The way forward for the Muslim Ummah

Description

The Muslim World, as its stands today, is characterized by paradoxes and contradictions. We have Muslim nations that are resource rich but economically poor and weak. Despite the bounty of Allah SWT, the majority of the Muslim masses live in poverty, amidst plenty for a selected few. In the last 100 years, we saw the Muslim Ummah tumble from the heights of the Ottoman Empire to, at one stage, becoming colonial servants of non-Muslim masters. Towards the end of the last century, we did witness the liberation of Muslim countries, one by one, from the shackles of colonialism, culminating in the independence of the Central Asian Muslim Nations. We have seen the gradual economic improvement of some of the Muslim countries, and the dependence of the world on the mineral and natural resources of Muslim nations.
