Introductory Remarks
Together with many close Muslim brothers and sisters, we all started
with the Islamic work and the Islamic movement during our youth
and student days. For me it has been more than forty years.
Previously I and those from my generation had the comfort of
knowing that we have our elder brothers and scholars to seek for
guidance and advise. A few years back we realized that we are now
the elders from whom the younger generation are seeking for
guidance and advise.
Based on the many years of work that we have done in our
professional lives providing training and consulting in the field of
management and leadership development, particularly strategy
management, we find that there is a great need to apply the tools of
strategy management to this most important work and struggle of
rebuilding the Islamic civilization.4

Introductory Remarks
We are all aware that the Islamic civilization started from the time of
the Hijrah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the first generation of
Muslims in the year 632. Since then it has grown in strength and
provided leadership to the world despite some periods of minor
decadence during which the Muslim ummah still showed political andcivilization leadership.
Today, we are far from that position of leadership in almost all
aspects of civilization; governance, justice and fairness, education,
health, wealth creation, individual freedom, and social manners.

Introductory Remarks
It is obvious that we need to change and regain our position of being
an exemplary civilization as alluded to in Surah Al-Baqarah verse
143 (And thus have We made you a group in the middle, so that
you be an ultimate witness [of God's guidance] on [other]
people and the Messenger be an ultimate witness [of God'sguidance] on you).
But how do we describe this change effort? This is what Im
proposing in a methodological way while limiting the scope to the
strategic areas of change.

Introductory Remarks
We begin with the basics of strategy management and introduce a
simple model for change. We then describe in some detail the
components of this model.
This PowerPoint presentation summarizes the ideas of this change
model. Ive developed these ideas over a period of five years but
really focused on the details during the last two years. I plan to
publish a book in Arabic on this topic.
I must congratulate the brothers who helped put together these slides
in English. The topic and its ideas are very important and has to be
made available to a wider range of readership for comments and
suggestions to improve. May Allah bless and reward our good deeds.

Major Crisis Factors
1. Behavior and ethics
Faith and Rituals Purity of creed () and avoiding the bid'ah
Mastering the obligations and avoidanceof the major sins
Concern for the nawafil (superarogatory)deeds and keeping away from the minor sins
No feeling of being restrained due to thevastness of permissible things
Preference for the priorities
There are many examples of strange beliefs and practices among Muslims with no basis from Al-Quran and
As-Sunnah.
A significant percentage of Muslims neglect the obligations and commit major sins.
There is a decline in the importance of these nawafil deeds and many Muslims are no longer sensitive
toward the minor sins.
We significantly lack a sense of priorities even in the way we practice our faith and rituals.19

Major Crisis Factors

Orderliness/Discipline and Cleanliness Appearance

One can clearly observe the lack of orderliness and cleanliness in the areas mentioned
above.

Major Crisis Factors
1. Behavior and ethics
Respecting time Individual appointments
Family appointments
Official work

Activities
In general, we do not respect time and are rarely punctual. It is a negative attitude that begins
with the individual and permeates throughout our societies.

Major Crisis Factors
1. Behavior and ethics
Decorum and grace Decorum with people
Buildings and architecture
Appreciation of the arts
Beauty in the appearance
In general, there is a lack of decorum and grace in the way we deal with people in terms of politeness,
courtesy, civic mindedness and basic manners.
Its painfully obvious that many of the physical artifacts of our history are considered objects of beauty even by
the West but we are far behind in modern architecture, arts and culture.

Examples of critical areas in which we are quite far behind compared to the more developed

countries.

that of Israel and India. 32

Customs and traditions
Patriarchal
Fascination, dependence and sanctification
Influenced by reality
Freedom of worship and religion
References of our thought are the pure sources of Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. But many times
we allow our customs and traditions to define our thought and thought processes without
questioning its basis. We also allow our prejudices and affiliations particularly with the various
Mazhab to influence the thought process.
At times our fascination with the sacredness of some of our customs prevent us from looking at
the issues at hand objectively. A simple example is the mass celebration of the birthday of our
beloved Prophet in some Muslim countries. It is sensitive to point out that such celebrations
were not observed during the time of the Prophet or rightly guided Caliphs. 49

components are grouped into 12 pillars of economic
competitiveness.

sense of the specific areas in which a particular country needs to
improve.

Concluding Remarks
-
8/2/2019 Strategic Change for Muslim Ummah English
134/139
The basics of strategy management require that we define a
clear vision of the future, and in our case, a clear picture of
how the Muslim ummah will look like in the future. It simply
cannot be generic statements like an Islamic state, an
Islamic Khalifah, to implement Shariah. It must be in
some tangible form, preferably quantifiable and with
timelines.
That is what we have tried to clarify in our vision statement
for the ummah over the next twenty years; to quantifiably
improve the level of economic competitiveness for each Muslim
country and to enhance the unity and cooperation among the
Muslim countries by proposing a confederation united in the
four suggested areas.
134
Concluding Remarks
-
8/2/2019 Strategic Change for Muslim Ummah English
135/139
Is the proposed vision complete and perfect ? We do not claim
it as such but we believe it is definitely a good start.
When we started on this project in 2008, many considered the
vision far-fetched considering the economic and political
situation then. Now events have changed significantly.
The financial crisis in 2008 is crippling the economies of the West
and weakening their financial institutions. The biggest economy in
the world, the United States, is facing a major debt crisis.
The spring uprising in 2011 will change the political landscape in
the Middle East. Its opening the doors of freedom and greater
autonomy for the common people. It will help overcome our first
challenge factor; political despotism.
135
Concluding Remarks
-
8/2/2019 Strategic Change for Muslim Ummah English
136/139
This work is very much still in progress. We are encouraged
by the many positive responses we have received indicating
that although the work is not perfect, we are on the right
track.
We have created a web portal in Arabic (for now) to share our
ideas and invite comments and participation from all
interested Muslims.
http://www.change-project.co
We certainly invite comments and suggestions to improve
upon it.
Kindly distribute report on this humble work to your circle of
friends.

The one who intends to do a good deed and actualizes it will be
rewarded by ten multiples and the one who intends to do a
good deed but does not actualize it will still be rewarded with a
single multiple of the deed.
So make your intentions sincere and proceed with the deeds.
Dont forget us in your prayers.
