| Summary: | To a student audience seduced by the claims of a secular Christianity', Professor Gordon Rupp once urged the combined loyalties of worldmanship' and other-worldmanship'. The Muslim world shows little friendship to secularist ideologies which explicitly reject the eschatological dimension, but Muslims are increasingly involved in secularising processes; many of these are Islamised', if they are compatible with Islamic social or political ideals, and the stigma of bidah, innovation, is thereby avoided. A Lebanese author, Muhammad Darwazah, in his Dustūr al-Qur' ānī, Cairo 1956, advocated a Qur'ānic Constitution' for the modern world since the Qur'ān's world-view is both in-worldly and other-worldly:Islam is a religion of the world (dīn al-dunyā), of government, society, morals and order, to the same extent as it is a religion of faith and belief and the next world (dīn al-ākhirah).' |
