Islam The Voice of Human Nature
FOREWORD

might and majesty. Then will come the moment of
trial. And it will avail him little to talk of his
worldly prowess at that awesome moment, for
honour and success are hollow, worthless concepts
when achieved without the framework of a God-
centered religion. Success gained in this way will
condemn a man in the life-after-death to eternal
failure.
Only God-centred religion is real and in harmony
with man’s nature. But this truth does not occur to
him until the hour of crisis and peril is upon him. A
man may have any religion, or any material props
he chooses, but, in moments of real crisis, it is to
God that he calls out for help. Such an experience,
which we all go through at one time or another in
our lives, is a clear indication that the God-centred
religion is the only true one. As such, it should
pervade man’s entire existence. Any religion other
than this will fail him in his hour of need, in the
Hereafter; just as ordinary, everyday means of
support so often do in moments of crisis in this
world.
