Change, development and progress, according to the Islamic viewpoint, refer to the return to the genuine Islam enunciated and practised by the Holy Prophet (may God bless and give him Peace! ) and his noble Companions and their Followers (blessing and peace be upon them all! ) and the faith and practice of genuine Muslims after them; and they also refer to the self and mean its return to its original nature and religion (Islam).

About This Quote

Change can bring about positive changes in both our lives and religion. The Islamic viewpoint on change is that it is not permissible in the case of Islam. A person who practices Islam, or who is born into it, must remain that way throughout his life. Islam is not just a set of rituals to be followed in order to get into heaven, but is rather a genuine faith which must be followed with ‘Umar’s statement in mind: "Islam is the true religion."
