This study attempts to underscore the meaning of the term “`Umrān” aiming to achieve the real sense of development of the nation. At the same time, to change the public opinions especially the philosophers and historians to reconsider the effect of cultural and environmental aspects in human life which has been ignored. The effect of culture and climate upon society has been predominantly rooted, and the law and culture of the community would be changed accordingly. This came to be known as “the law of society” and “the law of nature” which have not being studied and still unknown until presently. As a result, the society are victimized by materialistic minded posed by civilization and urbanization and continued to be unchanged until today.
