Abstract

The medieval Islamicate world (8th–15th centuries) experienced a profound expansion of scientific knowledge and terminology, driven by the translation of Greek, Persian, and Indian works into Arabic and later Latin. This process generated technical terms in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and optics—such as al-jabr, sifr, al-kuḥl, and azimuth—that embodied conceptual advances by scholars like al-Khwarizmi, Ibn al-Haytham, and Avicenna. These terms functioned not merely as linguistic borrowings but as markers of theoretical innovation, blending empirical observation with philosophical inquiry. Through intellectual exchanges in Andalusia, Sicily, and the Crusader states, many Arabic-derived terms entered European scientific discourse, retaining their phonetic form. The persistence of words such as “algorithm,” “zenith,” and “nadir” illustrates the enduring legacy of medieval Islamicate scholarship. This study investigates the etymology, semantic development, and disciplinary contexts of selected terms, revealing their significance in cross-cultural knowledge transmission and the historical continuity between language and scientific advancement.

Abstract

This paper offers a comparative analysis of educational philosophies as articulated by Syed Muhammad Naqib Al-Attas and John Dewey, representing the Islamic and Western intellectual traditions respectively. Al-Attas conceives education as ta’dīb—the cultivation of ethical character and spiritual discipline—anchored in Islamic metaphysics. He views education as a holistic process aimed at the recognition of divine order, the refinement of the soul, and the realisation of man’s purpose in the cosmos. Conversely, John Dewey, a leading figure of Western progressivism, promotes a pragmatic, experience-based model centred on the learner. Dewey’s framework is secular, focusing on adaptation, problem-solving, and the development of democratic citizens, detached from any transcendental aim. By juxtaposing these two paradigms, the essay underscores the ontological and epistemological divergences between Islamic and Western views of education. While limited to these two thinkers, it calls for further research into broader educational traditions to affirm the enduring relevance of Islamic educational philosophy.

Abstract

This paper examines the historical and philosophical role of observatories in the Islamic world (800–1600 CE). More than scientific centres, these institutions embodied Islam’s metaphysical commitment to knowledge (ʿilm) and cosmic order. Under leaders like Caliph al-Ma’mun, observatories became state-sponsored platforms for studying celestial bodies not only as physical objects but as divine signs (āyāt). Using classical sources and modern scholarship, the study situates these observatories within Islam’s unified worldview, where science and spirituality were intertwined. It argues that Islamic scientific progress must be understood within its civilisational and theological framework.

Abstract

The work of Muslim scientists has always attracted attention. Uniquely, the work became widespread and known through its critics, the majority of whom were orientalists. Here are the historians in the field of science. One of the favorite Muslim scientists to study his work is Ibn al-Haitsam. This study with this model of literature seeks to specifically reveal some aspects of optics developed by Ibn Haitsam after the introduction of Islam with previous civilizations. The data revealed focuses on Ibn Haitsam's literature obtained from oriental studies; which specifically discusses optics. This study finds that various works of Ibn Haitsam that have been edited, commented on, and translated by orientalists have a high level of complexity. Therefore, it is necessary to be given a structured advance in understanding it. Moreover, with a concise purpose; namely to know the role of Ibn Haitsam from one of the branches of his various works, namely Optics. The results of the critical analysis say, that Ibn Haitsam's scientific ethos is so high. Because, he honestly acknowledges that his knowledge can evolve through the contributions of previous scientists. Even further, he reached a critical level of study and revised his previous views on the concept of human vision.

