The independence of [[Qustantistan]] as part of the broader [[Crusades]] had the effect of solidifying Qustanti Islam as a distinct and surviving religious tradition. Historians generally attribute [[1144]], the year of the [[Crusades#Third_Crusade_(1144)|Third Crusade]], as the beginning of the period of "modern" Qustanti Islam. From that period, an unbroken line of Caliphs have governed the Qustanti faithful. Beginning with the age of exploration and advent of global trade and {{Wp|early modern period}}, Qustanti Islam found its way to many different countries and continents. In the 21st century, Qustanti communities are present on all seven continents. | |||
