Nahdah haqida tushuncha shunday bo‘lishi mumkinki, u ilmiy taraqqiyot, ishlab chiqarishning oshishi, zavodlar ko‘pligi hamda hayotda ishlatiladigan moddiy shakllarda texnologiya va yangiliklardan foydalanishni anglatadi, chunki Nahdah faqat taraqqiyot, jamiyat va odamlarning bir holatdan yaxshiroq holatga o‘tishini bildiradi. Bu tushuncha shu darajaga yetdiki, ba’zilar iqtisodiy farovonlik kuzatilgan har bir yurt uyg‘ongan, deb o‘ylay boshladi. Biroq bu fikr ko‘plab iqtisodiy gullab-yashnayotgan, hayotning moddiy shakllarida mo‘l-ko‘lchilik va turmushda farovonlik mavjud bo‘lgan, lekin aslida eng orqada qolgan va inqirozga uchragan davlatlar qatorida bo‘lgan yurtlarning ko‘z oldida ko‘rinib turgan haqiqatiga zid keladi.

It could come to the mind that the Nahdah represents scientific progress, increased production, the abundance of factories and the use of technology and innovation in the material forms used in life with the consideration that the Nahdah only means progress and the moving of the society and people from one condition to a better one. This understanding reached the point to where some imagined that every land that experiences economic affluence is revived despite this statement being contradictory to the witnessed sensed reality in many of the lands that enjoy economic flourishing, abundance in the material forms of life and affluence in living whilst in reality being from amongst the most backward and declined countries.

Shu sababli, an-Nahdah ta'rifini berish, uning ma'nosini aniqlash va uni qanday qilib erishish mumkinligini bayon etish zarur. Ba'zilar da'vo qilganidek, bu ta'lim tarqalishi, boylik ko'payishi yoki kasalliklar va xastaliklarga qarshi kurashishmi? Va shu tushunchaga asoslanib, ular orqada qolishning sababi deb hisoblagan narsalar, ya'ni qashshoqlik, johillik va kasallik, bartaraf etilishi va yo'q qilinishi kerakmi?

For this reason it is necessary to give a definition of An-Nahdah, define its meaning and the manner of achieving it. Is it as some have claimed: the spread of education, the increase of riches or combating illnesses and diseases? And based on this understanding the reasons they claim to be the cause of backwardness i.e. Poverty, ignorance and disease need be cancelled out and removed?

Maktablar, o‘quv markazlari, universitetlar va barcha sohalarda yuqori darajadagi diplomga ega bo‘lgan bitiruvchilarning ko‘pligi mamlakatning yuksalishi dalilimi yoki u yuksalish yo‘lidami?

Is the abundance of schools, educational institutes, universities, large numbers of university graduates carrying higher certifications in all disciplines a proof of the revival of the country or that it is upon the path leading to revival?

Shuni aniq sezish mumkinki, ko'plab orqada qolgan mamlakatlar yuqori malakali bitiruvchilarning ko'pligi tufayli aziyat chekdi. Bu shu darajaga yetdiki, ular ularga og'ir yuk va bosim bo'lib qoldi, chunki ular bu bitiruvchilarni munosib daromad bilan ta'minlay olmadilar. Natijada bu bitiruvchilar o'z yurtlarini tark etib, rizqlarini boshqa joylardan izlashga majbur bo'ldilar. Bu esa ko'plab sohalardagi katta miqdordagi bitiruvchilar muammosini hal qilish uchun ta'lim siyosatini joriy etishni zarur qildi. Bu siyosat ma'lum foizdagi o'tish ko'rsatkichiga hamda aniq sonli qabul rejasiga asoslanadi, shunda bir kun kelib bo'limlar eshigi oldida ish yoki yashash manbai bo'ladigan lavozim izlab turgan bitiruvchilar ish bilan ta'minlanishi mumkin.

It can be clearly sensed that many of the backward countries have suffered due to the great number of graduates holding higher certifications. This has reached the point where they have become a burden and strain upon them and a heavy weight, as they have been unable to provide them with a dignified income which has compelled these graduates as a result to leave these lands and seek their Rizq (sustenance) elsewhere. This has made it necessary to implement an education policy to meet the challenge of the large number of graduates in a large number of fields and this is done through putting down a policy based on a specific percentage of passes in addition to a specific number of admissions to absorb those graduates who one day will be standing at the doors of the departments seeking work or a position that will provide them with a living.

Ko‘plab orqa qolgan deb hisoblanadigan va ular "uchinchi dunyo mamlakatlari" deb atagan davlatlardagi bitiruvchilar va oliy malakali kishilarning foizi eng ilg‘or mamlakatlardagi bitiruvchilar va oliy malakali kishilarning foizidan ancha yuqori. Darhaqiqat, sodir bo‘lgan narsa shuki, bu bitiruvchilar (musulmon yurtlaridan) dunyoning barcha burchaklariga, ayniqsa eng rivojlangan va ilg‘or davlatlarga chiqib ketdilar, ustiga-ustak, ularning ko‘pchiligi o‘sha chet el yurtlarida yashash uchun hatto o‘z fuqaroligidan voz kechdi.

The percentage of graduates and those carrying higher certifications in many of the lands that are considered to be backward and are categorised under what they have called third world countries is much greater than the percentage of graduates and those holding higher certifications found in the most progressive countries. Indeed what has happened is that these graduates (from the Muslim lands) have been exported to all corners of the world and particularly to the most revived and progressive states and on top of that many of them have even given up their nationalities in order to live in those foreign lands.

