Hawzah News Agency- Speaking at the third international conference "Be'that of the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH)," held Wednesday by the Global Qademoun Assembly, Khan stressed the standing of the Islamic Ummah in the world, saying: "Muslims across Africa, Asia, Europe, America and Australia are one single Ummah, and they bear a responsibility toward humanity."
Referring to the Quranic concept of the "middle Ummah," he said: "The Islamic Ummah is neither materialistic — reducing all of life to this world — nor does it turn away from worldly life. Rather, it must strike a balance between this world and the Hereafter, and strive to build a good society and preserve it."
Khan added: "Just as the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was a mercy to all the worlds, Muslims too must be a source of mercy for humanity and play a role in solving people's problems."
The Indian Jamiat-e Islami deputy chief identified the environment and environmental crises as the first arena of the Islamic Ummah's responsibility, stating: "Preserving the order of creation, attending to plants, seas, air and water, and working to create a better environment for human life are among the responsibilities of Muslims."
Turning to social issues, he stressed the need to strengthen the family and reform social structures, saying society must be organized in a way that makes a dignified life possible for all human beings.
Khan also addressed global economic problems, stating: "Today there is abundant wealth in the world, but a large portion of it is in the hands of a limited number of people, and as a result, the gap between rich and poor has widened. The just distribution of wealth and the fight against poverty are among the most important services to humanity."
He identified the political sphere as the fourth arena of the Islamic Ummah's responsibility, stressing the need for just leadership and adding: "In Islam's view, true sovereignty belongs to God, and all human beings enjoy equal human dignity and worth. Therefore, justice and equality must be upheld for all people — Muslim and non-Muslim alike."
In conclusion, Khan stressed the Islamic Ummah's responsibility in the face of oppression and injustice, saying: "The Muslim Ummah must be a source of mercy, justice, and resistance to oppression and injustice. If Muslims fail to carry out their responsibility properly, the consequences will not affect Muslims alone — all of humanity will suffer, and this responsibility will also be questioned before God."
