On Islamic Hypermodernity:

Islam is rooted in Prophetic Tradition and in this regard maintains a dialogue with secular civilization that inclines toward fitra and tawhid. The dunya is ever spiraling in decline and Insan navigates it with guidance and wisdom. Hidden Treasure is beyond the horizon, not on the decaying map.

Hypermodernity presents the new stain of cyberspace where the imaginary has collapsed into the real with the liquidation of any perceived barrier. This eventual shift away from post-modernity was clearly demarcated in 1995 with global capital coming online, accelerating the digitization of everything analogue. Insan is once again a nomad, disconnected from anything but the luminous glow of cyberspace - a hyper-dividual that is a nation-state unto himself. Capital interest is no longer in human physical abilities but the unplugged and deworlded, neuronal composition of the dividual who can behemoth into orbit about the planet. Here, in cyberspace, there be monsters, dragons, and gods.

But man is vicegerent!

Hypermodernity is the death of utopian projects. Art is dead, too. Even academic disciplines are unnecessary. Luxury, instant gratification, and absolute power are the only “goals” now. “When everyone’s super, no one will be.” And so, the new natural enemy becomes insan al kamil – ⁹⁄₁₁, ¹⁰⁄₇ these events did not happen in a vacuum. As everything collides in cyberspace it is possible a hypermodern boundary act will birth a revived Islamic civilization. The split bandwidths of your nafs can still reflect Simorgh if you are adequately disciplined in strangeness.

Islamic civilization has traditionally thrived on four elements: Capital, Hierarchy, Geography, & Climate. Digital self-sovereignty must be reclaimed. Nuclear families must be marshaled. Digital nomads must build Network States. Hijra must be made back to the margins to avoid catastrophe. And most importantly, theurgy must be embraced. This is only an introduction and outline. There is much work to do!
