Conclusion
“Today, all barriers are down and the God of Humanity has arrived at the gates of the ruined temple of the tribe” ... These words by the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, represent a sentiment shared by people all over the world.
This sentiment is firmly based on the fact that all physical barriers which used to separate men from each other have been greatly diminished. A very obvious case in point is the barrier of space and time which has almost been totally demolished due to the great technological and scientific advances which produced very high speeds in the fields of communication and telecommunication. Diminishing the effect of the barrier of space and time has resulted in a greater degree of the geographical unification of our planet Earth.
This geographical unification has called for a greater degree of unification in the realms of thought and feeling. The unification in the realms of thought and feeling is also dictated by the need for peace which, as we have mentioned in an earlier section, has become a matter of “life and death.”
The present pamphlet has gone some way towards showing that necessary unification in the realms of thought and feeling can not be achieved by any material philosophy or ideology or by any of the old forms of Religion, including the advanced monotheistic forms, Judaism, Christianity and Islam (the First Message of it). Indeed, the main contention of this pamphlet is that the Second Message of Islam is the only way for achieving that desired kind of unification because it is squarely based on what binds men together, namely for their common faculties of mind and heart.
Also, this pamphlet has broadly outlined how, by evolving Islamic laws from the Medinese to the Meccan level of Quran, the Second Message of Islam paves the way for the construction of a good society where democracy and socialism are reconciled and where social equality prevails. This kind of society, coupled with the individual method of worship summed up in the perfect “imitation of the Prophet”, is what the Second Message of Islam offers as the means for every individual to realize his individuality or, say, his absolute individual freedom.
To conclude, the ability of the Second Message to reconcile democracy with socialism, on the one hand, and its provision of the individual method of worship as a “psychoanalytic therapeutic” technique which enable every individual to be himself, on the other, are what recommend it as the only answer to the problems of modern man and the definite cure to his ills.
Indeed, the Second Message of Islam, which transcends all barriers of creed, sex, race, etc., is destined to create Heaven on Earth and provide for the lawful return of man to his last thrown as Master of the Universe. So with this hopeful note, we close down this pamphlet.
