Focusing needs to be placed upon eliminating the gap between thought and action, between idealism and realism and between the ideological leadership on one side and the socio-political leadership on the other.
The Islamization of knowledge also is needed and crucial for removing dualism in the educational system. In Islamizing knowledge there is a number of principles that constitute the essence of Islam must be continuously observed. These principles constitute the framework of Islamic thought and methodology. They are the main matter that guides Islamic mentality, psychological build-up and personality in academic and everyday life.

KAILI HONG PER.3 THE ISLAMIC EXPANSION The early Islamic empire expanded in a couple of ways. One of the ways was the war.

The Greeks would tie each others foots to each other so none of them would escape during the war.
During the Age of Exploration Europeans hoped to subside the power of Islam and diminish its threat to the security of Europe by expanding and controlling global markets by reducing their market trade, although it was believed the Muslim world had entered a period of decline and turmoil with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate during the Era of the Mongols, on the contrary in the shadows of the Age of Exploration between the late Fifteenth and early Sixteenth century in the Middle East and South Asian subcontinent the rise of three great Muslim Empires, the Ottomans, the Safavids and the Mughals was occurring, the Ottoman empire being one of the strongest.

Islam went from a couple of people to all of Arabia, North Africa, Spain and South Asia. It all started when Muhammad visited a cave to pray. He thought the people of Mecca were to greedy. An angel came to the cave and made Muhammad speak Allah’s words. Allah was the monotheistic god, for Islam.
During the Islamic Golden Age, science, economic development, and cultural works flourished in the Islamic world. As they spread to civilizations, such as Greece, Rome, and India, Muslims assimilated, advanced, and applied those cultures’ scholarships. They read books and built their knowledge to the point where they could make their own discoveries. They built a strong trading empire by using scientific instruments and the night sky to guide them, and they had access to plenty of resources and goods. These advancements affected numerous fields in their own society and, eventually, in European society.

Countries like Africa and Spain were majorly impacted by the spread of Islam. They were introduced to new inventions and beliefs. As well as protection of the country and people within it whom they controlled. The Islam Empire was one of the biggest Empires in the world.
In the city of Mecca, a man started a new religion known as Islam. This man was Muhammad who was born in about 570 C.E. While going to pray in a cave in the mountains of Mecca, an angel named Gabriel visited Muhammad. Gabriel proclaimed that Muhammad was a prophet, messenger of God. As he received messages from God, Muhammad began to teach and recite them to others. Over time, Islam attracted new followers through military conquest, trade, and the appeal of message, which contributed to the rapid spread of Islam.
The attitudes of Christianity and Islam towards merchants and trade are different from one another in the beginning stages, but as time progress each moderate their earlier views. In the beginning Christians found it unfit to be a rich merchant, while Islam’s judgment on trade was acceptable as long as they were honest and the trading was just. As time went by over a couple hundred years, the followers if each belief changed their views on trade, though it was acceptable, merchants were expected to trade geniuses. In the beginning Christians found it unfit to be a rich merchant, while Islam’s judgment on trade was acceptable as long as they were honest and the trading was just.
Islam is a religion, so how do you think it came about. Well because of trade, military conquest, and political order. All of these subjects are why Islam spread so quickly. In document A, the passage was talking about trade. During 570, in the Middle East Islam spread so quickly through trade.

Comparison and Contrast Essay While the Indian Ocean and Trans-Saharan trade routes both encouraged and facilitated the spread of Islam, the Indian Ocean saw a more extensive diffusion of disease, and traded across water instead of land. Islam was a widespread religion amongst both trade routes, but other religions, like Buddhism, were not as popular along the Trans-Saharan route. Through the time period, we see evidence of Islam’s dominance in the form of muslim architecture and the rulers of the time period.
The main themes of Before European Hegemony revolve around the many aspects of trade, disastrous events, and the many pivotal events and advancements which changed the course of the many rival nations within the era preceding total European dominance.

A. PREAMBLE The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 has sparked intense curiosity and interest in the world especially the West to learn and investigate the religion of Islam.

Quran and Sunnah of prophet Mohammad and even question and challenge the prevailing culture and practices, and domineering structures.