Abstract

Iran represents a unique theocratic republic that integrates Islamic governance with republican principles. The political system is based on the concept of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), at the core of its political system, which grants significant authority to Islamic scholars. This doctrine asserts that in the absence of the Hidden Imam, a qualified Islamic jurist should lead the state and society to ensure adherence to Islamic law. This system is designed to combine Islamic principles with modern governance; it simultaneously generates ongoing debates and tensions regarding the balance between religious authority and democratic processes. Through an analysis of Shia political thought and its manifestations within the Islamic Republic, this paper evaluates the adaptability and flexibility of Islamic principles to modern governance structures.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze Ibn Khaldun’s thoughts on the dynamics of human civilization through his central concept, Ashobiyyah (social solidarity). As a pioneer of sociology and historiography, Ibn Khaldun—in his monumental work, the Muqaddimah—offers a unique perspective: that history is not a collection of random events, but rather a cycle governed by the laws of social causality. The method employed in this research is library research using a descriptive-analytical approach toward Ibn Khaldun's classical texts and relevant contemporary literature.The results of the study indicate that Asabiyyah serves as the primary driving energy in the formation of political authority (mulk). Ibn Khaldun divides the civilizational cycle into five distinct phases, ranging from the initial phase of rigorous struggle to the phase of stagnation resulting from the abandonment of the life philosophy established at the outset. This analysis reveals that the downfall of a civilization is often triggered by the weakening of social bonds and moral degradation among leaders, which subsequently leads to the collapse of economic and political structures.This research concludes that Ibn Khaldun’s cyclical theory remains highly relevant for dissecting the phenomena of social integration and disintegration in the modern era. The relevance of these thoughts provides a warning that the resilience of a civilization lies not only in material progress but also in the strength of social capital and the collective moral integrity of its society

Abstract

This paper introduces and explores the concept of Islamic Theolinguistics, an epistemological framework that examines the relationship between language, human consciousness, and Divine revelation. Contemporary linguistic and philosophical paradigms have shifted away from simple referentiality, demonstrating that language operates as a self-referential, subjective "noumenal net" independent of mere sensory perception. Animals possess perception, but understanding is uniquely linguistic; language is what constructs human identity and reality. Utilizing these modern insights as a tool for text interpretation, this study returns to the Qur'an and Hadith to investigate how the Book of God outlines the nature of language and its relation to Being and Creation—a concept historically mirrored in classical Persian literature as "the world of meaning" ('alam al-ma'na). By analyzing key Quranic verses, this paper argues that human language is rooted in a primordial, Divine teaching framework: from the initial endowment of conceptual categories ("And He taught Adam all the Names", 2:31) to the faculties of expression ("He taught him speech", 55:4) and literacy ("by the pen and what they write", 68:1). Furthermore, the study explores the ontology of creation as a timeless, linguistic act of God ("Be and it becomes", 2:117). Ultimately, Islamic Theolinguistics posits that because God is Manifest Truth (Al-Haqq), language—emanating from the Divine Will prior to physical creation—inherently carries a potential connection to its spiritual Source. This framework provides a systematic approach to reading sacred texts, aligning modern epistemology with the timeless, ontological truth embedded in Islamic revelation.

Abstract

The Islamization of art has often been discussed through normative, theological, or stylistic perspectives, yet its archaeological dimensions remain insufficiently explored. This study examines the Islamization of art through the lens of archaeology by distinguishing between empirically verifiable facts and interpretative constructions that are often shaped by modern assumptions or ideological narratives. By analyzing material culture—such as architectural remains, decorative motifs, inscriptions, and artifacts—from early and medieval Islamic contexts, this paper investigates how artistic forms were transformed, adapted, or re-signified within an Islamic worldview rather than abruptly replaced. Archaeological evidence demonstrates that the Islamization of art was a gradual, context-sensitive process marked by continuity, selective adaptation, and ethical reorientation, rather than iconoclastic rupture alone. At the same time, the paper critically addresses common “fictions,” including oversimplified claims of uniform aniconism, total rejection of pre-Islamic artistic traditions, or the notion of a monolithic Islamic artistic style. By situating archaeological data within historical, social, and religious frameworks, this study argues that the Islamization of art reflects a dynamic interaction between faith, local cultures, and material practices. The findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Islamic art as a lived and evolving expression of belief, rooted in both material reality and spiritual meaning.

