Letter to the Editor
Quotations from Rumi and Iqbal: Truly universal and humanistic. Keep it up!

Dear Sultan Shahin sahib, (Editor, New Age Islam)

Assalamu Alaikum,

Hope you are fine. I am glad to see your website ‘New Age Islam’ forwarded by a friend. Please accept my congratulations for this wonderful initiative especially from South Asian Muslims.

Being part of an international team of editors from different parts of the world and living and working from Pakistan, I can understand fully how stressful it can be some time when people do not try to see the bigger picture and misunderstand the spirit of such initiatives. But these are the challenges we must face in order to bring about a change in ghetto thinking. By the way, I enjoyed thoroughly the quotations from Rumi andIqbal that you provided in the intro of your website. Truly universal and humanistic. Keep it up.


Indeed it’s our responsibility to do our bit to correct and improve the perceptions about Islam and Muslims in the world. I feel cooperating with each other in such endeavours for reaching out to larger audiences both Muslims and non-Muslims alike goes a long way for establishing good relations between Muslims and the West.
