Summary/Abstract: In the introduction to the article the author relates about the prospects of Islamic civilisation in our contemporary epoch. He discusses the nature of that civilisation and compares it to other, “mortal” civilisations. He further deals with relation between Islam / Ummah and the governments as heated issue; he discusses the failure of certain parts of Ummah to preserve the five global empires and in most recent times, after the so called Arab spring, the failure to preserve even statehood. The author also discusses the reasons why political movements inspired by Islam most commonly end up in mutual bloodshed. He specially focuses upon so called Lewis’s doctrine and Edward Said’s answer to this dangerous doctrine which in theory, as well as in practise strives to prevent the revival of Islamic civilisation in the recent times.
