An Interview of Dr. Ahmad Totonji
The future of Islam in Bangladesh is extremely bright. Bangladeshi people are Muslims and they are not just Muslims but they are willing to sacrifice for their religion. Islam is their religion and their way of life. They would like to be ruled by the principles which they agreed. Therefore, we could not be surprised if sometime people choose for themselves to adopt the Islamic principles in their government as well. This is a democratic process. When people want something they vote for it and the whole world is approaching towards this kind of work. Future of Islamic movement in Bangladesh is bright because they have always been in the middle path. They do not believe in extremism. They go excess is no way. That is why you can see that when some problems happen by extremists, Islamic movement are the first people to disagree with it. Because their path is different and these people try to win

Stagnation of Thought: The Way Out
How the ummah, the Muslim community that once ruled the waves and flourished in all branches of thought declined. The ummah today shows a sharp contrast between its present and its past, for just as yesterday Muslims were strong, victorious and indomitable, basking in scientific progress, pioneering in development and booming renaissance; today Muslims are isolated, divided, weakened, and demoralized- so overwhelmed are the Muslims by a debilitating feeling of powerlessness that they stand as spectator, expectant but incapable of effecting any change. This chronic crisis of helplessness has brought the Muslims to a point where they have degraded themselves, their rights denied and their just causes defeated. Consequently Muslim world today stands undeniably at a crossroad where it must embark upon self-examination- a systematic, objective, balanced and rational assessment of its present reality aimed at working internal reform

A Critical Review of Approaches to Islamizing Knowledge in a Muslim Minority Country
Ever since the contemporary Islamization of knowledge programme became operational, many world conferences on Islamic education have been organized, the seventh of which was concluded in Malaysia in December 2009.
