Everyone has some knowledge and convictions about Islam. However, the ma-
jority of these convictions have their origins in inadequate or incorrect sources.
Actually, what one has to do to know Islam is to study the Qur'an, which com-
prises the origin and basis of Islam. Based on the information conveyed in the
Qur'an, this book gives an account of God's attributes, our purpose in this
world, what we have to do to fulfill this purpose.

God, in the Qur'an, calls the culture of people who are not subject to the religion
of God "ignorance." Only a comparison of this culture with the honourable
thoughts and moral structure of the Qur'an can reveal its primitive and cor-
rupted nature. The purpose of this book is to take this comparison further, dis-
playing the extent of the "crude understanding" of ignorant societies.

God createsevery word one utters, and every event one experiences, from the
moment one is born into tis world. For a believer who understands this fact, un-
interrupted joy of faith becomes an unchanging quality of life. The fate decreed
by God is flawless. In this entity made up of millions of events, there is only
goodness, benevolence, and wisdom for everyone who looks at them with an
eye for goodness.

In order for justice to reign on the Earth, a morality that will make people leave
their own interests aside in favour of justice is needed. This morality is the
Qur'anic morality that God teaches and commands us. In Surat an-Nisa, God
commands believers to act justly, albeit against themselves. The purpose of
this book is to describe the true justice in the Qur'an.

In this book, all ideologies based on disbelief are referred to as "the religions of
irreligion." That is simply because these ideologies have in time evolved to be-
come religions with a complete system of beliefs, practices, and rules for con-
ducting one's daily life.

A Muslim's life is described as follows in the Qur'an: "Truly, my prayer and my
worship, my life and my death, are (all) for God" (The Qur'an, 6:162) A believer
who decides to live for the cause of God must abandon all the idols of the soci-
ety of ignorance Devoted to God is a summons to overthrow these idols for
good.
