Daftar Isi:
- The idea of Islamization of knowledge appeared in the Muslim world as a result of criticism of Muslim intellectuals of the ideological and value-laden nature of natural dan social sciences. It is believed that the problem can only be overcome through a truly Islamic education, which is possible only if Muslim intellectual create an Islamic concept for all branches of knowledge. Since the modern social science as well as natural science is believed as not neutral, they are to be Islamized. Islamization of knowledge can be depicted that all disciplines: the humanities, the social and even the natural sciences be “rebuilt” by giving these sciences an Islamic base consistent with the objective of Islam. In undertaking the process of Islamization every discipline must be “recat”. The pupose of this recasting is to embody the principles of Islam in the methodology, the strategy, the data, the problems, as well as the objectives and the aspirations of every discipline. Rewriting a university level textbook for each discipline which reflects the “relevance” of Islam to all aspects of life as well as training Muslim teachers to use this kind of textbook were recommended. To Islamize modern knowledge is a great taks confronting Muslim intellectuals and leaders today. There are five figures known as famous supporters of the Islamization of knowledge movement who were also members of the IIIT executive committee: (1) Dr. Isma’il Raji Al-Faruqi, (2) Dr. AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, (3) Dr. Taha Jabir al-‘Alwani, (4) Dr. Jamal al-Barzinji, and (5) Anwar Ibrahim. These five scholars were considered to be the pioneers and leaders of the IIIT who occupies a central position in the Islamization of knowledge project. However, in its journey there are many other Muslim scholars and intellectuals who later join and support the project of the Islamization of knowledge by contributing ideas and publications in the field of Islamization of science.
