 There is still a great deal of false awar eness of secularism, which came from the West and interacted with the peoples of the region, especially in the early twentieth century after the shock of modernity, and after another shock represented by the Atatürk of Ataturk and the Turkish developments, which inspired some that secularism is an anti-religious state, any case of total conflict with it, no matter how diverse the forms of religion and ways of understanding it, and the diversity of forms of secularism and ways of understanding it as a framework for social life, there remains the truth of religion, which considers God absolute infinite, and that it is over everything powerful, and faith in God and his ability and responsibility is absolute

Secularism in all its forms and forms means the separation of religion from the world, that is, the separation of religion from the state, that is, from politics, which is by its nature and its worldly interests, the relationship of man with God is a personality that is not social, and social is synonymous and a translation of politics, secularism as a method of social life that negates any socio-political character of religion, secularism has nothing to do with individual religious affiliation, which by its nature is a special affiliation

The European Renaissance was founded on secularism, and secularism now prevails in successful societies according to the standards of this era, the rule of delay in the Middle East, makes the search for a framework through which progress can be advanced is logical and necessary, as there is no rational person who refuses to progress except for Arabs, and like any new progressive idea, secularism has been subjected to a lot of misunderstandings among Arabs, especially at the point of separation of religion from the state, as some believed that in social secularism there is no religious values, and some tendencies to takfir saw that secularism atones for every believer, so rejecting secularism is a religious duty, such as the duty of secularism in fighting religious takfir, blasphemy in both cases exclusion, and exclusion is a major source of crisis

Secularism developed the concept of the sacred by giving it a human essence socio-economic (in Europe), and thus saved this concept from extinction, by transforming the sacred into a system of neutrality for the daily life of the earth, the changing and developed positive law became sacred, and the religious holy became its own space and independence, secularism provided religion with protection by keeping it away from the fluctuations and developments of politics, and thus the possibility of remaining as a sacred in its own space, that is, enabled it to rehabilitate itself socially and not only individually, i.e. the establishment of social religion!!, which turned into a worldly morality that takes care of the symbols and outlines of the development of life, and does not falter or fall into the pitfalls of the particles related to the ethics and details of daily life such as clothing or food or servant and so on, secularism enabled religion in its space, and therefore the essence of religion “has the effect of being a religion” and therefore a greater religion to have a religion, or its essence

Political Islam with its characteristics as a state and religion without an official priesthood stood in the way of itself, and whatever the sacredness of it as a state, this special is no longer straight with this era, it rejects the priesthood in theory, but it is not able to prevent any human being from aging, the name of the jurists and scholars on the ageing class saved religion theoretically from the classical priesthood, but it allowed the impunity of jurists and scientists in demagoguery like it, he could not control them, so they turned into a reference that is not legitimate, but it is legitimate, this formation increased the difficulties of adapting the political brotherhood to secularism compared to the ease of adaptation of religion in Europe to secularism

Because of ignorance and illiteracy, the concept of secularism was confused in the minds of some groups, and to a greater degree confused the concept of religion in their minds as well, the category that deals with these topics explanation, interpretation, promotion and care of the public Muhammadiyah is the category of jurists, who failed religion to rituals and worship and then intimidation and desires, and failed secularism to the system of the elevite is the only exercise of blasphemy and fight the believers and then eliminate the hope of the Mohammedan man in Paradise

The problem has been exacerbated for many reasons, including the lack of interaction and dialogue in a society for a legacy of dialogue and hindered by sanctification and oral culture (Friday sermons), in society there is a category with a high modern education and Western culture, and there is an illiterate majority or with a simple traditional education and oral culture, the interaction and dialogue of these groups with each other was like a dialogue of deafness, i.e. they do not understand each other, so the automatic social self-enlightenment faltered, and the simple human convulsion on the virtual religious savior, while the other party increased resentment of religion, because religion is a major reason for the alienation of social groups from each other, and the general alienation of life, there is another category that had the largest sole in the distortion of concepts, is the category of the nominists, these practiced religious trade and raised religious slogans to gain legitimacy, while the religion was far from it, while it is a long way to religion, which is far from it

The origin in secularism is the transformation of man into an actor in life, into a force that comes from the self, and not a human being who is a novelty to the will of God and subject to his will. What secularism wants is the creation of a human being under negativity and dependency. Secularism refuses to surrender to the so-called rule of God, who erects the unjust ruler and demands his obedience. Secularism does not recognize that hunger, poverty, delay and other will of God, and does not recognize that God is the one who wanted some groups of setbacks and misfortunes, which are linked by religious concepts and clerics absolutely with the will of God, and why does God do that 

Religion and its men have attached to man another personality that contradicts his personality, and thus be a double human being lost between himself and the negative dependent fatalism that has been attached to him, the dissociation of man is tantamount to the foundation of his disability, and the obstruction of progress only as a result of the human being with schizophrenia
