Another initiative of Dr. Amin, Majlis Fikr-o-Nazar (Council for Thought and Reflection), is devoted to intellectual discourse and dialogue. Although Pakistani society is religious in essence, it became intellectually stagnant during the later medieval period, particularly after the collapse of the Muslim educational system under colonial rule. The Deoband seminary emerged in response, focusing exclusively on religious sciences, deliberately excluding worldly disciplines (previously integrated in curricula like that of Mullā Niẓām al-Dīn Sihālawī’s Dars-i-Niẓāmī).
Meanwhile, Aligarh University embraced Western sciences, rationalism, and liberal thought. This educational bifurcation split society into the “traditional” and the “modern,” the “mawlānā” and the “mister,” giving rise to intellectual confusion and fragmentation. The result was the decline of balanced scholarship capable of connecting Islam with contemporary issues while remaining rooted in tradition.
To overcome this divide, Dr. Amin envisioned a platform where scholars and intellectuals could gather, deliberate, and address challenges in a balanced Islamic perspective—bridging the gap between tradition and modernity to generate constructive and thought-provoking ideas.
Between 2023–24, its meetings were held in Garden Town, Lahore, and in 2025 several sessions convened at the Model Town Library. Participants included intellectuals, scholars, journalists, lawyers, university professors, and senior students.
