Abstract: Abstract Islam is the youngest of the great world religions, with a history extending back over 1400 years, most of which has been chronicled in detail. The early spread of Islam was accompanied by military, political and economic success, and submission by Muslims to Allah seemed to bring earthly as well as spiritual rewards. There did not appear to be any conflict between this most modern of religions and material prosperity. Furthermore, the spread of the new religion was accompanied by remarkable scientific advances, including the development of the modern system of numbering, and a cultural and artistic development that demonstrated that Islam had resulted in the emergence of a truly great civilisation.