Abstract

The Islamization of the Banu Sulayh tribe represents an important episode in the transformation of early Arab society during the formative period of Islam. Prior to Islam, the Banu Sulayh, like many Arab tribes, were embedded in a socio-cultural system shaped by tribal loyalty (ʿaṣabiyyah), customary law, and pre-Islamic religious practices. This study examines the process through which Islam was introduced, negotiated, and ultimately integrated into the social, cultural, and religious life of the Banu Sulayh tribe. Using a historical-analytical approach, the paper explores the mechanisms of religious conversion, the role of da‘wah and political alliances, and the reconfiguration of tribal identity under Islamic norms. The findings demonstrate that Islamization did not merely replace pre-Islamic traditions but reoriented them toward a new ethical, legal, and spiritual framework rooted in Islamic teachings. This transformation contributed to the formation of an early Arab-Islamic culture characterized by the synthesis of tribal structures and Islamic values. The case of Banu Sulayh highlights the dynamic nature of Islamization as a gradual and adaptive process rather than a sudden cultural rupture.

Abstract

شهد حقل العلاقات الدولية خلال العقود الأخيرة تزايدًا ملحوظًا في الدعوات إلى تجاوز المركزية الغربية وبناء أطر معرفية أكثر تعددية في تفسير الظواهر الدولية، الأمر الذي أعاد الاهتمام بمشروع إسلامية المعرفة بوصفه أحد المشاريع الداعية إلى تأسيس نموذج حضاري بديل يستند إلى المرجعية الإسلامية. غير أن معظم الدراسات انصرفت إلى عرض المشروع والدفاع عنه، بينما لم تحظَ إشكاليته الإبستمولوجية والمنهجية بالقدر الكافي من التحليل النقدي، خاصة فيما يتعلق بطبيعة المعرفة، والعلاقة بين الوحي والعقل، وإشكالية الغيب والشهادة، وحدود الكونية الإسلامية، وإمكان تحويل المرجعية الإسلامية إلى إطار نظري يمتلك قدرة تفسيرية في العلاقات الدولية. تنطلق هذه الدراسة من فرضية مفادها أن نجاح مشروع إسلامية المعرفة في الإسهام بتطوير نظرية حضارية للعلاقات الدولية لا يتوقف على تميزه المرجعي فحسب، وإنما يعتمد أساسًا على مدى تماسك بنيته الإبستمولوجية، وقدرته على بناء مفاهيم علمية قابلة للتعميم، ومنهج قادر على استيعاب تعقيد الظواهر الدولية دون الوقوع في الاختزال أو الانغلاق الحضاري. وتعتمد الدراسة المنهج التحليلي النقدي، من خلال تحليل الأسس الفلسفية والمعرفية للمشروع، ومناقشة أبرز التحديات التي تواجهه، وفي مقدمتها العلاقة بين الوحي والعقل، والثابت والمتغير، والغيب والشهادة، وموقع التراث، وحدود نقد المركزية الغربية، ومدى إمكانية بناء نموذج معرفي يجمع بين الأصالة الإسلامية ومتطلبات البحث العلمي المعاصر. وتخلص الدراسة إلى أن التحدي الحقيقي الذي يواجه مشروع إسلامية المعرفة لا يتمثل في إثبات خصوصيته الحضارية، وإنما في بناء إطار إبستمولوجي ومنهجي متماسك قادر على إنتاج مفاهيم تفسيرية قابلة للتطبيق في دراسة العلاقات الدولية. وترى الدراسة أن تطوير نظرية حضارية إسلامية... (النص مبتور في الأصل) English Abstract   This paper examines the epistemological and methodological challenges facing the Islamization of Knowledge project, especially when employed as a reference framework for building a civilizational theory in International Relations. The study begins from the premise that the success of any knowledge project does not depend solely on the soundness of its doctrinal or philosophical foundations, but also requires methodological clarity, the capacity to engage human plurality, and the ability to reconcile revelation and reason, permanence and change, the unseen and the seen, as well as the development of interpretive tools capable of analyzing the contemporary international system. The paper argues that the Islamization of Knowledge remains an important attempt to overcome Western centrism in knowledge production; however, it continues to face theoretical and methodological difficulties that limit its ability to evolve into a fully developed explanatory model in International Relations. The study concludes that constructing an Islamic civilizational theory requires moving beyond broad normative theorization toward precise methodological formulation, in order to produce a more coherent and effective framework for understanding contemporary international phenomena. Keywords: Islamization of Knowledge, International Relations, Civilizational Theory, Western Centrism, Methodology.
