Image and Global Resemblance in the Light of Hadith “Who So Imitates other People Becomes One of Them”
Journal Title: International Journal of Islamic Thought - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In today’s world, people from different countries, cities and institutions unprecedentedly resemble each other in every aspect of life. Likewise, the deeds and imagery aspirations of Oriental and Occidental people also resemble. In such an atmosphere, the local cultures rooted in history become accessories and lose their historical significance and metaphysical aspects in the edifice of the society. This study aims to analyze Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) warning, “Who so imitates other people becomes one of them”, its layers of meaning and its relationship with “image and global resemblence”.
