Abstract

This article aims at an understanding of Islam as one of the forces exercising positive influence on the conduct of modern Muslims, and as a social force considered from a sociological point of view. The first task for Muslims in the present day may be considered to be that of fundamental reform, that is, there must be a switch from negative to positive attitudes both within the individual and within society as a whole. This must be accompanied by the firm establishment of a strong political base under the leadership of which progress may be made towards achieving a modern economic development. Accordingly this article examines the historic‐social conditions necessary for a fundamental reform of Islamic institutions and the Muslim's way of thinking, and into the historical development of political and social values in Muslim society.
