ISLAM IS ON THE MARCH

THE GLORIOUS MARCH OF ISLAM
The ideas that inspired the French Revolution and the Declaration of Rights that guided the framing of the American Constitution and inflamed the struggle for independence in the Latin American countries [and elsewhere] were not inventions of the West. They find their ultimate inspiration and source in the Holy Koran.
- “Making of Humanity” by Robert Briffault
Sometimes people wonder if Islam has run its course. The bullet has been fired. What remains is just the empty barrel. This is a dangerously false assumption. Dangerous because it deprives humanity of the only hope it has. An examination of history bears out the fact that Islam has not failed, Muslims have. And Muslims have failed because they abandoned the Quran in favor of manmade books written centuries later! The moment they return to the Book, the Muslims will attain their lost glory. Or, whichever nation for that matter, embraces the Quran will establish the ideal state on the planet. Let us recall what George Bernard Shaw had said, “Mohammad, the wonderful man - in my opinion he must be called the Savior of humanity.” — “I predict that tomorrow’s Europe will embrace Islam.” Thus, the exalted Messenger will prove to be the Savior of humanity as he did 14 centuries ago. His sublime Message is perfectly alive and well. The Divine Laws are not biased for or against any group of people. Any nation that adopts them reaps the harvest.
As we have discussed, all universe and our own planet have been created as parts of a Master Plan. They will keep moving to their appointed destinations. Likewise, the human civilization has been evolving throughout history. When the humans follow Divine Revelation, times are shortened and emergent evolutions take place. What would otherwise take centuries by trial and error, can materialize in years. In Sir Iqbal’s words, “Revelation economizes human effort.”
Without the benefit of the Quranic Light the world is still moving, though slowly, toward its destination of unity of mankind. Who is not aware of “globalization and the global village”? Evolution of the human civilization is taking place. Islam is on the march.
Now let us examine a few glittering examples from history and see how correct Robert Briffault is in his observations and conclusions. It is interesting to note that Aristotle had pointed out 2,500 years ago, “A time will come when human ways will coincide with Divine ways.”
