I truly believe that the only way we, as human beings, can
get out of the mess we have put ourselves into is by
reforming our lives and keeping our evil caprices under check. The only way we can accomplish this is to
fully emerge ourselves in the training of our egos: to scrub away the dirt of greed, jealousy, anger, hatred, malice, etc. and replace it with love, light, kindness and a general concern and well-wishing for all of mankind.
In the following article,
Shaykh Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi emphasizes that Allah, the Almighty, has ennumerated in the Holy Qur'an
the principle of taqwa, or fearing God, which can, and will, revolutionize our whole lives and then
affect the whole of humanity.
Tawfiq,
