Assalamu alaikum...
Muslim religious education and their two cultures, ideological and
technological, through their curricula and anti-worldism, became in recent
centuries increasingly takhsisiyyah (reductionist, restricted). Modern
secular and mixed systems are takhsisiyyah too, marginalizing Islam and
making it irrelevant by restricting it to mere rituals of the five pillars,
family law, etc. Islam covers every discipline and all areas of the two
cultures:
Whoever does not judge by what God has revealed, they are
wrong-doers
evil-doers
Rejectors ( zalimuun, fasiquun, kafiruun, Quran 5:47,
45, 44 ). Ijtihad is Islamic rationalism and modernization in the light of the
Quran as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad. Islamization is a duty/fard; it is an
urgent necessity since other systems have made Muslims incapable of promoting
Islam, life, reason, posterity, wealth and honor (al-deen, hayaat, `aql, nasal,
maal, `ird). Islamization assimilates the truths of all systems, incl.
the modern secular. IISTD concentrates on Islamization of science and
technology.
Islamic ideology achieved some of its greatest triumphs during periods when
Muslims were the weakest politically and militarily as in the 12th & 13th
Centuries during the Crusades, and the 13th & 14th Centuries AD during the
Mongol and Tatar invasions. However, the Mongols, Tatars and Turks, during
genocide and destruction unparalleled in the history of mankind, embraced Islam
and carried forward the mission of Islam. After centuries of internal decadence
and well-deserved defeats and humiliations, Muslims are waking up to Islamize
all knowledge, their three education systems ( traditionalist religious,
secular, and mixed), and their two cultures. Islamization will empower
Islam for Muslim self-development and Islamic propagation for universal common
good ( al-maslahah al-kaffah ); it assimilates the truths in all systems.
Islamization is a basic duty of every Muslim through the Prophet's
tradition/Hadith, followed by the Early Generations but abandoned by later
Muslims --- al-`ilm bit-ta`allum, Knowledge is by Self-Learning"; this must be
pursued also through 'Continuous Self-Learning' Islamic discipline-oriented
books and journals 'Islamic' full-time and week-end schools; Meetings;
conferences; etc. Islamic organizations and professional associations must
devise Islamization programs and promote their implementation world wide.
Traditional 'Islamic' and Muslim "Mixed" education systems should be early
models for total Islamization, as-silm al-kaffah. N. American and other
countries also have Self-Learning (ta`allum) methods through Independent Study
Courses, a Second Major or Minor, and new Courses on demand by students.
Secular and "Mixed non-Muslim" education systems world wide must promote
freedom of thought, ethnicity, multi-culturalism, and Arabic language. Such
Courses and
students research for Term Papers, and Masters and Ph.D. programs, must be
used for Islamic and comparative studies in every discipline, involving also
non-Muslims.
May God Almighty bless our efforts.
