WHY????????
Dr. Muhammad Ahsan, UK based academician and
researcher, has designed a workshop to explore the answers of these and many
other similar questions. The two-day participatory workshop will focus on the
contemporary challenges of the Islamic World and response strategies for
renascences (Programme: Online: 08th and 09th March 2013;
Onsite: 15th and 16th March 2013 (Islamabad). In the
context of the present workshop, needless to say that internally weak,
under-developed, frustrated, conflict-ridden, suffering from internal tensions
and abused by external interventions, the Muslim World is in a state of crisis.
In Muslim countries it is customary to blame external powers and imperialism
for all manners of ills. Although, this habit may point up many of the
grievances and obstacles Muslims face, it cannot explain the internal causes of
the ills.
The biggest challenge for the contemporary Muslim Ummah, is how to
come out of this complex and integrated network of crises. This unique and
specifically designed workshop will lead the participants from understanding
the fabrics of the crises to ways forward to a practical solution. This
workshop is unique in the sense that for the past over two and half decades,
the trainer (Dr. M. Ahsan) has been intensively engaged in researching on
diversified issues and challenges faced by the Muslim World. He is the first
Muslim intellectual who has presented the Agenda 2050, which step by step,
leads to the development and integration of Muslim countries. The IRP can
confidently say that the participants will particularly benefit from the blend
of theoretical and empirical strategy used in this workshop.
