Islam as a Global Faith
The Islamic faith is inherently and by design Universalist. Islam considers itself heir to a long line of divine revelations that began with Adam. The Quran says that God has sent down prophets to all regions of the world at different points of time, who spoke to their respective people in their own language and invited them to the path of righteousness. It also says that Muhammad (SAAW) was as a divine messenger to all mankind and not just to the Arabs. Muslims are required to believe not only in the prophecy of Muhammad but also in that of all another divine messenger. Likewise, they are required to believe not only in the Qur’an as a divinely revealed scripture but also in all other sacred scripture revealed to mankind at different points of time. The universality and global character of the Islamic faith are reflected in the role of Ka’ba in Mecca as the centre of global Islamic pilgrimage. It is no exaggeration to say that the Ka’ba is the only global centre of pilgrimage which has witnessed an uninterrupted, around the clock flow of millions of devotees from across the world. The worldwide Muslim community or ummah is a truly global community of believers which includes people from all nationalities and from a wide variety of ethnic, cultural and linguistic background, who are from bound together by commonly held beliefs, moral values, rituals and traditions. Across the Islamic world, Arabic continues to be used as a global language of Islamic prayers and liturgy.
