MOst impOrtant aspect is the brainy movement to direct and pOtray the religiOus and ideOlOgical identity Of Muslim Ummah, This century can rightly be termed the dentury Of Islamic revival; pOlitical and ecOnOmic aspects being mere parts Of it. The plight Of Muslims climaxed at the clOsed Of 20th century and sO did the revival. In fact, it was the lOwliness Of Muslim Ummah, which tOuched many Muslim thinkers' minds and souls whO attended to the urgent called and engaged themselves tO find the cause Of Muslim downfall and tO identify measures fOr revival.
The enemies Of Islam assumed that by pOlitically dOminating the Muslims; dividing them intO small states, nationalities, educatiOnal and agricultural agendas. Muslim Ummah can be neutralized fOr ever. But the ultimate prudence Of God Almighty was different. The sense of extreme deprivatiOn played the rOle Of activatOr.

The Muslim schOlars were successful in highlighting Western pOwers' strOng pOints which had such a damaging impact On culture,ideOlOgy and mOral values Of Muslim sOciety. Principles Of Islam fOr self-reliance and develOpment were reincarnated. And histOry prOved the dictum that Islam has an in built natural flexibility which helps it tO react with full fOrce against OpressiOn.
