So Allah raised prophets as bearers of good news ans as warners, and He revealed with them the Book with truth, that it might judge between people concerning that in which they differed…" Holy Qur'an (Baqara 2: 213) Primitive life embarked on development as a result of the evolution of man's faculty of thought, the power of his intellect and the improvement in scientific experiments.
Human society, thus, took a more complex form; power and state came into existence, law and order emerged, then, followed the birth of philosophy, thought and theoretical concepts. Ever since the descent of revelation to this earth, mankind had two parties; one following the course of the Prophets and the other that of the tyrants. The latter built their civilization upon apostasy and materialistic understanding.
This course and chart sometimes rises and at other times falls, reaching its peak with Greek thought and Roman rule. By this time, it had definite philosophical, canonical and social forms. It was under this Greco-Roman civilization that `Jahiliyya' thought took its theory and assumed more complex forms. At the same time, divine thought pursued its work of reform, inviting mankind to believe in Allah and building man's life on the foundations of knowledge, faith and moral values.
For all the period of human existence, there were Messengers and Prophets with their messages. "…and there is not a people but a warner has gone among them." Holy Qur'an (Fatir 35: 24) The struggle between materialistic and Divine thoughts continued throughout the ages and reached its peak on the advent of Islam and the Prophethood of the saviour of mankind, Muhammad (s.a.w.). The Islamic message triumphed on the plane of thought, as well as, in the arena of force and battle.
Consequently, a society, a state and a civilization were brought into existence based on the principles of Islam, the power of which depended on the course of guidance and man's wholesome achievements. This Divine Message provided humanity with a complete ideological project for the leadership of human society. This project was able to vanquish all the theories, ideologies and philosophies of atheistic materialism which are opposed to the call to belief and moral values.
Islamic culture and civilization had, in a day, flourished , while different branches of natural and social sciences thrived over many centuries.
