Clarification
Preface
For those persons
who wish to study and apply Islam at a more intense level, the following
program is recommended:-
1. It is presumed
that the Quran has been read with commentaries with a receptive rather than a
negative and hostile attitude.
2. Read “The Alternative Way”
3. Undertake the 5
pillars of Islam and the 3 Duties. This includes study of the Quran as opposed
to merely reading it.
4. Study the series
“Views of Islam”. Study means:- (a) To read each article. (b) To
think about it. (c) To pose questions and try to find answers. (d) To try to
systematise by relating and co-ordinating the ideas with the others. (e) To
observe the world around you in order to note where and how it applies. (f) To
follow the news, discussion groups and various documentaries on Television and
other relevant literature.
5. Study the
“Answers to Questions and Criticisms of Islam”. Find criticisms and
compose answers to them.
6. Study the series
“Clarification”.
7. Try to create an
environment in time and space that facilitates beneficial influences, avoids
wastage of futile efforts, removes harmful influences or transforms them. It is
necessary to understand that both efforts and rest and relaxation are required
and there should be a healthy balance between these. As a human being is a
whole made of several inter-dependent aspects and has physical and social needs
as well as spiritual needs all these need to be attended to.
8. Expand personal
awareness, observation, experiences and studies in all fields of knowledge and
endeavour as far as possible and undertake various spiritual exercises.
