<![CDATA[This article would like to show that the Qur’an has influenced the development of Islamic civilization and sciences. In order to prove that, this article will tackle two questions, firstly when did the Arabic literacy tradition develop in Arab community, and secondly, which factors did influence the development of Islamic civilization. This article argues against Ibn Khaldun (d. 808 H), who claims that literacy depends on the economic development.

This article argues that piety, religiousity, and Muslim dedication to learn from the Qur’an which influence the development of Islamic civilization.]]>
