From that standpoint we focus mainly on the level of education. Education in its general sense does not have an ideological identity, it is merely the knowledge that provides the mind productive thought that could propel the Islamic society to higher levels of productivity and creativity than other societies.
Therefore, the rational movement is the closest path to what society should look up to. To use your mind is to depend on science and knowledge, and in most cases applied sciences cannot be separated from one another by categories. They are all closely connected and dependent. The Islamic view can only be applied on the humanities, and only there can the western and Arab Islamic cultures merge.”
Al-Sayyed Al Amine also adds saying: “The Islamic society however is in need of increased levels of education to elevate Islamic thinking to higher ranks, where these countries may become producers. Most of this depends on the aspect of development and its enhancement. The more that is invested in development, the more society demands higher levels of knowledge and education to sustain this economic development and growth.

This requires the introduction of a new Islamic interpretation that would allow these values to be taught in a way that is coherent with modern thinking and scientific knowledge as aforementioned.
