Medium: Book

Theme: Civilization of Islam

Description: Today, in the world dominated by materialism, where wars and conflicts break out in the four corners of the earth, while states speak of dialogue and tolerance, important issues are raised and await their response. The young Muslim, born into a Muslim family, has little knowledge of the greatness and strength of religion, he wonders about the causes that have pushed him to decline, he sees in Western countries a model and the answer to all his problems. The Westerner feels the malaise of his society corroded by violence and the loss of moral values, he does not know how to fundamentally solve the evils of his civilization, he has only negative clichés about Islam. This book, by Abou hassan Ali Nadwi entitled in Arabic “madhâ khasirâ am-'âlamou bi-nhitâti al-muslimîn”, has the merit of analyzing the problems objectively and answering many questions. The author returns to the situation of the world before the arrival of Islam, then shows the role that Islam played in the reconstruction of humanity. Then it describes the reasons for the material and spiritual decline of the Muslims, the resulting depravity throughout the world, and how much humanity suffered as the Muslims lost command of world affairs. Abou Hassan Ali Nadwi rightly places the importance of Muslims in the history of the world and does not forget to criticize those Muslims who have forgotten their duties.
