“The best amongst you is one who learns the Qur’an
and who teaches it”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)


“Whoever recites one letter from the Book of Allah (al-Qur’an)
will be rewarded with one Hasanah (merit), the merit then
would be multiplied by ten (Hasanah)”
(Hadith reported by Dailamy and Baihaqy)

MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.


MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.

“And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call
upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking
His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them,
desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey
one whose heart We have made heedless of Our
remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair
is ever [in] neglect.”
(Qur’an Surah al-Kahfi: 18: 28)


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
 “Secular” – from Latin saeculum carries a dual
connotation of (1) time and (2) space; therefore referring to the
‘now’ or ‘present’ of it, and the location to the ‘world’ or
‘worldly’ sense of it.


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
“Secularization” is defined as:
the deliverance of man “first from religious and then from
metaphysical control over his reason and his language” [1]

[1] Cornelis van Peursen, quoted by Harvey Cox ref: “Islam & Secularism” S.M.Naquib al-Attas p 17

“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
it is “the loosing of the world from religious and quasi-religious
understandings of itself, the dispelling of all closed world views,
the breaking of all supernatural myths and sacred symbols…


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
the ‘defatalization of history’
the discovery by man that he has been left with the world on his
hands, and he can no longer blame fortune or the furies for what
he does with it…;

“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
it is man turning his attention away from the worlds beyond and
towards this world and this time.”


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”

“Secularization”
 It encompasses:
not only political and social aspects of life, but also inevitably the
cultural, for it denotes “the disappearance of religious
determination of the symbols of cultural integration.”


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”

“Secularization”
 It implies:
“a historical process, almost certainly irreversible, in which
society and culture are delivered from tutelage to religious
control and closed metaphysical world views.”


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
Note to distinguish:

“Secularism” is the ‘ideology’
whereas ‘Secularization’, the
‘process’.


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
The integral components in the
dimensions of Secularization are:
[a] The “disenchantment” of nature,
- the freeing of nature from its religious overtones” (Max Weber)


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
[b] The “desacralization” of politics,
- the abolition of sacral legitimation of political power and authority, which
is the prerequisite of political change and hence also social change allowing
for the emergence of the historical process.”


“SECULARISM &
SECULARIZATION”
[c] The “deconsecration” of values.
- the rendering transient and relative all cultural creations and every value
system which for them includes religion and worldviews having ultimate
and final significance, so that in this way history, the future, is open to
change, and man is free to create the change and immerse himself in the
‘evolutionary’ process”

“Did you ever consider the case of him who took his
desire (HAWA’) as his god, and then Allah caused
him to go astray despite knowledge, and sealed his
hearing and his heart, and cast a veil over his sight?
Who, after Allah, can direct him to the Right Way?
Will you not take heed (AFALAA-TADZAK-KA-RUN)?
“
(Qur’an: Jaathiya : 45: 23)

They say: “There is no life other than our present worldly life:
herein we live and we die, and it is only (the passage of) time
that destroys us. Yet the fact is that they know nothing about
this and are only conjecturing (guessing).”
(Qur’an: Jaathiya: 45: 24)

“And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their
only contention is: “Bring back to us our fathers if you
are truthful.”


“Tell them, (O Prophet): “It is Allah Who gives you life and
then causes you to die, and He it is Who will then bring all of
you together on the Day of Resurrection, a Day regarding
which there can be no doubt. Yet most people do not know.”

“Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and on
the Day when the Hour (of Resurrection) shall come to pass, the
followers of falsehood shall be in utter loss (MUB-TWI-LUN).”


the followers of falsehood

the noun ‘

“mubtwil” derived from the verb ‘

abtwala” – meaning ‘he made a false [or vain] claim’, or
‘tried to disprove the truth [of something]’, or ‘to reduce
[something] to nothing’, or ‘to prove [it] to be of no account’,
or ‘null and void’, or ‘unfounded’ ‘false’ or ‘ spurious’ etc.
irrespective of whether the object is true or false, authentic
or spurious, valid or unfounded .
(Lisaan al-’Arab and Taaj-al’Arus)

“On that Day you shall see every people fallen on their knees.
Every people will be summoned to come forth and see its Record
and will be told: “Today you shall be requited for your deeds.”


“This is Our Record which bears witness against you with truth;
We used to record all what you did.”


“As for those who believe and act righteously, their Lord shall
admit them to His Mercy. That indeed is the manifest triumph.”


“But those who denied the Truth, they shall be told:
“Were My Signs not rehearsed to you? But you waxed
proud and became a guilty people (MUJRIMEEN).”

“And when it was said to them: “Surely Allah's promise is true, and
there is no doubt regarding the Hour of Resurrection,” you were wont
to say: “We do not know what the Hour (of Resurrection) is. We (think
these) are simply conjectures and (thus we) are not at all certain.”

(On that Day) the evil of their deeds will become
apparent to them and what they had mocked at
will encompass them, and it will be said: “We will
forget you today as you forgot the meeting of this
Day of yours. The Fire shall now be your abode,
and you shall have none to come to your aid.”
(Qur’an: Jaathiya: 45: 33-34)


“You reached this end because you made Allah's Signs an object
of jest and the life of the world deluded you.” So they shall not
be taken out of the Fire nor shall they be asked to make amends
(and thus please their Lord).”

“ So all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of
the earth, the Lord of the whole Universe. His is the glory in the
heavens and the earth. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise.”
(Qur’an: Jaathiya: 45: 36-37)
