Principles of Islam
6. Divine Way

people will not only invite their own destruction
but will also destroy others.
How must man live in social life? How should he
deal with others? What should be his behavior?
What norms should he follow in his sayings and
deeds? For all this God has given clear commands.
He has explained what man should do and what he
should not do. In life’s daily affairs opting for the
course permitted by God is like the stars moving in
the orbits fixed for them. On the other hand,
indulgence in forbidden things is like deviation
from the fixed sphere. It is people who deviate in
this way who cause all kinds of evil and corruption,
and who, in their straying, destroy not only
themselves but also the society in which they live.
The true believer is one who leads his life in the
sphere appointed for him by God. It is those who
unswervingly pursue the course set for them by
their Creator, will share God’s blessings in this
world as well as His eternal blessings in the
Hereafter.
