OVERVIEW:

The forum addresses the current tensions within the Ummah, specifically relating to big power interests, sectarianism, economic backwardness and socio-political tensions in the Muslim world. Four distinguished speakers will present the historical, intellectual, economic, social and political foundations for the growing unrest that the Ummah has been grappling with for several decades. They will also highlight the role of global big power designs in perpetuating such tensions, as part of a larger geopolitical agenda. Reference will also be made to the apparent ineffectiveness of the Amman Message as an instrument of peace and harmony. Last but not least, the speakers address the current landscape of Islam in Malaysia, focusing on the need for Rahmatan Lil-Ãlamin based on Maqāsid Sharīa, with the aim of spreading the message of “unity in diversity”.
