Islam at the Crossroads

The crisis in Islam today and the solution offered by the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh

‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’ ⏤ Jeremiah

Islam at the Crossroads presents extracts drawn primarily from the texts of the Qur’án and the Bible to explain the interrelationship between Islam and its sister Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Christianity, as well as the Bahá’í Faith, the most recent link in the chain of religions capable of responding to the process of transformation in which the entire world is today caught up.

The crisis in Islam today and the solution offered by the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh

‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’ ⏤ Jeremiah

The format illustrates the progressive pattern and integral coherence of the divine Revelations as constituents of one common faith, and demonstrates the principle that ‘God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us,’ and, specifically, to followers of Islam, through Bahá’u’lláh.
