The Western Globalization and the Islam's Universal Reign

More than a decade after the emergence and growth of globalization or globalizing, still there are many ambigui¬ties posing a number of questions and controversies such as: what is globalization? When and where was it born? Is there any tendency towards global¬ization in Islam? Can we establish Islamic global¬ization? What are the bases, properties, structures and instruments of an Islamic globalization? Of course attempts have been made to answer some of these ques¬tions, but the variety and the multiplicity of these answers have given rise to a number of new ambiguities and questions. Therefore, any attempt to sum up these answers would help clarify the aforesaid ambiguities. And this is what this paper intends to do.To find a satisfactory answer the following assump¬tions worth consideration:The west is the birthplace of the term globalization, but Islam is the birthplace of the phenomenon.It is only Islam that possesses the due capability, characteristic, structure and instrument for managing globalization. To verify the validly and credibility of above assumptions, following issues are discussed in this paper:Definition of globalization and the explanation of its background and history,Islam’s view on globalization; the potentials, capabilities, mechanisms and characteristics of an Islamic globalization.