Shunday ekan, uchinchi dunyo mamlakatlaridan (ya'ni bizning islom olamimiz yurtlaridan) biror yurtni tekshirib ko'rsak, aql-idrokni hayratga soladigan va aqlli kishilarni hayron qoldiradigan holatni ko'ramiz. Masalan, Misr, Pokiston, Iordaniya, Suriya yoki Turkiyani olaylik, va boshqalarni ham, shu davlatlarning farzandlaridan o'nlab minglab kishilar tibbiyot, fizika, muhandislik, kimyo, atom tadqiqotlari va texnologiya sohalarida, barcha yo'nalishlarda yuqori ilmiy darajalarga ega ekanini ko'rasiz. Ular o'z yurtlarini tark etib, rizq topish manbai izlab ketganlar va shu sababli ko'plari Amerikada, Germaniyada hamda rivojlangan va taraqqiy etgan boshqa millatlar yurtlarida, shuningdek dunyoning boshqa mamlakatlarida joylashib qolganlar.

Therefore if we examine for example any land from amongst the lands of the third world (i.e. the lands of our Islamic world) then we would see that which amazes the minds and baffles those of understanding. Take for example Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, Syria or Turkey amongst others and you will find that tens of thousands of the sons of these states hold higher certifications in education and across all areas including medicine, physics, engineering, chemistry, atom studies and technological areas. They have left their lands and gone in search for a source of sustenance and as such many have settled in America, Germany and many other lands from amongst the revived and progressive nations in addition to other lands in the world.

Bu masala ko‘plab bahs-munozaralarga sabab bo‘ldi va ko‘plab yozuvchi hamda mutafakkirlar buni quyidagi kabi sarlavhalar ostida yoritdilar: “Pishgan aqllar o‘g‘irlandi” yoki “Aqllarning aql egalari yurtiga uchishi” yoki “Amerika pul bilan bizning aqllarimizni sotib oldi”, shunga o‘xshash boshqa darajada qizg‘in sarlavha va unvonlar bilan. Shunga qaramay, bu aqllar va shuncha ko‘p bitiruvchilar ummatni uyg‘otish va uni yuksaltirishga qodir bo‘lmadilar.

This issue has given rise to many points of discussion and many writers and thinkers have spoken about it under titles such as: ‘The ripe minds have been stolen’ or ‘The flight of the minds to the land of the minds’ or ‘America has bought our minds with money’ amongst other similarly provocative headings and titles. Despite this, these minds and this plentiful number of graduates have been incapable of reviving the Ummah and elevating her.

Bu davlatlarga oddiygina nazar solsak, ularda cheksiz miqdordagi xom ashyo, tabiiy boyliklar va ishchi kuch mavjudligini ko‘ramiz. Buni qisqacha shunday ifodalash mumkin: ‘Ular Alloh taolo ato etgan ne’matlar va Uning maxsus tanlagan lutflari jihatidan dunyoning eng boy qismidir’. Shunga qaramay, ular haddan tashqari qashshoqlikda yashaydi va og‘ir qarz yukining ostida ezilmoqda, hatto oldingi qarzlarning foizini to‘lash uchun yangi qarz olishga majbur bo‘lmoqda. Ular o‘zlaridan talab qilinganini ado eta olmaydi va qarz jadvalini qayta ko‘rib chiqishni doimiy ravishda talab qiladi, shu sababli bir inqiroz tugamasdan oldin yanada kattaroq yangi inqiroz boshlanadi va vaziyat avvalgidan ham yomonlashadi.

By taking a simple look at these states we find within them an abundance of raw materials, natural resources and manpower which is beyond words and we can summarise this in the summarized statement: ‘They represent the richest part of the world in terms of what Allah has granted it with and the favours that he has specifically chosen for it’. In spite of this they suffer from extreme poverty and languish under the heavy burden of debts to the point that it borrows more just to pay the interest on the previous loans. They are unable to fulfil what is demanded from them and persist upon demanding revisions to the loan schedule so that one crisis does not end before a new one begins which is even greater and the situation becomes worse than before.

Bu holatning sababi ikki narsadan biridan ortiq emas: yo ummat ishlari bilan mas'ul bo'lganlarning nahda ma'nosi va uni erishish yo'li haqidagi jaholatidir, shuning uchun ular siyosatlarida va xalq ishlarini boshqarishda tasodifan adashib yuradilar; yoki ular faqat o'z xo'jayinlarining vakillari va o'z ummatlariga xoin bo'lib, xalqni bo'ysundirish va yerlarni xo'jayinlari uchun unumdor zamin, ochiq kon va keng bozor holida saqlash vazifasini bajaradilar, ular esa xo'jayinlari tomonidan xalq ustidan hokimiyat lavozimlariga qo'yilgan. Bu ikkisining birlashmasi ham bo'lishi mumkin: ularning jaholati qullik va xo'jayinlariga vakillik bilan qo'shilgan holda.

The reason for this does not go beyond one of two matters: It is either the ignorance of those who are responsible for the Ummah’s affairs, in regards to the meaning of Nahdah and the way of achieving it, so they stumble about randomly in their policies and caretaking of the people’s affairs. Or they are merely agents to their masters and traitors to their Ummah whose job is to tame the people and keep the lands a fertile ground, open mine and vast market for their masters who placed them in the positions of authority over the people. They could also be a combination of the two matters combining their ignorance to their servitude and agency to their masters.

Shunga ko'ra, Nahdani (nahda) nima ekanini, u qanday asoslarga tayanishini va uning amalga oshishiga olib boradigan yo'lni tushunish zarur.

In light of this it is necessary to understand what the Nahdah is, the foundations that it is established upon and the path that leads to its achievement.
