Reformislam: Jetzt werden Muslime gegen den Islam eingesetzt!

The Muslim Youth of Austria (MJÖ) announced a campaign called "Together Against Political Islam" at a press conference. The campaign aims to establish a "liberal Islam" that does not contradict "Austrian values" and encourages Muslims to embrace an "Austrian-Muslim identity." In this context, politicians and the MJÖ are also demanding a "contemporary reading of the Quran" from us Muslims. I am taking this new political initiative as an opportunity to fundamentally explain and refute the reformist idea of ​​a "contemporary reading of the Quran." ...`` In a press conference, the Muslim Youth of Austria (MJÖ) announced a campaign called “Together Against Political Islam” at a press conference. To refute this, it is necessary to examine the reformist approach of Fazlur Rahman (1919–1988) in more detail: Fazlur Rahman fundamentally rejected the "legal interpretation (fiqh)" of Islamic scholars (`ulama) and sought to replace it with a new understanding of Islam that focuses solely on the alleged "general ethics" of the Quran, without deriving specific actions from the revealed texts. To achieve this, Fazlur Rahman employed his theory of the Quran's supposed "historicity" and "contextuality." Through this theory, Fazlur Rahman became a leading figure in reformist Islam, and we find his ideas reflected, for example, in the demands for a "contemporary reading" by the MJÖ (Muslim Youth of Austria). `` To refute the reformers' demand for a "contemporary interpretation," I address two key points in this video: The meaning of ijtihad and why the reformers' "interpretations" do not constitute a valid derivation under Islamic law The difference between "culture" and "civilizational knowledge" vs. "historicity/contextuality" The assimilation policies in both Germany and Austria make it essential for us as an Islamic community to understand the invalidity of reformist ideas in order to refute them in public discourse. With this video, I hope to contribute to this effort and ask for your support by sharing and distributing it.
