When at least the majority of the Muslims on the Earth can tell another person why he/she was created and knows the verse of the Quran that clearly explains it...I may start to take this post with more weight. I admire your effort, to defend your view...but I am honestly speechless and totally taken aback by what would happen if these views were truly held by most others and propagated. I feel like the word "traditional" has been forcefully and almost violently hijacked in this article and made to mean things far far away from the history and legacy of the scholars and laymen both, of this deen. This ignores the stewardship of humanity (and Muslims) on the Earth. I don't want to write a long response and don't know how productive it would be, so I just thought I'd express my shock and awe. SubhanAllah, this scares me. May Allah guide us to what is best for us. barakAllahu feek, AS Assalamu Alaikum

I don’t want to write a long response and don’t know how productive it would be, so I just thought I’d express my shock and awe.

Perhaps many of us forget that while Rasulullah - Allah bless & grant him peace - did enjoin knowledge as a sacred duty on every individual, he also taught us to pray to seek refuge in Allah from knowledge which has no benefit. (Allahumma inni au`dhu bika min ilm la-yanfa`...) The 'knowledge is power' paradigm is also western/capitalist, in its essence. I think for us, it's been 'knowledge is enlightenment', don't you think? Salaam,
