Beware of becoming an ideologue at University.
The university space is notoriously filled with isms and schisms. Whether it’s orientalism, Marxism, or feminism - know that such isms tend to be ideologies: systems of ideas and ideals with their own architects, & loaded language.
Islam is the complete way of life revealed by our Creator. It is the source of our ideals and values. So remember that Islam contains its own framework for addressing oppression, for addressing the economy, for addressing women’s rights, politics, questions of philosophy & more.
Worldly isms were formulated in the minds of fallible human beings and at times, charlatans. Even academia itself cannot escape its internal conventions, biases, assumptions and poor scholarship. So be careful before you innocently adopt trends such as ‘cancel culture’ or...
...start use the latest loaded buzzword. You could be being sucked in to an ideology that is antithetical to Islam and this could lead to greater problems in your Deen.
