Islam in Baltistan

Shah-e-Hamdan whom we hold in great esteem as a great mystic of the Muslim world and messenger of peace, played a pivotal role in bringing a revolutionary change and transformation in Baltistan. The mystic came to Baltistan at a time when there was not a single Muslim in Baltistan. All the people of this region were the followers of buddisum. Shah-e-Hamdan is the first Islamic preacher who for the first time came to Baltistan and brought out a gigantic civilizational transformation in this unexplored and inaccessible part of the world by that time. There was no mean of conveyance available to travel to the sky raising mountains and difficult terrains when Shah-e-Hamdan appeared to Baltistan to propagate the light of Islam. Details of the missionary activities of Mir Syed Ali Hamdani in Baltistan can be traced in "Zad ul Jinnan" the oldest history book on Baltistan written by Akhon Sultan Ali, a local poet historian of 12th century A.H. narrating the arrival of Shah-e- Hamdan, he writes in the book ( of Mir Najum Saqib) the details of shah ( Hamdan) and king of Tibet are given, according to which Shah-e- Hamdan came to Baltistan in the reign of Mooqeem Khan, the local ruler, in the year of Nihang ( the year of snake) in the seven century AH the great saint appeared in Khasmir and Tibet (Now Baltistan).

Akhon Sultan Ali attributes the visit of Shah-e- Hamdan as a miracle. Ali the second (Shah-e- Hamdan) had no means of convenience to travel through the difficult terrains and sky raising mountainous area. As Hazart Ali ( AS) used to ride on Duldul ( Ali's Horse) and could perform miracles in battles just like that Ali the second (Shah-e- Hamdan) came hear easily and gracefully which is a vivid miracle. He came with all the miracles in the land of Tibet. The fame of his miracles in Tibet as bright as sun light.
Due to his benevolent self, untiring efforts, unshakeable

    Shah Ismail, as a twelve-year-old boy, left the swamps of Gilan near the Caspian Sea, where he had hidden from the enemies of his family for five years, which to whom he sought revenge. Two years later, he entered Tabriz as a leader of an army and proclaimed himself as the shah. Now bearing the title of Shah Ismail, he proclaimed that the official religion of his realm would be Twelver Shiism, and he proceeded to impose it, by force when necessary, on the former Sunni population.

    Throughout chapter ten and eleven, one learns about the differences in manuscript writing. Likewise, one also becomes illuminated to the fact that various cultures capture art, history, and religion quite differently. More to the point, certain values hold a higher regard than others when comparing the different cultures. In chapter ten “The Islamic World,” one learns about the style, medium and reason for which the Koran was created. The Koran was a sacred book created which captured the word of Allah written in Arabic. During the creating of the Koran, Muslim scribes diligently practiced the art of decorative writing formally known as Calligraphy; however, they used an older style of calligraphy called Kufic.

    The Islamic Empire undertook powerful and meaningful movements across North Africa and into Hispania, while being able to rapidly expand their hold on territory and the progressive installment of Islam in these territories. During the early eighth century the Islamic Caliphate made several successful invasions into Europe, but could not make any meaningful impositions on the European people and European society. The failures of Islamic leadership to cultivate and expand the Islamic religion in Europe led to a Christian Europe, and not an Islamic one. The leaders, following the rise of the Islamic Empire in the fourth century, failed to superimpose Islamic, culture, beliefs, traditions, politics and economic structures into European territories because of inconsistent political and military campaigns.…
