The Quran, revealed in the 7th century, has been preserved perfectly, providing a reliable source for seekers of truth. As the Quran itself testifies: Do they not ponder on the Quran? If it had been from anyone other than God, they would have found much inconsistency in it. (4: 82) The concept of God, as presented in the Quran, provides the answers to what our earthly life is all about, the creation plan of our Creator for us and what awaits us in the life after death. o According to Islam, men and women are different in role, but equal in respect. “I made a mistake” is only a sentence of four words. However, it is difficult in the present world to find even four people who may utter this line. The only words that exist in the dictionary of the people are “You are at fault”. Their dictionary is empty with the words “I am at fault”. People do not accept their own fault at any cost, even at the cost of truth. Therefore, in trying not to acknowledge their single mistake, they continue to commit lots of mistakes. The beginning of developing a positive personality is acknowledging one’s mistakes. -Excerpt from the book, ‘The Secret of Success’ by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
