Alexander’s most certain, though unintended, historical achievement is that Greek culture undoubtedly penetrated into Minor Asia, the Levant and the Mesopotamian frontier as the result of his conquests of the Persian Empire. It can be argued that this spread of Greek influence into the East is one of the most significant events of history. It is certain that the influence of Muhammad is beyond his death; his impact should also be considered within Islam’s place throughout human civilisation.

I will include the political challenges which the Islamic society faced in its formative period while exploring the differences between the traditionalist and rationalist theological approaches. The principal purpose of this essay is to define reasons why Islamic law became the major regulation throughout various rules overshadowing theology.
