The world order established in the aftermath of the Second World War now appears to be entering a phase of decline. For nearly eight decades, Western powers, led by the United States, have projected their economic, financial, technological and military dominance to impose their interests and preferred policies across the globe.
History, however, consistently reminds us that every action generates a reaction, and that no period of ascendancy is permanent. Today, the signs of weakening Western supremacy are increasingly evident.
Global economies are grappling with prolonged recessions, while decades of war imposed by Western powers have left entire nations reduced to rubble.
Alongside this devastation, millions of refugees, many from Muslim-majority countries have been forced to migrate toward Western states in search of safety and a dignified life.
In response to these developments, right-wing extremist politicians have once again revived the rhetoric of nationalism to serve their political ambitions. Beneath its appealing surface, this movement often masks a deeper hostility toward Islam and Muslim communities. In contemporary political discourse, this resurgence is described as neo-nationalism.
Understanding nationalism
Nationalism has always been a popular slogan. Love for one’s nation and the preservation of national identity are presented as a beautiful and emotionally appealing concept. Islam, too, has declared love for one’s homeland to be an essential part of faith.
However, the other side of the picture is dangerous. If nationalism comes to mean nothing more than the superiority, welfare, development and racial dominance of one’s own nation regardless of trampling over global laws, justice and fairness then this mindset becomes a deadly poison for humanity and a serious threat to global peace.
History bears witness to the fact that extremist nationalism has given rise to world wars, genocides and countless regional conflicts. The history of previous world wars that occurred in the last century is sufficient to open our eyes.
Nazi Germany
Germany’s notorious Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler, fueled nationalism and pushed the entire world into a global war. In 1920, when Hitler promoted German nationalism in the Nazi Party manifesto, he stated:
- None but members of the Volk (a people; large tribe) may be citizens of the state. None but those of German blood, whatever their creed, may be members of the Volk. No Jew, therefore, may be a member of the Volk.
- Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest and must be regarded as being subject to foreign laws. (“Nazi Party Platform”, encyclopedia.ushmm.org, accessed on 8 February 2026)
In a speech delivered in 1928, Hitler said:
“I am a German nationalist. This means that I proclaim my nationality. My whole thought and action belong to it. I am a socialist. I see no class and no social estate before me, but that community of the Volk, made up of people who are linked by blood, united by a language, and subject to a same general fate.”
(Hitler’s Secret Book, 1961, Grove Press edition, pp. 8-9 and 17-18)
The consequences of this surge in nationalism were borne by the entire world, particularly Europe, in the form of the catastrophic devastation of the Second World War, during which millions of people lost their lives.
Establishment of the United Nations
In the aftermath of this conflict, influential nations came to recognise this harsh reality and, under the banner of the United Nations, brought the nations of the world together to make collective efforts toward the establishment of equality and justice.
The United Nations went on to render valuable services to humanity across multiple fields, playing a notable role in the independence of many countries and achieving significant progress in areas such as health and education.
However, in international territorial, economic, military and political conflicts, powerful countries have virtually hijacked the United Nations. In preventing conflicts between powerful and weaker states and in restraining wars among major global powers, the United Nations often appears ineffective and constrained. The ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict stands as a stark and enduring example of this institutional weakness.
The rise of far-right nationalism
Today, the world once again appears to be standing on the brink of destruction. In an atmosphere marked by fear, polarisation and confrontation, the same toxic ideology is being repackaged and promoted under the appealing banner of nationalism to serve narrow personal and political interests.
In place of globalisation, there is a growing emphasis on restrictive immigration policies, the expulsion of refugees, the curtailment of global trade for national advantage and the limitation of freedom of expression in the name of national interest. Slogans such as America First have been prominently raised by the President of the United States.
In Germany, the popularity of the far-right party AfD continues to rise with each election.
In Hungary, the hardline Prime Minister has gained public support through policies that tighten immigration systems, construct border fences, and promote the expulsion of refugees.
India, which claims to be the world’s largest democracy, has witnessed a marked increase in Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) and growing oppression of minorities since the rise of Prime Minister Modi.
