SOIS (Society of Iqbal Studies) presents
The Power of Consensus
How are our personal opinions related to opinions of the society, and do we lose or win by respecting this connection? What are the types of consensus and how do we recognize them? Why do we need to recognize them? Are there existing sources of moral power which we have failed to utilize? How can we empower ourselves with the least effort?
These are some of the core issues of Iqbal Studies that will be addressed in a two-hour session conducted by Khurram Ali Shafique, Research Consultant, Iqbal Academy Pakistan.

Just before seeing this post by Khurram Ali Shafique Sahib, I made a draft to include some items from this discussion in a new post.
Also, I plan to include excerpts on a great father as well as writer from his son, Dr. Ahmad Safi, who wrote a magnificant Intro to the 1st English edition of his father's "House of Fear". So,do look for this in various places.
Yes, I realize that I'm not the right one to be writing about this author - at least not for awhile. Yet, soon I will finally be able to read first Safi book in English and Urdu together (for a learning tool as well as keen interest)...
So I will merely become just another fan and now it's your turn.
Perhaps the stage has been set for each and all of us to explore our earlier literature for keys to living now.
And the stage is alive - waiting for YOU to remember these "fading keys" and their writers - even their documentary-makers. Now it is YOUR turn to tell about them - yet most of all to provide these KEYS in a way that others will understand their meaning for this era...
YOU are now joining us in helping to remake the nation and the world to come. YOU are the vital ones now and for the future.
