The Blow of Moses

Aptly subtitled "a declaration of war against the present age", the seventh book can be read like a do-it-yourself kit for transforming the world according to the spiritual vision witnessed in Javid Nama. The first five sections respectively alter the general perceptions about (a) Islam and the Muslim; (b) Education and Training; (c) Woman; (d) Art and Literature; and (e) Politics of East and West. The last section consists of 20 dramatic monologues of a fictitious character Mihrab Gul Afghan, apparently a thinking person from the tribal areas of Pakistan or Afghanistan who is about to become internally displaced for opposing Western imperialism.
