“Reflectioons”, “Shariah the Best Kept Secret” and “I Never Thought About That” is a trilogy directed specifically at the Muslim reader.In life no one can hope to provide us with answers to all our problems. However, if we have certain principles in hand, we can draw upon them to help us formulate and derive answers to every problem that life can throw our way.This is what this trilogy hopes to do. It condenses a world of knowledge into a few distinct “truths”, though not exhaustive, which cuts across all spheres of life. It is presented as a narrative so as not to be boring or prescriptive.Whatever problem may arise, an answer can be found by an application of the principles enunciated in these works.Non- Muslims will be amazed to find that the knowledge shared here is applicable to everyone, including themselves, though a willingness to benefit from these prerequisites that one submits totally and exclusively to the guidance given to us by the Almighty, and to that guidance alone, something which Muslims are already familiar with. Just as assembling a horse drawn carriage with a Ferrari engine and Jumbo Jet aerofoils produces , maybe a work of art, but noting of functional value. So too, in life, success depends on keeping with the pure message and not polluting it with impositions of our own making. Here, as with so much in life, discipline is the deciding factor, not education or intelligence. O Muslim, see your teachings from a practical perspective to allow it to give meaning to your life, and may it spur you to undreamed of greatness.
