Book Review:
Islam & Muslims in the 21st Century by Abdus Sattar Ghazali (2017)
Dr. Habib Siddiqui: In spite of the evil plan of its enemies to turn our world into war zones and killing fields, the Muslim world needs serious introspection by its genuine enlightened intellectuals that can diagnose its plethora of illnesses that had transformed it into a world of zeros in the global arena. Ghazali reminds us that the peculiar way the political development has taken place in the Muslim countries have created elite groups that care about only themselves in which there is no share for the ordinary masses. They are for self-aggrandizement and don’t mind selling the interest of the people to the highest foreign bidder. No wonder the Muslim world has so many of these self-serving puppets, despots and autocrats ruling its people who has no fear of accountability either to God or His creation. Will that scenario change any time soon? I strongly recommend Ghazali’s book to understand the problems faced by the Muslims of the 21st century.
[Dr. Habib Siddiqui has authored 11 books, five of which are now available through Amazon.com. His latest book - Devotional Stories is published by A.S. Noordeen, Malaysia. Dr. Siddiqui is an alumnus of the prestigious University of Southern California, Los Angeles, where he earned his Ph.D.]
Arthur Kane Scott: I recommend Muslims& Islam unconditionally. There is so much to be learned and uncovered within its pages. It`s a literal treasure trove of insights about the global future and reach of Islam Muslims, as they and the world move deeper into the complexity of the twenty- first century. -
