I must at the outset of expressing my happiness immersive term Arab-Islamic culture , which stated in the title proposed by the Department of Culture and Information of this lecture is the naming right for this culture because they reflect honestly about the content of this culture and shape are Arab because it is the result of the Arab environment and because the Arabs first of the shares in and transported to worlds, because the Messenger mission « r » Arabic and because her tongue which was revealed by the Koran Arabic but , above all, carried the message of Islam message of God Conclusion of all mankind so that more than three quarters belonged to non-Arab has contributed to these significant contribution to the civilization and culture since the Jump Islam outside the Arabian Peninsula and those that took the mostly Arab SANA understanding of Muslims and non-Arabs , but they may تعربوا virtue of this tongue for saying « r » is not Arab of you the father nor Um but Arabic tongue , it spoke in Arabic is Arabic or so he said . And therefore talk about the Arab - Islamic culture talk about this culture in their own home in a Muslim country . Despite the issuance of more than one hundred language are the Muslims in the world are in essence the Arab Islamic culture . But ultimately it is similar to what it was it in the beginning . Just as it was contributing to the Arab in the beginning is the center of gravity in the civilization and culture of the contribution of the Arab nation ultimately must prevail over other posts because the Arabs as the caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab « are the substance of Islam » They bodyguards and guards civilization and culture and for this reason the Arabs had their own language Arabic are the goal of the enemies of Islam for centuries .
To this core value of the Arab-Islamic culture written in Arabic, which is on the whole culture of the Arab world , I will focus talk on the culture of this selection.
And as an introduction to this talk must be noted that this culture , whether at the level of the Muslim world or the Arab world nascent global civilization has for more than a thousand , four hundred and twenty-four -year-old is the civilization live only stood in front of Western civilization that in the form of the Greek ancient Roman or in form European American talk. Van almost all the world's civilizations civilizations has subsided Jdhutha since centuries and no longer pose in front of Western civilization from the big challenge was left in the front yard , but the Arab-Islamic civilization that has eluded all attempts to fragmentation and disassembly and effective penetration , as happened to most of the other civilizations . He sought the West through colonization Arab and Islamic world and what brought about in the lives of Arabs and Muslims of curricula , social, cultural , economic and political events of fundamental changes in the lives of Muslims purpose keep them away from Islam and connect them to form the Western in thought and behavior , but this relentless pursuit was limited term , as did not exceed some layers intellectuals who imbibed approaches the West especially the secular ones , but even those most of them remained Siqa Islamic culture in one way or another. True they admitted their laws replaced Sharia laws in most countries and has become a modern state are managed in most Muslim countries on the basis of the West. But the essence of Islam remained in all these cases steadfast waiting for the moment of the Baath again. In all this a sign that the future challenges facing the Arab-Islamic culture is in many respects an extension of the inherent challenges of the past in the face of the West at the external level and the underlying stagnation and underdevelopment at the domestic level . As it did not stand against the West of civilization and the Arab-Islamic culture at the present challenge , but spread to the ancient history فزعم colonists that the glory of the Islamic peoples to Ekman in Islam nor in his or her own , which blocked the glories of these peoples represented in Pharaonic Egypt and Alvenigah in Lebanon and الطورانية in Turkey and the Carthaginian in Tunisia and Berber Alamaziqih in North Africa and the Sasanian Iran and Turkmenistan in Central Asia and Alzenogh in Africa and Arabism sharpener of Islam in Arabia . But failed in the recruitment of nationalism for the demolition of the entity 's Islamic Muslim life except some success formal limited in the case of Turkey, which under its secular guarded by force of arms since it began and even today, as demonstrated on the orientations of the Turkish Muslim these days. Due root cause of this failure to the fundamental difference between the civilization of Islam and Arab civilization unilateral current outlook that sees no other alternative . While the advantage of Civilization Islam flexibility and the ability to coexist with other civilizations and cultures wherever entered in place to اتسعى to destabilize the entity of national purpose replace him but is Tnserb in gradation and facilitated change and change and supersede all the shocking founded in the oneness of God from the trap and animist and Mahdd human life habits and rituals and offerings and remain on all that is wholesome and positive legacy of the nation and its history and its intervention in the framework of Islamic , because usually in the Islamic law court and custom Hamid out of the