In our country nothing moves in the right direction. “Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, and religions destroy spirituality”.; title: In agonizing pain, with anguish and angst, we weep and cry for the beauty that is gone. This beauty was the beauty of our heart, the galaxy of our imagination, the focus of our love and devotion—the country we had created and cherished. It could have become the rhyme and rhythm of our breathing, the darling of our destiny if we had nourished and nurtured it properly. But left to the tyranny of the rulers and terror of the terrorists we are left with no option but to shed tears and weep on the fragments that are shattered, and cry on the beauty that is gone.; title: Since it is a huge loss – a loss that the author of this book alone cannot bear, we are submitting it to our readers who might share it with us. The loss is stupendous and the juncture is crucial. We must explain the decaying dimensions to our countrymen, both in the streets and the corridors of power, so that collective efforts re made to repair the damage. This is a serious attempt to shaken the sleeping segments of our society –a society that has gone deep into the abyss of decadence and degeneration. It is a drive to create consciousness and creativity, to sustain the moral and intellectual survival of the nation. It is the vision that invigorates the imagination and illuminates the path into wilderness.  However, we have exposed the dimensions which need action and imagination. The resources have to be explored and exploited to facilitate the journey into wilderness. Later in this narrative we will move to explain how history can be written and how destiny is defined.; title: This is not only our humble submission, but a serious mission that must be activated to sustain the saplings in the wilderness. We have written the above book to warn our people of the oncoming doom. They must realize the gravity and rise to thwart the crumbling dimensions from further collapse; otherwise the entire land may be reduced to the drums of fodder for dogs and wolves. A constructive and creative response is the minimum that we expect from you. This is the first step to restore the beauty that has gone away from the façade of our country.  If you remain silent then your silence will be more fatal than the onslaughts of enemies.; title: Dr.IQBAL SYED HUSSAIN; title: University of Cambridge, UK; title: Humanity International; title: E-Mail: Iqbalsyed2000yahoo.co.uk; title: Www. Modernislamicstudies.org; title: It is not in our stars that we are underlings…; title: “The DECLINE OF THE MUSLIM UMMAH”; title: Dr. IQBAL S. HUSSAIN; title: It is almost 1000 years since Muslims have been in decline. This long period is a sordid tale of infirmities and deficiencies, sorrows and sufferings that has been discussed in this book. It is a gateway to sad reflection and crude awakening. Such a venture was the need of the hour for long time, which has been undertaken now with the hope that it will awaken the Muslim Ummah and accelerate the quest for ideals that have been abandoned over the past centuries.; title: However, scanning such a long history is not an easy task. I have made a modest attempt to examine the awestruck details with a view to creating awareness and renaissance so that Muslims could realize the goals that they have consigned to oblivion. Extremism and dogmatism are the main deficiencies which hinder the process of awakening, and progress. These deficiencies have deprived the Muslims of dignity and ascendancy. In this book I have tried to illustrate how centuries have been wasted to the tune of transitory flirtations and the perspectives have been consigned to the debris of decadence and degeneration.; title: Ignorance and intolerance are the malicious manifestations of a way of life that hardly relates to the realities of Islam. The humane and creative values of Islam are scarcely seen to stimulate the lives of Muslims. The cobweb of confusion and delusion appears with its tentacles to further corrode the superstructure of culture and civilization that once was the glory of Islam. These old frustrations and fresh aspirations are the recurring themes of this book. They indicate vividly the “practical expression of necessity” which is intimately linked to the consciousness of imperatives. The horizons are wide enough but rather bleak. The course of reflection and contemplation is the ultimate outcome that must emerge from such a source of study and inspiration. It involves an intense process of soul searching and introspection. This must be the tool of intellectual renovation and spiritual elevation if we as Muslims have to carve out a destiny that must accomplish the purpose of our creation. This is how Muslims can be rescued from the abyss of stagnation and degeneration, bondage and decadence. It is only then that we can hope to reach the babbling brooks that swing with the melodies of music and songs of spring.; title: For more details please contact: HUMANITY International Iqbalsyed2000@yahoo.co.uk 055-3842583   Cell: 0300-7792452; title: www.modernislamicstudies.org; title: THE MUSLIM DELUSION; title: Dr.Iqbal Syed Hussain; title: In the 21st century when the world is moving fast and some nations have already reached the stars, Muslims remain far from the horizons. Decadence, illiteracy and orthodoxy are the pronounced facets of the current Muslim culture. Deluded by their fantasies they are entrenched in the tentacles of illusions, vanities and misconceptions. Illiteracy, sectarian strife, and misconceived perceptions have further added to their despair. The delusion that besets the Muslim mind represents a deep psychological betrayal that leaves severe scars on the body politic of the Muslim Ummah. It is a period of anguish, despair and delusion, which many Muslims fail to recognize and address. They brush aside the realities by declaring that they