Malaysia: which challenges towards which modernity?
This mosque is ultimately far more "modern" than all the blind
mimicry of American models. Our task, after all, is to
consider the ethical principles and the technical capacity
available to us in our day, while not for an instant forgetting
the ethical principles that underlie diversity and the
environment itself. Our task is to provide modernity with a soul,
to
breathe life into spiritual and humanist creativity. What a
pleasure to pray in such a mosque: one senses the
encounter of intelligence and creative imagination. From Perlis,
far from the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur, flows the
intuition that the "floating mosque" may well be the symbol of
Muslims' greatest contribution to an era in search of
meaning: To express its specificity in universal terms, in full
respect of pluralism and to respond in full awareness and
with all necessary expertise, to the challenges of our time.
