Secularism has given the sacred a social mission, through which religion transformed from a personal matter to a social one, and the social character of the sacred is what makes it a contiguous and twin to life , it is the secular sacred!!!, and if there is a sacred !! Sanctity is due to its function to serve human, and the service of human is variable according to the variability of life-condition and its development
therefore sanctification cannot be constant ,but rather evolving, changing, ,Secularism has transformed the sacred into adapted to the daily course of life ,in harmony with its requirements, it has transformed it into values and ethics, that do not reject change and development
Therefore, what the mind approves ,cannot be inconsistent with the sacred, and even with the will of God ,and with the spirit of the religion, that God established for service to human , it is inconceivable, that the wisdom of God is inconsistent with the wisdom of the human mind, And his wisdom, and thus the representative of the will and wisdom of religions
simplifying the secularism and limiting it to the contradicting religion with the state, cannot alone explain the success of secularism in the West and its faltering in the orient,in addition ,There are other factors, including the success of secularism in benefiting from religion through transforming it into a social actor, by eliminating the personal character of religion and eliminating sanctity, which means the transformation of religion into a secular matter ,that can be reformed, because it acceptable and subject to criticism., There is no reform without criticism ,or reform of a concept that rejects any change in its nature, whatever this nature.
Giving a social characteristic to religion in the West was not difficult, but very easy, especially after the successful coup against the power of religion and its monopoly on the worldly and divine authority, The matter due, at least in part, to the decline of the priesthood function there, there is no existence of alphabet illiteracy, all people are able to read and write, and able to understand and comprehend, so priesthood is no longer necessary and required for the “enlightenment” of human beings who practice self-enlightenment, The task of the priesthood is reduced according to the need for this task. When the need evolves towards zero, the priesthood existence and its effects develop towards zero as well,
Compared with the Islamic East, which denies the existence of the priesthood, reality seems differnt, and there no need for much cleverness to prove the existence of a class of clerics or the so-called scholars, and scholars have the solution , and therefore they are a priesthood monopolising jurisprudence and then understanding religion And its interpretation in a manner that is commensurate with what they see right, and the appropriate crystallised in most cases in a manner consistent with personal or factional interest
In our East, there is only scholars, enabling them to monopolise the issue of solution , and it is due to the inability of the majority of people to participate in making the solution , the reason here is illiteracy, explaining religion has turned due to illiteracy into an order of verbal indoctrination, which is not in line with simulation, criticism, consultation, and the derivation of knowledge through discussion. What the sheikh or “scholar” said can only be true, because the sheikh does not present in the process of indoctrination the concept and its substitute or its opposite, One look, and because of illiteracy, the recipient cannot search and investigate … and he cannot but surrender to the deceptive, and thus most of the conditions of the herd are fulfilled.
In addition to the alphabet illiteracy obstructing the investigation and searching for concepts that are different or contradictory to what the preacher and instructor says and the threatening threat, there is another illiteracy that the school consecrated, which did not convey to the young people the meanings and modern civilised values. Others related to the culture of eternity and drinking. The school lied and taught lies, turned the criminal into a role model and obliterated the history of the people in proportion to the consolidation of the glories of Bedouin Arabism. The school did not teach the practice of the arts of criticism, but rather relied on transmission, indoctrination and memorisation Monotheism … everything is one … thought, opinion and position … one and one … for the sake of the philosophy of national unity, which can only serve as a hatchery to domesticate dictatorship, there is no longer one dictator in Arab countries, everyone in these countries has turned into a dictator.ke to see you in Germany ,as soon as possible,
