The Teachings of Islam
Introduction

INTRODUCTION
Islam is not just a system; it is a means of becoming
acquainted with the Lord of the Universe. A study
of Islam should move one as proximity to God does.
To understand Islam, one should read a book which
does not just deal with creeds but also explains how
one should establish one’s relationship with the
Creator; which does not just describe conditions
which will prevail in the next life, but also instills
one with fear and apprehension about what is to be
one’s lot in the hereafter; which penetrates to the
spirit of worship and does not merely concern itself
with the way it should be performed; which does
not simply explain one’s obligations to one’s fellow-
men, but also encourages one to fulfill these
obligations and refrain from injustice.
This is an attempt to provide such a treatise on
Islam. May God accept it.
