Kwa kuibuka kwa matatizo mengi yaliyotokana na kukosekana kwa mtazamo wa Kiislamu, baadhi ya wanachama wa Ummah wa Kiislamu walijaribu kubainisha mwelekeo wa kufufuka. Jaribio lolote la kuufufua Ummah wa Kiislamu haliwezi kufanikiwa bila kujenga upya mtazamo wa Kiislamu miongoni mwa Waislamu. Bila picha iliyo wazi ya mtazamo wa Kiislamu unajumuisha nini, kuwafufua Waislamu kungekuwa kumehukumiwa kushindwa na kungerudia makosa yale yale ya majaribio ya zamani yaliyoshindwa. Kwa hiyo, kuelewa kikamilifu sifa hizi za pekee ni muhimu kwa mchakato wa kufufuka, ili kufufuka huko kubaki mbali na hisia, athari na mambo yaliyosababisha kudorora. Baada ya kushughulikia mambo na sababu zilizopelekea kuharibika kwa mtazamo wa Kiislamu, ni lazima kutaja baadhi ya sifa bainifu za mtazamo wa Kiislamu. Sifa hizi zinaweza kupatikana kwa kuchunguza wahyi, unaobainisha chanzo cha utamaduni wa Kiislamu, na kwa kujifunza jinsi Masahaba walivyoshughulikia masuala yaliyowakabili. Zifuatazo ni baadhi ya sifa hizo:

With the emergence of the many problems that resulted from the absence of the Islamic way of thinking, some members of the Muslim Ummah attempted to define the course of revival. Any attempt to revive the Muslim Ummah cannot succeed without reconstructing the Islamic way of thinking among the Muslims. Without a clear picture of what the Islamic way of thinking consists of, reviving the Muslims would be doomed to failure and would repeat the same mistakes of past attempts which failed. Thus, fully comprehending these unique characteristics is vital to the revival process in order to keep the revival detached from the emotions, reactions, and factors that precipitated the decline. After addressing the factors and causes that resulted in corrupting the Islamic way of thinking, it is necessary to mention some distinguishing characteristics of the Islamic way of thinking. These characteristics can be deduced by examining the wahi, which defines the source of the Islamic culture, and by studying how the Sahabah dealt with the issues that faced them. Following are some of these characteristics:

Lengo la mtazamo wa Kiislamu ni kufikia ukweli, jambo linalohitaji kuamini kuwepo kwa ukweli na uongo, na kuamini kwamba sahihi na makosa ni mambo ya msingi yasiyo ya kiasi, bali ni ukweli kamili.

The objective of the Islamic way of thinking is to reach the truth, which necessitates believing in the existence of truth and falsehood and in the correct and incorrect as absolute, and not relative, facts.

Sifa inayotofautisha zaidi maisha haya ni kwamba yamejengwa juu ya ukweli na si udanganyifu. Kila utafiti au fikra yenye lengo na uzito lazima ikubali ukweli usiopingika kwamba hakika zipo, zisizobadilika; vinginevyo, utafiti huo ungeporomoka na kuwa hadithi za kubuni na dhana za kubahatisha ambazo haziwezi kujenga mawazo yenye msingi imara. Kwa kuzingatia hili, utafiti, somo au fikra yoyote haiwezi kuwa tupu ya lengo au kufanywa kwa burudani; utafiti kama huo utakuwa bure na hautazaa mawazo yenye tija, isipokuwa fikra za juu juu na falsafa zisizo na msingi wa kimaumbile.

The most distinguishing feature of this life is that it consists of facts and not illusions. Any objective and serious study or thought must acknowledge the undeniable fact that absolute realities exist; otherwise, such a study would degenerate into fanciful storytelling and speculation that cannot construct any sustainable concepts. With this in mind, any research, study, or thinking cannot be devoid of purpose or for entertainment; any such study or research would be in vain and would bear no productive concepts aside from superficial thoughts and abstract philosophies.

Lengo pekee la utafiti au masomo yoyote lazima liwe kufikia ukweli, na mara ukweli unapofikiwa na kuthibitishwa bila shaka, Waislamu lazima wautii na kuupokea kama sehemu ya fikra zao.

