	Religion and Peace by Naseer Ahmad Faruqui Sahib
		All religions in their pristine form admonished man to hold the correct balance between the two opposite forces within him, to let the spirit prevail over the body but not so as to kill it, only to subjugate it.
		Religion comes to the rescue of mankind by telling it that there is a God Who created this marvellous universe, this marvellous earth, the marvel of man himself; that there is a purpose in all these wonderful creations.
		The religion I have the honour to belong to is Islam.
