The Group Intellect Responds to “What if?”
“And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.” Al-Quran, [45:13]
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”
We asked you to take the “What if” Community-Wide Brainstorming Challenge and share with all of us a “headline” into the future…a future unimpeded by the word “can’t.” The required format was to state your headline and even go further if you desired to and to report on it as though you were there witnessing and recording it firsthand. The headline would end with “What if?” And here was the sample or demo “What if” headline we offered as an example:
―American Muslims Study Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

That’s for all of us to ponder on together as we form focus teams throughout the country.

Finally got the future’s voicemail; it said: “If you want to reach me, take me off hold in the present.” Stay engaged actively as a CWSC Volunteer and encourage another heart and intellect to “Get involved” and help remake the world.
