understand that Islam has nothing to fear from reason and so to open their hearts and minds to rational thought… Islamic reformation can be understood in two different ways. It can mean the reform of society to bring it back to what have been considered Islamic norms and values: most Islamic and Islamist reformers are pursuing this type of reform. The other reform strategy is to question the existing understanding of Islam and seek to articulate a reformed understanding of Islam: this is where Islamic modernists and rationalists have always plied their trade. Here, Ijtihad is employed as an instrument to critique prevalent understanding and articulate a more compassionate, more modern and perhaps even a more liberal understanding.” Comments: As we can see… (i) Ijtihad is falsely given a definition similar to philosophy - "quest for truth through… rationalism, human experience, critical thinking." [Two Theories of Ijtihad] (ii) Muslims are asked to follow the deviant ways of the philosophers that confused and misguided even someone as pious and knowledgeable as Imam Al-Ghazzali. - 57 -
(iii) Islam should not be equated with sharee'ah (the teachings of Islam as a way of life)… and this begets the question, What should Islam, the way of life based upon revelation to Prophet Muhammad �be equated with? (iv) Reformation is to "question the existing understanding of Islam" and make it "a more compassionate, more modern, more liberal." Subhaan'Allah! Islam is after all, the Command of the Most Compassionate revealed 1400 years back to liberate mankind from the worship of the creation to the worship of the Creator. - 58 -
