During the conference & nbsp; whose activities were launched today on Westernization of Islamic and Arabic Sciences, he emphasized & nbsp; Doctor & nbsp; With attempts to dismantle identity, marginalize heritage, and reshape the Muslim mind according to foreign references & ndash; One of the most prominent challenges facing Islamic and Arab sciences in the modern era. Westernization was not just an import of means or tools, but rather penetration in the curricula of thinking, in language, but rather in understanding the legal texts themselves. That Dr. Abdel Wahab Al -Masiri in his intellectual encyclopedia. And that & nbsp; by depicting them as symbols of backwardness and closure, and accusing the entire Islamic heritage of the inability to keep pace with the times, which is an Orientalist view that was transferred to us from the West without scrutiny. He explained: This requires several solutions, the first of which is to return to the middle Al -Azhari approach that combines transportation and reason, between originality and contemporary, and the second matter is to restore consideration to the Arabic language as the language of identity and thought, not just a communication tool, in addition to renewing Islamic sciences from the inside, according to an authentic critical vision, as he called by Imam Muhammad Abdo, Dr. Taha Abdel Rahman, and others. Islamic in Latin America is going on this approach, as we study the legal sciences in the Arabic language, while ensuring the formation of a balanced critical mentality among our students, from the children of Muslim communities in the Diaspora, who are most in need of understanding their religion with an understanding & correctly, correcting them from excessive fascination with the West, without depriving them from the tools of the times.
Metwally & nbsp; He said: & nbsp; Dean of the College of Islamic and Arab Studies & ndash; On Karim Da`wah, good organization, and warm reception. I also revive all the blessed scientific efforts made by the college in the service of the Arabic language and Islamic sciences, praying to God to make this conference a step on the path of renewing and renaissance of the nation.
