Religion and Culture in Dynamics of Time

Abstract
Unlike the creed sent by Allah through the Prophet Muhammad, the creator of culture is a human being’s creative activity guided by Knowledge. Faith and Knowledge diff er in their relations to Time and the changes involved. The alienation between culture and religion, and especially their rigid opposition, are damaging for the society. The article refers to examples of the fruitful interaction between Faith and Knowledge, thanks to the Muslim’s «keen sense of the reality of Time, and the concept of Life as a continuous movement in Time» that they had borrowed from the Prophet, who thought “in terms of life and movement with a view to create new patterns of behaviour for mankind” (M. Iqbal), as well as the creative use of ijtihad.