Likewise, in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain and other European countries, the influence and electoral strength of right-wing nationalist political parties continue to expand.
Justifiable reasons cited for opposition to refugees
Within this entire scenario, there is one point that appears to carry some truth: certain refugees and migrants have been found involved in illegal activities in Western countries.
In Europe, some individuals involved in terrorist incidents entered the continent under the guise of refugees. Sometimes these individuals are linked to Islam. Many people enter these countries falsely using forged documents.
Likewise, in some incidents, young refugees have been found involved in violence, including misconduct and sexual harassment or abuse of women and young children. There have also been reports of gang violence, drug use and attacks on police.
There are some who receive government assistance, and pay no taxes, while simultaneously engaging in illegal work. The large influx of migrants also places a heavy financial burden on the systems of wealthy countries.
Using these incidents as a basis, right-wing extremists form fronts against refugees and carry out campaigns to deport them back to their home countries. As the number of refugees increases, this campaign continues to intensify. In recent times, millions of people have participated in rallies held in favour of expelling refugees.
The Holy Quran’s universal teaching for establishing a global community
The solution to all these problems and concerns lies only in the true teachings of Islam.
The Holy Quran is an eternal source of guidance and everlasting light for all nations of the world. It is the first and only revealed book that presents comprehensive principles for reforming prejudices based on race, nation, colour and language.
Previously revealed religious books were limited to specific times and peoples, and therefore their audiences were restricted. This is why the Bible declares only the Jews as the children of God and distinguishes them from other nations. Jesus also forbade spreading his teachings among non-Jews (Matthew, 15:24-26).
Similarly, according to many Hindus, they are superior to other nations based on being bearers of the earliest law.
In contrast, the Holy Quran laid the foundation of universal brotherhood and equality.
Allah the Exalted is the Creator, Sustainer and Developer of all nations
One of the very first verses of the Holy Quran is proof of its universality and the equality of all nations. The Quran begins by declaring that Allah alone is the Creator, Master and true Sustainer of all nations, races and all worlds. It states:
“All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.” (Surah al-Fatihah, Ch.1: V.2)
Allah has created all humanity from a single soul. Our God is not limited to any one nation, region or race, but is the One who nurtures the entire universe.
Then, the Holy Quran states:
“It is Allah Who has created you, [and] then He has provided for you; then He will cause you to die, [and] then He will bring you to life.” (Surah ar-Rum, Ch.30: V.41)
In another place, it states:
“And that man will have nothing but what he strives for; And that his striving shall soon be seen.” (Surah an-Najm, Ch.53: V.40-41)
The Holy Prophetsa and the Holy Quran are addressed to all nations
By declaring all nations of the world as its audience in its very first proclamation, the Holy Quran established a clear principle of equality: every nation is equally capable of accepting God’s guidance and acting upon it. No tribe or nation in the world is inferior merely because the Holy Prophetsa was not raised among them, nor are the Arabs superior simply because the Holy Prophetsa belonged to them. The Holy Quran declares on behalf of the Holy Prophetsa:
“And We have not sent thee but as a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner, for all mankind, but most men know not.” (Surah Saba, Ch.34: V.29)
The purpose of the division into nations is only identification and recognition
The guiding principle of the Holy Quran is that God divided human beings into different tribes solely for the purpose of identification and recognition. It states:
“O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female; and We have made you into tribes and sub-tribes that you may recognise one another.” (Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.14)
The only criterion of distinction in the sight of Allah is righteousness
Allah has declared that all people are equal by virtue of being human. Whoever acts upon God’s commandments and keeps His fear in their heart is more honourable in the sight of Allah than others. He states:
“Verily, the most honourable among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. Surely, Allah is All-knowing, All-Aware.” (Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.14)
The Holy Prophetsa proclaimed this very truth in his Farewell Sermon before hundreds and thousands of people:
“O people! Be aware that your Lord is One and your father (Adam) is one. Remember! No Arab has superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have superiority over an Arab, nor does a white have superiority over a black, nor a black over a white – except by righteousness. Have I conveyed the message?” They (the Companions) replied: “The Messenger of Allah has conveyed the message.” (Musnad Ahmad, Beirut: Mu’assasat al-Risala, 2001, Vol. 38, p. 747, Hadith 23489)
