Today many Muslims are of the opinion that the main crisis of our world is essentially the crisis of value. The idea is quite widespread among the Christians and the Jews as well. It is claimed that this crisis extends its deadering influence to man's personal, economic, social, political and even scientific life. Man's scientifik and technological achievements, his concept of total development, economic or otherwise, ought to be redifined in terms o a sound ethical world-view. The modern man, it is claimed further, ought also to bring about a radical change in his concept of the model man -concept which seems to consist mainly, if not wholly, in the supremacy of science and technology, and in the pursuit of happihess in the mate -alistic sense of the term. Egoistic, hedonistic, pr dential or, at best, utulitarian views of morality a preached everywhere, including the Musli.. World.