are the darlings of God and everything will be resolved in their favour.; title: The issues are varied and the situations are challenging. Muslims are entrapped in the cobweb of their fantasies and imaginations. Divisive forces are rampant creating confusion and delusion. This is from this premise that we have to take a start and pursue our quest for truth and insight. We have to see where we are wrong and how delusions and dogmatism have undermined the course of realistic action.; title: The Muslim delusion based on past achievements is not likely to play any significant role in the transformation of our destiny. Muslims in general live in past glory, relish in self-delusion, and waste time in divisive and contradictory controversies. They have a grandeur story to tell and a phony dialectic to inject. Their interpretation of history is self-delusional and their objectives are confounded in confusion and conflicts. The conditions have changed but they are not ready to come out of their caves of illusions and self-centered delusion. Like blind men in the swarthy alleys they appear to be groping without realizing any concrete objectives. Intolerance, violence and orthodoxy are the banalities that have to be removed and unnecessary links between religion and extremism have to be smashed to reinstate balance and affinity in our attitudes. Instead of delusion and deviations humanity and creativity must be the focal points of Muslim ingenuity.; title: Muslims might raise loud slogans, but the world will not believe them unless they come forward with more realistic and pragmatic policies to change their conditions. A vacuum of purpose and perception would not be helpful in fostering the plans we may need for our well-being. Without change we cannot reach our destination. This is a reality which has to be reckoned, and this is what we make clear in this book.; title: The book is the latest in our series which we have reconstructed to create a “constructive consciousness” among the Muslims who have become exceedingly indolent and oblivious of the meanings and purpose of life.; title: The first edition of this book was published in October, 2010, by the Higher Education Commission, Islamabad, intended to be incorporated in the university curriculum for postgraduate studies. The demand for the book was so huge that all copies of the book were consumed within a few months and now we have produced the second, revised edition for both the students and general readership. This edition has been updated with latest developments which will be exceedingly useful for both the students and general readers. In view of this venture we have no hesitation to assert that this new edition with these new creative ideas will be imperative for our intellectual survival.; title: The second, updated edition in the mean time has been published and is available for sale.; title: Time to wake up; title: THE MUSLIM DELUSION; title: News Comments (0)  Pakistan Today 06 August, 2011; title: Review by Muttahir Ahmed Khan; title: KARACHI -  Iqbal Syed Hussain is, by every yardstick, a man of letters and intellect, and possesses a natural tendency and competence to look very deep into the details of the issues and matters taking place around him.; title: His books are, beyond any cavil, imperative and helpful for the students, writers as well as the general readers who want to go through a series of critical analysis of the Muslim world’s present crises in relation to the other religious and racial cultures. It is an added attempt by Hussain at furthering the process of enlightenment and renaissance that the Muslims across the world need badly at the current juncture of their decline.; title: ‘The Muslim Delusion’, the book under review, is also a valuable addition to his series of books on the crucial and delicate subject of the Muslims’ religious orthodoxies and misunderstanding of the true spirit of Islam and the factors behind surging extremism in the world. The book comprises total fifteen harmoniously interlinked chapters to help the readers in focusing on certain specific areas for separate analysis. The book welcomes its readers with a soul-elevating and inspiring Quranic reference.; title: Factually speaking, Muslims are going through a phase of history that is tarnished by mounting confusion and delusion, anguish and sufferings for the global community, in general, and for the Muslims, in particular. This has been characterised by growing assaults to destroy the physical and spiritual reserves of the Muslim Ummah. It is why the book has been published and strongly recommended for the students by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. Hopefully this composition will prove to be a ray of hope at the end of a dark tunnel occupied with outdated and useless curricular contents and will exude an aura of suspicion and falsehood.; title: Hussain’s main stress is on the fact that, “The Muslim delusion, based on past achievements, is not likely to play any significant role in the transformation of our destiny. The Muslims, in general, live, in past glory, relish in self-delusion, and waste time in divisive and contradictory controversies. They have a grandeur story to tell and a phony dialectic to inject.”; title: Due to their educational and intellectual backwardness, Muslims have fallen prey to so many socio-religious evils that have been maneuvered by so-called religious scholars. Lack of research-oriented curiosity and investigative approach has made the masses, in our part of the world believe what their theocrats sand cunning political and religious leaders want them to believe.; title: Truthfully speaking, Muslims are the main architects of their own multi-dimensional depravity and backwardness, but they have been brought up in a social environment and educational setup that have brainwashed them completely, throwing them in an intoxicating dream in which they are the