The Need to Change Muslim Policy

CONTENTMENT: THE SECRET TO SUCCESS 2. A Half Message: The message sent by Mr. Izetbegovic was incomplete. Because of this, it could not be accepted by anyone. In its current form, Izetbegovic’s message reflects helplessness. And no Muslim would be willing to pursue any policy based on helplessness. Izetbegovic should seek a peaceful method of action instead of an armed one. Once he does that, his message will become acceptable to people. 3. The Attitude in Muslim Conferences: After reviewing the proceedings of the Makkah conference, it is clear that all the Muslim speakers there only spoke the language of complaint and protest. They delivered speeches about problems. This is the condition of all Muslim conferences nowadays. At every conference, there is only loud mention of problems. This mindset among scholars and intellectuals has made all Muslim conferences of the present age completely unproductive. The purpose of a conference should be to identify opportunities positively, not to loudly complain about problems. In the words of the Quran, it is about finding ease within hardship. When the Prophet of Islam migrated from Makkah to Madinah in the thirteenth year of prophethood, he arrived there after overcoming numerous difficulties. Upon reaching Madinah, the first sermon he delivered to the people is recorded by Ibn Hisham under the title: “The First Sermon of the Prophet in Madinah”
