The book states that despite the exciting political and economic experience Dr. Mahathir Mohamad undertook over the course of 22 years as Prime Minister of Malaysia, before returning to power again, he underwent a difficult struggle to transform his country from a marginalized, poor, agricultural nation into an advanced, regionally active, industrial nation, politically and economically free from Western hegemony. Mahathir Mohamad’s personal memoirs, which explore his significant political and economic experiences and his intellectual and social observations, were not published until much later. He needed several years of writing and documentation to capture the most important details of this experience, and these memoirs were not published until mid-2011.
This book does not tell Mahathir Mohamad’s personal story, but rather the story of Malaysia, a country that emerged exhausted from British colonialism and was keen to remain underdeveloped and subsistent, living off the sale of rubber and tin to the colonizers. However, through a long political and economic struggle and the presence of a unique leader, he was able to transform himself from a marginalized agricultural country into one of the most prominent economic and industrial nations. He raised the average per capita income from $350 to $8,000, and made Malays, who accounted for only 2 percent of the domestic economy, true partners in their country’s economy.

Ibn Khaldun’s Thought, Asabiyyah and the State
د.ا9.94The author of the book states that after spending ten years in the company of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, he concluded that: There are still many angles that need more research despite the many studies and writings about Ibn Khaldun and his most famous book, the Muqaddimah. He also concluded that corrections must be made to return Khaldunian thought to its original framework and preserve its entirety and true identity. And its readings according to the circumstances of his social experience, his personal concerns, and his modern context.
He also pointed out through his research the methodological error that many of Ibn Khaldun’s admirers have fallen into, and we mean by that looking with the eye of the present, and starting from contemporary thought, to the opinions and theories mentioned in the Muqaddimah in social, political, and economic affairs. As well as understanding his terms and expressions in a way that deviates from his purpose, and distances them from the scope of his interest and the molds of his thinking. In his view, most Khaldunian studies rarely look at Khaldunian thought as a whole, but rather they often look at his opinions in this field independently and separately from his opinions in other fields.

The Arab Moral Mind
د.ا19.88The philosopher Al-Jabiri believes that the Arab moral mind was influenced by five legacies:
1.The pure Arab heritage
2.The pure Islamic heritage
3.The Persian heritage
4.The Greek heritage
5.The Sufi heritageMuhammad Abed Al-Jabiri believes that the origin of ethics is religion, and that reason stands behind moral judgment, as it is the basis of ethics in Islam. The Arab moral mind was exposed to the influence of political employment and the development of the concept until it reached the stage of establishing or what the writer calls “the ethics of obedience”, which crystallized with the Umayyad state in a way that serves “the unity of society and the state, inspired by the Persian heritage in particular.” He also explained the reasons for the dominance of Khosrowian values and the Persian heritage, whether at the cultural level or at the level of the structure of the state and the entity of society, in contrast to ignoring the Greek heritage, as in the texts of the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, and the medical human tendency in ethics, one of the most important pioneers of which was Ibn Al-Haytham, and also the limited influence of the philosophical tendency represented by Ibn Rushd and Ibn Bajjah, despite their cognitive importance and their criticism of the ethics of obedience, and the fog of the Sufi tendency prevailed, which tried to escape from positive resistance to negative resistance. The writer elaborated on drawing the manifestations of the moral crisis at various levels in Islamic societies resulting from this influence, where the system of the sheikh and the disciple dominated, and its owners completed their moral path, as they moved from the annihilation of ethics to the ethics of annihilation and the dropping of legal obligations.

The Question of Ethics
د.ا5.68“…If they had returned to themselves, they would have found that they permit for themselves what they forbid for others. If it is permissible for them to criticize the religious through what is non-religious, why is it not permissible for others to criticize the non-religious through what is religious! And if it is permissible for them to criticize Islamic ethics through secular modernity, why is it not permissible for others to criticize secular modernity through Islamic ethics? It is necessary, then, to seek ethics that move away from the surface at which modernity has stopped and delve into the depths of life and the depths of man. There is nothing deeper than a life that extends from its immediate to its ultimate end, and nothing deeper than a man who connects his outer appearance with his inner self” (From the book The Question of Ethics)»
