Kuinuka kwa pili kwa Uislamu kunakaribia. Kama anavyoandika Patrick Buchanan, ni wazo ambalo wakati wake umewadia. Lakini hili halipaswi kuchukuliwa kama kengele ya hatari ambayo milio ya woga inapaswa kupigwa. Uislamu si dini iliyotengenezwa kwa kisasi au chuki. Si itikadi iliyoundwa kuwanufaisha wachache na kuwatiisha wengi. Ukweli mwingi, kwa nadharia na kwa vitendo, unatoa ushahidi wa kushawishi kwamba Uislamu, ukishatekelezwa katika mfumo, ukatendwa katika maisha halisi, na kuruhusiwa kujenga ustaarabu wake, utailetea binadamu amani, usalama, ustawi na haki ambavyo vinahitajika sana.
The second rise of Islam is imminent. As Patrick Buchanan writes, it is an idea whose time has come. But this should not be taken as an alarm for which the sirens of fear should be blown. Islam is not a religion made out of vengeance or hatred. It is not an ideology made to benefit the few and subjugate the multitude. The overwhelming facts both in theory and practice provide compelling evidence that Islam, once implemented in a system, and practiced in real life, and allowed to build its civilization, will bring the humanity the much-needed peace, security, prosperity, and justice.
Leo, ulimwengu kwa ujumla unaishi katika hali ya kukata tamaa zaidi kuliko wakati wowote katika historia, hali ya maadili na kanuni za kimaadili kuporomoka, hali ya matajiri kuwatawala maskini, hali ya himaya zinazoanguka, na hali ambayo miungu iliyotengenezwa na binadamu haiwezi tena kudumisha mamlaka wala kuwaweka waabudu wake. Huu ndio wakati wa kuinuka kwa mfumo wa Mungu mmoja, Mungu aliyejaa rehema, asiye na upendeleo kwa matajiri, wala kwa wazungu, wala kwa weusi, wala kwa Magharibi, wala kwa Kaskazini, wala kwa upendeleo wowote ule. Huu ndio wakati wa kuinuka kwa mfumo mpya unaoleta usawa katika ugawaji wa mali, na usawa wa sheria kwa kipimo kimoja na cha pekee.
Today, more than any other time in history, the world at large is living in a state of despair, a state of falling moral and ethics, a state of the rich ruling over the poor, a state of collapsing empires, a state in which man-made gods are no longer able to sustain sovereignty or keep the worshipers. This is the time for the rise of the one-god system, the god who is full of mercy, who has no biases towards the rich, or the white, or the black, or the west, or the north, or any kind of bias. This is the time for the rise of a new system which creates a balance of wealth distribution, and a balance of the laws with one and only one standard.
Huu ni wito kwa watu kufikiri na kuzingatia njia mbadala. Uislamu si dini wala itikadi inayojilazimisha juu ya watu. Hata hivyo, unazilazimisha fikra zake kwenye akili, na ni juu ya akili ya kimantiki kuikubali au kuikataa.
This is a call for the people to think and consider alternatives. Islam is not a religion or ideology which imposes itself upon people. It does, however, compel its ideas upon the minds, and it is up to the rationalistic mind to accept or reject.
