The miracle of Syed Abul A'la Maududi's writings is that they not only show the path of truth but also ignite a passion to walk upon it—and to lead others along that path. These writings are not bound to any sect or denomination; they are a pure and unadulterated call to Islam.
The godless civilization of the developed West has led individuals toward materialism and isolation, while also entangling them in countless social problems. The growing rate of suicides and conversions to Islam in the restless West are living, undeniable proofs of the instability of Western civilization and the truth of Islam.
In his writings, Maududi (RA) invites Muslims—who are often awestruck by the glamour of the godless Western culture—to adopt the natural and dignified civilization of Islam, which once ruled the world for over a thousand years. He also emphasizes that the progress of Muslim societies, disheartened by decline and deterioration, cannot come through imitation of others, but only through embracing the golden principles of Islam.
To establish and preserve their identity among the nations of the world, the Muslim Ummah must return to the embrace of Islam. While benefiting from modern knowledge is a necessity of the times, blind imitation and servitude to others will ultimately lead to destruction.
