unless they themselves show a will for change" (The Holy Koran, XIII:11). How can we influence the future of the world? When and how will peace, tranquillity and well-being for all come about? These are the fundamental questions before us. We believe that a sustainable order - in which peace and tranquillity can flourish - can be realized only on the basis of the two pillars of justice and spirituality. The more human society departs from justice and spirituality, the greater the insecurity it will face, so much so that a relatively small crisis - such as a natural disaster - can lead to various aberrations and inhumane behaviour. Unfortunately, the world is rife with discrimination and poverty. Discrimination produces hatred, war and terrorism. They all share the common root of a lack of spirituality coupled with injustice. Justice is about equal rights; the equitable distribution of resources in the territories of different States; the equality of all before the law; and respect for international agreements. Justice recognizes the right of all to tranquillity, peace and a dignified life.
