The age-old dream of the human caravan is not to send astronauts in their orbit in outer space.. it is to send its individuals - every single individual in his orbit of self-realization. It is high time that this dream be thus reinterpreted. It is also the sacred duty of every man and woman to help intelligently reorientate human endeavour towards the culmination of this pilgrimage.

Sudan is the center of the Cosmos

I proclaim that Islam is the kiblah* of the world from today, and that Quran is its Law. As Sudan presents this law in a pragmatic way, which combines the need of society for security with that of the individual for absolute freedom, it is the center of the cosmos on this planet. No one should deem this saying as an exaggeration for the mere fact that Sudan is ignorant, obscure and small, as Allah’s Providence has preserved in its people the originality of good nature, which will make them the interface of Earth and Heaven.
