FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Dear Readers,

Greetings of Peace!

Without the help of God, it would not have been possible to complete another year of publication of our magazine Spirit of Islam and start on our third year with this January 2015 issue. Reaching out to others with the message of God about His creation plan has been the mission of the Prophets, and our aim—with this publication—is to follow in their footsteps.

Our magazine aspires to address the individual and the modern mind providing intellectual food for common issues that confront man; issues such as life and death, success and failure, suffering and evil, desire, peace and spirituality, the meaning and purpose of our existence etc. A serious seeker of truth will surely find nourishment through these pages.

Albeit the title of our magazine, the articles are of universal significance and readers will discover unique insights and divine wisdom for life extracted from the scriptures and the teachings of the Prophets.

Promotion of global peace has been the mission of our mentor and Chief Editor, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Peace is an ideology of life and in 2014 we presented a unique series entitled The Culture of Peace. Through the series, From the Spiritual Tree, you shared in his personal spiritual discoveries.

Lessons from the Prophets, has been another feature in our magazine and we brought out several articles providing guidance from their lives. We will continue in the same vein through the coming issues.

Circulation of this magazine has been slowly but surely increasing and many libraries have also subscribed. Thank you, dear readers, for your continued support and encouragement. We welcome and appreciate your feedback. If you approve of this magazine and find it beneficial, kindly share it by spreading the good word.

We wish you all happiness in the year 2015, and present to you the Road to Happiness through Maulana's Desk in the following pages.
