Problem of Thought in Muslim Ummah - “ EXTERNAL CAUSES ”
MUSLIM DILEMMA
The rise of Islam changed the world. The dissimination of Islam throughout the world changed western culture and civilization. Islam also caused revolutionary changes in linguistic, social,cultural,political and economic aspect of western life. Islam played dominant role in the shaping of the world of history from the time its advent onward at least for a thousand years. The western counter attack came gradually beginning with the scientific revolution in the 13th century. Western colonization occurred 17th century onwards till our time almost part of the world. The west able to inculcate their worldview in the Muslim mind.
Causes of Muslim Dilemma - Confusion and error in knowledge.
- The loss of adab within the community.
- The rise of leaders who are not qualified for valid leadership of the Muslim community.
All the above roots of our general dilemma are interdependent and operate in a vicious circle.
- Confusion of truth is because of ignorance of it.
The basic problem is that of education; the lack of proper and adequate Islamic education. The confusion in knowledge of Islam and Islamic worldview creates the condition which enables false leaders to emerge and to thrive, causing the condition of injustice. In respect of the individual, creates in him an overweening sort of individualism. He thinks himself the equal of others who are in reality superior to him, and cultivates immanent arrogance and obstinacy and tend to reject authority.
This jahili streak of individualism have perpetrated among the extremists of many sort in all periods of Muslim history. When Muslim become confused, these extremists tend to spread among them and influence their thinking and infiltrate into positions of religious leadership. They exhibit and encourage its practice among Muslim.
This action lead to destruction and undermining of legitimate authority and hierarchy in the human order. It is the levelling of all to their level.It is injustice.
Islam in not religion for fools. We must refresh our knowledge of Islam and the Islamic worldview and be vigilant against false interpretations. How can the Ummah and the Islamic state be developed and established if individually Muslim become confused and ignorant about Islam and its worldview and are no longer good Muslim? Confusion and error in knowledge cause corrupt leadership and then decline of the Ummah. Knowledge in inherent in man as individual, and not in society and state and Ummah. So, as a matter of strategy, it is important to stress the individual in seeking a just solution to our problem rather than society and state.
- THE LOSS OF ADAB WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
It was the chief cause of Muslim Dilemma. It means loss of discipline. The discipline of body, mind, and soul. The discipline that assures the recognition and acknowledgement of one’s proper place in relation to one’s self, society and community. The recognition and acknowledgement of one’s proper place in relation to one’s physical, intellectual, and spiritual capacities and potential, The recognition and acknowledgement of the fact that knowledge and being are ordered hierarchically.
The chief characteristic symptoms of loss of adab within the community is the process of levelling. Levelling means levelling of everyone, in the mind and attitude, to the same level of the leveller. It was perpetrated through the encouragement of false leaders who wish to demolish legitimate authority and valid hierarchy.
Loss of adab implies corruption and loss of knowledge. Loss of adab implies loss of justice, which in turn betrays confusion of knowledge. It also implies loss of the capacity and ability to recognize and acknowledge true leaders.
- THE RISE OF UNQUALIFIED LEADER
Who do not posses the high moral, intellectual and spiritual standards required for Islamic leadership. Who perpetuate the condition confusion and error in knowledge and ensure the continued control of the affairs of the community by leaders like them who dominate in all fields. The rise of false leaders is follows from loss of adab and confusion and error in knowledge. They are Ulama’ who restrict knowledge to the domain of jurisprudence. Their misguidance leads to the emphasis on differences between the various madhahib.
The false leader among Muslim are responsible for causing:
1) romanization of the originally Arabic script of the language,
2)dearabization,
3)westernization and confusion of the language and its semantic and general vocabulary,
4) the emergence of the journal and the newspaper,
5) the widespread emergence of the marginal Muslim and the marginal society stranger to the Ummah,
6)to perpetuate the secular ideology,
7)disintegration of consciousness in the ummatic solidarity, and many more.
The false ulama’ are not able to develop the interpretation of the mujtahidin along their proper courses within the clear guidelines.
OTHER CAUSES OF MUSLIM DILEMMA
Influence of Western ideas on human evolution and historical development and secular science. They tried to Islamize the ideas they brought in.
SOLUTION
In order to break this vicious circle and remedy this grave problem, we must first come to grips with the problem of loss of adab.
No true knowledge can be instilled without the precondition of adab in the one who seeks it and to whom it is imparted.
