However, I assert that they don’t mean to
violate the precept of Islam on purpose.
This
is simply because of a lack of the knowledge and the pursuit of
Islam.
The need of call activities of Islam in
Japan
As I
mentioned before, the Muslim population has been increased since the 1970’s.
However, the number of Japanese theologians on Islam is very small compared to
that of Japanese Muslims. That is the urgent problem which should be solved from
both the inside and the outside of the country. The establishment of an Islamic
university can help to solve this. And sending many Japanese Muslims to the Arabic Islamic countries should help the spread
of Islam. Still, the former solution cannot easily be accomplished for the lack
of funds for the establishment.
I
would like to mention the latter solution in the last chapter.
It
is a pity that Japanese companies employ the Japanese Muslims, who studied in
Arab countries, especially those who majored in Arabic, as interpreters or
office workers because they tend to neglect their primary goal, the calling
activities of Islam.
The problem of the words in the calling
activities
The Arabic Islamic
countries have sent professional daiyah to Japan to spread the true religion,
Islam. Still, it is difficult to attract the Japanese without the language, the
most important means in calling activities. This is why their great efforts
haven’t achieved good results yet. For this reason, more education of Japanese
to foreign missionaries is needed.
I
would like to suggest examining the problems that the daiyah are facing in Japan
and to sharing the call activities; the Japanese daiyah teach the precede of
Islam, and the foreign daiyah, Arabic and Islam
studies
