Abstract

In the beginning of the eighth century A.D. the Arabs conquered the Northwestern parts of India under Mohammad bin Qasim. Here too the early Arab character grounded in Islamic faith influenced many indigenous people to embrace the new faith. However in the years following the political turmoil's in the central Caliphate disrupted this process and with the fall of the Umayyad's Sindh became almost independent. The following centuries witnessed turbulent changes in the ruling class and the continued political disturbance sapped the Muslim society of its earlier Islamic integrity. Consequently there were instances of many converts returning to their original faith. This research belongs to those conflicting trends and ideas which started in the Mughal period. These trends had changed the thoughts of erudite completely. This paper also highlights the gap between Sharia and Tareqat.
