Why a Muslim Mind Map? In the 21st Century?

Muslim world wide need to rethink and re look at their daily behaviour from themoment they wake up, goes to work, socializes, spending time with their families and

later return homes to their bed.

It may be argued that the existing example and living prefect or standard includingthe strict foundation provided by the Prophet is enough and forever will be eternalize

till the end of the days by billion of Muslim should be adequate, yet when we look at

the Muslim behaviour and etiquette it is a stark contrast to the ways of the one Godand the Beautiful ethics and conduct of the Prophets.

Islam is a way of live and should represent the truth and the beautiful and natural

order of living yet, the present predicament and living of most Muslim does notportrayed this living and dynamism of Islam.

The Failure of Islam as a Brand.

Branding and Marketing goes hand in hand, what does marketings entails?

Definition of Marketing: Marketing is an organizational function and a set of

processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for

managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its

stakeholders

So every action of each Muslim in any ways will be a part of the whole branding and

marketing of Islam it self! Islam is not a loner, it is a religion where each behaviormust be related and portrayed Islam true identities. A policeman wearing a uniform

and carrying a gun is expected to behave accordingly within a society points of views,if a policeman divert from its original purposes, it in it self have tarnished the verymeaning and foundation of that particular institution.

21st century Muslim must possessed and have within his or her mind some of thefollowing criteria

Benefits as a Muslim

Being as a Muslim must at its core be beneficial to his or her self, ie: you are being

saved by professing and following the one and only true religion. You must also be

beneficial to other Muslim. Your existence within your life cycle must also benefitothers humans, animal and this world, for surely you are the caliph and the chosen

ones. Your ethics must be of the highest and most adorable to all of creation, loving,

non destructive and following the full spectrum of those which may evokesadmiration and be as an umbrella or as a salvation to others entities.

Indeed we have given you these responsibilities and even the mountain does not dareto receive these great responsibilities, yet you human have been entrusted and have

chosen to undertake this great task and responsibilities

Creditability

Are you credible and honors enough to carry Islam as your religion. Do not tarnish itscredibilitys, trustworthy and other aspect of this noble religion.

Communication (real-time)

Our communication and social interaction. Are we a good person in nature, can wecommunicate with loving kindness? Can we address other being or other fellow

Muslim with their deserved and rightful ways? Peace Be Upon You? Do we reallymeant what we say or it is just a slip of the tongue or a customary salutation?

Research and self criticism

Do we dare to do research into our daily live which ones reflect the beautiful religion

and which ones reflect our own desires and self interest, are we doing it solely for godand not any other ulterior motives? Can we accept criticism or just follow the blind

dogma of the majorities of other professor of Islam?

Value of a Brand? Do Islam need a Branding? Why on Earth do we care about

Branding let God Alone does the Branding?

We each sees something based upon its Brand or market perception or Consumer

perception. Yes Put a Mercedes and A Toyota Side By Side and ask a person tochoose. I bet 75-99% will choose Mercedes if you are ask to choose ones and take it

home for free!

Each brand have invested heavily and have maintain the utmost stringent of Qualities

control program and checking system available to bring its brand to where it is today.

You can walk into any part of this Earth and pick up a Bottle of Coca Cola or Coke,and trust me each ones will taste the same. There is no points or arguing that Coke is

Coke and Pepsi is Pepsi. It may come in a bottle with Arabic writings or Tibetans but

the taste will always remains the same!

What about Islam and its individuals, what are the similarities? Yes there remains the

core taste of Islam which is Praying to the One God, They all says Allah and they will

definitely pray toward the Kaaba or Mecca, yet beyond that do we have a brand of

passion? Loving kindness, grace, gratitudes? Or we are the Terrorist whom will run

amok and kills those so call infidels the moment someone drew a cartoon of one ofour icons?

I have yet to see a Muslim or an Arabs running amok with guns blazing trying to

saved a dying cats or a poor hopeless whale or even compete with green peaceactivist? Or if I may harsh enough to say an Islamic Imams leading a crusade to save

the earth from Global Warming?
