The Modern/Post-Modern Knowledge Crises
PENTAGRAM (often used Satanic symbol) Al;Dajjhl uses it to mark his dominion
The crisis is one of people not knowledge
Knowledge is not subject to crisis
because it is abstracted from created
reality and serves only as a means of
descriptive communications that help
man to order and direct power for
social-environmental-spiritual benefit
or harm;
Hence, it is the Misuse - Abuse non-use - neglect Absence - Ignorance
of knowledge that creates any crisis
related to knowledge.
Misuse is Active Disobedience (Abuse) DEVIATION FROM MAN’S RESPONSIBILITY
as vice-gerent in the dunya -- which is to enforce what is good and prevent what is evil
ensure benefit & prevent harm)
FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE : Magick / Sorcery scientific use of -- e.g., blowing on the knots is a scientific method involving beings and forces in nature (including samawat) producing harmful effects.
Non-use: Passive Disobedience (Neglect) Why? Knowledge is Present BUT FAILURE TO ACT responsibly leads to
Ignorance, which is a form of disobedience. Why?
because of man’s FAILURE TO ACT responsibly: i.e., to Teach and/or Read (prophetic-Adamic Path)
(education: the gaining of knowledge)
Elementary Example of abuse and neglect : this is a star the sun is a star
semiotics
Believers (all Monotheists: eg. Native Americans)
Muslim Non-Muslim
EducatedTraditional
Sectarian Non-Sectarian* Secular, non-secular
Non-Traditional Sectarian Modern Materialist Secular, non-secular
Non-Educated (Ignorant)
* non-sectarian Muslim identifies only with the term ‘Muslim”
Christian Jew Pagan Heathen Atheist
Each category has similar types of knowledge:
(e.g., fitrah/instinctive)And types that differ
e.g., cultural, religious, social, scientific, rural
vs. urban, geographic, etc.
Non-Believers in Allah
SUB-CATEGORIES: ALL MAY BE SUBDIVIDED INTO Active or Passive Obedient (minority) & Disobedient sub-groups (majority)
One may therefore be an obedient but misguided member of any category depending on knowledge
What Is A Knowledge Crisis ? Al’Nur
What Causes A Knowledge Crisis ?
Man’s inability to utilize or obtain trustful knowledge: Too much (man is overwhelmed =
confusion) Too little (man is ignorant) Poor Education (man is ignorant) Lack of Access (man is ignorant)
Poverty / Insufficient time Purposely Misdirected or
limited Education (man is ignorant)
BIAS = wrong knowledge Belief in lies (man is ignorant)
Lack of effective or truthful communication: All is EDUCATION Cultural, Political, Religious,
Racial apartheid / illiteracy / poor skills / (man is ignorant)
LACK OF JUST LEADERSHIP Disobedience Poor Teaching Apathy Injustice Conspiracy e.g. Fabian / Ishmai’ili / Catholic
Dark Age of Europe
Sectarianism (Asabiyah) Poverty, Bias, Neglect,
OppressionIGNORANCE PREVAILS
Administration of justice is the only genuine uniting factor for such diversity AMANAPROPHET’S POINT OF DEPARTURE
Examples in the Energy Industry Crisis Causes
NUCLEAR ENERGY Waste disposal Cancer Environmental
Destruction (e.g. Fukushima)
OIL INDUSTRY GULF OF MEXICO (BP)
POLLUTION SEA LIFE DYING COASTAL POPULATION
POISONED
MISPLACED TRUST
Wrong information (Pride) Failure to Disclose (Lies & Pride) Apathy (laziness, lack of diligence) Greed (Selfishness = sunnah of Khabil) Government Collusion
(wickedness in high places) Non-Accountability
No Hisbah (Negligence) No Shura
All is the result of Disobediencewhich causes HARM.
Harm is the result of any Crisis in Knowledge
Ignorance lack of discernment
Mohammad: The Trusted One (Amana)
Lobotomy / Pandemic Mental Health Disease
Iatrogenic Disease Overmedication Ignorant, lazy or incompetent doctors Lazy Patients: just want a ‘pill’ mentality
ADHD / Autism / HIV Immunizations (example of taqlid)
Auto-Immune Disease Immunizations
NWO FASCISMUmmah blindly following Ignorance & Poor or Corrupt leadership (including teachers)
taqlid = a form of apathy
Misplaced Trust: Authoritarianism Greed: Doctors & Pharm. etc.
Industry / Eugenics Failure to Disclose (lies & liars) Bad Science Apathy Taqlid (Blind Following)
A type of ignorance Misplaced Trust
Eugenics = example of wrong idea (ideal) Humanism Social Darwinism Social Engineering
DISOBEDIENCE TO DIVINE LAW
Examples in the Medical Industry Crisis Causes (No
Synthesis of Knowledge)
The Crisis of Misplaced Trust (Amana)
The West has shown a frightening capacity for irrational behavior and fascination for violence and irrational ideologies. In short, the West, despite its extraordinary achievements in science and technology, intellectual capacity and civilization, is fragile and perishable because its moral and ethical values are designed from reason and logic without the involvement of The Greatest Spiritual Source of truth, God [Divine Revelation].
Hence: The West Cannot be trusted as vice-gerent
Trust is the most basic component of beneficial human relationship.
The most important moral principles that helped Muslims develop and enhance Islamic Science were trust (al-Amanah), justice (al-adl), righteousness (al-birr) and enjoining virtues and forbidding evil
(al-‘amr bil ma’ruf wa al-nahy ‘an al—munkar).

Greatest Knowledge Crisis
Greatest Problems ?
• Imbalance • too much religion• too much materialism
• no Shura• No one qualified for
synthesis ?
Knowledge comes through two sources. the first source is known as ‘ilm al-
Zāhir, and is based on empirical knowledge and rational enquiry. includes scientific knowledge, is finite and limited.
the second source is known as ‘ilm al-Bātin internal intuitive
spiritual knowledge that also may be known as religious experience. It is spiritually communicated to an individual
and originates in a dimension of reality which transcends material reality. (samawat)
usually comes in the form of intuitive thought, but it can also be
communicated through true dreams or visions as a gift from Allah Most High. Such knowledge is infinite, inexhaustible, and timeless.
The Greatest Knowledge Crisis is the Lack of Synthesis

“Oh you who believe (in this Qur’ān) do not take (such) Jews and the Christians as (your) friends or allies who themselves become friends and allies of each other.” (- Qur’ān, al-Māidah, 5:51
Mohammad's letter to Khosrau I I , the Persian Shah : He has sent me for the guidance of all people so that I may warn them all of His wrath and may present the unbelievers with an ultimatum. Embrace Islam so that you may remain safe. And if you refuse to accept Islam You will be responsible for the sins of the Magi.
