What is the problem with the Muslim community?

Our present general dilemma is caused by:

1)      Confusion and error in knowledge, creating the condition for:
2)      The loss of Adab within the Community. The condition arising out of (1) and (2) is:
3)      The rise of leadership who are not qualified for valid leadership of the Muslim community, who do not process the high moral, intellectual and spiritual standards required for Islamic leadership, who perpetuate the condition in (1) above and ensure the continued control of the affairs of the Community by leaders like them who dominate in all fields

Loss of Adab means loss of discipline – the discipline of body, mind and soul, the proper place in relation to one’s self, society and Community; the recognition and acknowledgement of one’s proper place in relation to one’s physical, intellectual, and spiritual capacities and potentials; the recognition and acknowledgement of the fact that knowledge and being are ordered hierarchically
