Lost Islamic History: Reclaiming Muslim Civilisation from the Past By Firas Alkhateeb

[ اردو ترجمہ  ---- ]

Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social and political forces in history. Over the last 1400 years, from origins in Arab, a succession of Muslim polities and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions while offering the reader a new narrative of this lost Islamic history.

The Umayyads, Abbasids, and Ottomans feature in the story, as do Muslim Spain, the savannah kingdoms of West Africa and the Mughal Empire, along with the later European colonization of Muslim lands and the development of modern nation-states in the Muslim world.

And Allah is not unaware of what you do. (Qur’an 2:85).

Al-Khiafah is Relevant الخلافة

Many people think that in modern era there is no room for a primitive concept like Al-Khilafah, while others think that it is the only solution to the problems faced by Muslims. These two are extreme positions. The nostalgia of Caliphate lingers on the collective memory of Muslims as a symbol of unity in the glorious past. The urge for revival of splendor and dignity has turned some to make efforts for revival of the Caliphate, as a quick fix to the complex problems of lost identify and grandeur. This has alarmed the oppressive corrupt Muslim regimes as well as the neocolonial powers. While the viability of establishment of system of Caliphate in some form is yet a distant proposition, which is possible through evolutionary process. However there is a need to look in to this concept in political, economic, geographical, historic and religious perspective.

The Prince by Machiavelli میکاولی کی مشہور کتاب "دی پرنس"
