WE HAVE TO CONFESS THIS BITTER FACT

WE HAVE TO CONFESS THIS BITTER FACT
We have to confess this bitter fact and admit that the reason of this weakness and decadence among Muslims despite having such sublime program is our failure to understand the spirit and essence of the heavenly teachings of Islam.

THE FAULT LIES WITH US
As a matter of fact, we have not understood the essence of Islam, accepted it whole-heartedly, or introduced the attractive image of it to the world. Yes, we have to admit this fact humbly. Perhaps God will forgive us for our confession. We are called Muslims while our individual or social ways of living do not conform to the true essence of Islam. Beyond doubt, the responsibility of us, Muslims, before God, Islam, and the Holy Quran is extremely great. Presenting a distorted image of Islam and introducing Hajj as useless are sins subjected to punishment.
