MINHAJ AL QURAN-The Quranic Way
The current treatise Minhajul Qur’an contains its basic concepts and spells out the essence of his thoughts. He was fully aware of the negative influence of Modern Philosophy on the minds of the new generation of Muslim youth and intellectuals. He has shown in plain language the vain effort made by the different schools of Philosophy in a bid to arrive at the Truth. It must be asserted that anyone taking recourse to Philosophy cannot escape scepticism as its natural outcome. Flhe need and reality of Revelation could only be appreciated once this fact is established and accepted. A _Muslim, according to Dr. Faruqi has a three-tier role to play in his life. As an individual his objective is to become a chosen man. Such individuals then qualify to create an ideal society, which provides a platform for a more cultured pursuit of life. lhe objective of such a society is to uphold its high standards for others to follow and to become a dominating influence in the hearts and minds of people worldwide. triumph of the Qyr’anic Way lies in its resilience against all opposition, be it a temporary nuisance or a permanent hostility. Indeed there are times of great despair, but so long as the community produces Muslims of chosen character and conduct, and the ingredients of an ideal society are preserved from fatal damage, even the greatest enemies of this divine programme will eventually see the light of Truth that it radiates.
