The Principles Of Islam

(At the beginning of the twentyfirst) century Islam once again occupies the first part of the timetable of the world. On different countries, many people from different races and creeds, individually and collectively are becoming muslim. After embracing Islam these muslims find themselves faced with a multitude of religious and social problems to which they find no ready solutions in these non-muslim countries. After the First World War, those persons who occupied positions of leadership in traditionally Islamic countries were found to be unjust, cruel, ignorant and traitorous tyrants under whose leadership, muslims were denied the opportunity to gain religious knowledge and impart it to their children or gainful employment. As economic conditions in these countries worsened muslims were forced to seek employment in Christian countries thus encountering the same difficulties as those muslim converts in non-muslim lands. This book has been written for anyone who finds themselves in either of these situations as well as for those who want to learn or to teach Islam or who mistakenly think that it is possible to separate Islamic Sufism and Islamic Shariat. We pray assistance and divine guidance from Allah. Dr. Ali Kemal Belviranlı M.D.
