| Abstract: | Islamization of knowledge is the debate about the Muslim future. Islamization is viewed as a civilization project of rethinking, taking the Qur'an as the frame of reference. Institutional and conceptual approaches are analysed. The new disciplines of knowledge within Islamization are seen as having three parameters - an emphasis on holism, the centrality of risk and uncertainty, and acknowledgement of ignorance. Although Islamization involves critique of western civilization, it may seem rejectionist, but synthesis is the aim. The Islamization discourse is at present mainly theoretical; practice requires time and effort. |
