"Islamism: Tracing the Rich Tapestry of Islamic History and Culture" Delve into the captivating world of Islamism, a term often misunderstood but deeply rooted in history and culture. The Koran, written in Arabic during the 14th century, stands as a testament to the sacred scriptures that guide Muslims worldwide. Miniature paintings intricately depict scenes from Islamic life, offering glimpses into its vibrant heritage. Travel back in time to witness an Arabian flat astrolabe from 10th-century Italy, showcasing the scientific advancements made by Muslim scholars. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to astronomy and navigation. The journey wouldn't be complete without exploring the life of Prophet Muhammad (570-632) and his companion Abu Bakr during their migration to Medina in 622. This pivotal event known as Hijra marked a turning point for Islam's growth amidst persecution faced in Mecca. An engraving portraying Prophet Muhammad offers insight into how he is revered by followers even centuries later. His teachings continue to shape millions of lives around the globe. Venturing further across borders, we encounter a Persian astrolabe from 17th-century France—a testament to how knowledge transcends geographical boundaries throughout history. From Sayq's breathtaking landscapes nestled within Oman's Al Hajar Mountains to portraits depicting Osama bin Laden—an infamous figure linked with tragic events like September 11—we confront both beauty and darkness entwined within this complex ideology. A gilded wooden box showcases an intense battle between kings and Saracen chiefs—symbolizing clashes between different cultures throughout time. Lithographs depicting Louis VII fighting against Saracens during the Second Crusade remind us of historical conflicts shaped by religious differences. Interestingly, even peddlers Baul from Bengal have woven tales about September 11 attacks—highlighting how these events reverberated globally beyond political boundaries or cultural affiliations.
