BACKGROUND OF JAMIA:
Under the colonial British Rule, two dominant trends join hands and contributed towards in the birth of Jamia's. One was the anti-colonial Islamic activism and the other was the pre-independence aspiration of the politically radical section of western educated Indian Muslim intelligentsia. In the political climate of 1920, the two trends gravitated together with Mahatma Ghandi as a catalyst. The anti-colonial activism signified by khilafat and the pro-independence aspiration symbolized by the non-cooperation movement of Indian national congress helped

Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, and Abdul Majeed khawja supported by Ghandi Ji shifted Jamia from Aligarh to Karol Bagh, in New Delhi in 1925. Ghandi ji boosted the morale of Jamia saying,” The Jamia has to run. If you’re worried about its finances I will go about with a begging bowl. Though Jamia has its supporters however the risk of helping a congress backed institutions under the British rule dissuaded many willing benefactors. During those difficult days it was hakim Ajmal khan who met most of Jamia’s expenses from his own pocket. Dr.M.Ansari and Abdul Majeed khawja toured India and abroad explaining the importance of Jamia and for collecting funds for this noble enterprise. This collective intervention did avert a collapse which was almost certain.In 1925 however after along deliberation, a group of three friends studying in Germany i-e Dr Zakir Hussain, Dr Abid Hussain and Dr Muhammad Mujeeb decided to serve Jamia. Dr Zakir Hussain was offered a salary of Rs 100, later on reduced to
KAILI HONG PER.3 THE ISLAMIC EXPANSION The early Islamic empire expanded in a couple of ways. One of the ways was the war. I found this evidence in document A where it says that the Muslims to fight gathered together to fight the Greeks. The Greeks would tie each others foots to each other so none of them would escape during the war.
This past Sunday, June 18th, America lost muslim teen, Nabra Hassanen to what most call road rage, and others, a hate crime. Hassanen, accompanied by a group of friends were headed back to a local mosque after a trip to a fast-food restaurant. It was then that they encountered driver Darwin Martinez Torres and an argument erupted. The altercation escalated, resulting in the capturing and death of 17 year old Hassanen. Torres had beaten her with a baseball bat, abducted her, and dumped her body into a lake.
After the death of Muhammad in 632 CE, a rift occurred within the Islamic community. There was a vacancy for leadership and a question of who was qualified to fill it. At that time the companions of the Prophet were elected to be central leaders and were known as Caliphs. The way in which Caliphs were elected, and who succeeded them, is where the difference between Sunni and Shia begins.
Between the late 600’s to 700’s, Islamic civilization spread to encompass such an extensive empire by using economic and political practices. They used tactics such as required taxes and tributes for non-Muslims in Arabia by using peaceful coercion, by raiding neighborhood areas for resources, and by deploying a violent self-defense approach against those who opposed against them. The Muslims utilized a false sense of acceptance towards non-Muslims and took advantage of neighboring areas to further themselves economically. The Muslims gave off an appearance of a false-acceptance towards non-Muslims, such as Jews or Christians, in the Arabian Peninsula.
The Islamic Empire was huge, large, and untied. The early Islamic empire expanded by fiercely attacking and conquering other lands, as well as uniting them. To start off, In Document A (which is reliable because it happens to be written by Muslim historian Ahmad al-Biladuri in the 800s) it talks about how they killed 70,000 people. Even girls helped in creating a bloodbath which shows how fierce and strong they were on a battlefield and how they easily took more lands.
The Islamic empire was situated directly between two powerhouses: Europe and China. They had managed to fend off conquest by the Arabs, who were taking over land from Spain to India, but they were struggling. Both were infested with plagues that killed off hundreds of thousand of citizens. Europe was stuck in the Middle Ages, where trade was nonexistent and medicine primarily consisted of guesswork and foolish ideas. China’s merchants were on the bottom of society, and so trade suffered there, on top of an eventual Mongol threat.
The crusades were a huge thing in the medieval times. They lasted for hundreds of years and people believed it was their religious duty to fight, because they thought it would please God. They were also promised access to heaven, by the pope. The crusades involved three main religions Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I believe that the muslims were more to blame for the crusades, because they posed the first threat, and because they killed and sold many into slavery.
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.
Cities in the Muslim World were often political centers, economic center and areas of religious importance during the post classical period. The Muslim World was a place of political centers due to being the foundation of the religion of Islam. Once Islam was created they wanted to spread its religion and it spread to other places and these other countries became Muslim cities. The Muslim world also had economical centers because when Islam spread, they set up trade routes that boosted the economy. As the cities developed they became of religious importance as they built religious structures, all in the Muslim world.
Islam started in Mecca during the time of the powerful prophet Muhammad. Through military conquest, trade, and pilgrimages, Arab Muslims forces gained vast territories over time. Muslims inherited countless costumes from Greece, Rome, and India. Also they would adopted new advances in mathematics, astronomy and Muslims. This includes Greece, Rome, and India.
Consequently, Suleiman developed a good reputation in the eyes of the public, as they were able to gain power in society for only being a moral individual. Furthermore, the Delhi Sultanate allowed for Hindus to work government jobs, weren’t forced to pay the expensive jizya tax bestowed upon by other major Western Muslim empires, and were able to support the economy in their partake in the job system (OI). As a result,
During the 600’s, Islam began to spread fast throughout the region, but they’re many reasons why Islam is still around today and has been successful in gaining followers since then. But why did it spread so fast? It could be because of the followers Muhammad had, and the routes that Islam traveled on that it became the phenomenon that it is today. Why is it a well known religion today? The devoted followers are the base of the answer.
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.
The leader that everyone referred to as Mohammad had various things to offer his followers.(1) ~insert an opinion on this topic~ According to documents 1 and 2 he offered things to his followers and the leaders of Christian Arab tribes.(2) Document 1 states that , “Believe or else pay tribute [money]… obey the Lord and His Apostle [Mohammad], and he will defend you. ”(3) This shows that you are only offered something if you believe what he believes or believe in him.(4) In document 2 it is to be said that if you are a Muslim and you follow him you will be brought into the garden of paradise unfortunately if you do not you will be punished.(5)
Malcolm X and Mahatma Gandhi were two incredible men, both fighting for independence among their people. These distinctly different men were among the strongest fighters who set foot in authority. Malcolm X, an African-American leader spread religion to combat the weakening of his fellow African-Americans, as well as to expand the supporters of Muslim beliefs. Mahatma Gandhi, a leader in India’s independence movement from the British, weakened British rule through civil resistance. While Malcolm X and Gandhi both fought for their people’s freedom, their religion, beliefs, and methods for achieving independence differ in certain aspects but also have similar elements.
