Introducing Islam a Simple Introduction to Islam
The Straight Path
~ 71 ~
It is a sad fact that one tends to stray from the
straight path whenever one is obsessed with some
thing, person or idea other than God. Whenever
one’s efforts are directed elsewhere, one is
embarking on a detour which can never bring one
back to God. Such deviation from the true path can
cause man to go totally astray.
The only sure way to spiritual success is to focus
one’s attentions and efforts on God alone. This is
the straight path and involves total attachment to
God and a life lived out in complete accordance
with His will.
Any path which is not directed towards God is a
wrong turning, and will never lead Man to his true
destination.
