Because You Can’t Have an Intellectual Revolution Without The Intellect . . .

“For everything there is an instrument and a tool, and the instrument of the believer is his intellect: for everything there is a mainstay, and the mainstay of man is his intellect; for everything there is a support, and the support of religion is the intellect; for every group of me there is a goal, and the goal of the worshippers is the intellect; for every people there is a missionary (who calls them to true faith), and the missionary of the devout is the intellect; for every merchant there are goods and merchandise, and the merchandise of the scholars is the intellect; for every house there is a keeper, and the keeper of the houses of the saints is the intellect; for every ruin there is rehabilitation, and the rehabilitation of death is the intellect; for every man there is a offspring who bears his name and perpetuates his memory, and the offsprings of the saints, who bear their names, and perpetuate their memory , are their intellects; and finally for every journey there is a shelter, and the shelter of the believers is the intellect“.
-Muhammad (saw)-

From “The Book of Knowledge” by Imam Ghazzali (r)

    I’m working on it.

    I have some older outlines/drafts of the topics, but I haven’t been able to systematically sit down and hammer it out.

    If you go to my website: http://www.geocities.com/fbzaman007

    Then click “writings” and then scroll down to “islamic papers”, you can see some of the other stuff.
