“Islam did not seem to be so much a religion in the popular sense of the word as, rather, a way of life; not so much a system of theology as a programme of personal and social behaviour based on the consciousness of God.

No original, inherited sin stood between the individual and his destiny - for, nothing shall be attributed to man but what he himself has striven for.”
― Muhammad Asad, The Road To Mecca
