Islamic History

Islam is a universal religion. It is working everywhere without any limitation of time and space. This position of Islam is not new one because Islam has been the religion of the people / human being, those maintains different languages, various culture and multiple ethnicities in the Universe. The existence of Bilal-e-Habshi, Sohaib-e-Rome, Salman Farsi, is the Strong evidence on the point.
Islamic history records that, it had reached into four continents of the world during its formatting period. It is understood that Islamic reached up to China on one side and on the other side it covered the greater part of Africa during first century of Higra.
The history of Islam and the Muslim is very vast, they passed through the age of bristly guarded, Kali faith, Umayyad, Abbasids, and Mores in Spain Central Asian State, African’s State and Sub- Continent Indo – Pakistan. Islam left its heavy legacy in Turkey and Persia of today, where as the Islamic light shed at far- eastern countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Brownie Dar-ul-Islam.
Today Islam is the second largest religion of the world. Its followers are residing at all parts of the world. The Muslims have 58 independents states and in addition to these independents states the Muslims are living in all independents country and states.
If it is supposed that the Global Population is Six billion people then the Muslims are 1.5 Billion individual 60% of the Muslim is residing in independent Muslim states, where as other 40% Muslims are living in Non-Muslims States. Its means that about 60 Millions Muslims are living in Non-Muslims states, where they are struggling hard to maintain their identity through the preservation and protection of their Civilization.
A deep survey of Muslims state reveals that the Muslims are found of their civilization. They want to preserved protect and follow its fundamentals, so is observed that the majority of the Muslims are living in such a way that they are applying the fundamentals of Islamic Civilization into their life’s.
The mixing merger of other contemporary civilization with the Islamic is creating difficulties among the Muslim Youth inspire of influence and interference of other civilization is maintaining its status among the masses and the Muslims scholars are working hard to preserved Islamic civilization through its application in Muslim society.
The survival of Islamic Civilization in this World for the past 15 centuries and its piracies by the Muslims prove that Islamic Civilization is a Global Civilization .It is practicable everywhere in the world, so as it lived in the past .It would continue to exist in future too. (INSHALLAH) Moreover the world civilization is passing through the rise fall and pace breakages from time to time. The non-revealed civilization either they are the story of the past or if they exist today they have accepted amendments and changes in such a way that they have lost their original formation by one may or other.
While on the other hand Islamic Civilization is not only preserving its fundamentals in their original form and position but the Islamic Civilization is also proving its worth during the changing conditions of the universe. Its means that the civic norms those were introduced by the divine teachings during the ages those are still preserved by the Muslims and they are applying them into their routine life. Its means that the basics and fundamentals of Islamic Civilization are same today those were practiced by the Muslims during the formatting periods of Islamic Civilization.
Since Islamic civilization draws its values and norms from divine knowledge, so they are beyond from any change. They are in accordance with the human nature and they are practicable at all places during the passage of History. As the divine knowledge does not accept any change or amendment in the same way Islamic Civilization Remains free from all types of changes and amendments ,but on the other hands its extends its benefits to other civilization and human society . So we do observe that African Civilization, Indian Civilization, European Civilization has accepted a lot of impact and influence from Islamic Civilization.
