In this interview Ziauddin Sardar elaborates the roots of the recent boom of the studies of the future which, as a systematic, highly sophisticated technique of planning and forecast take pivotal position in managing the risks in uncertain, complex time that is often full of contradictions. At the same time Sardar attempts to detect causes of a general lack of interest of Muslims for active and creative pondering upon the future and their sterile romanticised turning towards the past, he further emphasizes that the Qur’an is the book that implore upon the future planning. The future is the only time category that we are able to change. Even though the Muslims are often labelled as fatalists, Sardar categorically claims that the Qur’an and the practice of the Messenger eliminate any fatalism through inspiring the believers to shape their own future.
