Bismillah Reviving The Qur'an and Sunnah with Imam Yaqub Islam

We can come straight from Qur'an and Sunnah. But when we do that, we miss a big audience, because there are only a few American Christians and others who will have patience with us coming straight from Qur'an and Sunnah, unless they are doing it as researchers or students. They are afraid that we will try to convert them, when some of us may not have that at all in our hearts as a goal. We might simply be trying to share with our fellow believers in God, the blessings of our religion that is needed in their lives in this time of decadence.

Getting back to a knowledge of the self, and questions of human behavior, and how to develop a speech, and the problem of relying too much on myself, and the books of scholarly authors and not going, as I should have been, to Qur'an and Sunnah.

I came to see that really Qur'an gives us (in the best way), teachings on the problems of self, the nature of self, and the tendencies of self and the behavior in circumstances that make trouble for us and unseat the government of self, and deprives us of a good life.

In the Qur'an, Allah Most High says that He has created the human being in the most excellent mold. And Allah says, he is blessed and successful who spends on his own soul. And he is lost who discredits, and debases his own soul.
