No doubt, modernity has a lot of issues,
but we don't throw the baby out with
a bathwater.
The prophet
came into a pagan society.
They were
freaking crazy,
and he didn't, like, throw out everything.
It didn't get rid of their entire culture.
Even Tamia has a great statement. He said
Islam didn't come to the a cult to
destroy anyone's culture. It came to polish it.
It didn't come to it's impossible to ask
people to lose their entire culture, but it
came to to polish it.
So this
moment in the time of the prophet
teaches us that we should seize the best
opportunities to communicate, and we should never use
the name of religion
to justify holding on to something which is
archaic
culturally or socially
if there's a new better way that doesn't
compromise
our religion.
