It has always been my firm belief that the efficient management of a hospital, a school or a housing estate is as important as it is to a business enterprise. The objective of efficient management in this case, however, is not to make money but to spend what is available in the most effective manner. Saving in this way, without lowering ...
[Journalists in developing countries] have a duty to explain the policies of their Government in simple language, in the reasoning behind the priorities of official planning and decision making and to report objectively on progress or otherwise towards declared objectives. There is an additional responsibility for journalists in young and developing nations where the basic infrastructure of major institutions such as ...

I have observed in the Western world a deeply changing pattern of human relations. The anchors of moral behaviour appear to have dragged to such depths that they no longer hold firm the ship of life: what was once wrong is now simply unconventional, and for the sake of individual freedom must be tolerated. What is tolerated soon becomes accepted. Contrarily, ...
The old saying that man's material progress can be achieved by a judicious application of both the carrot and the stick has a great deal of truth in it. It could be argued today that efficient management in many of the world's mixed economies has reached a point where the public sector could benefit from a little more stick and where ...
Finally, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to announce this evening what I hope, in the fullness of time, will become a major influence on the evolution of the Muslim cultural heritage. It concerns the art form in which I have taken a deep personal interest for many years. Beginning in 1980, and every three years thereafter, I propose to offer ...
I fear the day when Islam will be our faith, yet its outward manifestation in the buildings we work and live in, the paintings and works of art we behold and the music we listen to, will be dominated by foreign cultures which have their roots neither in our spiritual beliefs nor in our great artistic heritage....

The sheer variety of Kenya's attractions have few equals anywhere.

The timely creation of a national press through private initiative in Kenya may well have helped to make it possible for the Kenya government to maintain a free press, one of the rare exceptions in developing countries. Once financial success has been achieved, we put a substantial part of the shareholding at the disposal of the public through the medium of ...

I hope, however, that the benefit of this hospital will spread far beyond the patients who enter its doors. It is, after all, to be a training institution, not only for doctors but also for nurses.

If there are teachers who wish to go to foreign training institutions, in order to carry out a year or two years of post graduate studies, but will then undertake to come back to our schools; then I would like to assure you of my full support for this programme.

I believe that in other parts of the world, the time and effort and thought that has gone into planning and developing new educational institutions, has shown without doubt very substantial results in the Jamat position in the past 13 years.

The Ismailia Youth Services have provided a magnificent example which I hope will be followed, not only by my Jamat in Pakistan, but also by my Jamat in other parts of the world.

It is through the creation of such a new elite, inspired by, and widely read in everything related to our heritage, that there must come about a revival in Muslim thought. The whole approach to education, without becoming archaic, should begin now to re-introduce, as widely as possible, the work and thought of our great Muslim writers and philosophers. Thus, from ...
