In this volume, an essential feature\u003cbr\u003e of Prophet Muḥammad's message of God-centricity is propounded, namely\u003cbr\u003e the spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning. This feature is quintessentially\u003cbr\u003e the definition of what it is to be human. The history of humanity\u003cbr\u003e has been punctuated by waves of progression and regression, both of which\u003cbr\u003e are the effects of either the presence or absence of the spirit of sincere inquiry\u003cbr\u003e and continual learning within individuals, communities and societies. Today, \u003cbr\u003e there is no facet of life in which this spirit is lacking more than in the realm\u003cbr\u003e of religion. Paradoxically, Prophet Muḥammad taught that genuine inquiry in\u003cbr\u003e every aspect of life is intrinsic to the Godly life - it is inherent in the process of\u003cbr\u003e becoming God-conscious (\u003cem\u003emuttaqī\u003c\/em\u003e). Fundamental to this process is the questioning\u003cbr\u003e of theological assumptions of religion that prevail in the culture that\u003cbr\u003e one is born into. This book endeavours to convey the necessity for every Muslim\u003cbr\u003e today to initiate sincere religious inquiry and to take the reader through\u003cbr\u003e an analysis of current prevailing Muslim theological assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbdul Hussain, Arif:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Shaykh Arif Abdul Hussain (born 29 February 1964) is an Islamic scholar and the founder of the Al-Mahdi Institute.
