"The environment is created by us. If Muslim individuals and families decide to practise upon the teachings of Shariah and rid their homes and lives of evil, then they have, indeed, created an Islamic environment.

"No government forces the Muslim to indulge in adultery, gambling, drinking, consuming interest, watching evil and immoral TV programmes, reading filthy literature, etc. No one imposes upon us to emulate the Kuffaar in dress and culture or to organise our marriages and engagement parties in the pattern of the West.

"Provided that we are sincere, we can at least create an environment at home, if not in the world. Blaming the environment for our failures is like the proverbial ostrich burying its head in the ground."
