Globalization and its impingement on muslim societies: a soci0logical perspective

Globalization appears to be a blessing for the societies a path to the innovative outline for growth and development. There have been swift and vivid economic, political, social and technological changes on a worldwide social transcending borders and accelerating people’s ability to communicate and to trade across continents, this inclusive revolution has been described as “globalization”. The contemporary study is an attempt to analyze the impingement of globalization on Islam, as the process of globalization has conveyed enormous gains in prosperity. But yet there is another scene, on the one hand globalization is promoting uniformization and homogenization and on the other there is increasing demand for autonomy and identity This paper proposes a transformational analysis of contemporary globalization and identifies the increasing challenge of globalization on Islam, as the process of globalization intensified the worldwide social relations, which links distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shared by events occurring many miles away and vice versa. This is a dialectical progression because such local happenings may move in an obverse direction from the very distinctive relations that shape them. Local transformation is as much a part of globalization as the lateral extension of social connections across time and space.
