Islam
Islam, in the widest possible sense, stands for the submission, conscious and unconscious, of all “creation” to the guiding, primordial divine Will which has been teleologically directing evolution to culminate in Man who is about to enter the scene for the first time in history. But in a restricted sense, Islam is a grand notion which embraces all monotheistic religions revealed to guide and spur man along the road that leads back to the Lost Paradise where he becomes the worthy inheritor of all the divine attributes of ultimate perfection. As such, Islam stands for all religions which aimed at the same noble ends with means tailored to their respective ages and regions. Yet, in a more restricted sense, Islam denotes the message of Allah to Prophet Muhammad as conveyed in Quran, the last of revealed Scriptures.
It is with this last sense, that we are going to concern ourselves in what follows, and we are going to show how, by appealing to the universal contents of Quran, the New Islamic Mission has succeeded in unmasking the “scientific” stage of “Religion,” or say the Second Message of Islam, which has drawn upon what binds men together, namely the common faculties of heart and mind, and transcend all barriers of creed, sex, races, etc..., to usher in the Age of Man.
