Understanding Islamic Civilization

The influence of Islam in the modern world is diverse and can be attributed to Islamic civilisation. Islamic civilization refers to the complex and rich cultural, scientific, and socio-political developments that emerged from the Islamic world, spanning from the 7th century onwards. This civilization is characterized by its vast geographical reach, diverse cultural influences, and significant contributions to various fields of knowledge and arts. Islamic civilization began with the advent of Islam in the 7th century CE, marked by the Prophet Muhammad's mission in Mecca and Medina. Following Muhammad's death, the Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid Caliphates expanded Islamic rule across a vast territory, from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Indian subcontinent in the east. Islamic civilization has clashed with the West, Orthodox and Buddhist civilizations just to name a few and its expansion facilitated the exchange of ideas, cultures, and technologies among diverse populations and continues to remain as a significant cultural and political force today. This video is a deep dive into Islamic civilization, examining its historical origins, ideology, and its current socio-cultural impacts. Get ready for an intriguing and exciting investigation into one of the world’s most significant civilisations.

Mohammed, to remind you, was vehemently opposed to art in any representational form. All visual art other than calligraphy is by definition anti-Islamic. You are aware of that right? I mean you have done research presumably.

Mohammed and mercenaries should be your next effort. I mean if you actually want to do some work. I think I will have to do a reaction video. Not with any malignant intent, you're probably a perfectly nice young person, but you don't seem to have thought about these things at all. I say that with no disrespect, but you sound like you are repeating secondhand sources to 10-year-olds.

When you say Islam, which one do you mean? the prophet Mohammed said that there would be 73 types of Islam and only one would be correct. Some say this inevitably sets up splinter groups with existential rivalries.

An article published online but since vanished detailed 500 significant size groups each claiming to be the one true Islam. This is important because you are claiming Islam is a thing. Can you give it a definition? That is a serious question because I don't know anyone with a definition that can stand scrutiny. The best definition I know of is this: "the word Islam refers to a hypothetical religious group that may have existed in the early seventh century around the Arab warlord Mahmoud.'''

even momentary contemplation by any moderately informed person reveals knowledge of dozens of different religions each claiming to be Islam. The suggestion that these are in fact simply denominations is spurious and entirely of late 20th century origin. For that matter so is the Koran, the modern form of which was decided in 1983.

To say that something is Islamic is itself a modern innovation, largely promoted by Saudi Arabian backed propaganda units. Most of the civilisational elements that are usually referred to as Islamic have nothing to do with Islamic societies, but rather predates them or originate outside them. So what on earth are you talking about?

Rashidun Caliphate, probably, you can it the first official presidential state. The Caliphs were chosen by the people to represent them and manage their life alongside the shora council, which you can call it the senate council to decide what can be done.

Why so many religions? Is so sad. But God knows.
