Abstract
ABSTRACT
Islam is dynamic and broad to accommodate a variety of perspectives as it concerns with the totality of truth and considers the pursuit of knowledge within the value framework of Islam. Islamisation of Knowledge in the present intellectual adventure is developed as a new model of study, exploring and reconciling the epistemological viewpoint based on Islamic spirit in contradistinction with western secular studies. Islamisation of knowledge is viewed as an epistemological and civilisation necessity not only for the Muslim Ummah, but also for mankind at large. This paper examines the concept of Islamisation of Knowledge and methods of achieving it. It argues that Muslim Ummahis uniquely qualified to reconstruct human knowledge through an integrative approach and comprehensive reading of the Qur’an and Sunnah. It concludes that the overarching reason for Islamisation of knowledge is the deep depression of dualism, secularization and blind imitation which Muslim societies had fallen into.
