"If people follow the path of truth, like the universe, they can produce the same spirit of peace and harmony which the cosmos already dis-plays." - 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 Quran states: “Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens, the earth, and all who dwell in them, would have surely been corrupted.” (23:71). God’s scheme of creation is a perfect one. The whole universe is following this divine scheme. That is why the Quran points out that the universe is faultless (67:3). But human beings are free to act as they like. People follow their desires and do as they please. The result is corruption and disorder in the human world.

The solution to this problem confronting human society is the same as that which has been ordained for the rest of the universe.

If a person follows his own desires, he comes into conflict with his fellowmen, which causes trouble in domestic and international arenas.
