Yesterday, one Christian Channel, Tanparagi, make a content that said Islam became factor of retrogression. And, according this channel, state that doing Islamic Sharia, otomatically became  backward state. Is true like this? Ok, at this article, we will answer Tanparagi s statement that Islam, became factor of retrogression and Muslims, must leave Islam for achieve their forward. Is true like this? Lets discuss it.

 First, Tanparagi claim, that Islamic Golden Age, that became summit from Islamic Civilization at Abbasid Dynasty Era, is only golden age for Arabs, and not golden age at Islam. It is, claim that not have basic. The fact, at Abbasid Dynasty Era, Islamic Scientist, not only came from Arabs.  As example, Muslim Scholar who became biggest doctor at his age,  , Ar-Razi ( life 865-925 AD) is came from Teheran, Iran and Avicenna ( Ibn Sina), Muslim Philosopers and doctor  who life from 980-1037 AD, came from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, that located at Central Asia. And, Muslim Philosopher and Political Scientist, Ar-Razi, came from Central Asia and he doesnt Arabian, but Turkish. 

Muslim Philosopher and Historian, Ibn Khaldun at his masterpiece, Mukaddimah, write  that many Muslim Scientist, originated from Non Arab Nations. Though, according Ibn Khaldun, many figures at Arabic Literature, when Islamic Golden Age, exactly Non-Arab Peoples. Such as Sibawaih, Al-Farisi, and Az-Zajjaj. 

And, second, Tanparagi claim state that practicing Islamic Sharia, will became backward state. It is fake and unbasic statement. Is all state that practicing Islamic Sharia became backward state? The fact is NO. History recorded, Zengid Sultan, Nur Addin, build Islamic  Court at his terrotories, and he build this because many case  violation from his officer. And, after he build this court, violation  reduced from his territories. Nur Addin, with Islamic Sharia, also reduce poority at his territories. He make Wakaf system that the benefit from this system, given to poormens, widows, orphans, and other.  This Wakaf originated from Jami Mosque. 

Islamic Culture, at his golden age, more forward from European Culture. Umayyad Capital at Cordova, Spain, when goverment era of Abd Rahman An-Nashir who ruled from 912 AD have 300  baths and 700 mosques. According Muslim Historian Philip.K.Hitti, Umayyad Palace at Cordova at this time, Palace Of Al-Zahra, is best palace at Europe at this age. 10 TH Century Abbasid Ambassador, Ahmad Ibn Fadhlan, who visit Europe at this time, exactly visit Viking Territories at Swedia, Norwegia, and Denmark recorded that Vikings at this age, are disgusting people because they dont bath and wash their face with dirty water, and according Ibn Fadhlan, wash their face with water mix saliva! And Islamic Sharia, teach clean because many Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam s hadiths ( oral teaching) that ask Muslims keep their clean. Now, it is Islamic Sharia became factor from retrogression?

And, more badly, Tanparagi make statement without write what refrences that he use for make his narration. It is clearly, not scientific and his narration cannot trusted scientificly. Read history from credible sources, because history, is precious lesson for future.
