Today in many parts of the Arab and Musslem world , science , arts , and modern social concepts , are largely unknown or ignored , and of little interest to them . Truth about religion , the soul , eternity and early Islamic modes of living , they believe , are incomparably more important than truths about the body, nature , or contemporary sciences , since these pertain only to the darkness that constitute this world .
Only a handful of individual Musslems across the Arab world gained fragments of new scientific knowledge . No Arab or Musslem thinker of the last few centuries produced or even upheld a theory of the physical world as a whole , not even in rudimentary terms . It is an era without scientists , without artists or creators of futuristic and human progress ideas .
Whereas the world is striving to produce more of these inspired futurists , the Musslem and Arab world in general , is condemning what little they know of it as immoral , to them , it is not insignificant , but a threat , such worldly interests might provoke God's wrath , endanger one's salvation , and is not compatible with the prophet's own times and way of life .
Although man in general in our modern times , cannot claim to understand much about God's plan , the Musslems and their salafists , often refer to it . Explanation of most events , they believe , is one that identify , as far as possible , the Divine's will and hands in these events , whether it's political , social , family issues or the well being of individuals and or whole societies .
Some sad reflections on the situation governing a large segment of the world population . thanks for your time and patience , salamat.
