الحضارة الإسلامية
Abstract
This brief research deals with the role of Islamic civilization in human history since its inception 1400 years ago and its passing through many stages until the present day. The research also addresses what this civilization bears in terms of characteristics and features that make it distinct from other civilizations, and the answer to questions that question the Islamic civilization and claim that it is an inauthentic civilization. The study also discusses the political, economic, social, intellectual and artistic aspects of Islamic civilization, citing historical incidents and evidence that support the idea of the inclusiveness of Islamic civilization and its inclusion of all areas contained in any civilization.Furthermore, the study compares the Islamic civilization with other civilizations such as the Western and Indian, showing the most important foundations and principles that distinguish between them, then talks about the challenges facing the Islamic civilization in our current era, the future of Islamic civilization, and responding to theories that claim the inevitability of the demise of civilizations, including the Islamic civilization.The study derives several conclusions, which have been divided them into points that contributed to further clarifying the role of Islamic civilization in the field of human history, and that it is an authentic civilization that has continued since fourteen centuries until God inherits the earth and those on it.
