[quote]Assalamu’alaikum,

For interpreting Quran and Ahadith, I follow the traditional approach learned from my forefathers. I favour the modernism but confuse and fail to find the way. If we take the word modernism I can understand that Islam is the modern religion to all the others and this concept is perhaps deceiving others. But we have to appreciate and acknowledge the understanding of others (modern) too who want to help to live in the times of today.

So far as my knowledge is concerned, I have thought A PARAMETER to assess the approaches (modern or traditional) that is to know “Aims and Objectives of Islam”. The approach that would be found more near the aims and objectives of Islam must be declared as, more right to follow, removing all the confusions.

So, what are aims and objectives of Islam and how they can influence the way of our understanding? Furthermore if we agree on the modern one then we have to change in the subsequent years accordingly. Would we have to divide Islam, for example, into various periods like Islam of 1990s, 2000s, 2010s etc. If so then what will happen to the different peoples after 100 years to give any reference of the past. Does not it seem to create more something like Shia, Sunni, Brelvee, Deobandi etc.

My mind is not preoccupied. I would do agree if anybody succeeds to improve the understanding.

Wassalam![/quote]
