After 50 Years: Some Questions

Wanted to request the respected members on our Forums for their kind feedback on the following questions:

1. Will we still be discussing the small issues of the AMU on our Forums after 50 years?

2. Will we still have only a few (if at all) AMUs by that time?

3. Will we still be rambling from one topic to another without focusing on one issue and concluding it?

4. Will we still not know what we stand for?

5. Will we still be making only ad hoc arrangements?

6. Will we still not know why are we so much concerned about Muslims?

7. Will we come out of the self-doubt and the feeling of ‘guilt’ for taking to the ‘modern education’?

7. Will we still be demanding more and talking less about our duties and responsibilities?

8. Will our two streams of education be still flowing separately?

9. Will we still believe in the duality of knowledge as ‘religious’ and ‘secular’?

10. Will we still desire more to ‘get’ and less to ‘give’?

11. Will we still be more arrogant and less humble?

12. Will we still be more emotional and less reasonable?

13. Will we still be more subjective and less objective?

14. Will we still keep the Book behind and run the risk of being complained about it (al-Furqaan, 25: 30)?

15. Will we still be more communitarian in outlook and less individualistic?

16. Will we still dislike discussing the ways of augmenting critical and scientific thinking in our curriculum as well as developing leadership qualities from a very early age?

17. Will we still not be quite clear about what is the real concept of knowledge?

18. Will we still be undoing each other – on a daily baisis? 

19. Will we still not have any agreed upon civilizational goals?

20. Will we still be resistant to change or will be more willing than currently we are?

21. Will we still be waiting for leaders to (mysteriously) arrive and then perform the tasks (which we do not try to figure out)?

22. Will we still have these questions unanswered?
