“…within a secular or naturalistic moral framework, the suffering of children with bone cancer carries no inherent “injustice” at all. It is reduced to nothing more than a mere brute fact: the unintended consequence of blind biological processes, random genetic…+

Too often, when Muslims raise concerns about the pitfalls of modernity and the dominance of Western paradigms, their words are dismissed as abstract or overly theoretical. The impulse behind this dismissal is rooted in an impatience for immediate change, people want to see…+
…quick, tangible solutions, movements, or results as soon as discussions begin. This mentality is flawed because it reduces the problem to surface-level solutions while ignoring the deeper structures that actually shape societies. The West itself did not become dominant…+
…through a single political maneuver or one-time technological invention, but through centuries of shaping ideas, philosophies, and worldviews that then materialized into political, economic, and cultural power. To demand immediate results without laying the groundwork of…+

The present global and economic order relentlessly drives the Muslim towards accepting modern idolatry by restructuring the very conditions of survival. As @asharfouch explains in “Against the world”, the modern system does not simply ask for compliance, it demands a new…+
…ontology of man, where the human being is defined primarily as a consumer, producer, and citizen of the secular order. Muslims, faced with precarious economies, inflation, debt traps, and the dominance of multinational corporations, are pushed to prioritize material gain…+
…and systemic participation over fidelity to divine command. In this way, the modern market and state together function as idols, structuring life, time, and aspiration in ways that leave little space for Islam as a holistic deen. Even resistance is absorbed into this…+

The most comprehensive blueprint I’ve seen for an ideologically grounded and politically resolute action plan for Muslims is laid out by @asharfouch in his book “Against the World: Towards an Islamic Liberation Philosophy”

Harfouch’s solution to the ummah’s crisis rests on…+ Image
…reclaiming tawḥīd as the axis of liberation, a truth that does not merely exist in the abstract but dismantles the idols of self, capital, and state that dominate modern life. For him, tawḥīd is both a cosmic orientation and a political rallying point, grounding the…+
…ummah in an order that cannot be reduced to Western secular forms. By affirming God’s Oneness, Muslims also negate the legitimacy of worldly sovereignties that seek to rule in His place. This re-centering allows the ummah to rediscover its alterity, its radical difference…+

The general picture of the Muslim world as war-torn and ghettoized is not a natural outcome of Islam or Muslim societies, but the direct result of deliberate historical processes that sought to weaken and fragment them. The colonial powers dismantled flourishing Muslim…+

The reason it seems that most religions “get along” with the modern world while Islam stands out as stricter and more resistant is because many of those religions have already undergone a process of deep compromise. Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism have, to…+
…varying degrees, been reinterpreted or reshaped to align with secular liberal norms. Their doctrines and moral teachings were either privatized, restricted to personal spirituality, or selectively revised so they could coexist with the dominant worldview of modernity. For…+
…example, many Christian denominations now openly accept ideas that would have been unthinkable in their tradition’s past, from secular ethics on family and sexuality to uncritical allegiance to the modern nation-state. These compromises create the impression that such…+

“Muslims were sleeping while the West went through the Industrial Revolution,” is an all too common line used to explain why Muslims fell behind, but this narrative is both simplistic and misleading. The West’s Industrial Revolution was not a mere story of waking up earlier…+
