Living Islam: Because Only That Benefits Mr Mirza Yawar Baig

Publisher Marketing: It is not what we know but what we do with it, which makes the difference. This is the foundational principle in Islam where Allah combined Imaan (Faith) with A'amaal us Saalih (good deeds). If we claim to have Imaan (faith) we have to prove that claim by practicing that faith. That is not restricted to outward appearance and formal worship alone but goes far beyond to permeate every aspect of the life of a Muslim. That is the purpose of the coming of Rasoolullah(s)who demonstrated how to live this life such that every action is converted to an act of worship. That is the power of the Sunnah - the practice of Islam. As long as Muslims lived by this code and ensured that Islam was reflected in every aspect of their lives, Islam spread in the world. When Muslims left the way of their own Prophet and started following the false messengers of commercialism, Islam became the target of the world. What we need to realize is that Allah sent us to show the world how to live - not to learn from them. Allah sent us to stand out as beacons of goodness, justice and compassion for all those who live on this planet - not for Muslims alone. Allah sent us to live as benchmarks for others to follow not as chickens scratching in the dirt competing for worms. Allah sent us to win hearts - not to win arguments. This book is an attempt to help us to do that once again by concentrating on practicing Islam in every aspect of our lives - not restrict ourselves to simply talking about it and lecturing others. I ask Allah for His Pleasure and acceptance for that is the only thing that matters. Mirza Yawar Baig
