The Revolutionary Role of Islam

from one another that there is no thick or thin veil in between: the task of clarification has been performed so thoroughly that the man of today has total freedom of choice. Now in his journey towards God, man is hindered neither by false ideologies nor by practical barriers. The Role of Non-Muslims in Islamic Development I slam is the religion of Nature, and in treading its path; it is non-discriminatory, finding room within its scheme of things for every segment of society. Rigidity is quite alien to its process of development. There is a meaningful Hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari to this effect. According to this Hadith, Prophet Muhammad e, may peace be upon him, said: “God Almighty will strengthen this religion [Islam] through a fajir (one who is not a true Muslim) person as well.” (Bukhari) This is a very important declaration because in this world, any natural process begins with the involvement of different elements—as happened in the case of Islam. Humanity as a whole is an interdependent body and Islam is not an exception.
