Belief, Daily Life & The Hereafter
Item Description:
Description from the publisher:
Forward: For the last twenty seven years I have been writing on different aspect of the practical implementation of Islam and Islamic solution of ever new problems arising in the different spheres of life. Most of those articles were being published in the monthly journal ôAlbalagh.ö A collection of such articles had been published in Urdu about 17 years ago under the caption ôAsr-e-Hazir Mein Islam Kaiysay Nafiz Hoö How to implement Islam in the Present Time) comprising of about 750 pages.
Even after the publication of this book I had the opportunity of writing on other aspects of the same subject, and friends expressed a desire that these later articles may also be included in the same book. But when I found that an addition of these articles in that book would make it a voluminous book. Making it difficult f or the readers to get full benefit from it. Further, these articles pertained to different topics like politics, law, economy, education, social life, and individual reforms, etc., and a book of that size would have a disadvantage for those who would be interested in a single topic for which they would have to but the whole book many of whose articles may not be their interest.
For this reason I thought it proper that it would be more appropriate to compile articles on different subjects separately, rather than collecting them in one book.
May Almighty Allah make it beneficial for the Muslims and may it be a source of AllahÆs reward in the Hereafter.
