However, anyone who wishes to escape from the difficult and
depressing life they are leading and who sincerely wants all humanity
to be able to live a life full of happiness and inner tranquility ought to
make an effort to find the right way. Therefore, they should carefully

investigate the philosophies by which they are influenced and should
be inwardly certain which path is the most correct, the wisest and the
one that best accords with their conscience.
The purpose of this book is to show people whose quest for the
truth has led them to adopt the positive messages of the karma phi-
losophy, that it is not the best path since it is derived from a religion
based on myths, superstitions and practices that defy reason. The only

way for people to live happily and enjoy peace of mind in this life and
in their eternal life after death is for them to have faith in Allah and to
act in accordance with the dictates of the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the
book of truth revealed by our Lord, Allah, for the sake of thinking peo-
ple; it is our only guide to salvation, bringing people from darkness
into light. The only true way is to put into practice the ethics of the
Qur’an and to fear Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth,
Who keeps people from wickedness, discord, cruelty, oppression, in-
tolerance, despair, pessimism, unhappiness and every kind of repre-

hensible act, and to live in accord with the Sunnah of His Noble
Messenger, Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
