and geological sciences. We are living in the competition of inventions, and there has been a
magnificent progress in the outer space and the other planets. Humanity had never even dreamt
of reaching the surface of the moon. Moreover, there are serious endeavors to reach the other
planets.
We should ask whether such explorations and inventions have achieved good for humanity in the
fields of cooperation, association, and luxury, or not. The answer is that the contrary has
occurred. Such scientific progress has taken humanity lower and lower into the savage fighting
and the enormous disputation that carried permanent horror to mankind. It has also taken man to
the bottom of ethical worsening and sexual confusion.
The trends of modern sciences pushed men to degrade each other. This is clear in the United
States where a racial discrimination has been the characteristic of the legislative regulations. This
discrimination is mainly noticed in schools and universities. The authorities there ruled that the
white should possess lodging higher than that of the black. There has been a difference in
penalties, too. Al‐Ahram, the Egyptian journal, mentions in the issue dated on 30/8/1958, that the
international body of antiradicalism called for protesting against the death sentence issued to
Jimmy Wilson, the black American man, for the accusation of larceny of $1.95 from a white
mistress. This sentence would be executed in September 6.
The scientific progression of the United States could not eradicate such a wrong and
transgression.
The material sciences have lacked the ability of being fair and creating amiability and cooperation
among individuals. Majority of philosophers refuted the idea that the salvation of humanity from
combats and disasters lies mainly in the scientific progression. In addition, they declared the
falsity of this supposition. Mr. Leman says, “During the First World War, it was believable that the
salvation of humanity lied in the scientific progression. Today, this illusion has been unveiled.”[2]
Iqbal warns people firmly against such sciences. He declares, “Beware of the studies you are
receiving. They have the capability of killing the spirit of an entire

nation.”[1] As he exposes teaching, Iqbal says, “Modern teaching is as same as the acid that works
for melting humans’ personalities and recomposes them as it likes. Acid is more influential than
any other chemical material since it can change a high mountain into rubbish.”
At any rate, modern sciences have not been interested in developing human behavior or leading
