About this ebook

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Religion, grade: A, National Islamic University (CSCRC), course: MPhil, language: English, abstract: I would like to discuss about historical continuity, global changes and symbolic connections. In the construction of modern Muslim identities there is a striking degree of historical structural continuity. In some cases, contemporary Islamic states and Islamic religious movements are simply the direct continuations of past ones. In the shaping of the modern Islamic world there have been two contradictory trends: the trend toward global integration, which favors universalistic Islam and the trend toward the consolidation of national states, which favors the particularization or localization of Islam.
