ABOUT THE BOOK

My Heart Pains When I Notice The Marginalised Majority Of  The Muslims Of the Entire World, Particularly Muslims Of The Developing And Under Developed Countries desirous  For Name, Fame And Power. Unlike Other Communities Personnel. They Are Found Standing Mute Spectators Before The Elite, Well Educated, Well-Established People. I Notice Heart- throbbing Under the Rags-That Could Not, Due To, Different Reasons, Find an Ideal Background to Make Their Destiny. The Muslims Have Become A Lurking Iceberg Melting And Losing Its Existence For Ever.

The Fragile Jack Pot Of Past Muslim Rulers And Elites Could Not Help Them Stand On Their Own Wheels. The Guardians And Messiahs, Since Then Till Now, Neglected The Poor Muslims, Before Their Bona Fide Self-Interest. These Predestined, Poverty Ridden Muslims Were Thrown in the Deep Trench of fate From Where They Could Not Rise Or Recover And died Unknown, Uncelebrated. The Parameters of Prosperity Encircled Only A Few Muslims States around The World The Ones Who Were Born With A Silver Spoon In Their mouths Lived An Epicurean Life of Eating, Drinking And Merry-Making.

The Bird That Could Not get Opportunity, due to malnutrition, Could Not Fly with the Other Birds and Fell down with the Wings Crippled.
