Globalization & the Muslim World: Challenges and Prospects(Book Chapter)

More from Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak

A world without war is a utopian idea embraced by most peace-loving citizens of the world. Contrary to the wish of the vast majority of the world population, war happens for one reason or the other. So long as the war-mongers and the war industry exist, wars are here to stay depriving humanity of the prospect of world peace. Some of the reasons why nations go into war are over a territorial dispute, natural resources, annexation of a neighbouring country, etc. Despotic leaders wage war for the purpose of spreading their ideologies and establishing their fame and glory. At times, in their hunger for power, they are prepared to kill their fellow citizens of the country. History provides ample evidence as to the number of people killed in wars perpetrated by tyrannical leaders. Leaders like Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), architect of the Holocaust, Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Joseph Stalin 1878-1953), Mao Tse-tung (1893-1976), Slobodan Milosevic (1941-2006), and many others waged war to establish their power. Pol pot (1925-1998), Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) and the likes brutalize their own people to be in the seat of power. After fighting wars on land, sea and sky, superpowers are heading towards a space war. They are planning to install missiles in space and fire them with a push of a button from their command centre on earth. In realizing the agony and horrors of war, the unanswered question in all of our minds is that, after hundreds of years of our human civilization and modernization, why have we not come to think of a way how we can end the war and achieve global peace. While leaders are still thinking of holding on to their power and glory, peace-loving citizens of the world are still hopeful of a better world that can be created in the absence of war in the world.

At times, modernity and its complexities can drive people in the modern world into madness. Despite the fact that people in the urban areas are surrounded by the gifts of science and technology, there are moments in their lives, they might think and feel that all the electronic gadgets which keep their life going, become meaningless. Under certain circumstances in life, regardless of whether people live in the modern setting in the urban or in the remote, they go through similar human experiences. Though the outer world of the two can somehow be different due to economic disparities, their inner world and the dynamics at work are pretty much the same. As human beings, at some point in their lives, both are bound to go through psychological burdens like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bereavement, etc. When there is something boiling and bubbling in the inner world, meaning to say in the deep recesses of their hearts, people wherever they are, look for a quick fix to solve their problems. During such desperate situations, people seek some sort of divine intervention, a philosophy or a mind-control technique to get themselves out of their awful and pathetic condition. Since most people do know the ways and methods how to calm down their hearts, minds and souls, they seek help from those who are experts.

In her book “The Secret of Childhood”, Maria Montessori (1870-1952) highlighted many of the problems faced by children in Italy during her time. Montessori, who started as the first female medical doctor in Italy later ventured herself into psychology and ended her career as a well-known educationist. At the time the book was written, she realized that children of her time have been deprived of their social rights in education. In her observation, she found out that children have been subjected to do many insurmountable hard tasks. They were shown little affection and respect as growing individuals. During her time, the plight of children in Italy was a very disheartening thing for her to witness. The state paid much attention to the needs and rights of the adults compared to that of the children. Children’s social well-being and education were not given serious consideration by the state.

Review on the Secret of Childhood

In the morning of 12th October, 2020, I heard the sad news that Dr. Adil had passed away in Pakistan. Realizing that he has departed from this world, my natural feeling made tears to well up in my eyes. I immediately started to pray for his blessed soul to be placed among those nearest to Allah (Solihin). After that, for a day or two my mind was occupied thinking about the good times I had with this towering scholar from Pakistan. My friendship with Dr. Adil goes back to 2011 when we reported for our teaching job on the same day at the Department of Fundamental & Inter-Disciplinary studies at KIRKHS, IIUM. Ever since our first meeting, our friendship started to blossom into something more. We started addressing one another as ‘brother’. As members of the faculty, we worked together in the various committees we were involved in. Both of us worked together in a few research projects and attended many conferences.

Long before the coming of the modern era of globalization from the West, the Muslim world had seen and enjoyed its own era of globalization. The Muslim era of globalization happened exactly during the peak of the Islamic civilization (750-1258). Around that era, there appeared a great multitude of Muslim scholars and scientists. The openness of the Islamic civilization led early Muslims scholars to borrow ideas from the earlier civilizations; like the Greeks, Persians and Indians. Many pioneering works produced by early Muslims scholars in the areas of science, technology and philosophy later immensely benefited scholars in the West. Concurrent to modern globalization was the era of European colonization of the East and Africa. Since then, Western globalization has been influencing every part of the globe. In the last few decades with the advent of the internet and now social media, knowledge and information sharing have become a lot easier than before. At times, however, the internet and social media have negatively impacted on the masses living in the East, nevertheless their positive impact challenges governments and local authorities in many countries to practice good governance in the day-to-day running of their countries. Through this paper, the researchers intend to explore globalization from the Islamic perspective and discuss issues related to the practice of good governance, politics and the phenomenon of brain drain in the Muslim world. As a qualitative study, this research employs the library research method that uses the textual and content analysis techniques. Pertinent data related to the study will be gathered from print and internet sources.

Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent, innovative and creative. Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and recreate new things using the resources available in the environment. Man’s position as God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative intelligence from his Creator has further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result of his advancement in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating great civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an inborn or a learned behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the existing concepts of human creativity found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very particularly, the researchers would like to examine the concept of creativity put forward by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorist, Humanistic and Islamic psychologies. It is expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic and productive in bringing much needed positive change to present world conditions.