assets of the legislation and thus gaining people's sense within the framework of Islam that all the positives of his past becomes the age of the Egyptian Muslim , for example Omar nation that extends for thousands of years because all What's the accumulation of the values ​​of the past and the pros may take it Islam and attached to his barn and gave it new life and increased its part of local history into the framework of global Islam and vital values ​​Victsp Egyptian past that extends for thousands of years and acquired his present connected بوشائج brotherhood with the rest of Almsji around the world, it becomes the Egyptian Muslim Mbarth Indian brother a Muslim Hendeth , and thus achieve diversity within the framework of Islam autism. He is a multiple saves for each Muslim people privacy as part of his conversion to Islam . From this perspective, we can talk about Islam, Egyptian and Indian Islam, and so on. But they all meet in the foundations of Islam and the global values ​​that rise all these localities and nationalities to the global framework and brotherhood in God. The right to go further than that and say that nationalism has stripped in each of these cases the tag of racism and parochial to become a national Islamic because Islam ultimately entity and affiliation and an expression of life .. Therefore Islam remains on languages ​​and Ivred Arabic language of the Koran , but in reading Fatiha Wi- verse or Sura to perform the prayers , but he set up languages ​​new Islamic such as Swahili in Africa and Urdu in Asia and Maltese and Elmejraitih in Europe and the granting of languages ​​of Muslims in the world and is more than a cent Arabic script for writing and -running thousands of terminology Arab and Islamic adding انمائها and prosperity.
Continues Kid colonists on the language of the Quran strive since the late nineteenth century in the quest to bring dialects replace classical claiming that the Arabic language old rigid Ataatsa movement science and Atostagib For reasons of life era and began the issuance of books available in vernacular in the Levant and Egypt, followed in some Arab writers in Lebanon and other . The death was the share of this movement. It was the most serious efforts in this area to bring the Latin alphabet replaced Arabic script in languages ​​written in Arabic letters were them success in all cases except Urdu , Persian, Arabic and even these have intensified the call for writing the letter Latin in the mid last century and did so some members of the complex linguistic Cairo and headed by Abdul Aziz Fahmi Pasha and ended the movement to failure but that a new spirit has walked among many Muslims They proclaimed the restoration of writing their own languages ​​Arabic script and has therefore a joint venture between systems Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization of Islamic Science and culture and the Islamic Bank in Jeddah and some scientific institutions in Morocco, Sudan and embarked on a re- write the number of languages ​​in Africa , Asia , Arabic script and completed so far approximately written ten African languages ​​and strive continuously in this direction this effort is important because most of the heritage of these tribes written in Arabic letters and the Koran is written in Arabic letters . It was a very colonial and still blocking this Islamic heritage for new generations Fanasrvon him to Western civilization .
But the battle with the Western civilization is still undecided , despite breakthroughs large that befell civilization Arab-Islamic by some of her children who have imbibed the ideas of the West and جهلوا the foundations of civilization has increased ferocity of these after the demise of direct colonialism from most of the Islamic countries and the growing nationalist sentiment in Muslim nations to restore the effectiveness of personal nationalism based on the values ​​of Islam and claim the transition from political emancipation to the stage of civilizational and cultural liberation based on Islamic grounds . battle broke out between the two teams that are still raging in both the Arab and Islamic arenas . And get out of all this that the Islamic Arab culture facing at the domestic level double crisis : a crisis in its relationship with its past and necessary in relation to بحاضرها of the future . The standoff in relation to its past Vkadima and stretched for long centuries since collapsed Islamic state under the drivers Tatars and the attacks of the Crusaders and collapsed with economic fundamentals , which was supply the movement of scientific and intellectual activity General Fanfsalt Science religion from science world stopped the movement of diligence in the science of religion halt scientific movement active , which was broadcast the spirit of diligence in the religious sphere and at the end of the eighteenth century did not stay in the lives of Arabs and Muslims from their rich culture multi- dimensional , but forensic science and linguistics a minimum of Islam in the lives of Muslims and went all the science that sends vital limbs of society, such as the natural sciences , philosophy and forth , which flourished during the the ninth and tenth centuries, and had a direct impact on the science of religion because most of the workers were themselves scholars of al - Shara . When I started hordes colonists invade the Arab and Islamic world in the eighteenth century, starting with the campaign Napoleon began Arabs