Description :

Muhammad Ahsan : A dedicated research scholar, has extensively published on social and economic issues particularly in relation to the Muslim World. His recent work focuses on globalisation and the Muslim world. The book in hand represents a significant contribution to a range of sciences and academic dsiciplines. The timing of this publication is particularly pertinent when the doom-laden predictions of Samuel Huntington's The Clash of Civilisations and the Remaking of the World Order are beginning to be given greater credence. The contribution of the Muslim World to a wide range of sciences and academic disciplines is often overlooked or taken for granted.

Muhammad Ahsan conveys a sense of rich cultural heritage within the Muslim World. Moreover, he also stresses the centrality within Islamic teaching of improving one's education. This book will be educational for Muslims and, particularly, non-Muslims alike. The aim of this work is to highlight the civilsing advances that arose from the Muslim world. Hopefully, a greater awareness of this will lead to an increased understanding of the development of Muslim culture and the contribution it continues to make to patterns of global development


This book provides a glimpse of the rich cultural heritage within the Muslim World and the significant role that Muslims have played in the advancement of knowledge.
