In the present book, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that nature demands that men and women lead their lives together within the bonds of marriage. In Islam, marriage is both a civil contract entered upon by mutual consent of the bride and the groom, and a highly sacred bond to which great religious and social importance is attached. As an institution, it is a cohesive force in society. In this book Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that while marriage is the rule of life, divorce is only an exception, but it must also be accepted as a reality. Although Islam permits divorce, it lays great emphasis on its being a concession, and a measure to be resorted to only when there is no alternative. Seeing it in this light, Prophet Muhammad said, “Of all things permitted, divorce is the most hateful in the sight of God.” (Abu Dawud, Sunan, Kitab at-Talaq, 2/255.)

In the present book, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that conversion is a universal and inescapable law of nature. A study of psychology and history tells us that, in order to give a new impetus to an individual or a group and to bring about a moral and intellectual revolution, what is most effective is the sense of discovery. This feeling of having discovered some truth, which was unknown, awakens all the dormant powers of the individual. This feeling turns an ordinary man into a superman. It is such supermen who cross the oceans, who scale mountains and who by their heroic character cause history to enter a new age. Today, human history is once again facing a deadlock. History is once again in need of people who pass through this experience of a discovery. For it is such people, charged with new spiritual power, who will give a strong push to human history to enter a new and a better age.

Dawah Made Simple is an easy to understand pocket reference book which gives an introduction to Islam. Most importantly, it explains the spirit of dawah, with its special focus on prayer and devotion, peace and spirituality and nearness to God. It explains that dawah is an obligatory duty of the believers. Calling people to God is to convey the message of God to those who are still unaware of it. From the viewpoint of real status, a Muslim is a dayee and all other nations are his madu. That is to say that God has made the Muslims the trustee of His final book, the Quran. Now it is their responsibility to convey the message of this book to all humanity. The success of both the worlds, the present world and the hereafter, lies in fulfilling this duty.

In the book Dawah: The Mission of the Muslim Ummah, the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that today, the Muslim ummah, by and large, is sunk deep in negative thinking. This is only because of its degenerated mindset. In line with its negative thinking, it has wrongly come to think of other communities as enemies. For some Muslims, this view is held at the level of thought, while others, driven by this mindset, are engaged in violence. This is certainly a very dangerous signal, which had been predicted centuries ago by the Prophet. The author elaborates, that today, it has become a duty binding on Muslims to develop positive thinking. They must completely stop thinking of other communities as their enemies. They must be reminded of the fact that their status is not that of a community, but, rather, that of an ideological group, one that has just one mission—and that is, peaceful dawah, or calling people towards God. They must engage in this task with unilateral well-wishing for others. They must completely renounce violence, and, instead, get engaged in peaceful dawah work. This is the only way that can make them deserving of God’s blessings.

In the present book, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that God and the Hereafter relate apparently to the unseen world. But the truth is that they are an essential part of human life. God and the Hereafter are known truths innate in man. There are two levels of God realization—the rational and the natural. Believing in the existence of God and the Hereafter at a rational level is only the initial stage of this realization, whereas believing in God and the Hereafter at a natural level is its ultimate stage. Every human being has the vision to comprehend God and the Hereafter, but these matters are obscured by conditioning. The task of logical argument is to break down this conditioning, or mental block, and thus remove the artificial screen from the eye of nature. Then nothing can come in the way of “seeing” God and the Hereafter. Now man is fully convinced of the invisible existence of God, just as a child is fully convinced of the existence of his mother, although he has never seen himself being born of his mother.
