Wake up…………

 

In a deeply powerful and emotional address at the AI & the Muslim Community Conference 2025,
Wajid Akhtar, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), delivers an urgent call to action for Muslims worldwide.
Reflecting on the historical contributions Muslims made to science, technology, and civilization, Wajid asks the critical question:
“How did we go from pioneers to punchlines?”
He highlights how disunity has held back the Muslim Ummah, leaving us spectators to technological revolutions rather than leaders.
Speaking passionately about the suffering of Muslims globally, particularly in Gaza, he emphasizes that unity is the key to reversing our current state.
He urges Muslims not to miss the ongoing Artificial Intelligence revolution, calling for proactive engagement, leadership, and unity in shaping AI according to Islamic ethics and global benefit.
A must-watch speech for all those who care deeply about the future of the Muslim community, humanity, and the ethical implications of AI.
Presented at Millennium Point, Birmingham, hosted by the Muslim Council of Britain.
