Book Synopsis Islamization of Attitudes and Practices in Science & Technology by : M. A. K. Lodhi
Download or read book Islamization of Attitudes and Practices in Science & Technology written by M. A. K. Lodhi and published by IIIT. This book was released on 1989 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of selected papers presented at the Workshop on the Islamization of Attitudes and Practices in Science and Technology. (1408-1987). Sponsored by the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers (AMSE) and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), this pioneering workshop emphasized the Islamization of attitudes and practices in the natural sciences. Until recently studies on Islamization concentrated primarily on the social sciences and humanities. This book focused on the problems and challenges of attitudes and practices in science and technology with respect to ideology, personality, education and environment of the Muslim scientists in the contemporary world. This work includes M.A.K. Lodhi's "The Making of a Scientist: The Islamizing of a Muslim Scientist"; Syed M. Amir's "science Research in Muslim countries"; S. H. Durrani's incorporation of Islamic Values in the Administration of a Science Research Institute"; and M. Mazhar Hussaini's 'Attitudes and Practices in Food Nutritional Sciences." Other highlights include "The Islamic Basis of the Coming Muslim Technological Renaissance" by Ali Kyrala and "Islamization of Attitude and Practice in Embryology" by Ibrahim B. Syed. In all, thirteen prominent scholars share their valuable insights on their respective disciplines in this book. We hope that both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars will find their work to be a valuable source of critical observations and profound germinal concepts for future development.

Book Synopsis Islam's Quantum Question by : Nidhal Guessoum
Download or read book Islam's Quantum Question written by Nidhal Guessoum and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In secular Europe the veracity of modern science is almost always taken for granted. Whether they think of the evolutionary proofs of Darwin or of spectacular investigation into the boundaries of physics conducted by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, most people assume that scientific enquiry goes to the heart of fundamental truths about the universe. Yet elsewhere, science is under siege. In the USA, Christian fundamentalists contest whether evolution should be taught in schools at all. And in Muslim countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia, a mere 15 per cent of those recently surveyed believed Darwin's theory to be 'true' or 'probably true'. This thoughtful and passionately argued book contends absolutely to the contrary: not only that evolutionary theory does not contradict core Muslim beliefs, but that many scholars, from Islam's golden age to the present, adopted a worldview that accepted evolution as a given. Guessoum suggests that the Islamic world, just like the Christian, needs to take scientific questions - 'quantum questions' - with the utmost seriousness if it is to recover its true heritage and integrity. In its application of a specifically Muslim perspective to important topics like cosmology, divine action and evolution, the book makes a vital contribution to debate in the disputed field of 'science and religion'.

Book Synopsis Ijtihad (Occasional Papers) by : Taha Jabir Al-Alwani
Download or read book Ijtihad (Occasional Papers) written by Taha Jabir Al-Alwani and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering that the accepted juridical sources of Islam are valid for all times and places, ijtiahd may be described as a creative but disciplined intellectual effort to derive legal rulings from those sources while taking into consideration the variables imposed by the fluctuating circumstances of Muslim society. Consigning ijtihad to be annals of history is a denial of the rationalistic, egalitarian, and humane aspects of a realistic and durable Faith. The act would be a repudiation of the requisites of changing times and of the clamoring need to rid the Ummah of its present baggage of malaise and enable it to forge ahead, inspiring other nations and communities. It can be proved historically that the Ummah only entered its current crisis after ijtihad fell into disuse and was gradually replaced by taqlid. It is only through ijtihad that Muslims will be able to construct a new specific methodological infrastructure capable of addressing the crisis of Islamic thought and so, propose alternatives for the many problems of the contemporary world. The courage that needs to accompany such a mission is tremendous, the methodology massive an meticulous. With this work, Dr Al-Alwani has contributed to the debate on this vital issue. The very way he tackled it-sometimes with boldness, sometimes with caution-shows that the debate is not an open-and shut issue, and that it needs to be widen quickly in view of the urgency of the situation.
Book Synopsis Outlines of a Cultural Strategy by : Taha Jabir Alalwani
Download or read book Outlines of a Cultural Strategy written by Taha Jabir Alalwani and published by IIIT. This book was released on 1995 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper not only addresses the intellectual crisis in the Muslim world as manifested in the present state of Muslim thought, knowledge, education, and civilization- a crisis which is directly responsible for the Muslim world's social, economic, and political problems- but it also presents compelling and thought-provoking ideas for an alternative cultural strategy likely to alleviate the Ummah's malaise and benefit humanity at large. Dr. Al-Alwani argues that the proposed cultural strategy has never been so urgent and imperative and must establish the Islamic world view with rational educational policies on the basis of firm principles and as far-sighted strategy with the aim of dispelling the religious/secular disparity in education while keeping constantly in touch with our time.

Book Synopsis The Qur'an and the Sunnah by : Taha Jabir Al-Alwani
Download or read book The Qur'an and the Sunnah written by Taha Jabir Al-Alwani and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long now, the Qur’an and the Sunnah, great sources of strength, purity, knowledge and inspiration for the Ummah, have not been adequately tapped. Skirting their peripheries or over-dwelling on one or two of their multifarious facets and tributaries has done a disservice to the immense potential of the fountainhead, while denying the Ummah- indeed the whole world- innumerable benefits from them. Now that the Ummah is becoming increasingly aware of its own problems as well as latent powers, and yearns to revive its leading role in the forging of history and cilization, the issue of drawing on the wellspring becomes more relevant and urgent. Revisiting these two sources is no longer a scholastic, academic, nostalgic, or escapist indulgence, but a great journey of discovery that promises untold rewards. Paradoxically, the journey through the resplendent pages of the Qur’an and the Sunnah to a time and place in the past should yield a more mature awareness of the dynamics of social and historical change and a human being’s role on earth, honing and sharpening the Muslims’ capacity to deal with the demands of the present moment and the challenges of the future. Suggestions for a new reading of the Qur’an and the Sunnah have been put forward from Islamic and other angles in the recent years. In this book Dr. Al-Alwani and Dr. Khalil, two well-known Muslim thinkers, contribute their views for a proper approach to these sources from within the Islamic framework.

Book Synopsis Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation by : Claudia Derichs
Download or read book Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation written by Claudia Derichs and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas Area Studies and cross-border cooperation research conventionally demarcates groups of people by geographical boundaries, individuals might in fact feel more connected by shared values and principles than by conventional spatial dimensions. Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation asks what norms and principles lead to the creation of knowledge about cross-border cooperation and connection. It studies why theories, methods, and concepts originate in one place rather than another, how they travel, and what position the scholar adopts while doing research, particularly ‘in the field’. Taking case studies from Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, the book links the production of alternative epistemologies to the notion of global cooperation and reassesses the ways in which the concept of connectedness can be applied at the translocal and individual rather than the formal international and collective level. Knowledge Production, Area Studies and Global Cooperation provides an innovative and critical approach towards established means of producing knowledge about different areas of the world, demonstrating that an understanding of pluri-local connectivity should be integrated into the production of knowledge about different areas of the world and the behavioural dimension of global cooperation. By shifting the view from the collective to the individual and from the formal to often invisible patterns of connectedness, this book provides an important fresh perspective which will be of interest to scholars and students of Area Studies, Politics, International Relations and Development Studies.
