History Of the Clash between Islam and Other Civilisations -- Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6
It is known that it is impossible for the
one who does not know Arabic to understand Islam, not to mention
performing ijtihad with it. They want the Arabic to become like Latin
and Syriac such that none understands Islam except experts in this
unused language. In reality, they want it to become a dead language.
How would the one who does not understand Arabic be able to
understand the news (khabar), composition (insha'a), command ('amr),
prohibition (nahy), the literal (haqeeqa) and metaphoric (majaz), the reason
('illah), cause (sabab), condition (sharT), preventive (maan'i), general
(a'amm), specific (khaas), absolute (mutlaq), restricted (muqayyad), the
indications of the explicit wording (mantooq) and the understood (mfhoom)
and necessity (iltizam), the meanings of the letters, conjugation, grammar
etc? All of these are necessary to understand the Shari'ah texts.
Whoever
calls to this is an enemy of Islam, and whoever among the Muslims is
fooled by these falsehoods is stupid.
However, the embracing of the deen of Allah was not general in a
complete perfected way, even among the Arabs themselves. The defeated
religions and civilisations remained present. They were weak at the
beginning due to the disappearance of the environment that allowed
their growth. Thus the movement of heretics (zanadiqa) failed and was
suppressed. However, the negligence of the Arabic language afterwards
led to the closure of the gates of ijtihad and confusion in understanding
the rules, which weakened the State until it became petty states.
Some
thoughts of the ancient civilisations intruded to Muslims like the idea of
asceticism and punishing the body from Hindu philosophy, tribalism
among some, the ideas of hidden secret meanings (batiniyya) in others,
and the inclination to separate from the centre of the Khilafah,
weakened the State and stopped the conquests. Rather the Crusaders
and Tatars coveted it until the Ottomans came and unified most of the
regions of the State under their authority and resumed the conquests.
However, the military character dominated it without carrying the
ideology in the correct manner, so the peoples of the conquered lands
were not melted into the crucible of Islam as occurred in the first
conquests. It is possible to perceive the difference between the Uzbek,
Tajik, Pushtun, Turkish, Berber, Indian, (Ad-Deelam), Turkmen and
Kurdish peoples, their love for Islam and adherence to it, and the
peoples conquered in the period of the Ottomans like the Serbs, Greeks,
Hungarians, Croats, Romanians and others. These quickly conspiredwith the West against Islam and their State, and they never abstained
whenever offered an opportunity for vengeance.
Then the cultural and
missionary invasions against Islam started until the Western civilisation
achieved the destruction of the Islamic State, fragmented it, and divided
the community (jama’ah) of Muslims. Nor did Western Capitalism stop
at that limit; rather it worked to spread its concepts of nationalism,
patriotism, democracy, freedom, man-made canons, and imaginary
borders among Muslims. It appointed over these petty states corrupt
rulers allied to them who consolidate its influence and concepts, protect
its interests, preserve the division, deviate from the way of Allah and
oppose every sincere person who attempts to free himself from their
noose.
They were assisted upon that by agent intellectuals who invite
to Western thoughts with passion, defend them, and struggle against
the Islamic civilisation, standing with blind sincerity to the side of the
Ummah's enemy. The Crusader enemies and their agents among the
influential people in the Muslim countries, put under their control the
media means and education, thus they became misguided and misguiding.
This intellectual assault did not stop so the call to the concepts of
Western civilisation of what they call freedoms, democracy, pluralism,
civil society, the state of institutions, human rights, women's rights, the
patriotic bond, religious dialogue etc, is in full swing.
Thus it is truly
considered a violent intellectual struggle between the two civilisations;
Islamic and Capitalist. This clash is so clear such that it requires no
evidence, for we are living it daily, no matter how much some
intellectuals and the influential Capitalists attempt to hide it, through
distortion and deception. For example, we find the former American
president Nixon say in 'The Favourable Opportunity (al-fursa as-saniha)': "Our isolation contradicts our values and religious beliefs, which call to
spread virtue throughout the world." He also says in his book 'Victory
without War':
"The revolutionary Islamic ideology is a reaction against
modernisation. Communism promises to rotate the hour of history
forwards and Islamic fundamentalism returns it backwards…Communist
and Islamic revolutionaries are ideological enemies adopting a common
aim: Desire to achieve power by any necessary means with the aim of
imposing a dominant dictatorship based upon their ideals which are
unbearable."
We find Berlusconi, the current Italian prime minister, say:
"We must be aware of the superiority of our civilisation. The East will
remain oriented towards the civilisation of the West and this orientation
will increase. This occurred once in the communist world and, also occurred in parts of the Islamic world."
