In his Problems of the Islamic revival, which is, in fact, a collection of essays which were written at different times, Begovic has sought to identify the malaise of the Ummah and to seek the countering cure. As early as September 1967, the year of the six-day-war between the Arabs and the Zionist entity, he had written that there was a new awareness in all corners of the Islamic world. Something is definitely stirring, he wrote. And none will be able to stop it either. However, that, too, cannot be called true revival. Nevertheless, it will no doubt represent the signs of the upcoming renaissance. Is Islam the reason for the decadence of the Muslim world? Is not the departure of Islam from the lives of the individual and the society the actual cause for this decadence? It is Begovic's contention, and conviction, here that this is, indeed, the case. In the same vein, he goes on to affirm that today, in the Islamic world, we are witness to a new life and desire that is resounding within its body politic. We are today in the grip of a constant revolution; a movement; a yearning after knowledge and research. This is in spite of all the temporary setbacks and obstacles that are being overcome. It is certain that in the coming years this very desire and yearning which puts forward a genuine pattern of Islamic thought and exploits all the resources with which the Islamic world abounds, through the process of Islamic resurgence will shock and stun the entire world; definitely. Let each and every Muslim become the partakers and participants of this new resurgence.
As can be seen here, closest to his heart was Begovic's desire to offer the young generation of Muslims a new paradigm of hope as well as the instruments for just such an orientation.
