The contribution of Islam towards Indian culture

By Salam M Abdul

At the very outset, I must make it clear about a very needed and practical aspect of this thesis apart from the conceptual and theoretical aspect that I am going to present. Islam had been existing in India per-haps from the very beginning of the religion Islam itself. Islam had long become an Indian religion through its long days of existence in India. This is also true of Christianity as well; the main two religions that came to India from outside.

Let me make this point little more explicit. Every religion may be said to have two aspects; the cultural aspect and the aspect of faith in-volving rituals, theology and philosophy. When religion travels from one society to another society, it definitely carries its faith, rituals, the-ology and philosophy, but shuns the cultural aspects. The people in the new place while accepting the faith; do not accept the culture of an unknown land which is not possible also. Religion in the new society amalgamates the local culture; and may even modify rituals, theology and philosophy according to the new stage settings. But the faith often remains as it is, letting evolutions in all other aspects. And this is what makes Islam in India unique and Indian.
