A menos que estos desafortunados puedan ser tocados con la chispa que enciende el espíritu de la empresa individual y la determinación, sólo se hundirán de nuevo en la apatía, la degradación y la desesperación. Nos corresponde a nosotros, que somos más afortunados, proporcionar esa chispa.

• En la creencia islámica, el conocimiento tiene dos vertientes. Está el revelado a través del Santo Profeta (s.a.s.) y el que el hombre descubre en virtud de su propio intelecto. Estos dos no implican ninguna contradicción, siempre que el hombre recuerde que su propia mente es en sí misma la creación de Dios. Sin esta humildad, no hay equilibrio posible. Con ella, no hay barreras. De hecho, uno de los puntos fuertes del Islam ha sido siempre su creencia en que la creación no es estática, sino continua, que a través de la ciencia y otros esfuerzos, Dios ha abierto y sigue abriendo nuevas ventanas para que veamos las maravillas de Su creación.

• My grandfather was a most gifted person, and amongst his many qualities, one of them had always particularly impressed me. While the past was a book he had read and re-read may times, the future was just one more literary work of art into which he used to pour himself with deep thought and concentration. Innumerable people since his death have told me how he used to read in the future, and this certainly was one of his very great strengths.

• The Muslim world, with its history and cultures, and indeed its different interpretations of Islam, is still little known in the West. The two worlds, Muslim and non-Muslim, Eastern and Western, must, as a matter of urgency, make a real effort to get to know one another, for I fear that what we have is not a clash of civilisations, but a clash of ignorance on both sides.
