And as a result, the world suffered a spiritual and moral decline. Between these two extremes, Islam presents a beautiful combination of reason and revelation, which ornaments with harmony, unity and philosophy. Applying discourse analysis method in this article to study concludes the religion and intellectual Debate, and sheds light on the balance and combination of reason and revelation in the light of Islamic teachings.

Freedom, equality, and equity are the basis of Islamic social dogma as perceived in the core sources of Islam. The debate of compatibility between Islam and democracy has taken many paradigms shifts in recent history. The concept of Khilafah in Islamic tradition and its implications in present circumstances is one of the hottest debates in academic and political circles of the Muslim perspective. This paper vividly confers this debate by analyzing the facts regarding contemporary perspectives of democracy and other concerned ones. This comparative approach may pave the path to describe and conclude that Islamic is compatible with democracy but with a clear stance on the revealed methodology. Key words: Khilafat e Jamhoor, Aristocracy. Political Islam, Conscious, Islamic activism

Primarily, the study focuses on holistic and theoretical view of political Islam with its perspectives, implications and prospects. The study also aims to analyze the basic theory and current strategies of Islamic movements which may be considered the vanguard of Islamic revolution. These movements have created a certain discourse of political activism that is one of the matters of hottest debate in the contemporary world. Discourse analysis method with its approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is going to be used and qualitative data collected from specific and relevant strata will be analyzed. The study argues that conspiracy theory is one of the key factors involved in offending political Islam and apparently, a valued segment of scholars concerned to the subject be...

This paper aims to elaborate on diverse views on the issue of growth in Islamic and Western perspectives. Islam in its nature and worldview believes in Devine wisdom and promotes the concept of success in this world and the world hereafter. Islamic injunctions regarding development and growth do not limit to this world only, so the whole scenario of Islamic civilization rounds the view of eternal happiness as a broader concept. On contrary, Western concepts are totally opposing Islamic doctrine. We are quite unable to find religious discourses in the Western scope of success and growth. This paper depicts that as a dominant civilization, Western values have been impacting the whole world but it is totally contradicting Islamic values. Applying the discourse analysis method this study concludes that Islam as a comprehensive religion presents solutions regarding all walks of life including social, ...
