The need for an intellectual approach to the Lagrahontas is a common misperception. The Quran explains that there is a time when people will need to shutdown their beliefs and become less influenced by popular ideologies. The work of theugging group is designed to empower individuals to share and defend Islam, and to ask for donations to fund a study on the topic.

The need for an intellectual approach to the
Dua is something not new. 14th century scholar
Ibn Timir said that there will come a
time when we will need to revive the
rational arguments of the Quran. In fact, he
argued that there was no contradiction between sound
reason
and the book of Allah. The Quran itself
indicates the significance of this type of Dua
describing as a great
struggle. So
do not obey those who reject the truth
and strive against them with it, meaning the
Quran,
a great striving.
Many scholars such as Ibn Hazam, Al Alusi
and others argued using the arguments of the
Quran, engaging in dua is the highest form
of jihad. This was echoed by the student
of Ibn Temiar
describing as the superior form of struggle. Why
would our scholars
emphasize
this type of Dua? The wisdom,
the Hikma is clear. Intellectual pursuits have transformed
the world. The modern era pays testimony to
their impact. Ideas are the lifeblood of civilization
and they begin
the moment ink has been spilled. However,
thoughts are not imprisoned on the paper they
are written on. They penetrate the hearts and
minds of people
subsequently
changing their behavior. A cursory glance at the
history of ideas
can kill. Looking at the history of ideologies
that have impacted our community and the entire
world, ideas such as darwinism, liberalism,
secularism, post modernism, atheism and zionism,
they all started
as an idea and they were all supported
and funded by people who believed in them.
Take the pandemic of apostasy in the West
as an example. Pew Research,
a reputable
nonpartisan
fact tank concluded
that in the
US, Islam
gains about as many converts as it loses.
No matter how many people embrace Islam, people
will always be affected by the dominant ideology.
The point here is bad ideas
can only be overcome
by good ideas.
This is why we need Sapiens Institute to
not only challenge these bad ideas,
but to share and defend the greatest idea
Islam.
However, ideas take time to develop and filter
down to the general population. They require inspired
minds
and liberated hearts to share them to all
levels of society. In the perennial war of
ideas,
they also
require defending.
Sapiens Institute was created to dedicate itself
to courageously
and intellectually share Islam and to defend its
message with a focus
on supporting,
developing
and creating individuals
and organizations
to engage in this vital work. In just
under 4 years, we have trained over 40,000
people and defended and shared Islam
to millions around the world. Now
is the time to take this dua
to the next level.
We aim to double our efforts and we
need you to donate this unique,
important,
rewardable
and transformative work. Alhamdulillah.

we have had over 1,250
