Why We Need To Change Muslim GroupsThe Key to Freeing Our Ummah

Page 2: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

“You may delay, but time will

not.” Benjamin Franklin

Page 3: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

I want you to consider something...

Page 4: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Can one poor man alone overthrow the system of rich men who keep him in this

state?

Page 5: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Can one man alone, without aid, protest against injustice and stop the system that created an army of pro-war politicians, and who teach a new generation

to follow in their footsteps?

Page 6: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

It is not one or two men that oppose you...

Page 7: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

But hundreds of organisations, institutions and systems made up of tens of

thousands of men just like that...

Page 8: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Those people and their organisations use politics to ensure their agenda is carried

out, no matter who is in power...

Page 9: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Then why you do think that you alone can stop the organised billion pound machine

that demonises and wages war against you without waking your people and

organisations up?

Page 10: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Only when brave leaders in the past started to wake up their community to see the problem, and teach them to stand up against an organised system of oppression, did this educated community take up

resistance and fight the tide of oppression that enslaved them

Page 11: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

• For if they have millions who oppose us, we have billions who are with us

• And if they have a thousand organisations, educating, organising and planning to attack us, we too have our own countless organisations and groups working to defend us…

Page 12: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

But in reality, despite the number of Muslim groups and their manpower and

funds, they are NOT part of the struggle

to protect us

Page 13: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

They talk about Islam, but never protect those who follow it...

Page 14: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And that is why we need reform

Page 15: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Worse still, time is not on our side

Page 16: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Our community must be strong enough and capable to defend itself

Page 17: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And change before the demonisation that they spread about us means that it’s too late to change the opinion of the wider public...

Page 18: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Propaganda also means young Muslims are enslaved by fear and self-hate

induced by the Media

Page 19: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

So with all urgency we must spread the message of reform, and demand our leaders to not just talk about Islam, but to stand up

for it

Page 20: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

To educate and to organise our people

Page 21: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

So we have 3 Battles Ahead

Our own groupsOur own peopleOur enemies

Page 22: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Remember something: No change happens without opposition -

ever

Page 23: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

“I know that societies often have killed the people who have helped to change these societies.

And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help to destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America – then...

...all of the credit is due to Allah, Only the mistakes have been mine.”

Malcolm X

Page 24: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

“It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and mortal persecution.”

Mahatma Gandhi

Page 25: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

At first the people who you seek to help will oppose you, for their leadership does not want reform and fear any

change

Page 26: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And the people without any understanding mostly follow them

Page 27: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

But Allah is with those who believe

and enjoin the right

Page 28: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help!"

Surah 4 (Surah An-Nisa), Verse 75

Page 32: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

If Muslims don't notice your message, you have already lost

Get it on the agenda

Get people talking!

Page 33: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

To catch the attention of distracted people to focus

on a single issue use

The Big Bang

Theory

Page 34: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups
Page 35: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

BANG

Page 36: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Can you ignore this message?

Page 37: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

The shocking power of an image to focus the mind on global warming

Page 38: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Or an act that makes the public sit up and listen...

Page 39: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups
Page 40: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Rosa Parks sits on the ‘white-only’ section of the bus – she used this tactic to force society to think

Page 41: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

All of those groups used a dramatic example that forces people into thinking...

And got their message talked about…

Page 42: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

TWO: Keep it on the agenda

Page 43: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Keeping it there:If you think people are going to

change after noticing your message once...you have too

much faith in people.

Why do you think adverts are played over and over again?

Page 44: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

The Media uses this too Have you never thought why they keep

creating fear stories about Muslims?

Page 45: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Not quite convinced?

Look again...

Page 46: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups
Page 47: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups
Page 48: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

3.Moving it up the agenda

Page 49: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

For change to happen in society it has to be in the top conversation areas amongst

Muslims...

If you managed to make it into the top 10...Well done, now

keep the pressure up

Page 50: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Pressure is like the wind, as soon as it

stops, the ship stops moving

Page 52: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups
Page 53: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

If you don’t create an urgency about your idea and it’s not seen as

a priority then this is what will happen...

Page 54: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

“I have more important things to do! This can wait”

Lesson: If the public do not understand how

important and urgent the change is – you may as

well add 50 years to any reform you want to see...

Page 56: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Step 5 : Counter the opposing argument

Page 57: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

In a battle of opposing ideas, only one will win

Page 58: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

They either listen to you or the other person’s argument

Page 59: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

“Voting is not important...”

Page 60: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Any idea that challenges your reform must be countered

If it is not, then all your work is undone by the other side who will seek to convince them that your idea is

wrong...

Page 61: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Remember silence never changed a single mind, nor guided a single soul...

Page 62: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Darkness is countered only by light

Page 63: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And falsehood can only be

countered by truth

Page 64: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

"Invite to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them

in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He

is the Best Aware of those who are guided."

[al-Qur'aan, an-Nisaa'(16):125]

Page 65: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

"Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent

down, after We have made it clear for the people in the book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and

cursed by the cursers."

[al-Qur'aan, al-Baqara(2):159]

Page 66: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

With regards to the reward, the Prophet has said: "Whoever guides [another] to a good deed will get a reward similar to the one who performs it." [Saheeh Muslim]

Page 67: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

The reform we want is only to protect and uplift the Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) Ummah, and to free the Ummah from the shackles of slavery...

Page 68: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good,

enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong. And it is they who are

successful." [al-Qur'aan, Aal `Imraan (3):104]

Page 69: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

By Allah we will be free...

Page 70: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

Let us spread our call for reform far and wide, until all the Muslim groups and teachers of this earth, teach the young to defend our sisters and brothers around the world, and once

again bring freedom to a people too long oppressed

Page 71: Why We Need To Change Muslim Groups

And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.

Al Quran Chapter 4 Verse 75
