Although we find a wide range of historical reports in books on theology, philosophy, and sociology on the experience that the Western Christian world has gained from the phenomenon of modernity, our experience of what is called modernity has been decidedly different. The Western world has largely been oblivious to issues of Muslim societies even though our problems have never really found a fair platform within their media. However, if an atmosphere of a fair exchange of mutual experiences had been possible, a big stride would also have been possible towards the attainment of mutual empathy, understanding, and acceptance. The Western Christian world witnessed and experienced the emergence and growth of the seeds of modernity right in its own home ground, whereas we first encountered this phenomenon when it had already borne fruit in the West and consequently picked and chose from its harvest.
Dini haifuti yale yaliyorithiwa kutoka kwa Mitume ya Mwenyeezi Mungu na Ahlulbayt (a.s), na wala haipingi suna, fikra, na maadili yanayoendana na nafsi za wanaadamu, kwa sababu akili na fikra salama ya mwanaadamu inafanya mambo kupitia miongozo ya dini na miongozo ya Mitume ya Mwenyeezi Mungu na Ahlulbayt (a.s), baadhi ya wakati dini inachukua yale mambo yanayoleta faida katika maisha ya wanaadamu, mambo ambayo yanaleta maslahi na yanaweza kupatikana ndani ya tamaduni njema, kwa upande mwengine dini inapinga na kuondoa mambo ambayo yanaleta madhara kwa wanaadamu, na baadhi ya wakati huthibitisha mambo ambayo yamo katika tamaduni za watu lakini ni yenye kukubalika kiakili, kinafsi, na kimoyo.
