Islam and Modern World

Call of Islam to Modern Man:


     Two thousand five hundred year ago, the Greek philosophers announced to the world that mankind could achieve perfection entirely through the unaided application of his rational faculties. 


        During European, the  humanist philosopher were determined to prove that unlimited progress could be achieved if only the full development of individual and the expression of his creative potentialities.


     World War I and II were overwhelming refutation of the Gospel of material progress so confidently and complacently preached a century ago. The savagery of these wars brough home to the whole world that despite all modern intellectual "enlightenment" despite all the spectacular progress in science and many more.

   In the early part of this century Germany had attained the acme of "civilization" and "progress". Her achievements in economic development  education. the fine arts and the science were unsurpassed . Yet during  1939-1945 Europe under Nazi -German.


  The Victims of Nazi concentration camps took some comfort in the thought that if only their experiences could be publicized widely enough ,this would never happen again.

   Yet the orientalists and their disciples in "Muslim" Lands tell us that the orthodox formulation of Islam, its institution and culture are archaic and must be drastically re-interpreted to adjust Muslims and Modern Life .


    The earliest modernizers in Muslims world a century ago were dismayed by the contrast between the material backwardness of Muslims with the dazzling energy and concrete accomplishments of Europe.  They thought that if only the Muslims could imbibe modern Knowledge  through modern education their people would become just as strong progressive and properous.

   An  Islamic state would not have problems as a Jewish pupil given food to eat that is not Kosher.
or a Muslims girl being compelled to wear a mini-skirt and hardheadedness.

  Those who call modern man to Islam must make him understand and appreciate suck virtue which is utterly foreign and incomprehensible to the materialist.
