Kochi: Islam is the complete way of life and its bases are the Qur’an and the deeds of the Prophet, said Sheikh Muhammed Karakunnu, director of the Dialogue Centre, Kerala. He was inaugurating the open forum at the Dhisha Islamic Exhibition held at Thrissur.
Islam teaches that the life on earth is momentary and that the life hereafter is unending. A social order is setup focusing on individual as well as social life. Islam has presented even a political system. Islam’s is the spiritual system that includes all these, Sheikh said.

He said that the laws in Islam are part of the faith. It controls man. It controls the consumerist nature of man and has laws even for the protection of nature. Had material thoughts been able to provide peace of mind, several modern thinkers and writers would not have been affected by depression. Only spiritual thoughts and beliefs can give peace of mind, he added.
