Abstract
The Holy Quran has preserved one of the most instructive and important prayers of Syedina H. Ibrahim (PBUH). This prayer of the Prophet, I presume, might have saved him and his Ummah, with the grace of God, from such calamities. But the Ummah of his grand-son Muhammad (PBUH), however, seems to have suffered from this grave calamity. The Muslims, in all probability, have lost faith in their faith under the cultural invasions of some of the most powerful civilizations of the world, such as, the Greek, the Persian, the Judao- Christian Western Civilization and more so by their own negligence of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet. This psycho-moral and religious background prompted some of the best minds of the Muslim World to initiate their reform movements for the revival of the fundamentals of Islam and purge it of all alien and paganistic elements that have apparently sapped the very fabric and foundations of Islam. Sh. Muhammad Fatehullah Gullen, in my dispassionate assessment, is one of the most perceptive mind, a towering personality, a living legend, a vibrant heart and a committed reformer who has devoted his time and talent to the same cause, that is, to resurrect and rediscover Islam and purge it of all Un-Islamic elements, innovations and distortions. Readings of some of his works have left an indelible impression on my mind and I find him truly standing in the company of some of the best minds of the Sub-continent, such as, Sh. Ahmad Sirhindi, Shah Waliullah, Allam Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, Maulana Maududi and others. In this brief write-up my intentions are to present a brief critique/review of his book: Taqdir in the light of the Quran and Sunnah (of the Prophet).
