If novelty of work, freshness of approach, depth of thoughts, ability to influence the world and capability of revolutionizing knowledge are the criteria of greatness, Dr Jamil should be seen as one of the revolutionary thinkers of the contemporary world.
He is now in Delhi busy in planning for an Instititute of Applied Islamics. Please keep praying for him.
