THE MANIFESTATION OF RELIGION

~ 31 ~ the course of history over the centuries. (For details, refer Islam the Creator of the Modern Age) The scientific revolution, which was in actual fact a by-product of the Islamic revolution, gave us modem communications. The advent of this new age made it possible for the first time in human history for the propagation of Islam to be carried out on a universal scale. According to a hadith a time was to come when God’s words would enter all the homes in the world. (Musnad, Ahmad) This was indirectly, a prediction of the modem age of communications. One outcome of the modem scientific revolution is that we have at our disposal a number of new arguments in support of Islamic beliefs. Prior to this revolution the da'is of Islam could resort only to traditional arguments in support of the truth of Islam. But today it has become possible to measure up Islamic realities by the highest standards of human knowledge and to establish its authenticity by purely logical arguments. In ancient times the study of religion could be done only as something sacred and as a matter of dogma.
