520			_aThe bok aims to define the essential nature of Islam: not merely as a community or heritage, but as a complete faith and way of life based on submission to Allah. Nomani emphasizes that Islam is the religion of all prophets, tied to belief (iman), worship (ibadat), and moral conduct. He discusses core concepts such as the meaning of Islam, the necessity of belief, the role of practices like prayer and charity, and the spiritual and ethical dimensions expected of a Muslim. The book challenges superficial or cultural understandings and urges an authentic, living faith.
