ABSTRACT
The need of the nations for reformation was one which they all shared, so God made the mission-message of the final Prophet universal. Even so the intelligent observer of human events is left in utter amazement at the way in which Islam gathered the whole of the Arab nation from end to end into its allegiance in less than thirty years, and then embraced other nations from the western ocean to the borders of China in less than one century. Islam lightened the heavy burden of tribute payment and restored plundered property to its owners and dispossessed those who had extorted their unlawful gains. It gave equality before the law to Muslim and non-Muslim. The speed of Islam’s expansion and the welcome men of every community gave to its doctrine derived from the ease with which it could be understood, the simplicity of its principles and the justice of its laws.
