Abstract

Although Muslim states cover large areas of land, sufficient water for cultivation and irrigation, copious rain and suitable climate for all types of agricultures, yet, majority of Muslim nations live in Poverty, hunger, toil and economic backwardness.

In addition, Muslim states are rich with substantial minerals like oil, iron, coal, gas, copper, gold and silver which suffice to make them affluent in the world and be on the list of states with highest exports; that is not the case. Even though, they have the infrastructure in place, majority of Muslim states import wheat and food items/edibles from other states, thus, leading to political and economic dependency.

This paper attempts to invite attention of the Muslims towards an obligation they inherited from their ancestors: leading their nations to prosperity, revival of their lands and utilization of the resources they have. The paper concludes that it’s an obligation for Muslims to sincerely strive for achieving these goals and thus dust-off humiliation they have to cope with individually and collectively as Muslim nation.
