Abstract: (1510 Views) |
| Extreme dependence on ancestral culture, which is interpreted as ethnocentrism in sociology, is an enduring social reality and is not specific to the age of the prophets. This phenomenon has now appeared in the form of Islamic extremist groups such as: Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, Jabhat al-Nusra and the Group of Companions. Given that the prophets were at the forefront of the fight against this thinking, it will be necessary for the leaders and educators of today's Islamic societies to reevaluate their methods to control and correct this phenomenon from the text of the Holy Qur'an. Part of the conclusion the author has drawn is that the prophets, in contrast to this harmful social attitude, have used the following cultural methods: trying to change the attitude of ethnocentrists, developing rationality and thoughtfulness, and providing a comprehensive critical analysis of the majority of people’s mental states. |
