> Napoleon, who in many articles we often find as a person who
admires the Koran, actually used Islamic sentiment as his
political tool to win the hearts of Muslims. In the edict that
he disseminated to the people of Egypt, he opened it with the
sentence of the creed that bore,
>
> "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
there is no god but Allah, He does not have children and He does
not have partners in His power" (bismillaah al-rahmaan
al-rahiim, laa ilaaha illaa Allaah, laa walida lahu wa laa
shariika lahu fii mulkihi).
>
> Napoleon then continued, that he and his troops came from the
French nation (millah al-Faransaawiyyah) whose country was
upheld on the principles of freedom (al-hurriyyah) and equality
(al-taswiyyah). Their goal in coming to Egypt was to liberate
this strategically located, great civilized country from "Mamluk
tyranny and greed" (al-zulm wa al-tama' min al-Mamalik).
>
> The commander who has a track record of extraordinary
victories then asked the respected figures in Egypt to tell the
Egyptians that in fact the French nation is also a Muslim nation
(quuluu li ummatikum inna al-Faransaawiyyah hum aydan muslimuuna
mukhlishuun), in which they has “destroyed the throne of the
Pope who has always incited Christians to fight against Islam”
(kharibuu Kursiyy al-Baabaa al-ladzii kaana daa'iman yahusshuu
al-Nashaaraa 'alaa muhaarabah al-Islaam).
>
> That is part of the contents of Napoleon Bonaparte's edict to
the people of Egypt. From some of the contents of the edict, we
can see the values of the French Revolution that Napoleon tried
to instill in the people of Egypt. It is Liberté, égalité,
fraternité which is defined as freedom, justice and brotherhood.
>
> Muhammad 'Ali was a person who systematically westernized the
lives of the Egyptian population. He was so amazed by the
advanced European civilization thanks to industrial excellence
and revolutionary thinking. He also forged close ties with
Egyptian intellectuals who used to study at Napoleon's Institut
d'Égypte.
>
> One of them was an al-Azhar scholar named Hasan al-'Attar
(1766-1835). In al-'Attar's view, the land of Egypt must change
its conditions and the knowledge in it must also change and be
replaced with something new. The change he meant was a total
change in European culture after the scholars and sheikhs – in
his view – failed to continue the strenuous efforts of Muslims
in the past.
>
> The story of the impact of Western thought on Muslims, of
course, does not end here. However, the gap between Napoleon's
first arrival in Egypt and the collapse of the Caliphate,
spanned more than 1 century.

Ottoman sultan before his downfall. In his diary, the sultan
said that many archaeologists from Germany, England and France
had asked the caliph for permission to enter Iraq, Syria and
various Islamic areas to conduct various archaeological
research.

course did not grant this permission. However, there were also
many archaeologists who managed to secretly infiltrate the
Caliphate. The famous ones are Wilfrid Scawen Blunt who travels
around Syria, Egypt and Najd and Lawrence of Arabia who has many
activities in Riyadh, Syam and Iraq.

> As intelligent beings, human awakening depends on thought.
Thoughts on what? About life, the universe, humans, and the
relationship between these three things and something that
existed before those three things existed.

> So, people have to think. Before there was life, the universe,
and before the existence of humans, what was there? Then after
life, the universe, and humans are over, where will they go?
What will happen?

> If humans can think about the essence of these 3 aspects, then
humans will rise.
>
> What people think about then is, not only worldly aspects. But
also preparing for something that will happen after he (human)
is gone. The language of Islam is the hereafter. Ukhrowi. The
essence of all of this, is about thinking. Thought is a keyword.

> This time from Prof. Syed Naqib al-Attas. He was originally
born in Bogor, then moved to Kuala Lumpur and founded ISTAC
(International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization),
an extraordinary campus. In his book entitled, "Islam in Malay
History and Culture", he stated,
>
> History has taught that the more beautiful and complicated the
art style, the more it indicates the decline of mind and reason;
The Greek Acropolis, Iran's Persepolis, and the Egyptian
Pyramids, do not shine a light on reason and reason.
>
> In assessing the role and impression of Islam, the
characteristics that must be looked for by them are not in
monuments and temples, (or) in sculptures and wayang -
characteristics that are easy for the physical eye to see.
However, in language and writing that actually shows intellect
and reason encapsulates thought.

That's the reason on my difficulties on working with Islamic
movements, they still have a bit western mindset which emphasize
intellectuality and empiricism rather following Mohammed mindset
which emphasize the "ghaib", or something which the answer can
be searched through thinking and seeing the patterns without
seeing directly with experience. Even Mohammed can made powerful
rational teachings without much writings and empirical theory.
That's only obstacles when I work with the Islamist alongside
the workers's union.
And that sentences which quoted can be resulting this meaning,
if the reason led to empathy and simplicity, then it will be
accepted to the Islamic thought. Islam consider empathic
feelings as an intellectual. But western thoughts see the
feelings and empathy is irrational, like what are said by
British liberal philosoper David Hume.
