The Ideal Muslim
is about the true Islamic
personality of the Muslim as defined in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Written by Dr.
Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimi (also
the author of the Ideal Muslimah), this book defines the Ideal Muslim as a
man of the highest moral character. This book will play an important role in
directing the Muslim community towards the path of guidance and leadership, thus
becoming a beacon for all mankind.
Islâm
does not concentrate on filling men’s minds with philosophical ideas, or on
excessive dream-like spirituality, or on physical training and perfection, or on
self-serving materialistic philosophies such as exist nowadays in both East and
West. Islâm drew up a balanced, integrated program for man’s development,
taking into account his physical, intellectual and spiritual needs, based on the
sound principle that man is formed of body, mind and soul.
The
Muslim personality is balanced. He pays due attention to his body’s needs and
his outward appearance, without letting it distract him from taking care of the
inner characteristics, as befits man whom Allâh has honored
'For, believers are those who, when Allah is
mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs
rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their
Lord;'
TM Qur'an Al-Anfal
8:2