Reaching the truth must be the sole motive behind any study or research, and once the truth is reached and is proven conclusively, Muslims must abide by it and adopt it as part of their thinking.

Haipaswi kutolewa umakini wowote kwa maoni na mila za watu wengi, wala kwa gharama yoyote au faida yoyote inayoweza kuhusishwa na kushikamana na ukweli. Ukweli lazima ukubaliwe kwa kutegemea thamani yake pekee. Yeyote anayetambua ukweli kisha akashindwa kuufuata amejiweka kwa hiari yake katika kundi la wanafiki, amejidanganya na kujipotosha mwenyewe, na hilo linatosha kumhesabu mtu wa namna hiyo kuwa ni mjinga.

No attention should be given to the opinions and traditions of the masses, or to any cost or benefit that may be associated with adhering to the truth. The truth must be accepted only based on its merits. Anyone who realizes the truth and failed to abide by it has willingly labeled himself a hypocrite and has cheated and deceived himself, which suffices to classify such a person as ignorant.

Binadamu hukabiliana na changamoto nyingi katika maisha yao ya kila siku, zikiwemo za kisiasa na kiuchumi hadi za kiakili na kitamaduni. Ili aweze kuendelea na maisha yake yenye changamoto nyingi hizo, mwanadamu lazima ajenge au akubali maoni na mawazo fulani kuhusiana na masuala haya, na kukubalika huku kutakuwa msingi wa kufuata mwenendo maalum katika kushughulikia au kutatua masuala haya.

Human being encounter many issues in their daily lives, ranging from political and economic to intellectual and cultural. In order to proceed through life with its myriad of issues, the human being must develop or adopt certain opinions and thoughts related to these issues, and this adoption will serve as the basis for pursuing a specific course of action in addressing or resolving these issues.

Maoni au fikra iliyo sahihi zaidi na yenye usahihi mkubwa bila shaka itaongoza kwenye hatua yenye ufanisi zaidi katika kutatua tatizo. Na usahihi wa fikra au maoni yoyote unategemea peke yake nguvu ya ushahidi unaouunga mkono fikra au maoni hayo. Kwa hiyo, hakuna wazo, maoni, kanuni au fikra inayopaswa kukubalika bila daleel (ushahidi) wake. Mchakato wa kupitisha maoni au fikra haupaswi kufanywa kwa sababu ya urahisi au mvuto (iwe kwa maoni yenyewe au kwa anayeyashikilia). Hakuna mtu anayepaswa kukubali fikra au maoni yoyote kwa msingi wa manufaa binafsi, hisia, mwitikio, au kuiga. Hatimaye, daleel ndiyo kigezo pekee cha kuamua ni maoni gani yaliyo sahihi.

The most accurate and correct opinion or thought will doubtless lead to the most effective course of action in resolving an issue. And the accuracy or correctness of any thought or opinion will depend solely upon the strength of evidence that supports the thought or opinion. Therefore, no idea, opinion, rule or thought should be taken without its daleel (evidence). The process of adopting opinions or thoughts should not be done out of convenience or fascination (either with the opinion itself or with the one who carries it). No one should adopt any thought or opinion on the basis of personal benefit, emotion, reaction, or imitation. Ultimately, the daleel is the sole criterion for determining which opinion is correct.

Sababu ya kuweka dalili kuwa msingi pekee wa kukubali fikra yoyote, kitendo, maoni au hukumu yoyote ni kwamba Waislamu watahesabiwa kwa matendo yao watakapokutana na Allah (SWT). Hesabu hii itafanywa kwa misingi ya kila mtu peke yake, ambapo kila mmoja ataulizwa kuhusu matendo yake tu. Wazazi, ndugu, jamaa, marafiki, mashekhe, viongozi, wenye mamlaka, serikali, nchi, wala manufaa na matamanio ya kibinafsi, havitamsaidia mtu yeyote siku ya Kiyama.

The reason for placing the evidence as the sole basis for adopting any thought, action, opinion, or rule, is that Muslims will be held accountable for their actions when they face Allah (swt). This accountability will proceed on an individualistic basis in which everyone will be asked about only his or her actions. Parents, siblings, family, friends, shaykhs, leaders, mas'ools, government, country, or personal benefits and desires, will not avail any individual on the Day of Judgment.
