The Nation

By Walid Mahroum

In this book, we dive deep into the idea that shaped the heart of Islamic civilization: the One Ummah. That bond that brought people together under the umbrella of faith, not under the cloak of language, blood or race. We reconsider the path in which Islamic identity began to disintegrate, replacing imported national and sectarian identities, in a political and cultural context imposed by colonialism and adopted by unqualified local elites.

This work reveals how Western models, based on nationalism, ethnicity, and political pluralism, were essentially responses to Europe's internal crises, rather than valid prescriptions for a world based on a unified religious reference. It traces how these models, when imported into Muslim societies, contributed to the fragmentation of their unity and fueled conflicts between them.

The book is not just a historical critique, but a call for a radical revision of collective consciousness, and for the restoration of the nation's project with what is consciousness, mission, identity, and responsibility.
