military and economic success
Jan 26th, 2009 at 4:46pm
 
To what extent has military and economic success been seen as a validation of Islam?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Muhammed was a successful military leader. Did he attribute his military success to his fiath in God? Did later leaders claim their military success as validation for the Islamic faith? Did Muhammed make any prognostications about future military success?

Some battles were considered to have been won by divine intervention, yes.

Can't think of any specific example, no. Although the example I'll mention when answering the next question obviously had quite divine implications.

Yes.
