In the book Man and God, the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that we human beings have a natural yearning to seek our Creator. In the lives we lead, the race toward materialism conceals this longing hidden deep within us. In time, the desire becomes so intense that even after having acquired the luxuries of the world, one ceases to find meaning in them and seeks to know what is beyond all that is apparent. In this book, the author focuses on directing the reader to the Creator by bringing to attention how ordinary, usual events can lead to profound realizations about God. The words of the book, full of spiritual meaning, make the reader feel as if he were gliding through the vast cosmos, beholding God’s creation, and thus have the experience of nearness to God.
