    In order to make an argument contrary to the beliefs of many Americans, Karen Armstrong uses her biography Muhammad to portray Islam as a religion that was created simply to seek social change in a problematic time period. One central theme of the book is that at the time when Islam was created, it was helpful, almost necessary to the people of 7th century Arabia, as their lives were undergoing a period of rapid change. In fact, one could even take away from Muhammad that the message of Islam could be appropriate in today’s society as well. In the early centuries of the Common Era, Trade was revolutionized in the Middle east.…

    Sayyid Qutb has been one of the most notarized writers of Islamic fundamentalism this century. He has inspired many of the radical Islamic movements of the 1970s and 80s in the Middle East and Northern Africa, and his ideas of an Islamic society have been used again and again. Qutb has also influenced numerous generations of Egyptian and Arab intellectuals who seek to understand Islam as an ideology first and foremost, and as an ideology that leads to changes in the social order. Qutb wrote most of his influential political works in the 50s and 60s, while he was frustrated with Third World state of Egypt, and Qutb sought to reinvent Egypt within the context of Islam. He considered Islam ¿ political Islam especially ¿ to be the only alternative to the ñills of contemporary Muslim societies.î(1) Although QutbÍs writings incorporate many topics, including educational reform, philosophy and more, his most notable writings were those about Jahiliyyah, and his fear that Egypt was falling into the grips of a Western spirituality. Qutb felt that Islam was in danger of spiritual imperialism from the West and he sought first and foremost to preserve it. Qutb believed wholeheartedly in the supreme nature of Islam, and he felt that he needed to use radical political tactics to achieve his ends. He used his power and influence with the Muslim Brotherhood to promote his agenda. I argue that Qutb was above all a realistic political theorist (rather than a theologian or a philosopher), who would stop at nothing to see his vision realized.…

    There were many factors that led the colonists to push for Independence. Early on, the colonies became accustomed to representational government, and Parliament’s interference with this right is one major factor that sparked the independence movement. In Virginia, the House of Burgesses, the first form of representational government in the New World, was established in 1619. Moreover, the Mayflower Compact was signed as a covenant between God and the people before the Pilgrims set foot on land in Plymouth. By signing their names, each man pledged to follow the government established when they reached land. This foundation was built upon by the General Court of Freemen in which every man, free or unfree, was allowed to vote for a representative to the assembly. A similar form of government was established in Massachusetts Bay with selectmen, who were elected to vote on issues related to the town, similar to a city council. It…

    The Iranian Revolution of 1978-1979 fits into the Ideological Worldview of Revivalism for the reason that it portrayed itself as an “Islamic Revolution” by means of validating activists’ claims a return to the religion of Islam would restore religious identity and vitality through God’s guidance. This was accomplished by organizing in addition to empowering Iranians in opposition of an apparently unbeatable shah which was even praised by a religious stated-supported clerical leader by the name of Ayatollah Khomeini (1979-89). The reason as to why was because of its prominent outlook as a revolution that was a vindication of the actual nature of Islam as the sole all-inclusive guidance for life and the basis of a just society. It does indeed…

    4. The history of partition begins with the formation of Indian National Congress in 1885 with demands of participation of educated Indians in the government. At first, the Congress was not anti-British, however, with the passage of time and increasing popularity, the Indian National Congress became active in independence of India form British rule. Skeptical of the Congress’s ruling elite of majority Hindus, in 1906, All India Muslim League came into being in order to protect and represent the interests of Muslims in India which formed 25-30% of total population. Later, the party demanded a separate homeland for Muslims in name of Pakistan. The basis for such a demand lay in the promulgation of Two-Nation theory which was first echoed in the gathering of Muslim League in 1930 by Allma Muhammad Iqbal, the famous poet, a philosopher and a leader of Muslim League. Iqbal asserted in his…
