stages; they may however face difficulties and decline, compelling
their scholars to search for ideal ways of renewal and revival. It is
possible for the historian to discover the different factors
influencing the nations’ revival and civilizational renewal or even
their decline. And perhaps divinely-based civilizational changing
construct constitutes the objective conception leading to the
foundation of global human civilization aiming at people’s welfare
and achievement of various hopes and ambitions.
