A Ten Point Programme for the Islamic World
A Ten Point Programme for the Islamic World
The events and causes of Islamic renaissances stated earlier lead us to the conclusion that the
Muslim society requires, in every age, vigilant, high-reaching, truthful and godly souls who
can heal spirit, create a living awareness of God and bring about the moral regeneration of the
people even in the most trying and adverse circumstances. At a time when Muslim states are
degenerating, the masses are being swept away by materialistic urges and worldly desires,
and a mad race for get-rich-quick has caught the imagination of the people, it becomes all the
more necessary that virtuous and godly people should give the Message of hope to the
despondent, strengthen their Faith in God— His all embracing love as well as His awe—and
make them realise the value of contentment and reliance on God. Such people should reach
others to raise themselves above their petty interests, to disdain wealth and power and to hate
time-serving attitudes that stoop to sell countries and nations for petty personal gain. They
should promote the urge for making sacrifices for the sake of Faith, of laying down one’s life
in the way of God. In this manner, they can usher people groping in the darkness of
hopelessness to the light of God’s Message of hope and Divine succour and cause
degeneration and decaying societies to bring up men who are honest and courageous, able to
shoulder the heaviest responsibility and solve the intricate problems facing the Muslim
society as well as protect Islam and its interests. Such virtuous and God-souled persons
should perform the same function in their own societies as Khwaja Hasan Basri did during
the reign of the Umayyads and al Hafiz Ibn al-Jauzi, Imam Ghazzali and Saiyadna Abdul
Qadir performed during the time of the Abbasids.

God has bestowed numerous bounties upon man and one of these is his capacity to learn from
his past experience. If he strikes his on a path, foot, he tries to find out the cause of it;
removes the stumbling block from his way or deflects his steps to avoid it. But if he finds his
way impassable or littered with similar obstacles ,he takes to another even and straight path.
Whenever he commits a mistake or fails in his venture, he tries to analyse and understand the
cause of his failure. He tries to avoid the mistake once committed so that he does not take the
wrong track again and so come to grief for the second time. Man’s capacity to analyse cause
and effect, to understand the relationship between antecedent and result is undoubtedly a
Divine blessing bestowed upon him alone.
It is this distinctive capacity enjoyed by man which distinguishes him from cattle and beasts
and has been the sole reason for all man’s progress in the arts, sciences, culture and
civilization.
It is not that man never makes a mistake
The Fifteen Century Hijri
The Fifteen Century Hijri
The dawn of the fifteenth century of Hijri today tends its air throughout the world. The Hijri
Calendar began with the migration of the Holy Prophet? Normally, (peace be upon him)
every era is reckoned from the birth or death of any great personality or a victory gained or
the establishment of kingdom.1 It is noteworthy, however, that the Religion of the Prophet
(peace be upon him) was not named after him; rather the name of his Religion speaks of his
Message. Islam is not the name of any person : it means a conscious decision to submit
oneself to God. The same characteristic is to be found in the nomenclature of its Calendar : it
does not begin with the birth of any great personage, not even that of the last Prophet (peace
be upon him) whom Muslims love and revere only next to God.

past who had won the land for Islam. It also meant the invalidation of the labours of Khwaja
Moin Uddin Chisti and his pure hearted disciples who had on the one hand preached the
message of love and humanity and social justice to the people and, on the other, provided
moral and spiritual guidance to rulers to run the country as conscientious, true-hearted and
God-fearing servants of the country. This was not all, for this revolution threatened to destroy
the entire educational system and intellectual fabric of the land which had been laboriously
built up by these men of God.
What happened next? A star rose not from the political or materialistic horizon but from the
celestial skyline of Faith and spirituality which always comes to the aid of falling humanity,
in the person of Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi Mujaddid Alf Thani (971-1034 AH), who was paid a
tribute by Iqbal in these words:
He was the custodian of Millat’s wealth in Ind,
Whom Allah had awakened at high time.
Before Jahangir who refused to bend his neck,
His breath was a touch to the quick.
A New Challenge to ISLAM?
A New Challenge to ISLAM?
Islam has experienced many an apostatic upsurge during the course of its history. The mostpowerful of them was the one that manifested itself among the Arab tribes soon after the
Prophet’s death. By this we mean the mightily rebellious movement that was nipped in the
bud by Caliph Abu Bakr through his matchless courage and strength of will. The then, again,
the second great onslaught of apostasy within Islam was the widespread swing towards
Christianity with the expulsion of the Muslims from Spain. This stole into other countries too
that were then under the demonation of the Western Christian powers, and was actively
supported and encouraged by Christian missionaries. Apart from these well-known episodes,
there are also some stray instances such as that of a few faint-hearted Muslims going over to
some other faith in India. But such cases have been very rare, and the fact is that with the
exception of the large-scale conversion of Muslims to Christianity in Spain, if it can be
described as an apostatic movement, the general opinion of Islamic historians is that the
Muslim millat has never seriously had to encounter a general threat of apostasy
