Since the Islamic Ummah is entrusted with carrying the Islamic da’wa to the whole mankind, it is thus indispensable for Muslims to stay in contact with the world. Where they comprehend its circumstances, understand its problems, are aware of the motives of its states and nations and pursue the political actions that take place in the world. In this context, they have to pay attention to the political plans of the states in terms of the styles they use for the execution of such plans, the relations between these states, and the political manoeuvres they use. Therefore, it is indispensable for Muslims to understand the reality of the situation in the Islamic world in the light of understanding the international situation. This is vital for them in their pursuit to establish the Islamic state, and to convey the da’wa to the world.
