What we're all doing here!
Really, it is an illustration of the minimum that is required by all Muslims. If each one of us gels together in search for the truth, we will surely find Allah our Friend and Helper.
...inspire people to have an educated approach in all matters of life. Whereby, education does not necessarily connotate formal education; rather, the efforts to look at ourselves and our history with a critical eye, to evaluate all of that with an unbiased disposition, and a commitment to act.
Wasalaam.

assalamoalaykum/peace
thats v. right sr.
and to summarize we can look at the "mission" statement of monthly islamic journal Renaissance
www.monthly-renaissance.com and this website we r chatting on
islamic revolution has to b thru intellectual and academic change
not by opening more and more "jaamias" in the name of particular sects for which every ramadan people come to these countries from our dear country pak. to collect money from local mosques here in thousands
and apparently thousands of students r qualifying from these ja'mias every yr. back home
but still we can't see that islamic way of life, let alone revolution, there
why?
we were discussing last nite in a group that probably b/c these institutions r working to spread their own school of thought/maslak only and how to defend them with arguements;
not true islam from Qura'n and the beloved Prophet's(sws) Sunnah
i wish people had helped those v. few institutes and people who r really working on the right lines
regards

And I would like to add that being educated does not entail the acquiring of knowledge so much as it does an educated approach.
...that being the determination in an individual to not accept any information brought his or her way, to question and probe it with sincerity, to accept, reject or design it accordingly, and of course, to be open to critique and change.
Wasalaam.

Salams,
Thank u for ur posts!
Allama Iqbal,in his last days,was fervently obsessed with Islamic Renaissance.For this purpose he and a certain Ch.Niaz Ali set up an islamic Institute "Dar-ul-Islam" in Pathankot.He wanted to groom a new breed of intellectuals,armed with Islamic and modern education,to pave the way for Islamic Renaissane.
For this purpose he wrote to the rector of Al-Azhar university to send a scholor for but he did not receive encouraging response.At last Ch.Niaz Ali and Iqbal turned to Maududi sahib.Maududi Sahib and Maulana Islahi came to Dar-ul-Islam.But Muadudi sahib,s obsession with politics made him leave Dar-ul-Islam for the greener pastures of politics.
And the institute and the work petered out.
I think Almawrid is another effort like Dar-ul-Islam.It can be an harbinger of Islamic renaissance. |

insha'Allah
but we need to help their cause by helping them spread their word as well as financially if possible and ofcourse with duas
as generally people think helping in Allah's way is helping mosques and certain madrassahs only
they need to b told that this work is for Islam's and Allah's and the beloved's(sws) cause as well
regards
wassalaam
