ISLAM AND THE CRISIS OF THE MODERN WORLD! THE SECOND PART!

in #religion5 years ago

Hi,

Let's discuss on this part with the second part.

The most noted figure among them is the astronomer Sir James Jeans,

who started his intellectual career as a Godless skeptic but was led

finally by is scientific explorations to the conclusion that the greatest

problems of science could not be resolved without believing in God.

The famous sociologist jeans Bridge went so far as to eulogize Islam

for achieving a successful amalgam of the temporal with the spiritual

into a harmonious system of thought blended with a practical code

of life. The well-known English writer Somerset Maugham epitomized

the whole attitude of modern Europe towards religion when he

remarked that Europe had in the present era discovered a new god

Science, in place of the old one.

The god of science has, however, turned out to be extremely fickle,

ever-changing and constantly shifting positions, upholding one thing

as a fact and reality today and the reaction it another day as false

and spurious. Consequently, its worshippers are doomed to

a perpetual state of restlessness and anxiety, for how can they find

rest and peace of mind under such a capricious god? That the

modern west is afflicted with this uncertainty and restlessness

is borne out by a large number of psychological and disorders

that is so common in modern society today.

Yet another result of this deification of modern science is that

the world we live in had become devoid of all meaning and purpose

with no higher order or power to guide it. Tension and conflict

between different forces have become the order of the day. As

a result, everything in this word suffers change: economic and

political systems change relations between states and individual

alter: even scientific facts change. What can a man expect to save

misery and perpetual restlessness in a world with such a somber

setting where no Higher Power exists whom he should turn to for

support, strength, and comfort in this ruthless struggle of life?

It is religion and religion alone that can bring peace and tranquillity

to the world. It installs Inman love for goodness and the courage

to stand up to the forces of evil and tyranny was a necessary

condition of obtaining God's pleasure and to make His will

predominant on this earth awaiting with patience for his reward

in the Hereafter. Doe snot mankind really need peace, tranquillity,

and comfort, in a word, religion.
