Abstract

Mainstream narratives often label the Medieval period as a time of global intellectual stagnation, whereas Islamic civilization actually recorded a golden age through the integration of theology, philosophy, and science, reaching its pinnacle. This study seeks to reconstruct the concept of knowledge (‘ilm) in the medieval Islamic tradition and to map the interrelation between the authority of revelation and rationality. The author applies a library research method with content analysis techniques on the thoughts of key figures such as Al-Farabi, Ibn Rushd (Averroes), and Ibn al-Haytham. The analysis identifies three fundamental points: first, medieval Islamic epistemology was holistic, eliminating the dichotomy between sacred and profane spheres; second, the Qur’an serves as an epistemological constitution that legitimizes empirical observation through the doctrine of the "Two Books" (Tadwini and Takwini); and third, philosophy and science are positioned as collective obligations (fardhu kifayah) consistent with the message of revelation. This study concludes that addressing the crisis of modern knowledge dichotomy requires a renewed adoption of the classical spirit of epistemological integration.

Abstract

The Fatimid Dynasty (909–1171 AD) in Egypt marked one of the most important phases in the history of Islamic education. As a dynasty that embraced Ismaili Shi'ism, the Fatimids not only strengthened their political power, but also actively developed an education system as a means of spreading ideology and knowledge. One of their most monumental contributions was the establishment of Al-Azhar University in 970 AD, which initially functioned as a center for spreading Ismaili teachings, but later developed into an inclusive center of Islamic scholarship. The Fatimid government provided significant support for the development of educational institutions through funding, establishing libraries, and appointing prominent scholars as teachers. This article aims to historically examine the development and role of Islamic educational institutions during the Fatimid Dynasty and their contribution to the Islamic scholarly tradition. The method used is a literature study with a historical-critical approach to primary and secondary sources. The results of the study show that the Fatimid Dynasty succeeded in creating an organized education system that became a model for the development of Islamic educational institutions in subsequent periods.
