    The Disintegration of the Muslim World۔۔۔۔۔By: Shafiq Ahmad Kuragh

     

    The rise and fall of the great powers squarely depend upon the dynamism of approaches to the changing projections in foreseeable circumstances. Indeed, various Empire remained fallen short in front of the changeable ambience in the field of education, research, governance and technological advancement. Yet, the short shrift nature of the Muslim world to the scientific progress and advancement due to orthodox mindset and rigid interpretation of Islam discredit the modern nature of Islamic civilization.

     

    Since the post 9/11 attacks, the majorities of the Muslim World became strife-ridden and labelled as terrorist states. The perceptions of radical Islam along with religion based intolerance and persecution annihilated the true message of Islam.

     

    The challenge of Muslim grievances and the confrontation with the West exacerbated the menace of Islam phobia. Unluckily, the loopholes widen further and that the Muslim countries set aside the means to acquire human prosperity and development.

     

    However, according to the report of an independent American think tank, who figure out that the Muslim world wouldn’t give an iota of an importance to the challenge of human development index. Above all, the abysmal picture of poverty and the dismal of literacy rate became hampering influence on the prospect of socio-economic prosperity and development.

     

    Similarly, the menace of underdevelopment in the Muslim countries caused catastrophic state of affairs by installing civil wars, political instability, terrorism and convincing the outsiders to intervene in the pretext of human right violations and democracy.

     

    Nonetheless, the challenges of underdevelopment and violence in the Muslim world triggered by multiples reasons. Indeed, the social evils like poverty, illiteracy, terrorism along with fragile   political infrastructure chip in by institutional bankruptcy, religious fundamentalism and that of the colonial imperialism.

     

    Likewise, according to the authority on the Muslim and the Middle Eastern history, namely, Bernard Lewis in his book “What Went Wrong “propounded that the lack of modernism in the life style of the Muslims caused stagnation to the Muslim world. Yet, since inception, the confluence of religion with politic has poisoned civilizations and has become obstacle to the pace of change and development, for instance, the separation of Church and the State, however, became an embodiment of optimism and enlighement.Through, this the prospects of Renaissances and reformation have harvested diverse avenues to human,especially,the groundbreaking inventions of gunpowder, nautical compass and that of the  printing press renovated window of opportunities to nourish civilizations. Unluckily, the cordial matrix of Ulema and that of the State in the Muslim world have downplayed the ambience of intellectual discourse to acquire right direction of futuristic vision. Unfortunately, it has became hindrance in the efficient progress of civil society, vibrant media and all in all, this confluence has hijacked the Islam as a universal civilization.
