“…and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who put their trust (in Him).” Al-Quran, Al-Imran (The Family of Imran) [3:159]

Think for surely thinking profits the thinker[s].”―Prophet Muhammed (S)

“We should have a studious group…studying our history and present circumstances…they should be predicting what we have to face 20, 30, 40 years from now.”—Imam W. Deen Mohammed”

“What if?” The difference between a dream and a vision…

You’re invited to take the CWSC “What it?” Community-Wide Brainstorm Challenge! In less than a few minutes of creativity and with a desire to change the world into a better place, you can take us on an intellectual journey into the future to see the world as it can be. We’re using “What if?” to engage our group intellect and to benefit from it’s inherent capacity in a way we’ve never done before.

We’re capturing intellectual energy that might otherwise lie dormant, and placing your ideas front and center before the entire group intellect. Here’s what you need to do participate:

First, take a tour of CWSC; become familiar with the site’s content, and while you’re touring, take the important step of registering as a valued resource for our entire Community. Then submit your “What if” representing your community vision, aspiration, or goal, in the form of a newspaper headline. State your “What if” as though it has already happened. You can stop with just a main headline or continue on reporting firsthand on your vision of an accomplishment you’d like to see in our future.

End your headline with “What if.”

Here’s an example of a “What if” headline:

―American Muslims Study Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
CWSC Issues White Paper to Leading U.S. Think Tanks and Ambassadors

NATIONAL ― A progressive faith-based think tank, known as the Community Wide Shuraa Conference or CWSC is preparing its Office of International Relations to lead a delegation to the Middle East and into the heartland of conflict. Why? Its leaders say, to deliver and discuss the organization’s recently released white paper, A Road to Peace: Recognizing our Human Rights First.

…What if? 

Share as many What if’s as you like on any topic or issue domestic or international. You don’t have to figure out a plan to make the headline a reality. That’s for all of us to ponder on together as we form focus teams throughout the country. This is our chance to envision what the future can be, no matter how far ahead we want to be or where we are now.

So have some fun with this project. Be imaginative and unconstrained by a perceived lack of resources, people, finances, or other obstacles that stand as ghosts blocking the path of achievement. Our Lord is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful and the Owner of everything!

The first step to bringing an idea into material reality is when the pen intersects the paper. Go ahead, pick up your pen and take us on your intellectual journey of creativity and model community excellence…together we can remake the world.
