This is confirmed by those who have been in relation with the Western culture for many years, even admiring the West. They say, today the West—at sensitive levels—has a quest for Islam. What do I mean by sensitive levels? The ignorant and ordinary people, or those whose interests are strongly involved--like rulers, governors, capitalists, who stock on money, who bully others-- represent the insensitive level of the Western societies. Whereas, scientists and scholars, conscious individuals, intellectuals and young people comprise the sensitive parts of the Western societies. These sensitive parts are thirsty of a school of thought and a lifestyle that saves them from thousands of real problems in life. Many of the problems in life are not real problems. Real problems include feeling mentally insecure, loneliness, depression, instability, and lack of confidence and peace of mind.
These are real problems inflicting mankind which might make them commit suicide, even if they are at the climax of wealth and fame. Why would a young person who has all the money and luxuries they need for a comfortable life want to take their own life? What is this pain that is even worse than poverty, lack of livelihood facilities, or sexual satisfaction? The pain that has inflicted the materialistic societies of the world and western civilization today includes lack of confidence, lack of peace of mind, lack of a spiritual support point, lack of fondness among people, a feeling of loneliness, and fragility. The sensitive groups of the societies which suffer from this pain more are waiting for a hero to come and save them. In places where they are aware of it, Islam is held in esteem.
