This is a good example of the kind of Sufi romanticism that does not belong in Digital Hijra.
https://rusafatoramla.substack.com/p/the-sufi-case-for-environmentalismIf the critique of modernity boils down to plastics being too far removed from the natural world, then it stands to reason that the critique itself collapses the moment it touches the modern conditions (computer, phones, laptops, servers, petrochemical infrastructure, etc) under which it is being made.
I invite the author and other Muslims of Sufi orientation to read our essay about Digital Hijra:
naddr1qqgr...The problem with modern technology is not that it is synthetic or far removed from raw materials, it's that it is usually built inside systems of riba, surveillance, dependency, and enclosure.
Digital Hijra is a call to rebuild technological life in a vicegerent way, on sovereignty, ownership, moral discipline, and accountable infrastructure. This is where Wahdat al-Wujud should lead us to as we navigate hypermodernity.
