Present the cause to them through argument yet more sound" (Qur'an 16: 125). Da'wah is the fulfilment of this commandment "to call men unto the path of Allah." Besides, it is the effort by the Muslim to enable other men to share and benefit from the supreme vision, the religious truth, which he has appropriated. In this respect it is rationally necessary, for truth wants to be known. It exerts pressure on the knower to share his vision of it with his peers. Since religious truth is not only theoretical, but also axiological and practical, the man of religion is doubly urged to take his discovery to other men.

Indeed, I was most privileged to have been given the opportunity of knowing him personally, as a leading scholar of his generation and as a friend. To be sure, he exacted uncompromising intellectual standards and lived by a strict regiment of academic discipline. But, at the same time, he was never lost in mere philosophical abstractions. He was acutely conscious of the realities of the time and the condition of the contemporary ummah. In this regard, he exemplified the conjunction between theoretical learning, ilm, and the righteous deeds, amal salih. He devoted the best years of his life, before his death under tragic circumstances, to the upliftment of the ummah, in inspiring and guiding its youth especially.]]> http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/obituary/the-ismail-faruqi-award-presentation-ceremony/feed/ 0 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/obituary/islam-on-its-own-terms-the-contribution-of-ismail-al-faruqi/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/obituary/islam-on-its-own-terms-the-contribution-of-ismail-al-faruqi/#comments Sat, 05 Sep 2009 04:16:28 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/?p=146 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/obituary/islam-on-its-own-terms-the-contribution-of-ismail-al-faruqi/feed/ 0 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-the-tehran-hostages/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-the-tehran-hostages/#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 09:17:26 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/?p=92 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-the-tehran-hostages/feed/ 0 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/the-nation-state-and-social-order-in-the-perspective-of-islam/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/the-nation-state-and-social-order-in-the-perspective-of-islam/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:08:55 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/?p=73 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/the-nation-state-and-social-order-in-the-perspective-of-islam/feed/ 1 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/towards-an-islamic-theory-of-meta-religion/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/towards-an-islamic-theory-of-meta-religion/#comments Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:43:11 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/?p=43 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/towards-an-islamic-theory-of-meta-religion/feed/ 1 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-human-rights/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-human-rights/#comments Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:27:50 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-human-rights/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/islam-and-human-rights/feed/ 1 http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/why-islam/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/why-islam/#comments Mon, 23 Apr 2007 08:25:08 +0000 admin http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/2007/04/23/why-islam/ http://www.ismailfaruqi.com/articles/why-islam/feed/ 3
