v  Faith and practice
v  Facets of development
v  Cultural encounters
v Muslims in the modern age
v  Approaches to the Quran
v  Intellectual traditions

These aspects have been covered in four books placed on this post:
1.    In the Presence of the Sacred:        BOOK-1 or UNIT-1
2.    One Earth Many Worlds:      BOOK-2 or UNIT-1
3.    On the Wings of the Word:   BOOK-3 or UNIT-1
4.    Cordova: People, Places and Times:    BOOK-4 or UNIT-1

The reader can click on each of the links given in front of the book and go through the same at his leisure.
People in the West have tried to come up with a new set of beliefs to satiate the need of humans for spirituality; click the link SCIENTOLOGY to see what they are trying.  BBC featured a program on 14th January 2011 which gives the inside story of this cult (Click BBC ). Also compare the practices of this cult with some practices being propogated by a HUNZA based group in the name of sipirituality - that will hopefully give a realistic appraisal of what they stand for.

Quote from page-51 of the book MUHAMMAD - his life based on the earliest sources by Martin Lings (ABU BAKR SIRAJ AD DIN): The Prophet laid his hand on the back of Ali's neck and said:"This is my brother, mine executor and my SUCCESSOR among you. Hearken unto him, and obey him".

I have quoted this as a result of recent discussion showing GHADIR declaration to be the culmination of this declaration of the Prophet in the very beginning of his announcements within the family congregation.

My Dear sir im going through the web site of Scientology !
can we say the practices that the group ppl in Hunza and other part called as Scientology ?
Should we allow to do so what ever they are practicing.
How can we react towards such practices being part of society for peace and betterment of society.

Regards

The purpose of the analogy is to be aware of outward appearance and the real inside story of such cults. The BBC story gives that picture while you can get such pictures from those HUNZUKUTZ who have now distanced themselves.
