Pakistan is big news. From the catastrophic floods to terror attacks, the world is watching and worried. It's easy to give into easy clichés and tabloid headlines when talking about Pakistan. We know there are challenges – big ones – but we also know there are stories of hope and resilience. Pakistan's rich spiritual heritage and culture is an inspiration for those trying to make a difference. In this exclusive conversation with one of the world's leading Muslim religious scholars, Shaykh Abdullah bin Bayyah explores the messages of that heritage and calls Pakistanis and Muslims the world over to action. Here is an opportunity to engage with that message and share ways in which faith can inspire change.
