Presenting the Ideology of Peace

English book, p. 72

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

I said that the Islam that prevails among Muslims today is not in the form of a Divine way of life but, instead, it is a part of the culture, as with other peoples. Nowadays, religious activities appear to be happening among various religious groups, but these are cultural activities, not religious in the true sense. On 14th October evening, a session was held with detailed discussions. An Indian companion of mine later told me that I had spoken for 1½ hour continuously in English and that he listened to me in amazement. He thought it strange and a great blessing of God that I, being a maulvi (Muslim scholar), spoke with such clarity in front of an English-knowing audience about Islam and Muslims.
