A comment about something very domestic - Muslimah - 08-22-2005
Bismillah
as salam alykom
Watching TV, streets full of banners in preparation for the presidential elections which will take place in Egypt after a long time of not practicing this, looking at the programs introduced by the nominees, I just kept thinking la hawla wala qowata ila billah.
None of the nominees, of course is presenting a Quran and Sunnah based program.
Ironically, during the last decade Egypt exported democracy concepts such as sound internal governance, accountability, transparency and circulation of authority, advocacy (which is actually Dawa)..etc.
Such concepts are the core of interest in most of the recent USAID projects in Egypt. O I forgot the hot topics of human and children rights.
These practices are introduced in the form of full textual explanation, relevant trainings thru workshops, means of application in all fields and on all levels.
We did export them, yes, working hard to apply them. Moreover, such USAID projects work hard to proceed with the usual stages of monitoring and evaluation in order to ensure success of the project.
We never tried to open our book and export what is in it. Our book, the Quran is more than sufficient to ensure that such favored practices and even better ones are followed and applied in any Muslim country. But la hawla wala qowata ila billah. We only look highly at them when we export them from American literature.
I don’t think I have anything else to say.