and Muslims wake up and يتنبهون when faced by Europe of military power and creativity of scientific and was their response to this confrontation varying also between Toynbee in his book « civilization under test » between التمترس in the past or try pairing between past and present , or a newcomer solubility .. Despite the attention of the Ottoman Empire and Muhammad Ali in Egypt, the military aspects in their missions to Europe. The cultural implications of these missions were important and perhaps one of the reasons for Arab renaissance in the nineteenth century. The most important characteristics of this renaissance irreversibility directed by the challenge west to past Arab heritage and the purpose of his study by scientific methods and modern quest to revive it and renovated and linked to the spirit of the times also emerged that clear in the work of the pioneers of the Renaissance in the Levant and Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia and other homelands Arabism. That was didn Arab - Islamic culture , an old has irrevocably by Islam to Arabs and past history. There have been irrevocably seconds when he moved Islam to the regions faced civilizations Nations took them what Aissadm principles and flourished so civilization This was taking back the third capable of causing renaissance based on self taking advantage of the positive aspects of Western civilization and began to walk already in this direction for the fact that this development may be aborted in its infancy by the occupation of the Western countries to the Centers for radiation in Egypt and the Levant , Iraq, and turned the freedom of choice that they take and refuses to standard self to a policy of imposition and cram followed by the colonists Fajttoa education system new Aator Arab heritage and is based upon , but Etjavah and يهمله and take of Sciences West and languages ​​and methodologies way to the development of the Arab world became English in Egypt, the language of instruction even after it was bootleg taught in English until the 1883 occupation of Egypt . And shut the English factories Muhammad Ali and Egypt was prior to Japan in the field of manufacturing more than twenty years and must be alert in this area that most of the top graduates of this modern education in most Arab countries have been involved in this education they Mcherbon spirit of their heritage which درسوه at the beginning of their lives in traditional religious institutions therefore احدثوا the a great development in the field of language and literary and historical studies , which are still reap ثمراته of today. But lesson Bakhawatim . This الخواتيم indicate that the majority of students in the Arab and Muslim world public who are engaged in these schools , colleges and universities Modern has moved away Bakdar degrees about their heritage Arab-Muslim is no longer able to understand and Ajalh Alnzrfait the purpose of developing and linking the spirit of the times and left this task to prepare a few of the students in the religious institutions and institutes imposed by the bilateral education and most of these are far from modern science curricula and gains which opens ports for diligence and enrich the religious studies and reached by the spirit of the times .
Behold, here lies the secret of the real crisis experienced by the Arab-Islamic culture in relation to its past has remained up to McCann it for centuries and remained متون Jurisprudence and Legislation and Islamic studies generally confined to a minimum , which appoints people to worship and to stick باسلامهم on a personal level worshipful and rarely Maimitd it to the movement of society intellectual and scientific mostly revolve away from the minimum of the culture of Islam .
It البدهي that this heritage has stopped Islamic jurisprudence where centuries ago and became the apartment between him and lectured Muslims far and wide , which is a real crisis in their public and private lives . We must remove this acrimony and reached past people Bhadharhm to the people regain their personality cultural integration instead of this duality that worship of Islam in their own lives and in public life tracking west approaches and ideas . Will not be the only Bergah conscious to what it was like day Arab renaissance when faced reformers Western civilization advantages of Arab civilization and sought to build a renaissance on the basis of an Arab Muslim in cross-pollination and absorb what not inconsistent with the values ​​of Western civilization and that Iktadhana comprehensive review of the curricula of educational , cultural and social so make of the Arab-Islamic culture in the various manifestations of religious and secular platform to teach its re- integration of our culture and the integration of our personalities . The strange thing is that the West, which separated religion from our education to Yders Arab-Islamic culture in its universities , but integrated demanded Arab Studies studying the Koran and Hadith and wrote Arabic geographical as well as books of philosophy and Islamic rhetoric and jurisprudence as well as Science Arab links the language بحضارتها and is fluent in understanding , but it broke this integration while developing curricula Arabs and Muslims resulting in Maanaanyh of now duplicated and rupture in the integration of culture and civilization.
This is what the crisis with the past. With regard to the crisis with present and future Vnstardh the next episode .
