THE SUMMATION 

Described above are the main injunctions and guiding lines for the Muslim which, when acted upon, bring grace, peace and happiness, to the individuals as well as to the society. To act upon the Divine laws, is sure to bring fruit. The result may be delayed but it is assured by the Quran. 

Moreover, it must be kept in mind that the object of 'Deen' or the Islamic Way of Life, is to bring about perfect mutual relationship between humanity as a whole. An individual who is regular in prayers, keeps fast and goes for Haj, but at the same time, his dealings are not good with other people, is not a good Muslim, according to the Holy Quran. 

This book deals with matters related to every day life of Muslims. It is not a detailed description of the 'Deen' that was revealed to Muhammad (PBUH). Yet its utility lies in the fact that only those people can become true custodians of an 'Islamic Social Order', who the early part of their life. 

The Creator of the Universe laid down specific patterns for the growth and development of all that exists in nature: 

"Allah has made specific patterns for everything that exists." 

A Mango seed shall always grow into a mango tree and shall bear fruit, which could be nothing else but mango. As the laws of nature as well as the laws revealed to the messengers of Allah originated from the same source, patterns similar to those in nature have been laid down, for the moral and social development of man, in the Holy Quran. That is why the future of a nation depends on the type of upbringing of its younger generation. 

May Allah Almighty bestow the younger generation of Muslims, the inclination and strength to follow the guidance of the Quran so as to make them enter a life of glory and prosperity.
