GLOBALIZATION AND RELIGION: ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

Globalization has a religious dimension. Though globalization has many facets, this paper empirically examines how cultural differences have changed religious beliefs and traditions within religious practices. The cultural, political, economic, and technological influences on the globalization of religion can be understood by identifying and acceptance of diverse religious beliefs and cultural differences. The diffusion of population and the effects of globalization on religion have resulted in cultural responses of Muslims to the transformations, contradictions and challenges confronting Islam from globalization.
