No doubt, these are the ingredients that can help Islamic society emerge as a successful community amongst all nations of the world.
The book gives a true picture of Muslims’ glorious past and details future guidelines by elaborating contemporary fields of studies including Philosophy, Law, History, Literature, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences.
This is a well-researched book by a writer who has thoroughly studied the academic traditions of Muslims and non-Muslims of medieval and modern ages and has produced a harmonious narrative of both traditions.
The book meticulously details how Muslims, at one time, led the entire world in every walk of life by fashioning their lives in accordance with thetrue teachings of Islam. At the same time Muslims, by exceptional intellectual endeavors and physical struggle, ruled a major part of the world, spreading not only the divine message of their faith but also building a splendid civilization, just societies and a rich cultural heritage but this did not last; the Muslims failed to adapt to the changing times and, as a result, they are now at their lowest.
