The problems and challenges of the twenty-fmt century will force worldreligions to play a more meaningful role in society and civilization. Bysubjecting human reason to transcendental truths and spiritual guidance,religion serves a~ a powerful molder of wholesome, balanced and coherentpersonality, culture and civilization. Legislation alone is inadequate tocombat the serious moral corruption in institutions and systems. The statewill also have to make room for the expansion of religlon-based ethics andspiritual values into business, international trade, media, judiciary andpolitics. The continued separation of spiritual values from worldly affairsis not only untenable from a holistic perspective of man but wouldultimately be dhtrous to human civilization. A pervasive ethicalconsciousness, engendered by a tawhidic worldview, is greatly needed apanacea to the crisis of contemporary society.
