We must look at ourselves internally because of the great fitnah we are going through today. Quoting the famous Quranic verse, "Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change that which is in themselves", Abdullah Hakim Quick suggests that we all have to do "house-cleaning" amongst ourselves, which is known as tajdid (the revival of Islam).

A good starting point for this is a text dealing with this matter by a balanced 20th Century scholar by the name of Muhammad Al-Ameen Ash-Shanqeeti, which Sheikh Quick uses as an outline for this presentation. This respected West-African scholar provides ten great issues upon which the entire world revolves and which Muslims should be aware of if they are to begin this ambitious task of revival.
