The Islamic Concept and Its Characteristics ( Syed Qutb) 

For a number of reasons there is a pressing need to define and elaborate the Islamic paradigm of
thought, that is, to explain for a modern audience the Islamic concept.

The Muslim needs this definition because it provides him with a comprehensive explanation of all that exists, on the basis of which he relates to the world. This explanation brings him closer to an under standing of the great realities that confront him, and of the nature of the relationships and connections that exist among these realities, namely, the reality of the Creator and the reality of the created (the latter including the universe, life, and man), and their mutual relation ships and interconnections.
