The absurdity of human mind

A brief about the book Dr. Ali Al-Wardi wrote this book as separate chapters at different times, after the publication of his book "Preachers of the Sultans." These chapters are not on one subject, and I have linked them because they were written under the influence of the controversy surrounding the aforementioned book. They may please some people and anger others. Dr. Al-Wardi starts in his articles from a principle that states that the new concepts believed in by modern logic are the concepts of movement and development. Everything in this universe evolves from one state to another, and there is no stopping its development. He says that it has become necessary for preachers to study the laws of this development before bombarding people with their loud sermons. Therefore, he does not see this book as glorifying Western civilization or calling for it. Rather, he means to say: that what is inevitable must happen. The modern concepts brought by Western civilization are coming without doubt. He says that the time has come to understand the truth before it is too late, as the Islamic world is going through a harsh transitional phase, suffering pains similar to labor pains. About half a century ago, the world was living in the Middle Ages, then the new civilization suddenly came and began sweeping away most of the familiar. Therefore, every Muslim household has a conflict and debate between the old generation and the new generation. The older looks at life through the lens of the tenth century, while the younger wants to see it through the lens of the twentieth century. He adds that he had been waiting for thinkers, religious figures, and others to help their people through this labor crisis, but instead they tried to stand in the way of reform. Based on this, it can be said that the book is an attempt to establish a new perspective in an Islamic society that, as the researcher sees, lives with a mentality of the past, in an era of development that requires vision and religious concepts.
