<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:TimesNewRoman;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Sociologist [http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bellah Robert Bellah] (''Beyond belief'') argues that Islam in its seventh-century origins was, for its time and place, "remarkably modern...in the high degree of commitment, involvement, and participation expected from the rank-and-file members of the community." This because, he argues, that Islam emphasized on the equality of all Muslims. Leadership positions were open to all. However, there were restraints on the early [http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ummah Muslim community] that kept it from exemplifying these principles, primarily from the "stagnant localisms" of tribe and kinship.

In the book, he discussed what he called ''asabiyya'' (social cohesion), which he sourced as the cause of some civilizations becoming great and others not. Ibn Khaldun felt that many social forces are cyclic, although there can be sudden sharp turns that break the pattern.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-16 [17]]</sup> His idea about the benefits of the division of labor also relate to ''asabiyya'', the greater the social cohesion, the more complex the successful division may be, the greater the economic growth. He noted that growth and development positively stimulates both supply and demand, and that the forces of supply and demand are what determines the prices of goods.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-17 [18]]</sup> He also noted macroeconomic forces of population growth,[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital human capital] development, and technological developments effects on development.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-18 [19]]</sup> In fact, Ibn Khaldun thought that population growth was directly a function of wealth.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-19 [20]]</sup></p>

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:TimesNewRoman;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Dale Eickelman, Professor of Anthropology and Human Relations, writes in [http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_the_Qur%27an Encyclopedia of the Qur'an] that:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Jane_Dammen_McAuliffe_pp._66-76_0-1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-Jane_Dammen_McAuliffe_pp._66-76-0 [1]]</sup></p>
 
Writing in 1960s, sociologist [http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bellah Robert Bellah] (''Beyond belief'') argued that Islam in its seventh-century origins was, for its time and place, "remarkably modern...in the high degree of commitment, involvement, and participation expected from the rank-and-file members of the community." Its leadership positions were open, and divine revelation emphasized equality among believers. Bellah argues that the restraints that kept the early Muslim community from "wholly exemplifying" these modern principles underscore the modernity of the basic message of the Qur'an, which exhorted its initial audience in seventh-century Arabia to break through the "stagnant localisms" of tribe and kinship. In making such statements, Bellah suggests that the early Islamic community placed a particular value on individuals, as opposed to collective or group responsibility (q.v.), so that efforts by contemporary Muslims to depict the early Islamic community as an egalitarian and participant one are not unwarranted.
 
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:TimesNewRoman;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Frederick M. Denny, Professor of Islamic Studies and the History of Religions, concludes his article on ''Community and Society in the Qur'an'' (cf. [http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_the_Qur%27an Encyclopedia of the Qur'an]) by the following remark about the idea of Muslim community (''umma''), developed by the Qur'an:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Qur.27an_pp._385_1-1">[http://web.archive.org/web/20100530022118/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_sociology#cite_note-Qur.27an_pp._385-1 [2]]</sup></p>
 
Surely the most enduring and influential qur'anic idea of community is that of ''umma'' and so flexible is it in specific social, religious, and political terms that it can be embraced across a wide range of concerns by Muslims without their losing a general sense of common cause and consensus concerning the big question of belief and the proper conduct of life both individually and communally. Indeed, the ''umma'' idea has enabled Muslims to endure serious setbacks as in the times of western colonialism when political power was at a lower point in many Muslim regions. What is more, the ''umma'' ideal does not require a unified political order among Muslims in order to be realized and activated... Whenever one looks in the spreading Muslim populations of today..., the Qur'anic formulations and models of social and communal life of Muslims predominate and provide an ever fresh and innovative approach to defining what is meant to be Muslim and how to live in a pluralistic world alongside other communities and societies, whether religious or secular in nature.
