False premises resulting from the Christian Dark Ages
Religious dogma cannot be reasoned.
Religious faith is blind faith.
Rejection of authority.
Rejection of a God-centered hierarchical society.
All true knowledge must have an empirical reference.
The methodological choice of the Modernists
The division of the subjective humanities and the hard sciences of human experience.
The four causes of experience:
- The efficient cause – The carpenter
- The material cause – The wood
- The formal cause – The nature and the form
- The final cause – The purpose
They removed the formal cause and the final cause. They say all that exists are the primary qualities, which are purely quantitative, which are measurable. Everything on the side of real quality, become purely subjective. The engineer and the doctor are the new high priests of society.
The Secularized Civilization

Secularized Morality and ontology (The nature of being)
Secularized Politics (Public Policy in Islam) and Religion
Liberalism and Modern Science is not neutral
Science was previously called natural philosophy.
Physical science was always subordinated to metaphysical philosophy and fundamental assumptions.
Liberalism turns everyone into a polite minority of submissive citizens.
Liberalism does not genuinely tolerate Muslims. It expects people to have certain beliefs about Religion and God.
Liberalism is hegemonic. They can’t tolerate real conviction.
They live by Machiavellian values
Might is Right
Will to Power
Ends justify the means
While they pretend that they believe in human rights and international law.
The Global South is a force to be reckoned with
Both Capitalism and Communism carry the same false premises.
There is a real power balance between America and China.
International Law is based on natural law, intrinsic value and intrinsic human rights.
Living in the West
We are victims of the socially atomized society
Freedom is a distraction, while they are exploiting us.
Contributing to Western society will always be unsatisfying for Muslims, because there is a purpose to liberal society.
The purpose of Liberal civilization is the facilitation of arbitrary self-determination.
Islam has it’s own purpose
Islam unifies what has been severed systematically and ideologically disintegrated in Western history.
Stop playing into their false assumptions
Stop supporting their false civilization
What disempowers us is the belief that modernity is neutral and universal.
The Defeatist mentality
There are many frauds carrying a defeatist mentality.
The truth is that we don’t know where we are in the eschatological story.
It is Allah’s plan, and only He will write the story.
The Prophet SAW said, if you have a seedling, plant it.
There are those who are the true inheritors of the Prophets inwardly, who carry the Truth.
We have to connect with all those who have inherited the Truth.
Muslims are not islands
One could apply reasoning to the physical world, just as much as you could to the meta-physical world.
We need have an Islam that is wholistic that embraces every aspect of life.
We cannot be obsessed with being pure, like orthodox Judaism, we are afraid of outside influence, that leave us insular.
We have become like and islands, ignorant of or uninterested in cultures, ideas, or peoples outside one’s own experience.
Islam is the Gold Standard of Pluralism
Their are many good human beings in the West with good faith and good will.
We offer pluralism in a real way, that doesn’t say that you can have you belief in your home and mosque as long as you are like us in every other way.
Islam is more liberal, than the liberals.
Islam is a transformative path like no other
We need to take care of the large part of society forgotten by Capitalism.
We have the real transformative Truth and path, which must be communicated to the Non-Muslims through Dawah.
Bringing back awqaf and zakaat on a community level.
If Islam challenges Liberalism, then it would not be able to host all of these arbitrary beliefs and ideologies.
Islam is the true enemy of falsehood and they know it.
Islam has better institutions, then their institutions.
The ultimate purpose of Islam is the cultivation of love for Allah and the rest of His creation.
Islam can lead humanity to become truly fulfilled beings.
