Islam played the dominant role in the shaping of world history from the time of its advent onwds at least for a thou- sand years. P98

Secularization encompasses not only the political and social aspects of life, but also inevitably the cultural, for it denotes "the disappearance of religious determination of the symbols of cultural integration.p15

Church when it wielded power was always vigilant in acting scientific enquiry and purely rational investigations of truth,which seen in the light of present circumstances brought about by such ‘scientific’enquiry and ‘rational’ investigation as it developed in Western history is however partly now seen to be justifiable.p20

Islam totally rejects any application to itself of the concepts secular, or seculariza-tion, or secularism as they do not belong and are alien to it in every respect.p23

Secularization as a whole is not only the expression of an utterly unislamic world view, but that it is also set against Islam and yet we have also pointed out that the integral components in the dimen-sions of secularization-that is, the disenchantment of nature, the desacralization of politics, and the deconsecration of values when seen in their proper perspectives, indeed become part of the integral components in the dimensions of Islam, for they reflect one of the fundamental elements in the Islamic vision of reality and existence, and characterize Islam in true and real manifestation in history bringing about the effect that revolutionizes the world view of man.
