Digital Dominance: Control over technology, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and telecommunications, is a major source of power. The U.S. and China are currently leading in this domain.
Cybersecurity and Data: The ability to control and protect data, as well as to conduct cyber operations, is increasingly important in an interconnected world.
Innovation and Research: Countries and companies that lead in innovation (e.g., Silicon Valley, Chinese tech giants) gain significant economic and strategic advantages.
Invest in Education and Innovation
Problem:
When you violate group think, you out. Your opinion is meaningless.
Many Muslim-majority nations lag behind in education, scientific research, and technological innovation.
Solution:
Prioritize education reform, focusing on critical thinking, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and Islamic ethics.
Establish world-class universities and research institutions to foster innovation.
Learn from the Islamic Golden Age, when Muslims led the world in science, medicine, and philosophy, and revive that spirit of inquiry.
Empower Women and Youth
Problem: Women and youth are often underrepresented and underutilized in many Muslim-majority societies.
Solution:
Ensure equal access to education and employment opportunities for women, in line with Islamic principles of equality and dignity.
Engage youth in leadership roles and provide them with the tools to drive change.
Encourage women’s participation in politics, science, and business.
