The contemporary Islamic resurgence and spirit of pan-lslamism that
are being experienced today throughout the world did not come about
overnight. They are the results of two counterforces operative in any give
period of time. On the one hand, there was the deconstructionist force, in

of Muslims throughout the world.

other da'wah movements as the Call of Islam. Past workers and present
movements have been religiopolitical positivists and activists. From the
outset, Muslims needed to reconstruct Islamic education and maintain the
momentum of revivalism and resurgence activities.

centuries to further trade with the East Indies. These companies were

including legislation, the issuance of currency, the negotiation of treaties,
the waging of war, and the administration of justice ...
