Without This Path, Secularism Will Overrun Us
Transcript 23 lines
Here, we say the path to the ummah's unity lies in the sources of legislation.
Through scholars and other such sources. Total secularism and globalization surge.
Material force, planning, media power; human weakness, desires, urge to escape.
It wants this pure, beautiful human ideal.
Everyone in it lives alone, living as he wants, and so on.
Allah ﷻ did not create life with this view.
Had Allah ﷻ permitted that, it would be nice, and we'd be at ease.
That would be it. We'd put a period and close the book.
But Allah ﷻ did not create that.
That is why some say the Ummah must break up and be reborn in total secularism.
Some say fanaticism and extremism lie not in human thought, but in the Qur'an.
The Qur'an is the cause, and they cite verses and hadiths.
One of them says this, and he is a secular Moroccan thinker.
The Qur'an has 500 verses on killing and fighting.
On confrontation, harming others, and so on.
And how many are about affection and peace?
We do not want to offend your ears, but understand: some blame the Qur'an.
In some countries, they dare not say that. They haven't reached that stage.
But know that whoever attacks Islam wants the Qur'an, all sources of law gone.
He does not say only the Qur'an is the problem.
All revealed books: Qur'an, Gospel, Torah, and the rest, cause extremism.
So religion must be removed from life for a civilized human life without it.
These ideas affect Muslims and badly undermine ummah unity, a huge obstacle.
