Transfer Of Power:
If we surf the pages of history we find out that the power of the whole world is always confined to one region / pole only. If we see today, the power lies with the west. In the same way, the power lied in the Middle East in the seventh and eighth century. Another interesting thing is that the power never stays for ever. The power keeps on transferring from one civilization to the other. The rise of one civilization is the fall of other civilization.
This is what exactly happened with the Arab civilization. It became the victim of a new civilization from the west. The power of Muslims is the Quran. This is why learn and teach Quran are too important phenomenon in Islam. Muslims kept the power in their hands for long time. However, they lost their power because of their distance from Quran. Muslim countries have always been able to revitalize the role of Islam and power in the world.
Islam And Westernization:
Having said that, the impact of westernization cannot be ignored today. Westernization is a new concept which has challenged Islam. Globalization brought with it numerous advantages and disadvantages as well. The biggest disadvantage of globalization-turned-westernization is that it created a bi-polar dichotomy and with it, it separated the west from the whole world. However the globalization impacts were severe on Islam, as compared to the rest. Muslims however, need to act wisely in reaction to this entire created dichotomy. There is no better way to react, than reforming yourself according to the teachings of Islam. Learn Quran and teach Quran, if you want to survive out of the current situation.
