  IslamiCity.com - An Islamic renaissance
The Islamic Renaissance is a relatively new social phenomenon which is of immense importance to the future of the Muslim civilization, and which presumably has some serious implications for the whole world.
However, these movements are keeping Muslims alive to their spiritual, moral and social responsibilities and they are a deterrent to anti-Islamic forces trying desperately to secularize the existing Muslim societies in the name of modernization.

The Sanusi Movement in North Africa, The Wahabi Movement led by Mohammad Ibn Al-Wahab in Saudi Arabia, the Mahdi Movement in Sudan and the Midhat Pasha's Reform movement in Turkey facilitated the process of awakening among the Muslims.
The Educationist-reformist Movement led by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan in India and the Reformist-Activist Movement of Jamaluddin Afghani had a very significant impact on the process and became the facilitators of the Islamic movements of the 20th Century.

Islamic Fundamentalism has succeeded in Iran and in Sudan, and is attempting to be successful in Algeria and in Egypt, as well as in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jordan.

Islamic economics- the offspring of Islamic resurgence in the economic sphere, although it has a long way to go, is increasingly being recognised as a subject worthy of consideration especially as demonstrated by the vitality of Islamic banking and finance and its teaching even in western universities.
Islamic banking should based on the equity-participation model which does not have the certainty of a pre-determined rate of return (except in a few of the financial instruments such as murabaha, which is frowned upon as techniques which opens the back-door to interest).
Islamic accounting research presents unique problems of ontology, epistemology and methodology as it has to be defended in the western dominated globalised world where the ‘belief’ (see Chua, 1986 p604) system regarding the nature and sources of knowledge and the way knowledge is acquired is quite different from those of the Islamic civilisation.

To counter the ‘Jihadi’ movement of Sayyed Ahmad Shaheed, which was the biggest force against the Western imperialism and the ‘Sikha Shahi’, numerous mischievous plans were designed, including the planting of the naughty ‘Qadiani’ group.

Rosecruix RE:The Islamic Renaissance 10/8/2005 6:37:07 AM Alright, what I meant was the many movements that came to be, most of which were actually islamic or arabic applications of other's ideas.
I agree with Patriot that Pan-Arabism is less an Islamic movement than it is an Arab one (specifically an Egyptian idea--Qaddafi, Saddam and Assad just adapted their own models from Nasser).
I don't see any strong evidence of an Islamic renaissance as of yet, which is one of the big problems Islamic nations are facing at the moment--and the rest of the world right along with them.

Secondly, the movement for Islamic revival so vociferously launched in Muslim lands and later exported to the West have miserably failed.
The Reform Movement has not to reform Islam as such, rather, it has to purge the human, interpretative elements that have overshadowed the true colours of Islam.
