This is our cultural structure
■ Belief in one Allah
{And who is better in religion than he who submits his face to Allah and is a doer of good, and follows the religion of Ibrahim, upright, and takes Allah as Ibrahim as a friend}
■ People came out of one soul
{O people, fear your Allah, who created you from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and dispersed from them many men and women, and fear Allah, by whom you ask, and the relatives. Indeed, Allah is a Watcher over you.}
■ Religion and the tongue are the first nature…the first nature is the same
{So set your face upright towards the religion. Allah created the manner in which He created the people. There is no altering Allah’s creation. That is the upright religion, but most people do not know.}
{And He taught Adam the names}
■ Man emerged from one civilization… in one place (Umm al-Qura), and what is located there is the first house written for people and the first book revealed to people.
{And when Ibrahim raised the foundations of the House and Ismail, “Our Allah, accept from us. Indeed, You are the Hearer, the Knowing. (127) Our Allah, and make us Muslims to You and from our descendants a nation submissive to You. Show us our rituals and turn to us. Indeed, You are the Most Merciful. (128) Our Allah, and send among them a Messenger from among themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and the Wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Mighty, the Wise (129)}
{And this is a book which We have sent down, blessed, confirming what is before it, and that you may warn the Mother of Cities and those around it. And those who believe in the Hereafter will believe in it, and they will observe their prayers.}
■ The language of the religious text is the same and does not change.
{We sent it down as reciters in Arabic, so that you may understand.}
{And if We had made it a non-Arab Qur’an, they would have said, “If only its verses had been explained in detail. Is it a non-Arab or an Arabic?” Say, “It is for those who believe a guidance and a cure.” And for those who do not believe, there is deafness in their ears, and it is upon them blindness. Those are called from a far away place.)
——————————
But what are the characteristics of the cultural structure of the West and how does the discourse in the Qur’an address them?!
The essence of the cultural intention in the West is based on pluralism, and this thing is based on the idea of allowing choice and pluralism…..or freedom of choice.
Multiple gods
If you look at the civilization of Greece, which the West places as the mother of their civilization and cultural structure, you will find that society believed in a great council of gods and the council had great gods. He was the one who managed the affairs of the council of gods… in a scene similar to the democratic scene that exists in Western countries.
Of course, we only learned about the Greek civilization through the books of the printer, and there is no clear archaeological evidence confirming that world, but some believe that this first cultural structure (the Greek civilization), which believed in the sight of those gods, was reflected in the reality of the West, and was embodied in reality in A democratic scene in an elected House of Representatives… and so on.
It is natural that some within our cultural structure will see the comparison and reach that analysis, and will reach the conclusion that: “In order to reach this reality, it was necessary to reform the structure of our culture, to resemble that Greek structure, which is the cultural context of the West.”
We have an example that confirms this result, which is the poet Adonis, who said it in one of the newspapers a while ago, to the effect that: [The reasons for the stagnation of our mind are due to the culture of monotheism, citing the example of the Greek civilization, which believed in multiple gods, which gave the Greek mind freedom of choice. This freedom gave the mind the freedom to create scientific, intellectual, literary, etc.]
And here is the trap… Why?
The term (freedom of choice) is a beautiful term, and an attempt to represent a conflict in the tangible reality between dictatorship and the freedom of democracy, and its transfer of existential issues related to the reality of man on earth, and this thing makes many fall into the trap of the term and into the trap of this wrong representation.
Because people in today’s world can no longer distinguish between reality and imagination. The world of reality is governed by strict and rigid laws, while the world of imagination is governed by freedom of choice and transcends the laws of reality.
And this problem that Adonis fell into… because the world of Greece is not a real world and there was no such world in reality, it is a project of Western creation of an imaginary world present in a printer, to create a cultural origin on earth that is different from reality. It was on the ground.
In other words…the world of the Greek gods was created by people in reality, and not the other way around. The world of the Greek gods was created by people in reality. It is an imaginary world created by the Western world, an attempt to represent reality in an ancient imaginary world so that it is the same. A cultural structure of the West… so that it has superior authority.
Not Adonis, but also Western figures who asked questions in this context, expressing their strangeness at the arrival of a religion from the East in Yemen and the disappearance of that civilization.
Some Western thinkers expressed the problem of politics in the concept of Allah in the minds of societies, when they compared the Allah in Greece and the Allah in the East that came with Christianity, and how the Greek Allah’s job was to protect only the Greek cities, while the Allah in the East was responsible for every creation. .
