ISLAM is the importance of the idea of UNITY.  ISLAM is emphatically monotheistic :the ones
of ALLAH is the overriding spiritual principle
In this book he added that the PROPHET (S.A.W) said :
“The kindness is not to be found in anything but
that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn
from anything but it makes it defective”
