A journey of discovery

The challenge we all face today is what sort of life we want to live with others. Some believe that future peace depends on how the world understands and responds to Islam today, and lives with Muslims as neighbours.

In this story, Imam Abduljalil Sajid recounts his own journey from a divided world to a world where co-operation and better understanding prevails.

His encounter with Initiatives of Change has made possible a deeper teamwork with people of other cultures and faiths and the finding of common ground in tackling the moral needs of our society.

As Ambassador Mohamed Sahnoun has said, ‘We can change ourselves so that we can create an environment of peace. We must learn to really listen to each other.’
