The
number of the cells/circuits in the brain which form the
thoughts/ the depth of the consciousness have very few
activities. Now, you may ask the question ‘’How could you
reach such a conclusion?’’
In order
to prove this fact there is no need to spend much effort.
We can
already see plenty of concrete data!
Just
look around and find out how many people you can see who can use
their minds, who keep away from formalism/from the
conditionings and who can act in accordance with the
universality in a conscious manner.
You will
agree with me, because such people are as few as the fingers
of a hand or may be less.
The lack
of thinking brings up the concept of being underdeveloped
especially in the Islamic world. However, this habit of
staying behind and being underdeveloped cannot go on.
In order
to be able to make more clear evaluations, it is necessary to
place the utmost importance to the positive sciences and in
short it is necessary to be in tune with the scientific findings
and conditions of our time.
In
making the religious comments taking as a basis the technical
discoveries of this age and approaching the subject from this
point does not belittle the individual, but in return it will
make one exalted and it will give the desired results.
As a
matter of fact, for centuries long repeating the same things
again and again in the same unchanging style is a type of
behaviour which is never approved by the creator too.
My
dear friends;
The
function of getting adapted to the developing technology/the
century is the duty of the human being who is accepted as the
best of all the created beings and who is the caliph. We
cannot expect some outsiders to come and change the
understanding of the human being as well as the society. There
is not such a power and it is impossible for such a power to
exist.
As a
matter of fact, in the Koran-al Kerim the great Haq says
‘’So long as a society does not change its conditon Allah will
not change it’’ (Rad-11). The interpretation of this verse
is ‘’Allah never accepts the human being to be idle and
pasified’’.
Let us
see how the deceased poet of our country Mehmet Akif who had
lived approximatley 100 years ago complains about being
underdeveloped in the following lines:-
Why
is Ýbn-i Sina absent? Where is Gazali, let us see.
Where are the scientists like Seyid, like Razi?
Your greatest superiority is
To look at five or ten commentaries and
Find a very simple/dry meaning.
Is it possible to satisfy the needs of
This religion by means of the masterpieces
That have become 700 years old?
No, never!
We must take the inspiration directly
From the Koran and let the
Perception (realisation) of the century speak about Islam.
This cannot be done by simple determination,
But it needs science.
I cannot see such a man that powerful,
If there is one you show me.
Today,
there is a very strong need for scientific, explanotory
knowledge as well as the men of wisdom who are in tune with
this age and who will enlighten the society.
Now, the
time has come to refer to the science unconditionally in order
to understand the basic indicators of Islam and its main
principles.
