Towards building a monotheistic humanism in the context of the world of modern philosophy

Rajab Al-Sayyed Ezzuddin

Abstract

Modern philosophy suffers from the infiltration of atheistic trends into its contemplative fields (inductive and inferential). This has led to a state of hijacking of contemporary philosophical lectures, and restricting them into arguments opposed to reason itself, under claims of reason and superstition at some times, humanity and humans at some times, and science and causation at other times. And this had led to the spread of a philosophical impression hostile to all religions, especially Islam. All that is done through artificial dichotomies used by logicians in defining some terms that do not meet together nor do they refute each other (God and man), (religion and humanity), (religion and science) (religion and reason). This article tries to reveal the features of Islam's humanitarianism, based on a contemplative reading of the Islamic doctrine of monotheism, and the comprehensive liberation it entails for man to be free from the constraints of the material world, in comparison with the atheistic and secular philosophies that imprison man in the transient material world and throw him into the trap of nihilism under the cover of relativity.
