Our Muslim Ummah (nation) was hoping to get rid of all past problems and reasons for disunity and dissension, especially with the gradual growth of Islamic awakening all over the Muslim world. This was the hope of the Ummah despite all the serious events that were about to ruin its wealth, devastate the interests of its peoples, and threaten its Din (religion) strongly, and despite the bitter trials that the Ummah witnessed during the current century that led to the destruction of many parts of the Ummah's body. Nevertheless, the tyrant of Iraq killed such hope in Muslims' hearts by attacking Kuwait unjustly and continuously trying to increase reasons for dissension and disagreement amongst people of the Ummah to take it many years backwards. Thus, it is greatly important, under these challenges that the Ummah faces, to hold a conversation with His Eminence Shaykh `Abdul `Aziz Bin `Abdullah Ibn Baz, Chairman of the Departments of Scholarly Research, Ifta', Daw`ah, and Guidance. This is because such a conversation reflects the view of one of the most prominent scholars of the Ummah on the events it currently faces or has faced during this century. In this conversation, our eminent Shaykh observes the reality of the situation, defines the reasons and factors that led to the weakness that the Ummah suffers from, and tells about the effective remedy for getting rid of these burdens and worries that hinder its progress. `Ukazh thus introduces this comprehensive conversation that it held with the eminent Shaykh to shed light on all the foregoing along with some other points that concern Muslims nowadays:
