Muslim Ummah: Roles And Responsibilities To Rule The World Again

Abstract

Islam is a religion that can give us the true and complete guidance in all spheres of the life for the definite success. The rise of Islamic caliphate and ruling the world till centuries is the evidence of this claim. Unfortunately, today Muslims are confused and bewildered how to take the middle ground between the two extremes of modernism and traditional Islam, if the modernism is the only way of progress and prosperity in present era as west claims. After the two centuries of supremacy, west claims what Lord Cromer, the British high commissioner in colonized Egypt, once announced in 1880: "Islam reformed is Islam no longer”². As the result, this claim opened the door of further discussion, and there has been wide divergence of opinion among Muslims scholars concerning about the adaptation from the modernism and postmodernism. It is essential to preserve the authentic inheritance of Islamic traditions in order to break away from the massive influence of modernity. Muslim Ummah must attitude is to be taken towards the colonial and postcolonial powers.
