Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to penetrate into the merits of Islamic civilization in promoting the progress of humanity and the causes of the decline and withdrawal of Islamic civilization from the global cultural and political scene. The basic thought is that neither the meek nor aggressive civilization has ever ruled the world, but the world has always been ruled by cooperative civilizations, of which the Islamic civilization can serve as a proven historical example of civilizational cooperation. Therefore, the author claims that the recovery of Islamic civilization is neither in isolation nor in assimilation, but in the affirmation of civilizational values, which are common to all mankind.
