Abstract
Since the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States of
America in the year 2001, there has been increasing interest in
Islam, Islamic history and civilisation, the Islamic scholarship
and heritage, and inter-faith dialogue. Many researchers and
philosophers have concentrated on the large number of Muslim
migrants and refugees in Western countries (particularly in
Europe), the process of assimilation, and the effect an increased
Muslim population has had on countries. The migration of
Muslims to Europe has been a very popular topic, and hundreds
of books, research and articles have been written regarding that.
In contrast, there is minimal writing on the social justice of
migrants in transnational affairs in Islam. There is a
considerable amount of literature on social justice in Christianity
and the relationship between social justice and migration. For
instance, there are numerous studies available about the
response of Christian faith-based organisations, missionaries
and crusaders in response to refugee and migration crises. But
this research explores borders, migration and social justice in
Islamic civilisation history. Firstly, the research will look into the
significant migration that occurred in Islamic history and also
examine the foundation of social justice in Islam; also, this
research will look at ideas of transnational affairs in assisting
Muslim migrants and refugees. It is designed that this research is
going to adopt the qualitative style of research in all it
approaches.
