احتراف الفساد
May 18, 2012 by
كتبت في الثاني والعشرين من شهر يونيو عام 2010 مقالاً بعنوان (الفساد.. سرطان المجتمعات) فصلت فيه أوجه الشبه بين السرطان الذي يصيب الإنسان في جسده والفساد الذي يصيب المجتمعات. وأوضحت آنذاك أنه كما أن للسرطان مصدرا رئيسا منه ما ينتشر إلى أطراف الجسد ويتخلل إلى أعضائه الحيوية، فكذلك الفساد له بؤرة ومصدر رئيسي منه ينتشر […]

الشمولية في الإسلام..رهبان بالليل فرسان بالنهار
January 3, 2012 by
لم تفقد الأمة عزتها ومكانتها بين الأمم إلا عندما جعلت الإسلام قاصرا على المسجد وأغلقت عليه الأبواب .. وتم بذلك الفصل بين الدين والحياة .. فالإسلام دين أودعه الله كل الأصول اللازمة لتنظيم حياة الفرد والأسرة والمجتمع والأمة، يقول تعالى في محكم كتابه «ونزلنا عليك الكتاب تبيانا لكل شيء» ويقول الرسول الكريم «والله ما تركت […]
