This document discusses the challenges faced by Islamic civilizations. It argues that the decline began shortly after the Prophet's death due to political instability, including rebellions, assassinations of early caliphs, and civil war. However, Islam continued to spread rapidly due to its message of tolerance. The document attributes the full decline to several factors, including the intellectual awakening and advances in Europe during the Renaissance, European colonization of Islamic lands, and weak leadership in empires like the Mughals and Ottomans. It calls for Muslims to adapt while drawing on their past, and to work towards universal freedom of religion and equality.

Since Islam originated and has developed in an Arab culture, other cultures which have adopted Islam have tended to be influenced by Arab customs. Thus Arab Muslim societies and other Muslims have cultural affinities, though every society has preserved its distinguishing characteristics. Islamic culture inherited an Arab culture born in the desert, simple but by no means simplistic. It has an oral tradition based on the transmission of culture through poetry and narrative. However, it has been the written record that has had the greatest impact on civilization. Islam civilization is based on the value of education, which both the Qur'an and the Prophet stressed.
One of the distinctive features of the Islamic tradition is its rapid expansion into a large and diverse civilization, soon becoming divided into several centers of political authority. Although the Prophet’s activities were mostly limited to the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, after his death the first four “Rightly Guided” caliphs sent armies to conquer Syria, Egypt, Iraq and parts of Persia, which were then within the declining Byzantine and Persian empires.

The farewell address of Prophet Muhammad was indeed addressed to all humankind at all times and for all generations. It encompasses many aspects of life (general and specific).
He laid down the foundation of morality, chastity, modesty, justice, equality, brotherhood, and accountability. He abolished economic exploitation, human enslavement, paganism, transgression, international law and all systems that contradict with the system of Allah (God).
Furthermore, Muslim international law also dealt long ago, before the Dutch lawyer Hugo Grotius (d. 1645ad) who is considered to be the father of international law.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
3. INTRODUCTION:
• Civilizations rise and decay, empires rise and fall.
• Empire building involves domination or control over
people.
• Civilization is the flourishing of excellence of a civic idea.
• Empires may rise and fall precipitously, but civilizations
take generations to rise and recede.
• Empires require the power of arms, while the civilizations
require the power of ideas.
4. • The glory days of the Islamic civilization spanned more than a
thousand years.
• Muslim intellectuals have been searching for the reasons of
decline of the Islamic Civilizations for at least the last three
centuries.
5. Popular opinions on the decay of Islamic
Civilizations:
• The decay of Islamic civilizations fall in two categories.
• The most popular view seems to be that the Muslims have
veered away from the teachings of Islam.
• The second conventional view is that our travails started with
the ascendance of the West.
• Both observations are partly correct but confuse causes and
effects.
6. A brief historical survey:
• On closer survey of history, it appears that the veering away
from the teachings of Islam started immediately after the
death of the Prophet (S.A.W) in 632.
• Many tribes rebelled at the time of the first Caliph Hazrat Abu
Bakr (RA).
• The second Caliph, Omar (RA) after ten years of rule was
assassinated by a Persian slave.
7. • Twelve years later, the third Caliph Hazrat Uthman (RA) was
assassinated because of deepening political machinations and
accusations of mismanagement.
• The fourth caliph Hazrat Ali (RA) was contested resulting in
Islam‟s first civil war.
• Hazrat Ali (RA) was assassinated by a purist intolerant group
known as “Kharijites”.
• In spite of all these dissentions, Islam grew by leaps and bounds
and had spread to Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Persia within
twenty years after the Prophet (S.A.W).
8. • In 1661, Muawiya the governor of Syria, became the fifth
Caliph.
• Muawiya learned and adapted methods from the Byzantines and
Persians to consolidate the Islamic Empire further.
• He also founded the Umayyad dynasty.
• In 750, Abul Abbas with Shia support destroyed ninety years of
expanding and at times turbulent Umayyad Caliphate, to
establish the Abbasid Dynasty.
9. Reason for the spread of Islam:
• Islam is the religion of tolerance and liberation.
• The defeated people of Byzantine and Persian empires, and later
the people of the Indian subcontinent were quite used to being
oppressed by the rulers.
• They found much more liberty under the Islamic egalitarian
system.
• The lives, properties and beliefs of the defeated people were
protected and they were allowed unhindered commerce.
• Muslims had to pay Zakat.
10. • The non-Muslims called Dhimmis in Arabic were levied Jazia.
• Zakat was distributed among the poor, but Jazia was a source of
income to the state.
• By the dawn of the 12th century, Al Ghazali by his powerful
writings brought about a synthesis of Sufism with the orthodox
Islam, gaining much wider acceptance and eventually great
popularity.
• Sufis, by their humane service oriented practices, became the
main evangelists of Islam.
• Freedom of intellectual pursuits continued to be celebrated by
many Sultans
11. Decline of Islamic Civilization
• Islamic civilizations declined because of the rise of the West.
• The Mughal Empire declined because of the weak leadership and
involvement in wrong activities such as drug addiction and
inefficient leadership.
• The Ottomans, on the other hand , declined due to the weak
leadership , corrupt government and tremendous European
advancement.
12. Rise of the West
• The 15th century saw intellectual awakening in Europe
now known as „the renaissance‟.
• The writings of Arab scientists and philosophers were
translated in European languages
• The maritime supremacy and race towards colonization of
the Americas took place from the 15th to 19th centuries.
• The colonization of the Islamic lands, North Africa, India
and Indonesia by Christian Europeans became established
in the 18th century and reached its zenith in the late 19th
century.
13. Challenge of our times:
• The challenge for our times is to emerge out of narrow
nationalism to a truly worldwide acceptance of laws based on
freedom, equality and justice
• It is time to nurture and fully develop the idea of Darul Aman
(the house of harmony), where citizens of all countries under the
treaty obligations of international law live in peace and equality
and justice as preached by the early Islam before its political
success, and it is imbedded in the modern understanding of the
fundamental human rights.
• Civilizations cannot go back in time to some imagined golden
age. Successful systems draw sustenance from the past, but
accept the challenge of the times to adjust and innovate
14. Time for a new paradigm
• It is time to learn and adapt from the Islamic celebrated past as
well as the developments in other civilizations
• The pioneers and the great scholars instrumental for the golden age
of Islam did not shun the ideas and lessons from the great
civilizations that preceded them. They thoughtfully considered
new, even seemingly alien ideas from Indian, Persian and Greek
civilizations, not with timidity but with confidence and courage
15. • When all religions and ideologies have a level field without the
coercive and corrupting power of the state supporting one over the
other, the best would flourish.
• All religions and irreligious ideologies claim to be the best.
• It is time to strengthen the international institutions of laws and
practice what we preached, but were afraid to practice.
16. • All new or foreign ideas are not necessarily good or bad. It is
important to consider them thoughtfully
• It is time for a civil, thoughtful and fearless debate within the
Islamic polity
• In „devoutly proclaimed‟ religious countries, the religion is
misused to suppress all freedoms and in „devoutly secular‟
countries the religion is suppressed at the altar of secularism.
• Muslims in democracies have the freedom and opportunity to
take this challenge.
• It is time for a new paradigm to aspire and work for - a complete
universal freedom of religion as enshrined in the UN charter
