BOOK REVIEW

The book starts with the creation plan of God. Without being acquainted with the “Self”, no one will be able to get familiar with the creation plan of God. Man is a unique creation in the entire known universe. Therefore, when the Quran calls human beings as created on the best of mould, this life cannot be without a purpose or meaning.

There may be two factors that make us less serious and even forgetful towards the Hereafter. Firstly, we doubt when we die we will turn to dust and how can we be revived? Secondly, life after death is not visible to us. Our physical body is made up of tiny particles called cells and these cells are continuously destroyed in the course of our daily life. By eating food, we compensate for them and put balance in our bodies. In the course of 10 years, our body cells are completely renewed and the old
