Why is it important?

Perspectives
Our Islamic culture still faces numerous threats in this era of globalisation, the most dangerous being doctrinal and intellectual. The disconnection between belief and its practical implementation and the emergence of new forms of atheism are doctrinal threats that we must address by establishing a solid theological groundwork. Misconceptions about the relationship between religion and the world in which we live and the concept of freedom in Islam represent intellectual threats that require further elaboration of the stance of the Sharia on these issues.
