The Prophet was a spiritual person—not in a mysterious sense, but in a scientific sense, in the Islamic sense. One will discover this if one studies the life of the Prophet of Islam. Once this discovery is made it will give conviction. The inner content of Islam is spirituality. According to the study of Islam spirituality is the gist of Islam, not in a mysterious sense, but in a scientific sense. Some people take Islam as a political system. But this is wrong. Islam is not a political system. It is a spiritual system. Islam begins from spirituality, from spiritual experience. This is the crux of the religion of Islam. All those who take it as a religion of violence in the name of jihad and political revolution do not know anything about Islam.
