No other religion has become such a big controversial issue as Islam does. Islam has become a buzzword in the modern world, especially after 9/11.

Hundreds of intellectuals of different corners of the world have made themselves engaged in developing perspectives to explain political forms in Islamic world, Islamism, Islamic State, Jihad, Martyrdom or Shahadah and so forth.

This paper would provide a straightforward guideline to grasp most of the pertinent aspects related to the intellectual trends of the researchers on Islam in the last few decades.
