Islam and the Modern man

In the book entitled Islam and the Modern Man, the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that the problems that confront man in the present age can all be traced, directly or indirectly, to one underlying cause: the separation of man from God. In the modern age, man has acquired many material comforts, but he has lost his faith in God. The greatest asset that Islam has to offer man today is this belief in God. Islam has preserved the true concept of God in its pure and complete form. All religions originally preached the true concept of God, but as time passed, none of them were able to preserve the concept of God in its original form. Some groups turned God into a national fetish. Others took to worshipping things other than God. Thus, no religion remained capable of offering a true picture of God. The greatest asset that Islam has to offer man today is this belief in God. It is, therefore, Islam that can help the modern man find the God he so desperately needs.
