Western Civilization and Islam
~ 179 ~
“We will show them our signs in the universe, and
in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to
them that this is the truth (41:53).
It is thanks to the bearers of western civilization that
a great number of new facts concerning the world
of nature have been discovered. These facts serve to
prove the authenticity of Islam on scientific bases.
For the reasons mentioned above, I am certain that
western civilization cannot be regarded as a
manifestation of Dajjal, as is claimed by extremists.
On the contrary, in terms of its unlimited
possibilities, it offers a God-sent support for Islam.
It has produced all the means and resources
essential to the successful carrying out of Islamic
da’wah, all over the world. This mission can be
properly performed only by exploiting all the
possibilities offered by modern times.
This process has already been set in motion. Today
hundreds and thousands of people are accepting
Islam each day, having found it to be a religion in
perfect harmony with nature.
