The Holy Quran presents an irrefutable basis and belief system for
the establishment of a stable and harmonious life in this world,
and a triumphant return to Paradise in the Next. There are
misunderstandings about the very source-springs of human well-being
the belief in the spiritual realities of existence, the infinite
love for the Holy Messenger, and the unity regarding the
implementation of the divinely revealed programme for human
society.Young people all over the world, Muslim as well as
non-Muslim, are brought up and educated in an environment permeated
by scientific materialism. It is modern learning which programmes
their minds and causes them to reject anything they find
incompatible with what they have been taught about man and life on
the earth. This book will clarify the misunderstandings and
confusions about Islamic spirituality on scientific
grounds.Scientific orthodoxy refers to magnetic sensitivity in
human beings, electromagnetic energies that permeate our
atmosphere, the flow of positive and negative ions in the
atmosphere affecting human brain activity, the function of the
pineal gland and many other empirical sources of transcendent
experience that are yet to be investigated. This magnetic energy
basis of spiritual experience, which the scientific camp has been
forced into revealing, has proved to be a welcome development of
modern science from the point of view of Islamic spirituality.The
younger generation of modern times will have their belief
reconfirmed by the study of the scientific facts cited in this
book. The scientific reality of Islamic spirituality is
demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt.
Rumi's great book of wisdom-infused poetry contain myriad lessons
on the importance of faith, with the culture and lessons of
spiritual, Biblical and Islamic teachings featuring strongly. In
authoring his masterwork, Rumi quoted the Qu'ran, the Bible and
several spiritual forebears. Wishing to align his poetry in order
to tell tales of man and man's place in the world, Rumi drew upon a
variety of religious and spiritual sources to create a poetic
compendium of supreme profundity and depth. The Masnavi was praised
as one of the finest works of mystical literature ever seen. It is
in the Masnavi that Persia's place between the spiritual cultures
of Asia and the Middle East is evidenced. Rumi himself, while
undoubtedly an Islamic scholar of great ability, did not feel
confined to the faith; he saw spiritual value in a range of
disciplines, and asserted that the light of Mohammed's prophecy
does not leave faithful Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians or other
denominations behind.
