Pathway to Light

The authors of “Pathway to Light” need to be commended
for this production. At a time when time has become such
a precious commodity, this resource which succinctly
conveys the essence of Islam will very quickly clear any
misconceptions that non-muslims have about our faith.
“Pathway to Light” is written in a simple intelligible way. It
is neither esoteric nor pedantic. A reading will convey to
the uninitiated the rich tapestry of Islam. Besides making
compelling reading, hopefully it will stimulate the interest
of the reader. “Pathway to Light” in many ways could be
regarded as a quick overview of the Quran.
For the Muslim, “Pathway to Light” summarises beautifully
the tenets of faith. It does not pretend to be exhaustive
and as the title suggests it is a means to an end …indeed
a pathway. It is not fortuitous that the first ayah to be
revealed is Iqra. This noble habit has sadly been forsaken. It
is indeed a sad indictment on our community that many of
us have a limited understanding of our faith and its finest
exemplar, our beloved Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).It is my
prayer that “Pathway to Light” will rekindle our passion and
need I say obligation to pursue knowledge relentlessly.
I recommend very strongly that institutions like the Muslim
Schools should make “Pathway to Light” compulsory
reading for their learners.
