ISBN: 9780860374619
Author: M. Umer Chapra
Publisher: The Islamic Foundation (2008)
Pages: 225 Binding: Paperback
Description from the publisher:
Muslim civilization has experienced an overall decline during the last five centuries after having witnessed a long period of prosperity and comprehensive development. This raises a number of questions such as what factors enabled Muslims to become successful during the earlier centuries of Islam and what led them to their present weak position. Is it Islam which is responsible for this decline or are other factors which come into play? Dr. Chapra, in this penetrating study, has tried to answer these questions thoroughly and has then discussed a reform program that could help reverse the cycle of decline.
