"Islam is making progress, as it always does. Yet no-one should assume that our present task is an easy one. Humanity is now being programmed from an

early age by an insistent materialistic culture, driven ultimately by the greed of large corporations, and to join Islam has become a more radical, absolute step than ever before. Yet human nature has not changed, and those religious needs which were so central to the lives of our species for ninety-nine percent of our history have certainly only been suppressed, not removed. Monotheism is the most coherent form of the religious life; and Islam is its purest expression. Given human need, God’s good intentions, and the miraculous preservation of the divine gift, there are immense grounds for optimism."

-Shaykh Abdal-Hakim Murad, Quicunque Vult, or, A teenage journey to Islam
