Death of Civilizations and Life of Islamic Civilization

This world has produced great civilizations such as those of *Babylon, Assyria, India, China, Egypt, Greece and Rome*. Great ethical systems were evolved. Rules for a civilized and polite behaviour were set. Etiquettes and conventions were established for all kinds of human activities such as:



It took **centuries** to establish the principles of these ancient civilizations, yet they could not stand the challenge of time. Centuries old conventions crumbled in no time. All those great civilizations are now found only in history books.

2. Then in those of their dedicated disciples
3. Thus became the established way of life of the world of Islam