most deified, victorious and sacred nation and all other nations are their enemy and are continuously busy in conspiring against them.; title: It is, no doubt, incumbent on scholars, philosophers, policy makers and, above all, curriculum planners of all the nation states to infuse patriotism and respect and pride for their socio-cultural traditions into the veins of their youth by teaching and training them with the help of a specific syllabus and conventional stories. But, such practices, when crossing the limits of logicality, trust and objectivity, prove to be counter-productive and make the youth crippled on intellectual and spiritual levels.; title: The present condition is that Muslims, have nothing to their credit with regard to the revolutionary and unprecedented technological advancement and scientific research took place during last 100 years. It is ironic to discern that anti-western theocrats convey their messages to the masses and the youth through the electronic media and other technology-based means of communication that have been invented by the non-Muslims. Set aside the religious channels, websites and FM Radio stations, even a single loud speaker and the electricity, that make is functional, is not theirs. What could have they have done without all these advancements that are a gift from the non-Muslims?; title: Hussain in his book endeavours to invite the global community including the Muslims to opt for a path of enlightenment, betterment and salvation for the religious fanaticism which is found not only amongst Muslims but in the West too. This book is an important read.; title: Crises, Crises & Crises; title: 2. PAKISTAN: A Proud Nation, but Failing State”…; title: By Iqbal Syed Hussain; title: “PAKISTAN: A PROUD BUT FAILING STATE” is the title of our new book which deals primarily with constitutional and political crises, clash of institutions, religious extremism and terrorism. It is a tale of debilitating maladies which have brought the country on the brink of divisions, chaos and confusion. No resolution seems to be an ultimate solution of the complex nature of unending crises that threaten the integrity and viability of the state.; title: Although Pakistan may not be a failed state, but it is very much nearing the level where its affairs appear to be assuming unmanageable dimensions. Corruption, incompetence,  clashes between the executive and judiciary remain the main stumbling blocks on the way to effective functioning of the state. Poor governance, high cost of living and rapidly deteriorating social, moral and religious norms have led to divisions and deviations which continue to perpetuate a pattern of conflicts and encounters. It represents a failure to comprehend and resolve the issues with sincerity and integrity the conditions demand.; title: The challenges if not resolved promptly and adequately could cause severe damages leading to further degeneration and dissolution. The quantum of confusion and corruption is so gross that sustenance of the very system seems to be threatened by the growing wave of alienation and distortions, expediency and exploitation. The psychology of ideologies and the implications of egocentric policies have obscured the vision of all the stakeholders in the state. The laxity of incompetent officials and abdication of the sense of accountability on the part of corrupt politicians have caused alienation at the level of institutions and common citizens. The same process seems to perpetuate which started in the days of Isikindar Mirza and Ghulam Mohammad, and the people of Pakistan are baffled by the policies which have no substance, no reality. Humanity stares in the eyes of the state for its survival, but no constructive response seems to be forthcoming.; title: In order to survive collective shame and inspire the leaders and thinkers with a sense of creativity we have written the above book. It is an agonizing analysis of the malaise that has placed serious constraints on the way of creating a sustainable future and a healthy mansion of a prosperous state. The book highlights the values which must be nurtured to avert the crises and ensure a respectable national profile in the comity of nations. This provides a rational and balanced perception and an honest and realistic appraisal of the conditions which pose a serious challenge to the integrity of the state. As a “practical expression of the exigencies” it is a serious study which is worth exploration. Every effort has to be made to rectify the failings of the state and deficiencies of the society. This is how we can remove the disagreeable facets from the ugly face of politics. This is how we can confirm the conception that must be preserved to sustain the state of Pakistan.; title: HUMANITY International  Tel: 0092-55-3842583; title: Cell: 0300-7792452; title: Website: www.modernislamicstudies.org; title: 3.       The QUR’AN  AND MODERNISM; title: Beyond Science & Philosophy (English); title: 4.QUR’AN-e-HAKIM: a philosophical and aesthetic interpretation (Urdu ); title: IQBAL S. HUSSAIN; title: Although many books have been written on the Qur’an, yet it is very seldom that any serious, compact works have been produced to analyze the events from humane, scientific, philosophical and futuristic perspectives at the same time. While interpreting the Qur’an many writings have failed to accord due thought to the issues of the contemporary age, especially in context of secularism and modernism, and the sacred book  has been left  exposed to critical onslaughts from some sections of Western biased theology, atheism, politics and media. At the same time recent terrorist attacks have caused an uproar creating confusion and consternation about Islam and the Qur’an. Consequently the neo-cons and fundamentalists in the West have been caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and planning to burn the Qur’an. They have in the meantime