We are a thinking person's religion. Make no
mistake about it.
1 of the meetings of Antalid al Amatura
Bataha,
a servant girl will give birth to her
mistress.
One of the signs of the sa'ah of
the hour
given by the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam in
the famous Hadith of Gabriel.
One of the meanings of this Hadith
is that the modern West was born from
Islam,
that Europe in the late antique
was sunk in the dark ages.
Violence, disease, ignorance was rampant,
and it was Europe's contact
with Islam's intellectual tradition
that begot Western civilization
and brought them out of the dark ages.
And then the West turned around and colonized
and subjugated its mother, as it were.
The point is knowledge is at the centrality
of our tradition.
