In this booklet, the author explains that Islam encourages its followers to live as giver members of society and make positive contribution to people’s lives. The Prophet encouraged independent thinking and research in the domains of human knowledge and worldly progress. This freedom to do scientific pursuit inspired Muslims of the Middle Ages to make remarkable advances in human knowledge. If present Muslims want to receive respect and honour, they too must prove themselves beneficial for humanity. The author also provides guidance for Muslims by reminding them about the prophetic attitude of patience and avoidance of conflict for maintaining harmonious relationships with people of other communities.
