Refinement of Spiritual Potential: Illumination of Mind and Soul

An impartial approach to Divine Revelations stems from the desire of a person to dig into the veracities of life, the mission of Prophets and Saints, the necessities of justice, and the significance of peace and human rights. Indeed, spiritual experience enriches souls, rejuvenates faith, stimulates inner emotions, dilates hearts, and offers solace to the seekers of truth. Prophet Moses and Jesus [pbut] were chosen for the guidance of their people and Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] reaffirmed it but was given the last testament Qur’an for the whole world. George Bernard Shaw called him “The saviour of humanity” who created “Spiritual Nationality”. Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] revealed a simple, vivid creed with spiritualties based on bravery and self-esteem says, Will Durant. Michael Hart placed him No.1 in his “100 Ranking of Most Influential Persons” whereas Thomas Carlyle calls him “A Silent Great Soul”. Other great European scholars who researched and commented about Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] include William Quilliam, Margaret Marcus, Dr Maurice Bucaille, La Martaine, William Draper, Pickthall and Bishop Bosworth Smith. However, Sufi Saints in Africa, Asia and the Arab World conveyed the message of the Qur’an to the masses. For the last 1439 years, countless believers have accepted and memorised the Qur’an word-by-word. Owing to worldly appeals, indolence and deceit, believers have been distracted and become weak in faith due to which they face humiliation and embarrassment today. Whether believers or people of other faith, no one would escape the accountability of individual deeds on the Day of Judgement. This book is an attempt to make believers and non-believers understand the core values of the Divine Message. After all, we are children of Adam and Eve, yet greatly divided, based on creed, sects, race, colour, and discernments. We need a road map to find our destiny in God’s purpose for our lives. We ought to recognise the intricacies of warfare that is being waged in the Arab-Islamic lands. New morality and a wave of liberalism are infiltrating Western media and family values through the proliferation of falsehoods. A serious study of Divinyl revealed scriptural truths will ultimately lead to the illumination of heart and soul. This book is a humble contribution to the body of knowledge that would hopefully appeal to the wider readership.
