Abstract

What is said about the "world order" today is more about the political order and the order in the relations between the nations and the governments than the comprehensive order of civilization and the cultural order of the world. What Marshall Hodgson has sought in the book "Miracle of Islam" is to prove the order of Muslim civilization based on human-religious principles and with a moral and spiritual approach. The importance of Hodgson's idea is that he seeks to prove the effective role of religion as a spiritual matter for the connection between civilizational elements. The question that Hodgson seeks to answer is how religion and ethics can be a factor in the stability of the civilizational order. From Marshall Hodgson's point of view, the civilizational order of Islamic civilization started from religion as a divine and moral thing and has been extended until modern times based on human and moral standards. Hodgson pays attention to the humanistic methodology that the principles of civilization must be established based on the historical awareness of man, in which ethics and religion are the most important elements, and the goal of the moral order of civilization is to achieve world peace.
