This presentation on ¡®The Call for Islamization of Modern Psychology¡¯ elucidates the nature and focus of psychology in the West and Muslim world. Since the West has gone through a period of shifting of paradigms in its views on man and psychology, and the fact that there exist a myriad of schools in psychology, the presenters would like to restrict their scope of analysis to only three schools from the western mainstream psychology. Among others that include psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychology. In a contrastive manner ideas on Man from the three schools will be compared with what has been conceptualized in Islamic psychology. Due to the fact that at times western schools of psychology agree and complement one another in matters related to man and at other times they are at loggerhead with one another, has created an opportunity for the introduction of Islamic psychology. It is the conviction of the presenters that Islamic ideas on man which are comprehensive and all-encompassing can act as a ¡®peace-maker¡¯ to the polemical issues that are prevalent in western schools of psychology. It is believed that ideas provided by Islamic psychology can harmonize many of the differences found in western mainstream psychology.
Muslim Ummah in Facing the Challenges of Globalization (Presented in Tehran)Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
?
This presentation on globalization among others discusses the nature and differences that exist between the modern and Muslim concepts of globalization. Since it is not possible for the Muslims to live in total isolation from the things that are happening in a globalized world, they can at least come up with a strategic plan in how to position themselves in dealing with the issues and problems related to globalization. Besides that, this presentation also highlights the ideal scenario that should be prevalent in the Muslim world that can be beneficial for the Muslims as well as for others who share the space with them in this world. In realizing how the internet and social media have been wrongfully used in a globalized world, the presenters suggest on how the Muslims can use them in a productive and ethical manner. The last thing that this presentation intends to highlight is the philosophy of co-existence which should be given due consideration by people of different civilizations that live on this planet. It is the conviction of the presenters that people of different civilizations can learn all that are positive from one another and can live in peace and harmony.
Mental Health: A Contrastive Analysis between Western and Islamic Psychologie...Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
?
The alarming statistics on the many reported cases of mental health in the media has drawn the attention of the researchers towards this area of psychology. Driven by the passion to understand what mental health is, this small scale research is directed towards understanding some of the existing concepts on mental health. Very precisely, it explored the ideas on mental health showcased to the world by Western mainstream psychology, namely; Freudian Psychoanalysis, Radical Behaviourism and Humanistic Psychology. Upon analysing Western concepts on mental health, the researchers ventured on to compare them with ideas presented by Islamic Psychology. It is the contention of the researchers that topics on human nature, mental health and psychotherapy are interrelated and inseparable. As such, any discussion on mental health should also incorporate some ideas on human nature and psychotherapy.
This presentation examines on extremism and act of terror committed at the global level. Since extremism is an age-old phenomenon that existed all throughout in the history of mankind, the presentation will focus on the many forms of extremism that happen during this modern age of globalization and telecommunication. The crux of the presentation will focus on the root causes of extremism and how to remedy the ever increasing rate of terror attacks that happens all over the world. The researchers have also highlighted that it is unfair to associate extremism carried out by people to their religions. This sort of an unfair judgment has been done in the case of a Muslim to Islam, while the non-Muslim is associated to mental illness. Last but not least, the researchers call for a concerted effort from all, regardless race and religion to join force to eradicate extremism and make this world a safe place for all to live.
The Impact of Early Muslim Thoughts on the Renaissance Movement in the WestMohd Abbas Abdul Razak
?
This presentation intends to explain that there was a time in the history of the Muslims known as the ¡®Golden Age of Islam¡¯. During that period of time (750-1258), Muslims built their great civilization by merging science and spirituality. They were prepared to learn all that are positive and non-contradictory to their Muslim faith from others; particularly from the Greeks, Persians and Indians. At the peak of their civilization, Europeans came to learn at the Islamic centers for leaning and scientific investigation. In modern times, the West not only failed to acknowledge the contribution of the early Muslim scholars to the Renaissance movement, but also its obsession and passion for science took the masses away from God and spirituality. Looking into the present condition of the world, this presentation calls for an ideal situation that can solve violence, backwardness and moral decadence. It calls upon the West and the Muslim world to share with one another what they have. The West needs spirituality and the Muslim world needs science and technology. It is believed that through such an exchange and sharing between the two, a better world free of violence, hatred and moral decadence can be created.

It is hoped that a proper understanding of the concept of mental health and its maintenance could help people to lead a meaningful life: finding peace and harmony within themselves and in the external surrounding.

Cyberabad Unveiled: How Chandrababu Naidu Transformed Hyderabad into a Global Tech Powerhouse
In the late 1990s, India was at a crossroads, struggling to position itself as a global power while grappling with economic and infrastructural challenges. N. Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh from 1995 to 2004, whose visionary leadership helped reshape Hyderabad into "Cyberabad," a thriving hub of information technology, innovation, and enterprise.N.Chandrababu Naidu¡¯s rise to prominence in Indian politics came at a time when the country was opening up to globalization, thanks to the economic liberalization of 1991. Naidu recognized the untapped potential of Hyderabad, a city primarily known for its rich cultural heritage but lacking a modern economic infrastructure. As a leader, Naidu was pragmatic and forward-thinking, understanding that the future of India lies in technology and IT-driven services. With this vision, he embarked on a journey to transform Hyderabad into an international technology hub that could rival global cities like Silicon Valley.
N. Chandrababu Naidu's strategy was multifaceted. First, he focused on infrastructure. Hyderabad¡¯s roads, telecommunications, and transport systems were significantly improved, laying the groundwork for a business-friendly environment. Naidu also leveraged his strong ties with global business leaders, particularly in the technology sector, to bring in foreign direct investment (FDI). In a landmark move, he attracted Microsoft to open its first research and development center outside the United States in Hyderabad in 1998. This event was pivotal, signaling that Hyderabad was ready to be a part of the global IT revolution. Under N. Chandrababu Naidu's leadership, HITEC City (Hyderabad Information Technology and Engineering Consultancy City) was established as the epicenter of IT and technology companies. Located in the heart of what is now referred to as Cyberabad, HITEC City attracted giants like IBM, Oracle, Infosys, and Google, alongside a myriad of startups and local companies, which turned the region into a buzzing economic zone.N. Chandrababu Naidu's governance model was instrumental in Cyberabad¡¯s rise. He introduced policies that cut through bureaucratic red tape, encouraging ease of doing business. His government offered tax incentives, developed specialized IT parks, and created policies favorable to both international investors and domestic entrepreneurs. Naidu was also a strong advocate of e-governance, using technology to streamline public administration and improve service delivery to citizens. Moreover, education and skill development were central to his plans. Naidu understood that a city¡¯s success in the tech-driven economy would depend on its workforce. He pushed for partnerships between the government and academic institutions to build a strong talent pool in IT, engineering, and research.