Also……. Some will believe that the Greek cultural structure of multiple gods is the context from which the Western religion (Christianity) emerged, which believes in multiple gods and three hypostases, but as we said, freedom of choice is not an ancient context, but rather a modern work. They tried to give it an ancient context through imaginary books, to make it look like a realistic natural context to confirm this reality.
What is the response of the revelation speech to this structure?
Revelation addresses people with an innate, natural logic… How is it possible for there to be an easy thing? If there had been an easy thing, every Allah would have gone with what He created and life would not have existed.
{Allah did not take any son, nor was there any Allah with Him. Then every Allah would have taken away what He had created, and some of them might have risen above others. Glory be to Allah for what they describe.}
Also… when revelation addresses people with logic, not on the basis that people do not understand logic, but for another reason, in order to address the imaginary world of Greece on earth, and tell them that ancient man had logic like you do now, and this logic does not allow him to think. It is easy for a person, because life will be spoiled.
{And if the truth had followed their desires, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been corrupted. Rather, We had brought them their remembrance, so they turned away from their remembrance.}
And he says to them…. If you wanted to be sure that the first ancient man believed in one Allah, we would have given them a memory (memory) of the ancients, so that they could be sure, but they disbelieved in him, and they invented for the earth and the ancient man a new, fictitious story about a society that believes in a council of gods.
{Or have they taken gods from the earth that they are spreading? (21) Had there been gods in them except Allah, they would have been corrupted, so Glory be to Allah, Allah is the Throne for what they describe. (22) He is not asked about what He does, but they are asked (23) Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, “Bring your proof.” This is a mention of who is with me, and a mention of those who Before me, but most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away (24)}
After they used to say… If a memory had come to us from the ancients, and we had been certain that the people were worshiping Allah, we would have worshiped Allah sincerely… Then the remembrance came to them, but they disbelieved in it.
{And if they were to say (167) If only We had a remembrance of the ancients (168) We would have been sincere servants of Allah (169) Then they disbelieved in him, but they will know (170)}
And the revelation speaks… about the afterlife. I became astonished that someone would say that the first religion worshiped one Allah… after the mention that was found in the books of the ancient peoples came to them.
{And they were astonished that a warner from among them had come to them, and the disbelievers said, “This is a lying magician. (4) Make the gods into one Allah. Indeed, this is a wondrous thing. (5) And the chiefs among them set out, ‘Go and be patient with your gods. This is something intended.’ (6) We have not heard of this in the afterlife. This is nothing but fabrication. (7) Have I sent down to him the Remembrance from among us? Nay, they are in doubt about My Remembrance, nay, when they have tasted the torment.}
So this structure… has disbelieved in a reality on earth.
■ Man appeared as a result of multiple human beings
This is the essence of Darwin’s theory, which the West is striving to make a doctrine, in the name of science, imposing it in educational curricula as an absolute truth, and fighting those who reject it.
Did the proponents of this theory witness the process of a human being splitting from a monkey or a mouse? Did they witness that moment of splitting for other animals?
The Qur’an speaks that man was created from one soul…and that Shaytan and his descendants are trying to mislead people with false theories, and Allah never made them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth nor the creation of themselves.
{And when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” so they prostrated, except Iblis. He was of the jinn and disobeyed the command of his Allah. Will you then take him and his descendants as allies besides me, and they are to you a wretched enemy of the wrongdoers in exchange? (50) I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor to the creation of themselves, and I would not take those who go astray as a support. (51)}
So this structure… wants to mislead people.
■ Humans emerged from multiple civilizations.
This is the essence of the structure of the West, and you find this characteristic very clearly apparent, in the books they write about the history of the region. There are so many civilizations, multiple valleys, and multiple languages. The region is crowded with the names of countless peoples and countless states, as well. You find this characteristic very apparent in their religious book (the Bible), as people talk about many races, multiple peoples, nationalities, religions, etc.
What is the response of the revelation speech to this structure?
The discourse of the Qur’an, it deals on the basis that the people are one and the land is one, the discourse of a first nature on the earth…. and it deals with the people on the basis that they were one nation, and the differences occurred because of disbelief that occurred on the part of the people of the Western cultural structure…….. So that this structure can mislead and seduce those with a single cultural structure.
{The people were one nation, so Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good tidings and warnings, and sent down with them the Book with the truth, that He might judge between the people in that in which they differed, and none differed in it except those who were given it, after the clear proofs had come to them, out of envy among themselves. So Allah guided those who believed to the truth to the truth, with His permission, Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path. }
So this structure… has disbelieved in a reality on earth
■ Religion and the tongue are a human invention… It is the interpretation of multiple religions and languages.