Disputes among nations must be decided based on justice
The Holy Quran laid down the fundamental principle of equality and justice, commanding that judgments among people must be made with fairness. If any country or nation seeks advantage only for its own people or its own bloc, it will never be possible to establish a just international community. The Holy Quran states:
“[…] when you judge between men, you judge with justice.” (Surah an-Nisa, Ch.4: V.59)
It further commands that even when dealing with an enemy nation, justice must still be upheld:
“O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be [always] just, that is nearer to righteousness.” (Surah al-Ma’idah, Ch.5: V.9)
In times of conflict, reconciliation should be pursued instead of forming blocs and the oppressed must be supported
If war breaks out between different countries for any reason, instead of making decisions based on narrow national interests and nationalism, efforts should be made to reconcile the parties. If one party refuses reconciliation and persists in aggression, then all should unite to restrain the aggressor. Allah says:
“And if two parties of believers fight [against each] other, make peace between them; then if [after that] one of them transgresses against the other, fight the party that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah. Then if it returns, make peace between them with equity and act justly. Verily, Allah loves the just. Surely [all] believers are brothers. So make peace between brothers, and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you.” (Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.10-11)
The Messengersa of Allah strongly emphasised reconciliation between disputing parties. In one hadith, reconciling people is described as superior even to prayer, fasting and charity.
The Messengersa of Allah said: “Shall I not tell you of something better in rank than prayer, fasting, and charity?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Reconciling people with one another, for discord among people destroys them.” (Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitab al-adaab, Hadith 4919)
Preventing false news and propaganda is essential
While developments in media have created many conveniences, the flood of fake news has also given rise to a new challenge.
Powerful countries and groups, through heavy investment, use all means to spread propaganda for their interests and frequently rely on false news to inflame national and religious sentiments against others.
Social media has acted like fuel on fire in spreading falsehood. The Holy Quran also addresses this issue, stating:
“O ye who believe! if an unrighteous person brings you any news, ascertain [the correctness of the report] fully, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and then become repentant for what you have done.” (Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.7)
Mockery and humiliation of other nations is forbidden
The Holy Quran instructs respect and dignity for the leaders and common people of every nation, regardless of whether they are poor or weak.
Insulting other nations or tribes based on wealth, lineage, colour or nationality creates divisions in hearts that sustain conflicts for centuries. Allah says:
“O ye who believe! let not one people [deride] another people, who may be better than they, nor let women [deride other] women, who may be better than they. And defame not your own people, nor call [one another] by nicknames. Bad [indeed] is evil reputation after [the profession of] belief; and those who repent not are the wrongdoers.” (Surah al-Hujurat, Ch.49: V.12)
The Holy Quran also condemns arrogance and pride. It states:
“And turn not thy cheek away from men in pride nor walk in the earth haughtily; Surely, Allah loves not any arrogant boaster.” (Surah Luqman, Ch.31: V.19)
Treaties and relations with other nations must be based on truthfulness and righteousness, not deception
Today, in the name of diplomacy and statecraft, falsehood and deception dominate. It is often said that nations have no friends, only interests. This is why, despite treaties made under the umbrella of the United Nations in the name of peace, cooperation and development, justice and peace remain elusive.
The Quran provides guidance in this regard as well:
“Cooperate with one another in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and aggression.” (Surah al-Ma’idah, Ch.5: V.3)
Fulfillment of covenants
Islam places great importance on honoring covenants. Fulfilling promises and respecting international agreements are among the core teachings of Islam. Allah the Almighty states:
“And fulfil the covenant of Allah when you have made; and break not the oaths after making them firm, while you have made Allah your surety. Certainly, Allah knows what you do.” (Surah an-Nahl, Ch.16: V.92)
Respect for the beliefs and rituals of others
Allah has placed in every human heart an inclination toward recognising God and maintaining a relationship with Him. Likewise, He has sent prophets and righteous individuals to every nation.
