INTRODUCTION
Whilst Every Muslim Child and every non-Muslim student of Islam learns the basic tenets of Islam’s Five Pillars, few, if any, non-Muslim scholars—and all too few Muslims—understand that these tenets are not arbitrary religious rites individually collected together by Islamic tradition. Rather, they are a perfect and holistic ‘interlock’ of spiritual practices Divinely-designed to engage human beings as such in all that they are and all that they should—and can, once again—be. In what follows, we will examine what Islam is as such; why it is what it is, and how its different rites are held together—like the invisible string of a perfect pearl necklace—by an underlying single common spiritual idea.
—Ghazi bin Muhammad
