Professor Khurshid Ahmad’s View on the Gulf States and Their Role in the Muslim World
Professor Khurshid Ahmad viewed the Gulf states as strategically central to the Muslim world due to their economic strength, religious significance, and geopolitical position. The Gulf region, being home to the two holiest cities of Islam, Makkah and Madinah, naturally occupies a spiritual leadership role within the Muslim Ummah. Beyond this religious centrality, Professor Ahmad recognized that the Gulf’s economic resources, particularly oil wealth, endowed it with the potential to support the broader development and unity of the Muslim world.
