[quote]<p align=justify>I thank you for your comments. I would request you to please also respond to the following question:

<p align=justify>In this period in which intellectual anarchy pervails and religious values and commandments are being forsaken, what can we do to help Islamic civilization to perpetuate?

What I mean is: during these times, it is hardly possible to induce people to stick to the religiously ordained practices, how can we exhort them to also adhere to their culture?

<p align=justify>My view point is that a culture is the ultimate manifestation of the principles on which it is based, that is, the divine decrees of Islam. The religion translates into a culture and as the religion becomes a cutural value to adhere to, almost all people stick to the religion--because it becomes a social value to stick to the religion not to mention the reward in the Hereafter. When deterioration ensues in religiosity, the culture of a people first vanishes. First, the cultural value of cherishing deep love for parents and kids and providing for them vanishes, then it kills the family institution, then freedom for every kind of filthy relationship...

<p align=justify>Therefore, at the root, preservation of Islamic civilization is crucially important. But how to preserve?
