3. ISLAM IS THE VOICE OF HUMAN NATURE

~ 78 ~ – it is a prelude to the attainment of God, exhorting us to strive with all our might to tread the path of righteousness. It warns man that Satan is his archenemy and that he should never allow him to draw near. It conveys the message that if we are anxious to receive the bounties of God, we should be ready to sacrifice our lives and property for His sake. A grand demonstration of the equality of man, it provides a situation in which being able to bear the disagreeable behaviour of others, and living together in an atmosphere of amity and goodwill, are of paramount importance. Hajj, in a nutshell, is a complete mode of worship which, if performed in the correct manner, will have a transfiguring effect upon the moral aspects of the affairs of man, be they worldly or religious in nature.
