Todays Muslim is lost. Lost not in the mundane world or the world of illusions.

Lost in the numerous & diverse interpretations of Islam & Quran in particular. Not only there are numerous & diverse interpretations but even contradictory to each other. As a Muslim we dont know which interpretation to imbibe & mould into our actions. No doubt Islam is Bar Haq. But is it worthwhile to stick to the interpretations of Islam & Quran, which made its stronghold in the 7th century Arabia? Doesnt Islam have something of the air of the desert to it? Doesnt the geographical factor & the culture of Arabia should be kept into continuous contemplation while understanding Islam? There are innumerable queries erupting in the todays Muslim s mind. Some says that such doubts & talks are heresy. But what is faith founded by strangling doubts? Whenever the hold of Faith weakens doubts erupts. Through the long & tedious journey of doubt we can arrive at the oasis of faith. Faith is culmination of doubts & not contradictory to it. Doubts are the roots & Faith is the flower. Iqbal had said that if Muslims were one & united it would not have been a miracle. Because Muslims have One Quran, One Prophet, & One Allah. But it is a miracle that in spite of these truths Muslims arent united. We at InMuco are attempting to bring all the Muslims from all the directions together. It isnt an easy task. We arent preaching a new sect. There are so many to choose from. Our attempt is to bring out the common factor binding all these sects. So that these sects look like parts or organs of a unified body i.e. Islam. Contradictions give color & beauty to life. There is nothing profane about it. We at InMuco believe that economic backwardness isnt the prominent problem before todays Muslims. It is a problem that can be tackled properly when Muslims are UNITED. It is an irony. All the sects are Islamic sects. But still an effort is required to unify them. All the sects have beauty of their own. Distinction isnt hierarchical. Muslims need to understand the foundations of different sects. Through understanding only; unity can be accomplished. We are talking about a live & throbbing unity. Not dull & dead unity. All dead things are alike & colorless. Only life is colorful & pulsating. We need live Islam. With all contradictions & paradoxes; but still united. United in the sense that not oozing out hatred towards each other & as the final instance; humanity at large. Islamic education in the todays context is an urgent requirement. Interpretation of Islam must be contemporary. What Quran revealed before fourteen centuries was appropriate for that clime & period. Muslims should ask whether the same interpretations are appropriate today also. And if the answer is in negative we should sharpen our acumen to interpret it afresh & in a unifying manner.
