Islam As It Is
Organisation
~ 171 ~
It is in owing allegiance to God alone that a people
are blessed with unity. It is in bowing to Him that
they are imbued with a true sense of direction and
purpose, and that their society will advance as if all
its members were bound by one and the same rope.
From such a society the causes of controversy and
disunity will automatically vanish.
The lives of those who adopt religion on the level of
individual sacrifice become truly oriented towards
God. They proceed unswervingly along a path
which will bring them close to the Almighty and to
everlasting life with Him. They can never lose their
way, and will never let themselves slip from that
straight and narrow path, for it is their deepest
conviction that it will take them straight to God,
and to the Garden which He has prepared for them.
