Oh God,
Though I may be an offender,
I am a Muslim.
If I am a sinner,
I am regretful.
If you want to punish me,
I’ll obey your command.
If you have mercy,
I deserve it.
Whether the Beloved gives us agony or pleasure,
whatever comes from the Beloved is good.
We do not think of good or evil –
our intent is His pleasure and contentment
~Kwaja Abdullah Ansari

O bird of the morning, learn love from the moth
Because it burnt, lost its life, and found no voice.
These pretenders are ignorantly in search of Him,
Because he who obtained knowledge has not
returned.
O thou who art above all imaginations, conjectures,
opinions and ideas,
Above anything people have said or we have heard or
read,
The assembly is finished and life has reached its term
And we have, as at first, remained powerless in
describing thee.

These questions are topical and pointed. They are also, however, hegemonic, in that they proceed on the apparent assumption that Western norms (presumed to be uncontested among Westerners themselves) are both the proper point of reference and the most ideal manifestation of the values under consideration. As I have stated in previous posts, this has the effect of forcing Muslims out of an explanatory posture and into an apologetic one, where the aim shifts from simply speaking about Islam to attempting to assuage Western fears, prejudices and misunderstandings. In such a context, the very fact of a Muslim response can, if we are not careful, serve to dignify such fears and prejudices as legitimate, with the result that Westerners end up subjecting Islam and Muslim apologetics to meticulous critique, while leaving their own fears, prejudices and misunderstandings unchallenged.

The norm that must needs be followed in principles of belief is moderation and restraint upon the straight path, and anything that deviates from the proper intent of things is reprehensible. [Iqtisad]
