“The Islamic Culture” at a university in Britain, whereupon I saw<br />
that as Europe had suffered the gloom of the Middle Ages, Islam<br />
had shone through the darkness and illuminated everywhere.<br />
Many great explorations had been accomplished by <strong>Muslims</strong>,<br />
Europeans had been taught knowledge, science, medicine and<br />
humanities in the Islamic universities, and numerous world<br />
conquerers had embraced Islam and established great empires.<br />
<strong>Muslims</strong> were not only the founders of a universal civilization, but<br />
also the recoverers of many an ancient civilization devastated by<br />
Christians. When the news of my conversion to Islam got about,<br />
my friends began to remonstrate with me and to accuse me of<br />
retrogression. Each time they did so I answered them with a smile:<br />
“Quite the other way round. Islam is not retrogression. It is the<br />
most advanced civilization.” Sad to say, today’s <strong>Muslims</strong> have<br />
fallen behind. For <strong>Muslims</strong> have been gradually getting less and<br />
less appreciative of their possession of so sublime a religion as<br />
Islam, and more and more negligent in carrying out its<br />
commandments.<br />
The Islamic countries still boast the intact remnants of a warm<br />
hospitality. When you go to a Muslim’s house, he will welcome you<br />
in a balmy air of readiness to help you. For helping others is one of<br />
Islam’s commandments. It is one of the basic Islamic tenets for the<br />
rich to help the poor by giving them a certain percentage of their<br />
wealth. This property does not exist in any other religion. This<br />
comes to mean that Islam is the most, and the only, suitable<br />
religion for the present social life-styles. It is for this reason that<br />
there is no place for Communism in Muslim countries. For Islam<br />
has by far forestalled that social problem by prearranging the most<br />
essential solutions.<br />

I am a naval officer. I spent a major part of my life on the sea.<br />
I served the British navy in the First World War in 1914 and in the<br />
Second World War in 1939.<br />
Even the most perfect tools and machines of the twentieth<br />
century are far below the capacity to resist the terrific forces of<br />
nature. Let me give you a small example: we have no means as yet<br />
to defend ourselves against fog or storms. A warlike situation<br />