established a cottage industry which is mainly oriented to fabricating Islamophobic products of intensely pernicious nature. This is the most disastrous situation which has been exceedingly disturbing and demeaning for the Muslims in particular.; title: In order to obviate these negative effects and create a better understanding of the Qur’an and Islam we have produced two books “The Qur’an & Modernism” (in English) and the “Qur’an Hakim: a treatise of philosophical and aesthetic interpretations (in  Urdu) for our readers both in the Muslim world and the Western hemisphere. The idea is to dispel the deviations and distortions that continue to contaminate the genuine conception of Islam and the Qur’an.; title: In these books a serious effort has been made to discuss both sacred and secular issues with their social, scientific and philosophical connotations. The realities of human life both in material and metaphysical context have been presented comprising the conceptual and speculative conceptions. The existence of God and the purpose and nature of life have been elaborated with socio-biological, biblical, and philosophical variations when and where necessary. The correct perception of the Qur’an is imperative as it is only with its light that we can go through the dark tunnels of human life. On occasions it also goes beyond the planks of science and philosophy on which is based the general perception of secularists and atheists. There are some fundamental connotations which form the basic premise of this conception.; title: The author has ventured to establish that modernism in Islam is not an anathema and modernity does not pose a challenge. A creative response is always possible with thoughtful analysis and deep insight.  The author makes it clear that the Qur’an is not a book of thoughtless concern and Islam is not a religion of static stereotypes.; title: With consistency of conception and grace of expression the prosaic situations can be turned into effective affirmations. With the excellence of language and diction a vision extends toward capturing the movements of the cosmos. It is called the Qur’an.; title: This is an imperative that affirms the vision and vitality of the QUR’AN and extends beyond science and philosophy of modern world. It is also important to understand the life and thought of Islam and its civilization. Those whose minds are nurtured on Western thought and those whose mindsets are divorced of the least streaks of modernism will be equally guided by the balanced and progressive conception of the QUR’AN.; title: The above books make the elucidation of the Qur’an easier for the benefit of mankind in general, and especially for those who are egocentric and dogmatists in their mindsets. Although altering the intellectual and conceptual connotations especially when they are entrenched in narrow confines is an exceedingly difficult task,, yet making an efforts and helping others to appreciate the essence of the Qur’an could not be a futile exercise in the current contaminated environments.; title: The books have been produced to elucidate the peculiarities of the divine injunctions in a language and style that could be comprehended easily by the modern man. Apart from the secular and scientific segments, the books place a strong focus on the fundamental doctrine of the Qur’an and all other biblical scriptures: the doctrine of the historical continuity of divine revelations.  The books while underscoring the pre-eminence of the Qur’an in temporal and metaphysical life go beyond science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics maintaining the supremacy of the ultimate reality. Penetrating deep into the ‘crystal spheres’ they establishes the reality of a cosmic order, the organic process and the laws that apply both to universe and human life.  In the light of modern discoveries the Quranic verses have been interpreted to substantiate the evidence of creative rationality.; title: With a vast range of analytical and lexical endowments “The above books on Qur’an, we hope, will go a long way to shatter the barriers of illusions and misconceptions which hinder the process of a pure perception and clear conception. They will also help desist the neo-cons and fundamentalists in America to reverse their sting and conform to the dictates of rational thought, religious grace and inner enlightenment. A study of the books will open new horizons to explore the hidden meanings of the Qur’an and integrate it into the fabric of modern human life. This will be the beginning of a process that has been lying dormant for long time. On way towards this realization we might be able to turn the revelation into a manifestation of human excellence and consummation. The presentation of the books in this form and spirit will be an act of charity to serve Divinity and transform the humanity.; title: For more details please contact:; title: HUMANITY international; title: e-Mail: Iqbalsyed2000@yahoo.co.uk; title: TERORISM IN ACTION: Why blame Islam?; title: Dr. Iqbal Syed Hussain; title: In exile in Switzerland Lenin observed that “there are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen”. We are going through such weeks, I presume, at present time. The process of dehumanization and structural dissolution is so rapid and uncertain that it drives man from depletion to depredation, from depression to degeneration. Man today is so much suppressed by the dehumanizing conditions that his very soul seems to be crushed under the debris of brutal attacks and physical assaults. Entrapped in the cobweb of antagonistic forces he is deprived of the essence of moral and human interior. With evils and terror on the horizon man wonders if he has lost track with the stars of civilization and gone back in the Stone Age with no hope of reaching the stage of consummation.; title: In an age of oppression and depravation terror has added a new element of confrontation to the dimensions of rival systems of thought and ideologies. It has given rise to new doctrines and new methods of suppression.  