In the book Dawah: The Mission of the Muslim Ummah, the author Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that today, the Muslim ummah, by and large, is sunk deep in negative thinking. This is only because of its degenerated mindset. In line with its negative thinking, it has wrongly come to think of other communities as enemies. For some Muslims, this view is held at the level of thought, while others, driven by this mindset, are engaged in violence. This is certainly a very dangerous signal, which had been predicted centuries ago by the Prophet.

In the book The Reality of Life, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that man is born with unlimited potential, yet in the present world he finds only a very limited use for it. According to his nature, man wants to live eternally, but very soon, without his leave, death arrives and puts an end to his life. He harbours an ocean of desires in his heart but these dreams are never realized. In this case, there is no difference between a poor man and a rich man. In this book the author explains why man and the present world are so mismatched.

The Quran tells us that there is no compulsion in the matter of religion. (2:256) However this was not the order of the day when Islam came to the world in the 7th century AD. In The Revolutionary Role of Islam, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that Islam came to make this a reality. As such the expansion of the Islamic empire was not simply a political event.

In his book Discover Islam, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan helps the reader to discover the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, the essence of the Quran and the spirit of Islam. It comprises of five sections. Life and Teachings of the Prophet Muhammad explains that the prophet’s life is an embodiment of submission to God, and his actions and teachings are reflections of humbleness, compassion, contemplation and concern for others’ well-being.
