Dubai




 Dubai (/duːˈbaɪ/, doo-BY; Arabic: دبي, romanized: Dubayy, IPA: [dʊˈbajj], Gulf Arabic pronunciation: [dəˈbaj]) is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai.[4][5][6] Established in the 18th century as a small fishing village, the city grew rapidly in the early 21st century with a focus on tourism and hospitality,[7] having the second most five-star hotels in the world,[8] and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.[9]


In the eastern Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf,[10] it is also a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo.[11] Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub. A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai's economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services.[12][13][14][15] Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate's GDP in 2018.[16] The city has a population of around 3.4 million (as of 2021).[17]

Hence Muslims, all over the world consider it sacred. The Arabic language gained importance as a result of the spread of Islam in the 7th and 8th centuries. During this period the Arabic came into contact with the European languages and enriched them. Even though little changes took place in the Arabic language during the last century, it got refined with new words and technological terms during the last century. It is written in the golden pages of history that Arabs have contributed immensely to the advancement of science, medicine, and philosophy. The valuable knowledge of the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultures was preserved for the world throug...

His 1950 book Maza Khasiral Alam be Inhitat al-Muslimeen (lit. What did the world lose with the decline of Muslims?), translated into English as Islam and the World, was largely responsible for popularizing the concept of "modern Jahiliyya" The Islamist author Syed Qutb commended Nadwi's writings for his use of the word jahiliyya to describe not a particular age in history (as earlier Muslim scholars did) but a state of moral corruption and materialism.
