_____________A Reformation is to Exhume A Civilization? Prt.6.1
A brain is going through thousands of pages of history, page by page, word by word, date by date. A Civilization has fallen, Another has risen, There's no a specific date or a sudden moment to determine one's rise and another's fall, not like a heart attack nor a blink of an eye. A civilization is a term hard to define, easy to be seen. A Civilization is defined as A complex society, with distinctive Culture, Political System, Agricultural developments, Science, Art and literatures. There's a very sad fact tattooed in History's Books. It's not easy to realize such a fact, nor read behind the lines, shapes, or colors of History. It's almost impossible to accept if one is so proud of his past, if someone is just stuck in a moment of glory, which keeps repeating itself throughout history within one's society...
A reader might ask:
- What is this sad fact?
- Why is it hard to accept?
- Why does it keep repeating in different Civilization?
- When, How, Where, Yes and No - sigh - Wait Dear Readers and read the rest.
Archeological sites,
Crumbled castles,
Fallen towers,
Exhuming mummies,
Mysterious pyramids,
These are all signs of ancient civilizations. From far East to far West, and stopping at Middle East; We only witness fingerprints of ancient Civilizations. One might wonder "What had happened?", "Why this fell and why that rised". This writing is not to answer this question, but to rise another question "What a sad fact is hidden in History that keeps a civilization to remain as History?".
Throughout History, From The first 9000Bc Mesopotamian Civilization, Greek Civilization, Egyptian Civilization, Latin American Civilizations, Indian Civilization, Far Eastern Civilization, Islamic Civilization to Today's 21st Century The Western Civilization. There's a sad fact, when you are reading this chain of civilizations written in two lines - Wherein they all existed within 11,000 years, and today I listed them all within less than a second of time in two lines.
History has proven that there's no Civilization ever re-existed and came again to power, to top The world once again.There has never been a Civilization, which came from the cemetery of Civilizations to the glory of Earth. For Example, Egyptian Civilization with its ancient Pharoah's religion, science, culture and more never came back after its fall. It only came back as pieces in museums for audiences from all over the world to wonder about and see its glorious past. The same goes for other Civilizations from Aztecan, Incans, Mayans, Indian, Chinese, and Islamic Civilizations.
The Questions remain unanswered:
-Why, when a civilization fell it never comes back?
-Is there an exception that will break the chain of dead civilizations? And make them alive again for some reasons?
Back to Reality, to the presence, to the 21st Century. A view from deep space onto Planet Earth, Let's microscope it down into details to the Muslim or Arab World and the West, the Clash of Civilizations some might call it or as what Samuel P. Huntington named it. Which I believe it's an ideological conflict, that always exists throughout History, whether it was based on Materialism or Common Interests they are still originated from an ideology. Hereby we see The Muslim or Arab World conflicts with the Western Civilization, which is on the top.
Arabs and Muslims in general find it hard to accept that their Civilization has fallen. They try hard to stand up again, but it keeps falling even deeper until it's almost reached the ground zero of Dark Ages. It's hard for them to accept this because their faith inspires them to rise again, and that they can't be under control of other nations, they should be the upper hand.
Historically speaking, Islamic Civilization was very unique that it didn't really spread for materialistic means or interests, but it did spread fast just to deliver and spread the message of their prophet. Unlike the Roman empire or Greek or whatever there was, they mostly spread to enforce one's domination over another, or to gain more power, which's driven by greediness. Islamic Civilization can be called Empire of Faith as it was named by a Discovery channel documentary.
Nowadays, Muslims are confused and mixed between Nationalist Thinking and Islamic Thinking. They can't unite themselves nor identify the rightful Islamic group to follow. They are nationalist when it comes to History and their fallen Islamic Civilization. They are so daydreamers and refuse strongly to accept the presence which is so sad and dark to them. They refuse to accept the idea, that USA is the superpower nation. Their refusal didn't come from vain, but from their moment of glory that's stuck between past and present. They are living in The presence by trying to apply their Historical Thinking, that doesn't really have the right platform to grow on. It's like trying to grow a seed on a poor soil.
Since The Islamic civilization was so unique than the previous ones, and it's the last one, that fell, "How possible is it to come back?" with the sad fact, that There has been no Civilization with its same old political-social system has come back to power. The possibility is so low if the situation keeps going the same way. However, the only way to exhume a Civilization is to reform it. Reformation is to exhume a Civilization. This might be a solution, but first before explaining the solution is better to answer the question that gives this solution which is "Why, when a Civilization fell never comes back?"...
A mysterious question to be answered, like a religious question relating to God's existence, or a question of Destiny and Fate. A Civilization falls not only because a climate change, or wars, or environmental disasters as Most Theories on The Fall of Civilizations suggest - and they are based on Materialistic reasons. However, to my understanding, and realization, A fall of one is caused by a lack of reformations within this complex society called Civilization. The core Of the Islamic system is constant but its surface is flexible and reformable. When Muslims failed to reform their Systems, slowly They also failed to adopt to new environments, to new rising nations, to new economical industerial scientific changes. The changes the prophet applied on his nation were applied slowly, and those same changes were also faded slowly leading The Islamic Civilization unconscienciously fell to the zero ground of Dark ages. And, Today they are trying to come back by jumping 10 steps at once not climbing step by step higher.
Unfortunately, I remain speechless, My Brain stopped functioning at the last page of History which is Today, right now. I didn't give a full explanation but only a clue, I didn't draw the whole picture but only a nose of a character in my play. I am unable to answer the questions I have asked to myself, but instead I only left a blueprint that might pave a road to new answers of the same questions, questions of ancient Civilization, A reformation is to exhume one and to bury another. A Question that might lead to something unusual in history to witness.
"History repeats itself,
but
It never repeats Civilizations,
Once One dies,
stays dead,
Once Another is alive,
waits its death..." --[x]