To promote mutual love and respect, Islam teaches that one should not speak ill of the deities or revered figures of others, lest they respond by speaking ill of Allah. He says:
“And revile not those whom they call upon beside Allah, lest they, out of spite, revile Allah in their ignorance.” (Surah al-An’am, Ch.6: V.109)
Economic assistance to poor nations
One of the major causes of disorder and corruption in the world is the unjust distribution of wealth. Wealthy and developed nations, due to their power and technological superiority, dominate the resources and wealth of poorer countries.
Many Third World countries are unable to benefit from their natural resources. Consequently, powerful nations, operating through large corporations, exploit their economies, while local populations suffer from hunger and poverty.
The Holy Quran guides us here as well, stating that wealth should not circulate only among the rich, but should flow justly so that the poor, needy and vulnerable may also benefit. Allah says:
“Whatever Allah has given to His Messenger as spoils from the people of the towns is for Allah and for the Messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it may not circulate [only] among those of you who are rich.” (Surah al-Hashr, Ch.59: V.8)
Similarly, the Holy Quran advises poorer nations not to covet the wealth of the rich (Surah TaHa, Ch.20: V.133) but instead to focus on improving their condition by utilising their own resources.
Justice in weights and measures
The Holy Quran draws attention to transparency and honesty in trade also. It states:
“Woe unto those who give short measure; Those who, when they take by measure from other people, take it full; But when they give by measure to others or weigh to them, they give [them] less.” (Surah at-Tatfif, Ch.83: V.2-4)
Islam did not merely teach these principles but demonstrated them through the practical example of the Messengersa of Allah, who established a society in which complete justice and harmony existed between the wealthy and the poor.
The rights of slaves, orphans and the needy were fully protected, while wealthy individuals like Hazrat Abdur Rahmanra bin Auf were permitted to conduct trade with honesty and integrity.
This justice was not limited to Muslims alone; under the Charter of Medina, the rights of Jews and non-Muslims living in Medina were also fully safeguarded. The treaty between the Messengersa of Allah and the Jews stands as clear evidence that despite having power and authority, the Prophetsa granted them full rights and allowed them to live with political and religious freedom.
Address of the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat to the European Parliament
Foreseeing the issues arising from the influx of refugees, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmadaa, the Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat drew the attention of Western countries and refugees to their respective responsibilities 14 years ago. While addressing the European Parliament in 2012, he stated:
“We also find that as a result of mass immigration, restlessness and anxiety are spreading in certain countries. The responsibility for this lies with both parties – the immigrants and the local people. On the one hand some immigrants provoke the locals by refusing to integrate to any degree, whilst on the other hand some of the locals are displaying a lack of tolerance and open-heartedness. From time to time the hatred boils over to a very dangerous extent. In particular, hatred or enmity on the part of the locals in Western countries is often manifested towards Islam in reaction to the negative behaviour of certain Muslims, especially immigrants.” (World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace, 2017, p. 104)
He further stated:
“Governments need to make policies that establish and protect mutual respect, through which hurting the sentiments of others or causing them any type of harm should be outlawed. With regard to the immigrants, they must enter with a willingness to integrate with the local people, whilst the locals should be ready to open their hearts and display tolerance. Furthermore, simply to enforce certain restrictions against Muslims will not lead to peace, because they alone cannot change people’s minds and views. This is not specific to Muslims, but whenever any person is forcibly suppressed due to his religion or belief, it will lead to a negative reaction through which peace will be severely harmed.” (World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace, 2017, p. 105)
Western countries face danger without immigration
At another instance, Huzooraa stated:
“Blaming refugees as the root cause of all problems is entirely unjust. The truth is that without immigration, many wealthy Western countries are in danger. In reality, all countries depend on one another, and we now live in an interconnected global world. Therefore, instead of erecting barriers and isolating themselves from others, it is essential that people from different regions cooperate with one another and work together for mutual benefit. Governments should plan systematically for this purpose and ensure that countries work together and that migrants are supported at the local level so they may become part of society.” (Al Fazl International, 14 March 2024, p. 2)
Responsibilities of migrants and refugees
In the present era, Allah the Exalted has placed upon the Jamaat of the Imam of the Age the responsibility to call the world toward justice and guidance.
