[quote]Firstly, many thanks for sharing a brilliant resume of our religions past.Islam is a religion, it is a beacon of light that shows the right path, it is a light house , a source of inspiration and guidance.

Leaders are elected representatives of a society. They should be the best the society can offer.

Water flows from top to bottom, so it is essential that change comes from the top.

I believe that the responsibility for change lies on every muslim. I am not expecting that every muslim should become a scholar. But for example, every person does not need to be a doctor, but every person should know first aid measures and how to treat basic essentials, like if a child has temp, cold or stomach upset. Every muslim must know the bsic essential about their religion.

The Qur'an tells us that in every society there should be an organisation or jammat , that firstly properly learns about Islam and then practices it and teaches others.I feel that it should be the responsibility of the government in an Islamic country to set up such jammats or have a department that fulfills these responsibilities.they should propogate the true picture of Islam without any bias or sectarianism.

We cannot exclude the responsibilities of common individuals. After all it is there votes that elect leaders.

One thing which I have always found very dificult to understand is that for example in Pakistan, during elections, people cast vote for several reasons, he is a family relative,same sect,feudal Lord.

If individuals had proper education and understanding of Islam, they would realise the importance of their vote. They would understand that they should vote for who is the best person for the country, without any importance to culture, creed, colour or sect.

The leaders have the power to bring change. Islam appreciates it and thus a strong emphasis and reward is given in Islam for a "Just and fair ruler". such a person can influence the future and lives of many.[/quote]
