A Journey of Discovery - a Muslim Encounters Initiatives of Change

David Young reviews a new booklet

Was Rudyard Kipling right to say that East and West would always remain apart? Or is teamwork and understanding possible?

With the headlines often full of violence and terrorism, Imam Dr Abduljalil Sajid's new booklet A Journey of Discovery - a Muslim Encounters Initiatives of Change is a convincing outline of such a future. Written originally for Muslim friends, this relevant, topical and readable account has something for all of us, Muslim and non-Muslim alike.

Imam Sajid writes: ‘Our task is to help those leaders with the power to affect world events to take decisions beneficial for all, not just for their own nations. These are tasks that need the best minds and actions of us all, and that Muslim and non-Muslim can take on together… When I read Frank Buchman’s emphasis on the four absolute standards of honesty, purity, unselfishness and love, and listening in prayer to seek God’s direction, being the means of change, I thought these might have come from the… principles which every Muslim learns from the Qur’an.’

In this fine booklet, a fervent Muslim declares his brotherhood with all humankind, and assures his fellow Muslims of the validity of Initiatives of Change. Easy to read and handle, it is a valuable asset.