While the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat has repeatedly urged powerful nations and their leaders to fulfill the demands of justice, he has also drawn the attention of Muslim migrants to their own duties and responsibilities.
Feelings of gratitude toward Western governments must be developed and one must abide by the laws
Huzooraa states:
“Your [Sweden’s] generosity places a very great responsibility upon the immigrants and refugees who come here, and it demands of them that they live here as peaceful citizens and remain grateful and appreciative to the government and the people of this country.
“The Holy Prophetsa taught us that a person who cannot be grateful to his fellow human beings cannot be considered grateful to God either. Therefore, it is a religious duty of these Muslim immigrants and refugees to always remember the kindness this country has shown them by allowing them to live here and benefit from its facilities.
“These refugees left their previous lives in search of peace, and now that they have found safety and protection, it is their duty to live peacefully within this country and to obey its laws.” (Al Fazl International, 15 July 2016, pp. 11-12)
Immigrants should assimilate into the local society and contribute to economic development
Regarding assimilation and contribution to economic development, Huzooraa states:
“Many immigrants who come to Western countries do not integrate into the society they enter, and apart from that, many of them do not work. Or even if they do work, they do not pay taxes and keep themselves separate from the local population.
“When local people see that these individuals are not becoming part of society yet are receiving government benefits that are paid for by the taxes of the local population, it naturally angers them. Leaders who harbor hatred toward immigrants then incite the public against them. If immigrants themselves try to integrate into local society, they can remove the suspicions of the local people.
“Integration does not mean that you must dress like the local people, or start going to clubs, or begin consuming alcoholic drinks. Nor does it mean that you should go to clubs and dance. Nor does it mean that you abandon your moral values.” (Al Fazl International, 20 August 2021, p. 3)
The meaning of integration is to serve the nation
In response to a question from a lady, Huzooraa advised that the true foundation of integration lies in service to the country, and stated:
“To integrate means to serve the country. If you are doing that, then it is correct. We are rendering service; we are loyal to the country – and what is loyalty? It is precisely this: not to speak against the country, and to serve for the betterment and progress of the country. Ahmadis should prove their loyalty to the country through their services. If the Jamaat says that we are loyal to the country, then there should be tangible proof of this loyalty, that we serve the country as doctors, teachers, engineers, or through any form of service.” (Al Fazl International, 23 October 2025, p. 2)
Pay taxes instead of relying on government aid
Regarding paying taxes and avoiding relying on government aid, Huzooraa has also given extensive guidance.
This includes instructions that all immigrants who come here should work so that instead of consuming the taxes of taxpayers and taking assistance, they themselves become taxpayers. He encouraged immigrants to become the giving hand, not the receiving hand.
We must act upon this. This is an Islamic teaching, and since we follow this teaching, we must act accordingly. (Al Fazl International, 22 February 2025, p. 2)
After migration, show loyalty to the country you live in, not your ancestral homeland
In a speech in Germany at the Baitur Rashid Mosque in Hamburg, Huzooraa stated:
“I explained, according to Islamic teachings, what should happen if a situation arises whereby Germany is engaged in a war with the country of origin of an immigrant who has become a German citizen. If the immigrant feels sympathy towards his original country and thinks there is a risk of him desiring or causing harm to Germany, then such a person should immediately relinquish his citizenship or immigration status and return to his native country. However, if he chooses to remain, then Islam does not permit any form of disloyalty to the country whatsoever.” (World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace, 2017, pp. 122-123)
Develop a comprehensive plan to spread your message
Presenting a solution to campaigns run by opponents of immigration, Huzooraa gave detailed guidance to a second delegation of Ahmadis from the USA East Region who met him.
He stated that just as political groups run campaigns, Ahmadis must initiate a move to create widespread awareness about the true teachings of Islam. Huzooraa reminded them of the target he had set over 17 years ago to convey the peaceful message of Islam to 5% of their country’s population annually – a target which, had it been pursued seriously, would have yielded tremendous results by now.