As such terrorism and military interventions have replaced the essence of human nature and man appears to be more beastly inspired than at any other time in human history. In the words of Plato the beastly desires “bestir themselves in dreams when the gentler part of the soul slumbers, and the control of Reason is withdrawn. Then the wild beast in us becomes rampant and goes in quest of what will gratify its own instincts”.; title: In modern age of dehumanization, 9/11 was the most disdainful event which shook the spectrum of world peace and harmony. In the aftermath came the American bombing raids which caused destruction and demise on an unprecedented scale. Brutality was visible in the most naked form. The very shape of civilization seemed to be fragmented and deformed.; title: “TERRORISM IN ACTION; WHY BLAME ISLAM” is a comprehensive, analytical study of the 9/11 incident, and provides an interpretation both from human and historical perspectives. The question arises if man should be allowed to choose a reasoned or desperate response to suit their own philosophy and ideological way of thought? Should adventurism and militarism be the response to terrorism? Should it be the basis for the animals to replace men to impose their compulsive injunctions?  Such are the questions, which bestir the minds of readers. They are discussed critically to seek release from the wheels of fire, which set ablaze the wells of hatred.; title: This book makes it clear that in order to resolve the religious and ideological divergences we should not deploy destructive means and crusades and terrorism are not the appropriate response to the follies of a few mistaken souls. Confusion and conflicts should not lead to clash of civilizations. Thus the book, based on a broad and balanced analysis, could be a convincing contribution to a rational and scientific study of the subject.; title: ISLAM & CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS; title: Dr. Iqbal S. Hussain; title: A new century is upon us and civilizations are almost on a collision course. As Muslims we are confronted with attacks and accusations, which have already debilitated our fragile socio-cultural, political and economic structures. With hardly any indigenous technology, economic strength and moral reserves we are exposed to the catastrophes of huge destructive enormity that bring us nearer to the stage of breakdown and disintegration.; title: The situation has become all the more serious since 9/11. The clash of civilizations which till now was a mere myth now seems to have assumed an expression of naïve reality. As the conditions harden, the prediction of Friedrich Nietzsche appears to be translating into real impressions. There will be wars as never before” has begun to advance by ordered stages. “How could the human mind cope with the spectacle of civilizations turning against one another annihilating their own integral elements in an orgy of organized destruction?; title: The questions of clash of civilizations, fundamentalism and ideological confrontations have become the core issues of the modern age. Since they concern directly the Muslim world, and allegations are directed against the Muslim extremists, the above book has been produced to discuss the gravity of the situation and the urgency to survive its pernicious effects. Since we live in a world, which is not of our own making, we have to face the varying situations and resolve the issues which confront us in our day to day life. How to face the challenges and evolve a strategy of principled and rational discourse is the main theme of “ISLAM & CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS”. Since the collapse of the World Trade Center the West in general and the United States in particular seem to have assumed a position of intolerance and even their civilization appears to have lost its amiable, sophisticated features. As a result of inadequate understanding, confusion and despair the dynamics of dialogue on which depends the process of peace has become bereft of the essential elements of reasoning and rationality. There are more attacks, more discrimination against Muslims, and there is increasing occupation with subjects that earn the neo-cons and fanatics more hostility and combat.; title: In a mood of despair and disillusionment we find people talking about the ‘Clash of Civilizations and Islamophobia.  The fear and suspicions seem to have made it hard for them to approach ISLAM objectively.  This is the tragedy of the modern age which in spite of its rapid advance seems to have had no substantial impact on the mode of thought in the western world. It is high time that efforts are made to reshape the collective consciousness and build a greater civilization embracing all segments of humanity. Hence a positive perception leading to a better understanding of Islam is the imperative to avert further clashes between the two major religions. The cornerstone of modern civilizations is the reconciliation and pursuit of conversation.; title: In our books we have tried to remove the misconceptions by exposing the unholy hues of irrational and hasty judgments. Maybe our efforts succeed and establish the supremacy of reason and understanding over passions and extremism. Maybe a “way out” is found for the intellectual survival of the nation and collective welfare of human civilization. This could be a suitable outcome of our efforts which are intended to translate the irrationality of obscurantism into a rational interpretation of ideological and political conflicts-- an opening to the enlightened approach to the problems of the world, and a move to the intellectual survival of the nation.; title: Tel: 0092-55-3842583         Cell: 0300- 7792452; title: OUR BOOKS ; for intellectual survival; title: 1.
