In the book The Spirit of Islam: Understanding the Spiritual Essence of the Teachings of Islam, the author, explains that people generally discuss the outward forms of various religious rites with reference to Islam. In the present book, the author expounds on the spirit of Islam. Every form, activity, belief and teaching of Islam is aimed at inculcating God-consciousness in a believer, well-wishing towards their fellow men and above all constant self-introspection. The book offers an insight into the believer’s mindset as he proceeds along the journey of life. He faces numerous kinds of situations, such as unpleasant behaviour from others, experiences of success and failure, moments of complaint and bitterness, and so on. Throughout, the author enlightens us on the believer’s response which is determined by a heightened awareness of being ultimately accountable before God. He, therefore, cannot afford to debase his character. He is extremely cautious in his speech and actions, which fosters the development of noble virtues. He becomes a very responsible person. The author lays great emphasis on spiritual development and purification of the soul, the most valuable assets in the life Hereafter.
