Civilization is the manifestation of beliefs in every aspect of human life. Thus the Islamic civilization can also be defined, namely the manifestation of Islamic faith (tawhid) in every aspect of Muslim life.
Characteristics of Islamic Civilization
Islamic civilization is more emphasis on the human dimension of how to build it especially spiritual and intellectual, and rather than emphasizing the things that are physical or material. Therefore, when the Shahadah was declared the subsequent efforts, as reflected in the letters of the early decline in the Qur'an, fully strived to build the integrity of human beings, people from Asfala safilin be ahsanu taqwim.
The Qur'an commands Civilizations Review
Is it not come to their important news about people who were before them, (namely) of Noah, 'Aad, Thamud, of Abraham, the people of Midian and the countries that have been destroyed? Came to them messengers with a real explanation, then God is not ever wrong them, but they who wronged themselves. (Al-Qur'an: At-Tauba [9]: 70)
Civilization Fir'aunis
Inherit the authority to regulate people's god and master. Then came the support, which consists of people who are considered to be smart, to spread the faith into the heart of communities, build public awareness as well as "freezer," so that all people shackled by it. The next is a technologist supporters, the rich and the military who are ready to anticipate, if there are some people take the fight against the belief, which in fact is manifested in the will of the king.
The Man & Civilization
Human action is essentially the fruit of her own consciousness. When consciousness has freezer by misguided beliefs, the actions of the people who made possible the total submission to the will of the king. If there's one of the simplest forms of resistance although, may be tempered by some other people, because they fear the king. From here we immediately know the values of humanity that is slavery itself. King is the source of the will, and all the people who should be responsible to make it happen. Because it can be seen that the greatness of the pharaohs built pyramid it, always means sacrifice thousands of men and the slaves.
Modern Western Civilization
Materialism is the core of the modern western civilization, but how this core can be protected from the onslaught, then be made to orbit in the form of discourses, issues and themes that seem humane, but actually trap. For example, the issue of human rights, democracy, gender, environment and so forth. These issues as a means to trap and hunt, where people who do not follow in his footsteps or trying to disrupt the status quo has.
Conflict & The Clash of Civilizations
The nature of a great civilization is expansive, distribute and transmit the teachings, values, lifestyles and discourses to various aspects of life and to all mankind. Nature is what makes the ideology that developed rapidly and then character hegemonic against all of humanity that is able to reach.
As is now allegedly a number of parties, that in this era there have been potential conflict of civilizations, which originated from the teachings of Islam, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, the Communists and the West.
The realities of the Islamic ummah
Generation of Muslims who so eloquently unravel various aspects of life in a secular frame but at the same time harassing the superiority of Islam is a phenomenon of civilization. Or rather fight the phenomenon of civilization, where Islam is " subjective" as something that is inferior to finally disappear in her personality to subjective replaced by something that is superior.
Warning of Al-Quran
Whoever turns away from the teaching of God the Most Gracious (Al-Qur'an), we have put to him what the devil (which is misleading), then the devil that is the friend who always accompany it. (Al-Qur'an, Az-Zukhruf [43]: 36)
Islamic Civilization Building the Future: Is it possible?
The reality of Islamic civilization is now in a position superior, when viewed from the perspective of teaching. Contrary, Islam is a civilization which inferiror, when viewed from the human resources. Islam, as expressed in the words of wisdom is the highest teachings and there is no match for it (al-wa islamu ya'lu yu'la 'alayh). But instead of Islam also covered [jets and superiority] by the ignorance of Muslims themselves.
Building an Islamic civilization
Building a civilization of Islam, means to convert the entire world, in every aspect and level. Islamic missions should be explained with logic pattern and framework of Islamic thought as well. Of course this is a big job, requiring patience an ideologue, to make it happen.
Developing superiority
Superiority, as reflected in the teachings of the Quran, lies in the perfection spirirtual and intellectual person, which would manifest in morality and behavior, and attitudes of Islamic life. Spiritual intensity, in addition to individual behavior manifests Islami, also reflected in his perspective on the social aspects are important, such as power, materials and other earthly matters. There should be adequate intellectualization and that means requires us to dare to clash with the various discourses and developing ideas.
