Global Crisis & Solutions
A Divine Path to Peace in a Fractured World.
Hossain Mohammad Salim on the Global Crisis & Its Divine Solution
Amidst escalating political conflicts in Bangladesh and devastating wars globally, Hossain Mohammad Salim argues that the root of this chaos lies in the failure of the dominant Western Materialistic Civilization. He posits that humanity's only path to true peace is to return to a divine way of life.
The Failure of Materialistic Civilization
He points out that the same civilization boasting of technological marvels is responsible for two world wars, countless other conflicts, and a world held hostage by 20,000 nuclear bombs.
- Global peace is fragile, maintained by fear of mutual destruction.
- Imperialist economies thrive on a multi-trillion-dollar arms trade.
- The UN and human rights laws have failed to stop wars and injustice.
The Spiritual & Social Void
The soulless materialism of the current system has led to spiritual degradation, a fractured world of conflicting nation-states, and unprecedented economic inequality.
- Revolutions promising liberty and equality have led to more conflict.
- Democracy has often devolved into dictatorship and corruption.
- Humanity is on the brink of environmental self-destruction.
The Path to a Divine Solution
He argues that the only viable solution is to adopt a way of life provided by the Creator—one that fosters spiritual growth and ensures social justice for all.
- Acknowledge one Creator and one human family.
- Follow divine guidance as brought by all Messengers.
- Embrace a simple, unified system of life to restore global peace.
A World in Turmoil
From Man-Made Chaos to Divine Order
The Failure of Man-Made Systems: In recent times, Bangladesh and the world have been engulfed by severe conflicts. This chaos is a direct result of the Western Materialistic Civilization, which, despite its scientific advancements, has given humanity two world wars and a perpetual state of conflict driven by the arms trade. The UN and human rights laws have proven ineffective. Global peace is a fragile illusion, maintained only by the fear of mutual nuclear annihilation, not by morality or justice.
The Need for Spiritual and Social Reform: The current system has led to spiritual degradation, a world fractured into conflicting nation-states, and extreme economic inequality. The grand promises of historical revolutions—liberty, equality, fraternity, peace—have all failed, leading instead to more oppression, racism, and suffering. Democracy itself has often devolved into dictatorship. Humanity is now on the brink of destroying the very planet it calls home.
The Call for a Divine Solution: The solution to these man-made crises must come from a source beyond man. It is time to return to a way of life provided by the Creator. We must acknowledge that there is one Creator, one human family, and that all people have equal rights to the earth's resources. Throughout history, Messengers have brought this divine guidance, and peace has prevailed whenever humanity has adhered to it.
Hezbut Tawheed's Vision for Global Unity: Unfortunately, the teachings of the last Messenger have been distorted, and Islam is now wrongly associated with extremism. We must make it clear that true Islam is not a doctrine of terrorism. The good news is that we have received a simple way of life from the Creator that can bring humanity back from destruction. This ideology, advocated by the respected, law-abiding, and non-political movement of Hezbut Tawheed, has been presented across Bangladesh for 29 years, and millions have embraced it. We invite all of humanity to embrace this ideology and work together to build a world where security, prosperity, justice, and peace prevail under a unified system of life.
