Preface

This book is written for Muslims who have woken up to the need for Islam, not as a passive force, but an active force that can transform society and deal with the present extreme circumstances of our peoples. It is written for those who seek to understand where we stand in history and how to make a workable and attainable plan to solve the problems that we face today.

This book is not targeted at non-Muslims, "progressive"-style Muslims, or extremists and those who condone violence against innocents. Nor is this book a public relations or propaganda effort intended to showcase Islam before the world. It does not represent an inter-religious dialog or an inter-civilizational one.

The thoughts and ideas expressed here are intended solely for our planning and analysis in dealing with the difficult and extreme circumstances that we Muslims face today. The thoughts and ideas that this book follows are not completely unique or original but represent a synthesis of thought.

The line of thinking that this book follows, as much as this author would wish, is neither completely new nor totally original in all its contents, this line of thinking has been expressed in various forms throughout the Muslim world with increasing frequency over the last couple of hundred years. More specifically, this author's thoughts are built on the foundations of thinkers such as Allama Iqbal, Muhammad Asad and Alija Izetbegovic.

This author respects the views of Abul Ala Maududi but does not necessarily share them in their entirety and rejects outright many points including the use of the present clergy in politics. It is the view of this author that this class is part of the problem and thus cannot be a portion in the solution.
