unhealthy freedom. The Prophet has brought real
knowledge to the demarcation of what is lawful and
what is unlawful. Similarly, through the Prophet of
Islam, modern man can understand how to arrange

the proper organization of all matters in life. And

man: his teachings give man the opportunity to
organise his life in a far better way, and on a far
higher plane.
