Islam provides definite guidelines for all people to follow in all walks of
life. The guidance it gives is comprehensive and includes the social, economic,
political, moral and spiritual aspects of life. The Qur'an reminds man of the
purpose of life on earth, and his duties and obligations towards himself, his
kith and kin, his community, his fellow human beings and his Creator. Man is
given fundamental guidelines about a purposeful life and then he is left with
the challenge of human existence before him so that he might put these high
ideals into practice. In Islam man is a wholesome, intergrated unit and not a
collection of fragmented, competitive parts. The sacred and secular are not
seperate parts of man; they are united in the nature of human being.
