Paradise Borrowed and Paradise Regained

Constants and pillars for the choice of another civilization

Author's name: Ahmed Khairy Al-Omari

Constants and Pillars for the Choice of Another Civilization~~~The book consists of three main axes..* The first axis is entitled "Another Face of the Conflict", and in its two chapters it presents the idea that the current conflict is not necessarily a military conflict, but rather a civilizational, cultural, and value-based one at its core.. In the first chapter of this axis, "A New Religion", it discusses the idea that America has become a new religion invading the world with its ideas, beliefs, and lifestyle, rather than just a great imperial state like the previous states that dominated the world in the past. The core and solid foundation of this new religion is based on the idea of ​​the American Dream: luxury, comfort, and living in a paradise of earthly goods. In the second chapter, "The Scenario of Loss and the Plan of Restoration," the book links the American Dream that swept the world with humanity's attempts to return to paradise since its exodus, through the creation of an earthly paradise. This journey began with Adam as an exodus, with Abraham in search, and ended with our Master Muhammad (peace be upon him), who turned his face between different destinations. The second section of the book, "The Constants of the Pillars," discusses the five constants of the American paradise: materialism, individualism, the free economy, consumption, and living in the present (now and here). It attempts to compare and differentiate them from our constants and pillars: Can these constants become Islamicized and declare their Islam simply by placing Islamic slogans on them? Or are the differences and distinctions between them much deeper than that? The third axis ends with a vision of the necessity of an alternative to the prevailing traditional ideas whose effectiveness and validity have expired, without this ever meaning that the alternative is a borrowed copy of an American paradise, even if this paradise is a real reality for them.
