Conversion to God By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Conversion to God

"Normally, we just observe the outside world, but we should do more than just observe," states Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, born in 1925, is an Islamic spiritual scholar.

He has authored over 200 books on Islam, prophetic wisdom, spirituality and peaceful coexistence in a multi-ethnic society. His recent book The Prophet of Peace illuminates the Islamic view on modernity, secularism, democracy and freedom of speech.

Maulana's English translation of the Quran was reviewed thus by The Times of India: “Simple and direct, the book reaches out to a large audience.”

To spread spiritual wisdom and peace, Maulana founded Centre for Peace and Spirituality in 2001. His English monthly magazine Spirit of Islam enjoys a wide readership for discussion on contemporary issues related to Islam.

Internationally recognised for his contributions to world peace, he has received, among others, the Demiurgus Peace International Award. A recent book by Georgetown University, The 500 Most Influential Muslims of 2009 has named him ‘Islam’s Spiritual Ambassador to the world’.

The sun is nature’s laboratory, in which atomic reaction converts into light. Cows are a living laboratory in which grass converts into milk. Trees are also a laboratory of nature, which take in water, minerals and gases and convert them into blossoms and fruits.

God requires man to undergo the same process of conversion as sun, trees and animals undergo with such perfection. But there is one difference: in other things, conversion is an instinctive process, whereas in man it is a conscious one; in other things conversion occurs on a material plane, whereas in man it occurs on a spiritual plane.

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is an Islamic spiritual scholar who has authored over 200 books on Islam, spirituality, and peaceful coexistence in a multi-ethnic society.
