A thinker has said, ‘A smattering of knowledge turns people away from God, while greater knowledge brings them back to Him.’ In the book In Search of God, the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan concludes by examining various theories that the choice humanity have is not between the universe with God and the Universe without God. The real option is between the Universe with God and no Universe at all. Therefore, humanity is compelled to opt for the proposition of the Universe with God.

In this book Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains the role of Islam in history. Elaborating on the issue, he writes that in the wake of the revolution in the first phase of Islam, religious freedom took a decisive course in history, spurred on in the initial stages by Muslim action. And in later stages it was activated by the participation of non-Muslim nations. This took place in the first half of the twentieth century, firstly through the League of Nations and later through the United Nations, when all the nations of the world unanimously declared that religious freedom was a fundamental right for all and could not under any circumstances be abrogated.

The theme of this book is evident from its title: Islam Rediscovered: Discovering Islam from its Original Sources. Its purpose, according to the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, is to present Islam as it is, drawing on its original sources rather than judging it by the later day interpretations and commentaries or the practices of present day Muslims in different parts of the world. A distinction is made between Islam as presented by Prophet Muhammad and his Companions (information about which is available to us in the Quran and the Sunnah) and Islam as represented by later Muslim generations—both in theory and practice. This is called the scientific approach. Using this approach one can rediscover Islam from its original sources.
