More DescriptionThe outlook of a school of thought regarding society and history and its specific approach to them, plays a decisive role in its ideology. From this point of view, it is essential, in the context of Islamic world outlook, to throw light on the Islamic approach to society and history.It is evident that Islam is neither a theory of society nor a philosophy of history.
