Abstract

This article attempts to analyze the influence of Islamic civilization on the rise and progress of European-Christian (Western) civilization in the Middle Ages. The focus of this research is to trace the process of transferring knowledge (philosophy, science, technology, humanities, literature, medicine) from the Islamic world to European-Christian society through intellectual interaction in Andalusia (Spain), translation of scientific works of Islamic intellectuals, and through trade and the Crusades. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, where data are obtained from various academic literature sources and other scientific works. The results of the study show that Islamic civilization in Andalusia played a very decisive role in triggering intellectual development and European-Christian civilization which became the foundation for the Renaissance (Revival) in the West. Through a number of libraries and educational institutions in Andalusia and other Islamic centers, the process of translating books by Islamic scientists in Arabic into Latin took place by European-Christian students who brought them and spread them in their respective countries, thus giving birth to the spirit of the Renaissance in mainland Europe. This study concludes that Islamic civilization not only played a role as the guardian of the classical knowledge heritage of Greece, Rome, Persia, India, but also as a red carpet for European civilization, from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance (Revival).

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the existence and development of Islam in the Ottoman Empire's territory, with a focus on its inception, growth, and evolution. The aspects under scrutiny encompass the political system, governance, state structure, intellectual progress, religious studies, and culture. This studly employs a historical approach to depict how Islam played a pivotal role in shaping and transforming the Ottoman Empire, from its inception to its zenith. In its early stages, Islam acted as a unifying force for diverse ethnic groups and tribes within the region. The political and governance systems, rooted in Islamic principles, contributed to the empire's stability and continuity. As the empire evolved, it emerged as a center of intellect and religion. Intellectual progress is reflected in the establishment of madrasas and other educational institutions that advanced knowledge and Islamic thought, fostering an environment conducive to the growth of religious studies, culture, and the arts. Nonetheless, the empire's development was marked by dynamics that influenced its state structure and political framework. The Ottoman Empire faced challenges from internal and external factors, impacting its political and economic stability. These challenges prompted changes in governance and administrative systems. In conclusion, Islam played a significant role in shaping and guiding the trajectory of the Ottoman Empire. The Islamic-based political and governance systems, coupled with intellectual development, religious studies, and cultural advancements, made substantial contributions to sustaining the empire's existence and growth. However, changes in internal and external dynamics also shaped the evolution of the state and its governance. This study provides profound insights into Islam's role in the history of this region and its repercussions on social, political, and cultural transformations
