Excerpt from The Manifesto of Islam, an Exposition of Islam as the Inevitable World Ideology, of the Future
The present crisis in world affairs, threatening the total collapse of civilization and even the total extinction of the human rice, is forcing mankind to search for a remedy. Of late their interest in religion has suddenly revived. Is religion, properly understood, the only refuge of mankind from these impending calamities! They arc searching for an answer to this question.
On the other hand the Muslims arc claiming openly and repeatedly before the whole world that Islam is the only ideology that can permanently unite the human race, establish a lasting peace on earth and carry man to that highest stage of his mental, moral, material and spiritual evolution of which there is a promise in the potentialities of his nature.
This devolves upon the Muslims the responsibility to tell the world what Islam is, how it differs from other religions, what are the intellectual foundations of its claims, what arc its aims and objects and how it intends to realize them.
"The Manifesto of Islam" is an endeavour to provide a brief answer to these questions.
The word "manifesto" has been generally used for a declaration, by a sovereign, a state or a body of individuals, making known past actions and motives of actions announced as forthcoming. But since the appearance, a century ago, of the 'Communists Manifesto' as an instrument of world-wide propagation of Communism leading ultimately to the emergence of that ideology as a great political power in the world - this word has acquired a new significance, as a statement setting forth the historical bases, the fundamental principles and the expected achievements of an ideology demanding a world-wide recognition. I am using the word only in this latter sense.
