Muslims will never build an Apple, Microsoft or Netflix. Not because we lack intelligence. But because we lack infrastructure, unity and long-term vision.
In this powerful episode, Dr Wajid Akther, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, unpacks the uncomfortable truth about our community. We have billion-pound mosque extensions, domes and carpets. Yet our children are inhaling laughing gas on the streets. We raise money for short-term projects but we do not invest in the human capital and institutions that could secure our future.
Dr Wajid argues that the real battleground is not money, but mindset. We chase donations instead of building systems. We boycott Starbucks but fail to create the next Starbucks. We dream of stars on the pitch, not the ones who own the stadium.
The Muslim Pound is more than economic power. It is vision, sacrifice and unity. If we do not prioritise these, we will always remain consumers of other people’s ideas instead of producers of our own.
This is a wake-up call for every Muslim in Britain. Stay, build and sacrifice. Only a united community with infrastructure, ambition and faith can change the course of history.
