In the book entitled The Seeker’s Guide, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, refers to a tradition of Prophet Muhammad given in Sunan Abu Dawood that states: “The remedy for ignorance is asking questions.” He explains that the modern age has brought with it a new era, an era where, fueled by curiosity, we find ourselves on a never-ending quest for answers and knowledge and one where confidence in reason prevails over the antiquated ways of superstition. In this era, a questioning mind is like a flowing river that is replenished with fresh thoughts and ideas and continues on its journey. This is the idea that has motivated this compilation of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan’s answers to various questions people have asked him. Seekers of knowledge, students, scholars and people in general can use this book for their intellectual development. It will acquaint them with Maulana’s perspective on critical matters relating to religion, the nation and the world and how to deal with the situations they face on a daily basis in a practical way.
