The history of the Parsis can be traced back to ancient Persia where Zoroastrianism evolved as one of the oldest monotheistic religions worldwide.

To its followers, Islam presents contemporary challenges that need thorough insight and interaction with the present world. The Muslim community is confronted by a range of arguments and dilemmas as it tries to make sense of modernity, secularism, religious pluralism, or social justice. This paper will therefore comprehensively examine these issues to understand how they affect the Islamic faith, identity, and practice.

Modernity and Tradition:Currently, there is one major dilemma facing Islam; it is the ongoing tussle between tradition and modernity. As societies swiftly change because of technology improvements, globalization effects, and shifting cultural considerations; Muslims are faced with the question of how best they can incorporate Islamic teachings into their lives while at the same time meeting the needs of a changing world. Some people are advocating for a progressive interpretation of Islamic principles that takes into account the reality of modern times whereas others argue for the preservation of traditional values. Consequently, we see this tension manifesting in various aspects which include gender roles in society, family dynamics, and approaches to governance and law.

इस्लाम का उदय सातवीं सदी में अरब प्रायद्वीप में हुआ। इसके अन्तिम नबी हजरत मुहम्मद सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम का जन्म 570 ईस्वी में मक्का में हुआ था। लगभग 613 इस्वी के आसपास हजरत मुहम्मद साहब ने लोगों को अपने ज्ञान का उपदेशा देना आरंभ किया था। इसी घटना का इस्लाम का आरंभ जाता है। हँलांकि इस समय तक इसको एक नए धर्म के रूप में नहीं देखा गया था। परवर्ती वर्षों में हजरत मुहम्म्द सहाब के अनुयायियों को मक्का के लोगों द्वारा विरोध तथा हजरत मुहम्मद साहब के मदीना प्रस्थान (जिसे हिजरा नाम से जाना जाता है) से ही इस्लामी (हिजरी) पंचांग माना गया। हजरत मुहम्मद साहब की वफात के बाद अरबों का साम्राज्य और जज़्बा बढ़ता ही गया। अरबों ने पहले मिस्र और उत्तरी अफ्रीका पर विजय प्राप्त की और फिर बैजेन्टाइन तथा फारसी साम्राज्यों को हराया। यूरोप में तो उन्हें विशेष सफलता नहीं मिली पर फारस में कुछ संघर्ष करने के बाद उन्हें जीत मिलने लगी। इसके बाद पूरब की दिशा में उनका साम्राज्य फेलता गया। सन् 1200 ईस्वी तक वे भारत तक पहुँच गए।
