Material progress apart, I do not think it should ever be assumed that only the smaller, poorer nations are faced by apparently insoluble problems. Western Europe and North America possess much that can be envied. They also face social and moral conflicts which are far more daunting than known in Asia or Africa.... The pressure of an acquisitive society has made ...

What I wanted to do was to avoid turning [the Costa Smeralda development] into a business prospect, where one got everything out of it possible. I wanted to try to contain the development to make something really attractive, as far as one's own judgement can do that, and avoid having the place completely swamped. We are trying here to stay in ...
[The trend of rich nations becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer] can, however, be slowed down, if not reversed, given two important conditions. The first is a decision by the rich nations, taken through policy or morality, to devote a larger proportion of their savings to helping the poor nations. The second is the creation of an educational, political and ...

For the future, have you made any basic decisions where Ismaili communities should develop? There are only a certain number of areas in the world where a Muslim group can live with its own traditions. In Western Europe our habits are either misunderstood or totally ignored; [Y]ou can see that Africa, with all its dangers, has tremendous potentiality. I have intense ...
In all Christian societies the Churches are having to cope with increasing scepticism, particularly among the young. Some are modifying their doctrines, some are becoming more authoritarian. What happens with the Ismailis? If one's faith is to be part of one's life then it has to come under questioning. The essential is that it should be understood, that's what would justify ...

In the Muslim World , educational problems are probably a great deal more complex than anywhere else. In the first place our traditional centres of learning, which were some centuries back alone in the forefront of human knowledge, are today striving to recapture their past glory. Unfortunately this struggle is being weighed with arms that are not of our making. And ...
The new industrial and commercial processes which today are being effected practically at every hour by new technical and scientific knowledge are for many reasons being restrained in their development because the societies in which the processes have been born are too firmly bound by labour regulations, by extravagant development cost, or by the difficulty of getting established institutions to adopt ...

History, both Muslim and non-Muslim is studded with examples of societies which have stagnated through failing to adapt to new historical and human trends. Paralysis gained control of the body of these groups through a progressive attack on the military, moral, material, social and economic features of these societies. From this gradual paralysis death has invariably ensued, either after longer or ...
Having visited many parts of the world, I think there is at least one statement which can be made about all human beings regardless of their faith and origins. This is: that every man and woman somewhere in his or her heart would like to have a better life. How to achieve this is the question to which man has devoted ...
Pakistan is a young country with mammoth educational problems on her hands. I believe it is in the interest of private organisations and it is also the duty of these organisations to come forth and sponsor new private schools in both wings. I believe that both Government and private institutions have their responsibilities to the youth of the nation. The Government ...
Amongst the new buildings in this country: offices, schools, banks, how many have been conceived with the wish to infuse new vigour, new style, new charm in traditional Muslim architecture, rather than importing styles, concepts and motives, developed, used and admired outside the realm of Islam? Should we not fear that through the lack of encouragement to our architects in modernising ...
As it is, I have spent many hours in trying to conceive of the world in which we will live in 25 years' time and which will undoubtedly have very great effects on all of us.

I don't drink alcoholic beverages for several reasons. For one thing, I am a Muslim. For another, I am an athlete in year-round training. Thirdly, I just don't like the taste of the stuff....

During the two Caliphates, the Muslim Universities were producing the best scholars, doctors, astronomers and philosophers. Today where are we? Have we institutions of learning which can compare with the Sorbonne, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, Oxford, M.I.T.? Throughout my journeys I have been deeply pained to see the lack of initiative which my brother Muslims have shown in educational matters. In some ...
If I have placed great emphasis on education, it is because I have faith in the human soul and judgement. I believe that the battle for peace would be in a large measure solved if every one is sufficiently educated to make a sound judgement on national and world issues. It is with the greatest sincerity that I would like to ...
The World Muslim Congress has branches all over the world. It is, therefore, in a unique position to teach the Muslims to help themselves, and as food for thought may I suggest that the World Muslim Congress should establish tax-exempt organisations wherever the Congress is in existence, and that perhaps these organisations should have a central body from which to direct ...

If we devote some time to thinking about the speed of the revolution through which we are passing, it is a salutary thought and a sobering one also to guess at the world into which will be born our grand-children.

You have talked, Your Excellency, about the crises of the human spirit and the difficulties of reconciling the old ethical consciousness with the competitive and aggressive approach which many of us have today. Being the loader of a community spread out through the Middle East, Asia and Africa, I have had a chance of seeing a number of different approaches to ...
One of the greatest reasons for which I have paid so much attention to education is that I have the impression that, in many cases, the so called backward areas tend to look at the advanced areas and to say we want to be like you. I do not think that any of us could argue against the fact that the ...
