| | History & info - the Islamic calendar |
 | | As the year in the Islamic calendar is about 11 days shorter than the year in the Christian calendar, the Islamic years are slowly gaining in on the Christian years. | | | The 1st day of the 5th month of C.E. 20874 in the Gregorian calendar will also be (approximately) the 1st day of the 5th month of AH 20874 of the Islamic calendar. | | | Note that although only 2003-622=1381 years have passed in the Christian calendar, 1423 years have passed in the Islamic calendar, because its year is consistently shorter (by about 11 days) than the tropical year used by the Christian calendar. |

| | Atasoy: Islamic Revivalism and the Nation-State... |
| | The first example of the transnational Islamic institutions is the Islamic Conference that convened in Pakistan in 1976, which is also known as the International Shari'a Congress. | | | Islamic cooptation worked through the integration of religious courses and schools into formal secular education. | | | Once again, it must be noted that the current wave of Islamic revivalism cannot properly be seen as a traditionalist desire to return to a "golden age", nor can it be seen as a "fundamentalist" rejection of modernity. |

| | Islamic Art Indroduction |
| | Complex geometric designs, as well as intricate patterns of vegetal ornament (such as the arabesque), create the impression of unending repetition, which is believed by some to be an inducement to contemplate the infinite nature of God. | | | From the fourteenth century onward, especially in eastern Islamic lands, the arts of the book provide the best documentation of courtly patronage. | | | This preoccupation with beautiful writing extended to all arts—including secular manuscripts; inscriptions on palaces; and those applied to metalwork, pottery, stone, glass, wood, and textiles—and to non-Arabic-speaking peoples within the Islamic commonwealth whose languages—such as Persian, Turkish, and Urdu—were written in the Arabic script. |

| | Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society |
| | In a theocracy of the type that Islamic fundamentalists wish to establish, sovereignty belongs to god, but in a democracy sovereignty belongs to the people. | | | We therefore favor the firm separation of religion and state: without such a separation there can be no freedom from tyranny, and such a separation is the sine qua non for a secular state. | | | The Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society (ISIS) has been formed to promote the ideas of rationalism, secularism, democracy and human rights within Islamic society. |

| | Islamic scholar al-Sayyuti said: "The best explanation of fitrah is that it is the Sunnah (way) of all of the Prophets which is in agreement with (all of) the revealed Laws, indicating that it is a response to naturally created inclinations. | | | Literally means "succession, consecutive." Islamically refers to hadith which is narrated by such a large number of people that it is impossible (Allahu Alim) that they have invented a lie. | | | The most famous scholars of Fiqh in the history Muslims are the founders of the four schools of thought in Islam: Imam Malik, Imam Ash-Shafi'i, Imam Abu Hanifah, and Imam Ahmad. |

| | As is characteristic in Mediaeval Islamic converts, the Arabic alphabet is adopted to write the local language. | | | One result of this was gradual and incomplete Islamicization, i.e. | | | It took hold gradually against Hinduism and Buddhism, which had previously arrived by sea and by trade. |
