A major problem which modern
man faces is that of racism. The materially advanced nations can send man to the
moon but they cannot stop man from hating and fighting his fellow man. Islam,
over the last 1400 years, has shown in practice how racism can be ended. Every
year during the Hajj, the Islamic miracle of real brotherhood of all races and
nations can be seen in action.
The Family:
The family which is the basic unit of civilization is disintegrating in all
western countries. Islam's family system brings into a fine equilibrium the
rights of man, wife, children and relatives. Islam nourishes human
unselfishness, generosity and love in a well organized family system.
Human beings live according to their view of life. The tragedy of secular
societies is that they fail to connect the different aspects of life. The
secular and the religious, the scientific and the spiritual seem to be in
conflict. Islam puts an end to this conflict and brings harmony to man's vision
of life.
Conclusion:
What is the state of the world today? Has man freed himself from all
superstitions, imbecility's and absurd beliefs ? Has he discovered the man from
within himself ? Has he liberated himself from the yoke of worldly tyrants
indulging in the exploitation of man by man ?
If such a millennium has not been achieved despite all developments in science
and technology, then Islam has still a great and glorious part to play.
