Islamic resurgence

Islamic resurgence refers to a revival of interest and commitment to Islamic beliefs, values, and practices, particularly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This movement emerged in response to modernization, globalization, and perceived moral and social decay. Many Muslims sought to assert their identity and advocate for Islamic principles in political, social, and economic life. This resurgence often includes the rise of Islamic political movements, increased religious observance, and a desire for social justice, leading to both positive community initiatives and, in some cases, conflict with secular governments or differing interpretations of Islam.
