Saudi Academic: Islamic World Does Not Contribute Anything Because We Cling Tightly to Our Heritage
Saudi academic Dr. Marzouq Bin Tinbak said in a May 20, 2022 show on Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that the Islamic world does not contribute anything to civilization and progress today because it has recoiled from and rejected modernity and because it clings too closely to its heritage.
He said that in contrast, some countries have managed to simultaneously conform to the novelty of Western civilization while preserving their heritage.
In addition, Dr. Bin Tinbak said that traditional Islamic thought was appropriate for past eras, but that today’s modern world requires new fatwas and new ijtihad (critical and rigorous religious reasoning).
