Abstract

Western imperialism in the Islamic world is a pivotal chapter in the study of Islamic Civilization History, demonstrating how the dominance of European colonial powers transformed the political, economic, social, and cultural landscape of the Islamic world. This phenomenon intensified in the 18th century, coinciding with the decline of Islamic powers such as the Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire, and Safavid Dynasty, alongside the rising influence of European nations like Britain, France, and the Netherlands. This imperialism was not only executed through military expansion but also through economic infiltration, manipulative diplomacy, and the dissemination of modernity ideologies that often disrupted traditional Islamic order. Its impact was far-reaching, encompassing political disintegration due to colonial divisions, the exploitation of natural resources that drained the Islamic world's wealth, and the marginalization of Islamic culture and religion under the narrative of Western superiority. Colonial-introduced education systems, laws, and administration often displaced traditional Islamic values, creating identity conflicts among Muslims. However, amidst this dominance, various forms of resistance emerged, both physically through jihad and nationalist movements, and intellectually through Islamic reform spearheaded by figures such as Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, and Rashid Rida. This study seeks to explain how Western imperialism influenced the historical trajectory of Islamic civilization, both in colonial and post-colonial contexts. This analysis encompasses critical aspects such as colonial strategies, Islamic world responses, and long-term impacts that are still felt in the modern era. With a historical-critical approach, this abstract aims to provide a profound perspective on how Western imperialism not only posed a challenge to the Islamic world but also acted as a catalyst for the resurgence of Islamic identity and civilization amidst globalization.

Abstract

Truth is an eternal question for humans in every era. People never finish arguing about it. The basis of truth is that which exists or exists. Truth is only possible if something exists. Philosophy positions itself as a human effort to search for truth. Because one of the meanings of philosophy itself is love of truth. Truth is very important, but the question of truth is very relative, because what may be true today may not necessarily be true tomorrow. The truth is outside of humans, humans just have to search and find it. Therefore truth is determined by external factors, not internal. Thus making truth a target object that is always interesting in the world of philosophy.
