The Contribution of Islam to the Solution of World Problems

At the 16th International Religious Freedom Conference held in Chicago, Illinois on 10th August 1958, Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan, Deputy Chairperson of The Hague International Court, was asked to give a speech. Solving the Islamic world problem

The speech of Lord Mohammed Khan covering all aspects of Islamic education has great information value. The content is related to the content of the speech 40 years ago.

The contribution of Islamic scientists in the knowledge of various fields from the 8th century to the 16th century was surprising. However, since the 16th century, the Islamic world experienced several turbulent events, inviting political and economic recession in many Muslim countries, leading to poverty. These incidents are Crusaders, invasion of Mongolians, natural disasters, loss of international trade, surrender of the Ottoman Empire to Western interests, and the rise of European imperialism.

The Islamic era was an era of intelligentism and scientific, social and philosophical progress, but the greatest contribution to the world was Islamic medicine. Muslim scholars have developed techniques and procedures to gather massive information from the known world, add their own observations, and form the basis of modern medicine. In medical history, Islamic medicine is undoubtedly the greatest period of progress before the 20th century technology.

The Islamic Renaissance (ihya ') means supporting the Islamic values ​​for the influence of the modern world as a response to the Western European and secular trends. Therefore, returning to Islam in its purest form is considered a solution to the diseases of the Islamic society and the whole modern society. One of the expressions of Ishi is the Sarafiya movement, in particular its Waha-vi format. Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al - Wahhab (d. 1791) is concerned about the existence of religion and attempts to rectify the dangerous innovation brought into Islam. By emphasizing the concept of tawhid, he refuses to mediate all forms between God and believers. Especially his aim was to eliminate Sufi's ideas and customs, such as worshiping saints and ziyarah in their tombs, and accusing the excessive worship of the prophet Muhammad.
