Islam and God-Centricity: A Theological Basis for Human Liberation is the first volume in a series that reexamines Islam’s essential message and humanity’s purpose. Drawing on Qur’anic principles and the insights of Islamic sages and mystics, it presents religion as a dynamic, God-centred process of continuous spiritual growth—guiding both individuals and communities toward ever-deepening human flourishing and liberation.

Islam and God-Centricity: Reassessing Fundamental Theological Assumptions explores the Prophet’s call to sincere inquiry and continual learning as central to a God-centred life. Challenging inherited theological assumptions, the book urges Muslims to revive a spirit of thoughtful questioning—presenting genuine inquiry as essential to faith, growth, and true God-consciousness.

Islam and God-Centricity: Examining the Articles of Faith reconsiders the core beliefs of Islam through the Qur’anic vision of human stewardship and growth. It presents the articles of faith not as static doctrines, but as lived values designed to cultivate intellectual, moral, and spiritual potential—serving as catalysts for inner transformation and deepened God-consciousness.

Islam and God-Centricity: Plurality and Mutability of Religion explores the Qur’anic distinction between essence and form, showing how the one divine truth can manifest in multiple, changing expressions. Challenging religious exclusivism, the book revives the Qur’an’s inclusive vision of plurality and the possibility of salvation for all sincere seekers.

Islam and God-Centricity: Discovering God examines the human soul, its true identity, and the path to realising God’s Presence. Exploring the tension between essence and form, it identifies the ego-consciousness as the veil to divine awareness and presents Islamic spirituality as a transformative journey beyond the illusion of “I am the body.”
