Islam Appears To Me Like A Perfect

By Imitating The Manners And The Mode Of Life Of The West, The Muslims Are Being Gradually Forced To Adopt The Western Moral Outlook: For The Imitation Of Outward Appearance Leads, By Degrees, To A Corresponding Assimilation Of The World-view Responsible For That Appearance.

We (muslims) Have No Right, In Our Present Misery, To Boast Of Past Glories. But We Must Realise That It Was The Negligence Of The Muslims - And Not Any Deficiency In The Teachings Of Islam - That Caused Our Present Decay.

...i Suddenly Felt In Myself All The Weight Of Europe: The Weight Of Deliberate Purpose In All Our Actions. I Thought To Myself, 'how Difficult It Is For Us To Attain To Reality... We Always Try To Grab It: But It Does Not Like To Be Grabbed. Only Where It Overwhelms Man Does It Surrender Itself To Him.

If The Muslims Keep Their Heads Cool And Accept Progress As A Means And Not An End In Itself, They May Pass On To Western Man The Lost Secret Of Life's Sweetness.

It Was Not Muslims That Had Made Islam Great; It Was Islam That Had Made The Muslims Great.
