plenty of references to knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge in the Qur'an. The general feeling they leave the reader with is that the possessor of knowledge or wisdom has been given a very powerful gift, and that the pursuit of knowledge is something which should be done actively by everyone. read more
