modernization and westernization:a core concept

It is extremely important for all us to know that both these are not to be confused with each other.they are entirely different from each other.as modernization is not a bad thing if we keep our limits and know that where our religion ,culture values norms stop us.
adopting modernization means moving along with the world and being able to be competitive with them so we need to adapt modern ways in a few aspects.so that we do not lack behind and the world does not go ahead from us.
however westernization is not something favourable as this means forgetting our culture, our eligion our norms and adopting of west.completely forgetting who we are and what are our roots.its vital for us to condemn the westernization cultureand stick to ours.if we want to be able to teach our future generations that where do we belong to.this concept is for europe ,america and other non-muslim countries but we need to know that being muslims its our duty to follow our customs,norms and values.

  3. westernisation means adopting western culture i..e is industry,tech,law,politics,clothing,economy,lifestyle etc. if you are trying to copy them in industry,tech,ecomomy..its fantastic;but if you misunderstand western culture in terms of clothing,their lifestyle it would be misleading
