Islam is truly a religion that rose from a barren desert and came to form a civilization that rules a major portion of earth even today. This book provides a historical perspective on the rise of this great religion and analyses the reason why muslims have become weak today. It counters the prevailing attitude that Islam is a spent force, that it has outlived its usefulness. The author persuasively argues for the eternal reality of Islam and that it is a program of life which is always dynamic and can never grow obsolete.

This thought-provoking tour de force throws new light on the motives, opportunities and impact of the Islamic and other civilizations, on the material welfare and spiritual progress of humanity.
