The True Jihad
Non-Violence and Islam
~ 83 ~
Modern man aspired to freedom as the highest
good, but once having reached this goal, he was
unable to set reasonable limits to freedom. In
consequence, unrestrained freedom descended into
anarchy and lawlessness. This is the actual cause of
many of the problems which are emerging in
modern times in western society. Now man
requires an ideology which delimits his freedom,
drawing the line between desirable and undesirable
freedom. And it is only Islam which can provide
him with such an ideology.
Now is the time for this
ideology to be presented to
man, who is ready and waiting
to accept it. After the fall of
communism (1991), the world
is faced with an ideological
vacuum. This vacuum can be
filled by Islam alone. In the present world the
developed countries have become economic or
military superpowers, but the place is vacant for
an ideological superpower, and that, potentially
belongs to Islam.
A
dawah
mission cannot
afford wars and
violent
confrontations.