Huzooraa advised them to make a comprehensive plan, using modern methods of outreach. Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya should organise seminars at universities and with academics to show them how Islam promotes peace and how Ahmadis integrate into society to work for the betterment of the nation. An active effort is required, as nothing can be achieved by sitting at home. Huzooraa gave the example of a politician in the UK who has been striving for decades and is only now predicted to gain a majority due to shifts in public opinion against immigrants. Ahmadis in the US, who are hardworking taxpayers and a benefit to the country, must create their own effective advocacy to showcase this reality and the true, peaceful teachings of Islam. This plan, Huzooraa stressed, should be undertaken on a large scale by all auxiliaries of the Jamaat.
In response to a question regarding this issue, Huzooraa further provided guidance to the National amila of Lajna Imaillah Germany who met him on 8 February 2025.
He instructed them to work together with members of the press and media to write such articles in newspapers and upload short clips on social media. Form a dedicated team for this. Properly inform people about anti-Muslim racism as well and explain what the true teachings of Islam are.
Regarding the eradication of anti-Muslim racism, Huzooraa reminded that he has spoken about this many times in Germany as well, and that several speeches exist on this subject. Use quotations from them. There are verses of the Holy Quran and hadith that explain what Muslims are taught, that Muslims are peace-loving, what Islam teaches regarding women and their lawful rights, regarding government and regarding deprived people. Efforts should be made to spread such information as widely as possible.
Ahmadi immigrants should give precedence to their faith and remember the purpose of migration
In response to a question regarding the moral training of newly arrived Ahmadi immigrants in a meeting with khuddam from the USA’s North Region, Huzooraa noted that these immigrants are largely arriving from countries like Pakistan, not from some polytheistic nations. He advised the khuddam to remind these newcomers that they emigrated due to the adversities faced in their homelands – restrictions on performing salat, denial of access to mosques, inability to worship or express their faith freely and persecution for being Ahmadi Muslims.
Therefore, Huzooraa emphasised, the fundamental reason for their migration is religion. If religion is the impetus, then upon arrival in their new countries, they must not forsake it but rather cherish and remember it. The paramount method prescribed by Allah the Exalted for honouring faith, Huzooraa continued, is to worship Him, perform the five obligatory daily prayers, engage in istighfar and avoid becoming ensnared by the superficial allure and attractions of Western societies. They must remain mindful of their core purpose.
Conclusion
Today, once again, the world stands on the brink of war. If the world wishes to be saved from disorder and destruction, the nations of the world must adhere to the guiding principles of Islam.
▪ They must rise above the narrow mindset of only their own countries or nation’s benefit and superiority and unite at a global level for justice and development.
▪ Disputes between countries must be resolved with justice. The practice of forming blocs for political and economic interests and pressuring weaker nations must be abandoned.
▪ Under the guise of freedom of expression, insults and ridicule of other religions especially Islam must be stopped. Those who, God forbid, draw caricatures of the Holy Prophetsa must realise that they are igniting a fire of hatred that will eventually burn everyone to ashes.
▪ Journalism based on truth and integrity is needed instead of false propaganda. The spread of one-sided lies merely to promote one’s own objectives must be stopped.
▪ International agreements must be honoured, and the demands of justice must be fulfilled.
▪ Poor nations must be supported economically with sympathy so that they can stand on their own feet.
▪ Global trade must be conducted fairly, rather than wasting energy on unilateral tariff and tax wars for narrow self-interests.
▪ The practice of imposing wars on poor countries to seize their resources and install governments of one’s own choosing must come to an end. This is the only way the issue of immigrants and refugees can also be resolved.
▪ Those immigrants who have legally arrived in Western countries must obey the law and become loyal citizens of those countries.
▪ Those seeking asylum in Western countries should, instead of becoming a burden on governments, work hard and become productive citizens so that they do not strain the resources of the local population.
▪ Muslim countries, too, must act upon Islamic teachings and fulfill the rights of their people. Political, economic and religious freedom must be granted so that people can live better lives in their own homes and countries.
As Ahmadis, it is our responsibility to convey the true teachings of Islam to the influential segments of the world. May Allah the Almighty grant us the ability to fulfill this responsibility.
