Maulana Wahiduddin Khan Boeken
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is een islamitische spirituele geleerde die vrede heeft omarmd als zijn levensmissie. Zijn filosofie richt zich op positieve actie en het constructief benaderen van levensuitdagingen, waarbij hij inzichten put uit de islamitische geschriften. Hij pleit ervoor om moeilijke situaties niet te zien als problemen om over te klagen, maar als kansen die overwonnen kunnen worden door ijverige inspanning en strategische betrokkenheid. Dit principe om tegenspoed om te zetten in een katalysator voor groei, onderstreept zijn unieke perspectief op het bereiken van succes en voldoening.

This anthology of articles by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is designed to illustrate the science of life which the author has derived from one of the basic principles of the Quran: "Every hardship comes with ease." (94:5-6). In his view, failure in life is a common occurrence, but that coupled with a positive attitude, it can be transformed into success. Failure, on the other hand, coupled with a negative attitude is again failure. The author gives examples from the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, to show that there is no end to the possibilities of success life for the individual who can take a lesson from failure. He also cautions that life's tribulations must be faced patience, perseverance and compassion.
All the teachings of Islam are based on the principle of peace.... It is no exaggeration to say that Islam and violence are contradictory to each other . The concept of Islamic violence is so obviously unfounded that Prima facie it stands rejected. The fact that violence is not sustainable in the present world is sufficient indication that violence as a principle is quite alien to the scheme of things in Islam . Islam claims to be an eternal religion and, as such, could never afford to uphold any principle which could not stand up to the test of time. Any attempt to bracket violence with Islam amounts therefore, to casting doubt upon the very eternity of the Islam religion. 'Islamic terrorism' is a contradiction in terms, much like pacifist terrorism. And the truth of the matter is that, all the teachings of Islam are based directly or indirectly on the principle of peace.