This is a direct, natural result of Darwin’s theory. This development dictates that man will invent religion and language, which he will develop as a result of learning it from other beings.
This structure relied on the idea of religion on the issue of man trying to approach nature. The essence of religion in it is based on the fact that nature created the idea of religion in man… while this structure deliberately ignores the first idea that comes to man’s mind, which is: death… why? Death and what is after death?!
This structure also depends on the idea that there are religions that preceded Islam (Judaism and Christianity) from the same source from which Islam came, in an evolutionary stage similar to Darwin’s theory.
You are also surprised by this structure, which believes that most animals have languages that communicate between them without learning it from another animal, but rather by nature, while this same structure believes that another animal (the human being) learned the language from an animal and it is not an innate nature within it.
What is the response of the revelation speech to this structure?
The revelation speaks that religion is an innate nature in the first human being, and that there is no change in Allah’s creation, and that Islam is the first religion on earth, and all the religions that claim to have religions that came from the same source of Islam are a difference and not an origin, and this difference came after Islam.
{So set your face upright towards the religion. Allah created the manner in which He created the people. There is no altering Allah’s creation. That is the upright religion, but most people do not know.}
{The religion with Allah is Islam, and those who were given the Book did not differ except after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then Allah is quick to judge. (19) And if they dispute with you, say, “I have submitted my face to Allah, and whoever follows them.” And say to those who were given the Book and to the unlettered people, “Have you submitted?” If they submit, then they are guided, even if they turn away. It is your responsibility only to convey the message; Allah is All-Seer of His servants (20)}
He says that the names in the human tongue are an innate nature that comes first from the Creator, and that all creatures, like humans, are nations like us, and they have languages of communication, but we do not understand the languages of their communication.
{And when your Allah said to the angels, “Indeed, I will place a caliph on earth,” they said, “Will you place therein someone who will spread corruption therein and shed blood while we glorify Your praise and sanctify You?” He said, “Indeed, I know what you do not know.” (30) And He taught Adam all the names, then presented them to the angels, and said, “Inform me of the names of these, if you are truthful.”
{And there is not an animal on the earth nor a bird that flies with its wings except nations like you. We have not neglected anything in the Book. Then to their Allah they will be gathered.}
{The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him, and there is nothing that does not glorify His praise, but you do not understand their praise. Indeed, He is Forbearing, Forgiving.}
So this structure… has disbelieved in a reality on earth
■ The language of the religious text is multiple.
The West believes in the Book of the Bible, which is somewhat similar to the Holy Qur’an. It contains names of prophets, but their names are distorted from the names in the Qur’an, and it contains stories that are somewhat similar to the stories of the prophets in the Qur’an. However, the West never believes in a single language for this book. It believes in this book in multiple languages. Multiple (Spanish, Italian, French, English, German, Hungarian, etc.)… and this thing was reflected in their reality. Although, according to what they say, they are of one origin, they are different in their languages despite their proximity to each other, and in a strange and confusing way, they are crowded with many languages.
What is the response of the revelation speech to this structure?
The revelation speaks that the first tongue is Arabic, and it is the tongue of the Book, and that this Western cultural structure knows this truth, but it disbelieved in it, hid it, and created a book that kind of resembles (the Qur’an of the Book) in a different language, so that the people of the one cultural structure think it is a book from Allah.
{A Book whose verses are explained in detail by our readers in Arabic for a people who know}
{And among them is a group who twist their tongues with the Book so that you think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book, and they say, “It is from Allah,” but it is not from Allah, and they say a lie about Allah while they know. (78) It is not for a human being that Allah should give him the Book and wisdom and prophecy. Then He says to the people, “Be my servants without Allah, but be divine because you know the Book and what you study (79)}
So this structure… has disbelieved in a reality on earth
———————-
So the story between the structure of our culture and the structure of Western culture is the story of a cultural structure that possesses a truth that resists an infidel cultural structure.
{Say, “It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous Qur’an’ (1) that guides to maturity, so we believe in it, and we will not associate anyone with our Allah (2) and that He, the Most High, is the Grandfather of our Allah. He has not taken a consort or a son (3) and that the foolish one used to say something wrong about Allah. (4) And we thought that mankind and jinn would never say a lie against Allah (5) and that there were men from among mankind seeking refuge with men from among the jinn, so they increased their burden (6) and that they thought as you thought that Allah would not send anyone (7)}
