"HARON YAHYA"S WORKS ARE WELL-READ THROUGH THE WORLD AND MANY PEOPLE ARE MOVED AND HAVE "SURRENDERED TO THE WILL OF GOD""
The world is in the midst of crisis. Human beings are facing multitude of crisis because of their rejection of God and His system. The worldwide socio-economic and environment problems, moral degradation and spiritual crisis are some of the manifestations of the rejection. Ever since science detached itself from the Islamic root and follow the agnostic and atheistic system of the West, it created more problems than benefit. Science with the western perspectives strengthened the ancient Greek doctrine of materialism which led to the formulation of various atheistic philosophies. Human beings were misled into following these philosophies such as utilitarianism, hedonism, individualism, fascism and many others which trapped the people into the endless problems and miseries. Is there any glimpse of hope that humanity could be saved from the oblivion? Yes if human being accepts God and His system.
Haron Yahya"s works have contributed
to this glimpse of hope for the salvation of humanity. Haron"s works are well-read through the world and many people are moved and have "surrendered to the will of God". The books on science and the Quran and other related topics written by Haron have demolished the notion that empiricism is the only trustworthy and believable source of knowledge. The Qur"an which ever since its revelation has "mesmerized" multitude of people, such as al-Walid bin Mughairah, the Arabian noble laureate, and Omar Khattab, for its language, eloquence, and yet again at this modern age, the Qur"an has shown its miracles in terms of science. Haron"s work in this topic is very much commendable and should be read by those who aspire to know Islam and its teaching.
