2. The Theoretical Framework of the Relationship between Religion and Civilization One of the foundations of modern Western civilization is secularism or the separation of state and church. In Europe, from the fifteenth century onwards, during the Renaissance and the Reformation, the position of religious authority and absolute monarchy of the pope abolished the king's secular rule eighteenth century during the intellectual period. Religion marginalizing caused Republican system forming in France and Constitutional monarchy in England and developed.

In the book "Revelation and Prophecy," he considers the main reason for creating such a great civilization in the motivating content of Islam's teachings towards science education. The Prophet (PBUH) encouraged his companions to learn literacy; and he said that the search for knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim and seek learning, even though it requires you to travel to China.
