The following is the effort of Brother @AbuZayd. I thank him for this:
Summary of the first five pages:
1. The Quran is the ultimate means of guidance.
2. Quranic revelation rectified many incorrect beliefs.
3. Western culture has given us materialism and the pursuit of pleasure.
4. The West, in their condemnation of the corrupt clergy, rebelled against religion itself.
5. There can be no contradiction between divine revelation and reason.
6. Scientific knowledge is error prone, and changes with time as the tools of science evolve. Revealed knowledge is error free and eternal.
7. The Quran is not a book of scientific facts. It is a book of revelation and guidance.
8. Muslims incorrectly assume that scientific thought and progress are gifts of Western culture.
9. The Quran encourages, rather commands, us to ponder over the magnificence of creation.
10. In its golden age, Islam gave us inventors, scientists, astronomers, medical specialists, mathematicians, logicians, historians, geographers, discoverers, philosophers, grammarians, among many others.
11. Muslims and the West clashed for centuries, but remained superior because of their faith in Allah swt and because most Muslims fulfilled their religious duties.
12. When the crusades could not defeat Islamic jihad, the West focused on acquiring secular knowledge from the centers of study in the Islamic world.
13. They then took knowledge of Islamic theology, fiqh, hadith, philosphy, Arabic, history, and under the guise of independent research academically attacked the foundations of Islam.
14. And finally, they attacked Islam by propagating aspects of their culture and fashions that ran contrary to Islam.
(CNN)President Donald Trump on Monday urged the nation's governors to "seriously consider" reopening schools as part of his push to restart the economy, though many states have already recommended against resuming the school year.
"Some of you might start thinking about school openings, because a lot of people are wanting to have school openings. It's not a big subject, young children have done very well in this disaster that we've all gone through," Trump told the governors on a teleconference call, according to audio of the call obtained by CNN.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
