Submitters Perspective, December 2006

Faith, belief and action are inseparable, the lead essay argues from the Quran, so that belief without righteous deeds cannot save the soul and preaching what one does not practice is condemned. A reader asks whether following Hadith instead of the Quran has misguided today's Muslims. A short piece on empathy as a path to forgiveness follows, with notice of the 2007 annual conference in Ontario, California.
