present needs and situations, the preparation of
missionary literature, keeping in view the require-
ments of the modern mind and challenges from
modern ideologies. All these objectives call for a
defence of religion on an academic level. It is
beyond a single person or a group to perform all
these tasks. What is desirable is that the importance
of one another’s work be recognized. There should
be mutual consultation and assistance. The coordi-
nation that is required can be illustrated by the
example of the electricity which is generated in the
power house and the machines which are produced
in factories. Their utility would be zero if they did
not meet at some point. It is by their relating to one
another that they acquire meaning and efficacy. If
such unity is achieved on an intellectual level by the
Ummah, it will eventually bring immense benefits.
The revival of Islam which, for centuries had been
an empty dream, will become a reality in a matter of
years or even just months.
