'Living Islam' - treading the path of the ideal - Goodword Books, New Delhi, 1998.

This book was written for Muslim readers rather than a general readership. It examines the social aspects of Islam, clearly outlining the aims and duties of every Muslim in respect of vital issues in Islamic life and conduct – including human rights, the sanctity of life, women’s rights, the duties of the Muslim in the workplace, the family, sexual relationships, social issues, ‘green’ issues, and the true meaning of jihad. Full reference is made in each chapter to the relevant passages of Qur’an and hadiths. A major benefit of this book is the comprehensive nature of the references to the authentic hadiths. The aim is to show how Muslims strive to bring God-consciousness into every aspect of their daily lives, from the important and profound to the mundane and simple tasks; and how, in this devotion and urge to serve, striving for the pleasure of their Lord, they find fulfillment and happiness.

ISBN: 81 85063 27 3. 312pp.
