Islamic Civilization ２ ( Islam cosmopolitan progress)

Islam spreads in Southeast Asia through the prosperous trade in Fatima, Ayyubid Sultanate, and Mamluk Sultanate which made Cairo the base. Moslemization of the direction of India also progressed including Thurman simultaneously. It seems that this shows cosmopolitan Islam character. Cosmopolitan means the thought and philosophy in which people believes them  even if who will become a rule class. It seems that the universal essence will be in the point which was the civilization centering on the network of a simple religion and trade as the mosque and the market had stood. Although that the Arab race marched quickly has that the army corps of Arab was also sturdy, it may excel in utilizing and using the network of information.

 

Although the value in Islamic civilization had very strong influence, compared with India, Islamic civilization was cosmopolitan. For this reason, the character which allowed  change or innovation had the young vitality which accepted fusion rather at the beginning. It was because Sassanids Persia and the Byzantine Empire were farther  developed than an Arab race when said from a viewpoint of material civilization. Arrangement of the Koran, Hadith (Muhammad's memoir), etc. was advanced and the legitimacy of their political power was improved in the Umayyad Caliphate or a life at large was interpreted in Islam in the time of the Abbaid Caliphate, and get stiff. Apart from it, it was also the time when Mumluk, Sufi, and a merchant gained power.

 

It was rise of new influence and was the atmosphere similar to the Buddhism birth previous night of India. In Islamic civilization, not like birth of a new religion but like the appearance of the Shia and Sufi, the large frame did not break but religion carried out new change. Although the new influence (Sufi's bearer) which consisted of small tradesmen was these bearers, it seems whether since Islam was the small tradesman's religion from the first, it had the possibility of development as a stoic religion. there was the union "Mumluk (Turk slave soldier), a large merchant, and Sunni Muslims" at the center of the network in the Islamic civilization area, to it -- social structure power: -- it was the 3rd principle (principle of community development).

 

Persia Islamic civilization (the Iran Isram civilization) developed in Iran, became a citadel of the Shia and developed into Safaviddynasty. And India was located in the east. If it was Persia Islam *, the India civilization has also still cooperated, but in Aurangzeb's (Great Mogul) rigid Sunni Muslims , India was not able to get used at all. The Mongolia Empire which has developed on the basis of "a network of information and commerce" merely appeared suddenly in the meantime. Although a sect of the Mongolia Empire who ruined the Abbaid Caliphate became Il Khan, Islam was easily taken in after cataclysmic collapse. Kipchak Khan was also the same and so was Chaghatai Khan before the Timur empire at this point. Although semu of the Western Regions were appointed to a position of a trust for the "yuan" of China, as for the China civilization with a strong local color, Islam did not spread truly. Even if anybody was in the center of social structure, Islam functioned effectively . Islam was cosmopolitan.

 

 

Although the view which exists at the center affirms God, to God, it corresponds very briefly and it seems eternal prosperity was built focusing on the fighter, the merchant, and the critic supporting a religion norm.

 

* Prime-minister Bajram Hearn of the Shia educated and assisted the young Akbar (emperor of Mughal). 

 

This was marked contrast as compared with the medieval times of the Europe civilization. In Europe, it consisted of a fighter, a farmer, and a prayer, and the difference between a merchant and a farmer was because Islam had grasped naval supremacy. Probably, the difference between Islam and Europe was related to that the merchant has been gradually born from the farmer in Europe, that the fighter got interested in trade, a farmer, a merchant, and a fighter referring to reality, and they have come to have a question in the critic supporting a norm. That is, the merchant who was one of the main influence from the beginning of Islamic civilization might be that the point which was a parasitic existence was the difference from the Europe civilization. This may be a problem which hangs around Islamic civilization.
