Every verse in the Quran should be made a pearl of wisdom for the Muslims which will easily make them successful in this life and the next. However, the Islamic countries rarely implement what is written in the Quran. Instead what they implement are the views of the priests, the religious scholars, the religious thinkers, the religious leaders and so on which are all fallible and which have failed over the past thousand years. These views are found written in the various books of theology which are also the cause of senseless argument, debate, hatred and violence for over a thousand years among the Muslims. But they just cannot let go of these old views. While ignoring the Quran they uphold the theology of the scholars as though it were written in stone. This is the main reason for the failure of the Islamic countries. If they still cannot see this obviously glaring truth, then no one can help the Muslims. They are doomed.
I translate and quote herewith part of an article written by my good friend the emeritus Professor Syed Hussein Alatas in the Mingguan Malaysia of 18 February 2006. The article was titled “Falsafah perundangan Islam” which translates to ‘The Philosophy of Islamic Law’ by PROF. DR. SYED HUSSEIN ALATAS.
