the course of history over the centuries. (For details,

Islam the Creator of the Modern Age
)
The scientific revolution, which was in actual fact a
by-product of the Islamic revolution, gave us
modem communications. The advent of this new
age made it possible for the first time in human
history for the propagation of Islam to be carried
out on a universal scale. According to a
hadith
a
time was to come when God’s words would enter
all the homes in the world.
(Musnad,
Ahmad) This
was indirectly, a prediction of the modem age of
communications.
One outcome of the modem scientific revolution is
that we have at our disposal a number of new
arguments in support of Islamic beliefs. Prior to this
revolution the
da'is
of Islam could resort only to
traditional arguments in support of the truth of
Islam. But today it has become possible to measure
up Islamic realities by the highest standards of
human knowledge and to establish its authenticity
by purely logical arguments.
In ancient times the study of religion could be done
only as something sacred and as a matter of dogma.
