Description
In the light of concrete realities, this book focuses, therefore on how, in entering upon the more positive avenues open to them, Muslims may avail themselves of the same kind of opportunities right here in Indian as they would find at any other point on the globe.
Man must run the gauntlet of adversity in this life, for that is in the very nature of things. But repeated emphasis on the darker side of life, with no mention of the brighter prospects ahead can lead only to discouragement, depression and inertia.
The better way to find solutions to the problems besetting us would be to seek out and lay stress on whatever opportunities present themselves, so that those upon whom fortune has not smiled may feel encouraged to take the initiative in improving themselves and their lot in life.
In the light of concrete realities, this book focuses, therefore on how, in entering upon the more positive avenues open to them, Muslims may avail themselves of the same kind of opportunities right here in Indian as they would find at any other point on the globe. For them treading this path is treading the path of wisdom.
