LUCKNOW: Dr Kalbe Sadiq, the vice-president of All India Muslim Personal Law Board, released the recently published book ‘Islam in 21st Century: The Dynamics of Change and Future-making’ penned by the author Abdul Rashid Agwan and published by Gloriords Publications before a select gathering of the leading Muslim gentry last week in Lucknow.
While speaking on this occasion Dr Sadiq remarked that ‘the rendering is based on original research and fresh ideas which would be useful in making the Muslim community vibrant and virtuous and the book would be found effective for the motivation of Muslim youths. The Muslim world is passing through an unprecedented sectarian divide which cannot be alleviated unless Muslims revert to the teachings of the Quran and reconstruct society on its basic tenets and the released book will be helpful in this regard’.
Former advocate general and ex-chairman of State Minority Commission of Uttar Pradesh, SMA Kazim, expressed his views as the key-speaker of the release function, organized by Knowledge Academy for Research and Studies at Jay Shanakr Prasad Hall of the city, and appreciated the work written by the author as a great effort which has presented a pragmatic plan for making the Muslim community play an active role in fulfilling its responsibilities towards the larger mankind, apart from making itself a strong and creative minority amidst ongoing changes in the world. He informed the noble gathering based on scholars of both Islamic and modern streams, administrators, scientists, businessmen, community leaders and social activists that the book gives a future idea of Islam which can be useful in the emergence of a universal mankind.
On this occasion, the author of the book Agwan introduced the theme and highlights of his composition and emphasized on future visioning, knowledge creation, universalization of the Muslim community, co-development as the key concepts of future roadmap of the Muslim world. He tried to prove through latest data and information that the Muslim countries are fast improving on the fronts of education, scientific research, economic advancement and social development and anticipated that some of these nations will play a crucial role in the future leadership of the world which appears now to be more east-oriented than being the western one.
Maulana Zahir Ahmad Siddiqui, the chairman of Knowledge Academy, welcomed the guests at the beginning of the program and introduced the author and his book and led the discussion.
Presentations of the main speakers were followed by general discussion on the theme by Dr Iqtidar Husain Farooqui, Maulana Shamim Salfi, Dr Sabiha Anjum, Dr Qamar Rahman, Dr Rukhsana Nikhat Lari, Dr Masoodul Hasan Usmani, Dr Muhammad Anis, Athar Husain, advocate Zafaryab Jilani, Masood Khan, Mohammad Suleman, Hilal Naqvi and others.
In his presidential remarks, Dr Zaki Kiramani the chairman of Centre for Studies on Science, Aligarh, felt the need for creation on new knowledge in the Muslim world particularly in the field of science and technology as the western science has turned today as an enterprise and it does not fulfill the requirement of balanced human development.
The function came to close with the appeal of the publisher of the book Shahabuddin Yaqub to debate on the issues raised in the book on the especially created platform on islamin21stcentury.com going to be active soon.
I would request both Author and publisher to make it online free copy, so that young inspiring muslims can read and bring the much needed social change
Dear Fahim bhai
Muslims are far behind in every field becoz they do not want to invest money in education and study. every one looking for free copy. I think this is reason we do not have big book publishing company like penguin, harper collin and rupa. Friends I would request you to please buy it and read. 500 hundred and six hundred for such kind of book seems nothing.
Important point is to read this book.
Salaam To All.

Salam to all,
Holy Quran is the weath of living for this world to the etertnity .
Though I have not read the Book ,I am convinced that it will be an eye opener for both believers & non believers.
ALLAH SWT Himself was the teacher of all 124000 Holy Prophets.
Holy Prophet Mohammed was the best student of ALLAH SWT whom ALLAH SWT has honoured as ” Mercy to mankind ” And Holy Abraham Ibrahim) as HIS friend.
Dr.Zakir Naik , many a times clarified that all Holy Scriptures were
confined to the particular group or Nation of the related period But Holy Quran is the guide to the mankind for all time to come.
Holy Quran no doubt contains sign & science of the modern times .and the glorious Holy Quran is the best Enclopydia of the Universe
contained in the maginificient Library in Lohuey Mohfuj.
Dr. Zakir has through many lectures claried to the People & Nations
at large that Holy Quran has no scientific error & does not clash with science. The numerical allocation in Holy Quran beautifully & accurately contained in Holy Quran.
Therefore the more deeper one enters in the studies of Holy Quran
the more will gain enlightment of own soul & be able to impart knowledge to others .
I in my small way invite Christian Churches to study glorious Quran
along with Holy Quran & Science by Dr.Mourice Bacuile.
I also ask them Which GOD ALMIGHTY holy Abraham, Moses prayed to true ALMIGHTY ALLAH or to Holy Jesus.
I have also invited all to Study the findings of Sir Isaac Newton
and The Gospel of St barnabas.
I asked Chritian why Bibles were only Retain by7 Mark, Philip, paul & the like & why not by Holy Jesus himself & why they had rejected Gospel of St .Barnabas.
You want to know ALLAH SWT ? Inquire with in, self quest, who am I.? what is my soul , the soul reside within yourself & yet you cannot see it. See your shodaw cannot catch it. The same way ALLAH SWT exist & yet you cannot believe in HIM.
Any way, I thank all Musli9ms who strive to enlight others with the light of Islam. May ALLAH SWT forgive our sins & guide all to the truth
of Islam.
Best wishes.
Dear Mr B. Ahmed EEC! Be sure that the said book undertakes a discourse in the framework of Quran. However, it is not a book on religion. Rather, it is a book on common human future and it motivates Muslims to dream of a world where they are contributing in the development of future human society and to pursue a path for realizing that dream. It presents the present challenges before Muslims in future-oriented perspectives and appeals them to shape the new millennium as they shaped the last two millennia through their scholarship, universality and humanist vision.
this is one of the best islamic book i have seen this is very good motivational book for youths and muslims

There is no one great book than Quran, so I am not agreed that that this is a great, today muslids are toward backwardness becatse they left studying Quran and Salat in Masjid, I understand we have keep our eyes on current affair today. Our life is not only to grow the wealth of this world, take care of hereafter which can be guide both the world in the light of Quran.

Brother what i understand is that Islam has commanded us to study and gain as much knowledge as we can so that we could be able to understand this universe which is work of ALLAH. Quran is words of Allah and universe is work of Allah. according to you one should leave everything and only recite Quran.this is not Islam.You are misguiding youths and community as well.Quran has every and each knowledge but it encourage to attain more ilm and and ask us to travel. I would advise you to please read this book as well.Jazakallah Khair.
I am sorry brother you judged me wrongly, I am not telling to read only Quran, even Allah ajwazal said in Quran gain Ilm as much as, I said there is no one great book than Quran because somebody telling like this is a great book. We have to study more and more but now a days technical education ke chakkar mein no one is coming toward Quran.
SIMPLY GREAT
