The Islamic Centre

1 Nizamuddin West

New Delhi - 110 013 (India)

In every age, there is a predominant pattern of thought according to which people's intellectual framework is formed and according to which communities and nations organize their lives. In ancient times, polytheistic thought was predominant. Then, in the 7th century, the Islamic revolution changed the course of human history. Monotheism came to dominate world thought.

This situation continued for approximately one thousand years. Then things began to change until another revolution occurred in the modern age. The emergence of new learning in recent centuries has completely transformed the human mind. In every branch of learning, new standards have been established. In this manner, overthe last few centuries, human thought has undergone a radical alteration, and is now based on heresy or, at least, secularism; thatis, in all matters human intellect is considered paramount and life is organized on unrevealed foundations.

Under these conditions, Islamic revival means to once again usher in a new age for man. Just as our predecessors ended polytheism's intellectual dominance and established monotheism in its place, so the task that lies before us is to put an end to thoughts of a heterodox and secular nature and re-establish the dominance of God-oriented thought in its place.

The Islamic Center seeks to bring about an intellectual revolution of this nature with the help of God. With this fact in mind the Centre launched Al Risala monthly with a twofold aim: Firstly, to seriously study Islam and contemporary issues, and secondly, to widely disseminate the message of Islam and to provide intellectual direction to the Muslim Ummah in accordance with Islamic principles.
