“The Islam I Live
(Sufi Sonnet 1640)
The Islam I live speaks of love,
The Islam I live is gentle as dove.
The Islam I live claims no convert,
The Islam I live warms all in hug.
The Islam I live transcends doctrine,
The Islam I live transcends the mosque.
The Islam I live holds no faith foreign,
The Islam I live finds good in every walk.
The Islam I live is a walking azaan,
living call to tolerance and acceptance.
Muslim poet am I, from the valley of love,
The Islam I live is the end of violence.
The Islam I live is an act of peace,
a promise of love, in a world of malice.”

The moral philosophy imbued with socio-ethical spirit extends the decision horizon of consumers. It encourages the transformation of self-centric self-interest into self-cum-social centric self-interest. The moral injunctions explicitly extol virtuous philanthropy. Finally, by flattening all other basis of distinction except on piety, Islamic values garner contentment whereby, the consumer is asked to avoid envious and conspicuous consumption of luxuries.”
