The purpose of the paper is to analyse the philosophical aspects of the historical development of Islamic civilisation. Special attention is paid to the socio-cultural and socio-political crises that accompany the development of the Muslim world and the regularity of turning to the radical ideas of the Syrian religious figure Ibn Taymiyyah during the period of instability at the turn of the 13th-14th centuries. Theoretical basis: In the course of the study the author did not find any works, devoted to the influence of Ibn Taymiyyah on the establishment of the ideology of modern radical groups and the interest in the Islamic world to his ideas. Therefore, the scientific novelty of the study lies in the possibility to investigate the features of the historical development of the Islamic world and the appeal in times of crisis to the teachings of this medieval religious leader. In the course of the study the author came to the conclusion, the development of Islam was greatly influenced by the peculiarities of tribal relations in the Arab society in particular, and in the Islamic society as a whole.

In his essays on “Self-Expression” and “The Human Ideal” in the medieval Islamic world, the late Gustave E. von Grunebaum argued that both expressions and portrayals of individuality were a comparative rarity in the literature of pre-modern Islamic civilization.1 Von Grunebaum concluded from reviewing both autobiographical and biographical works written by Muslims that the social customs, religious values, and literary conventions of premodern Islamic society combined to discourage evocations or depictions of idiosyncratic personalities in favor of representations of impersonal stereotypes.

AbstractDuring the 20th century, there have been numerous scholarly attempts in studying, analyzing and even to some extent, criticizing the issues pertaining to the contacts, impacts and relations between the Muslim world and the West. However, when dealing with these issues, the geography should not be limited to the Muslim world and the West, Europe in particular, but it should cover both Europe and Asia taken together where the earliest civilizations took place and by the 7th century, Islamic civilization flourished in the center of domain civilizations. With a wider and more positive look, the four articles by the academicians, (namely Danial M. Yosuf, Ali Çaksu, Anke Iman Bouzenita and Mesut Idriz), selected to be featured in this edition will contribute not only to this field of study but also avoid or remove the barriers and concentrate on the bridges between the Islamic world and the Eurasia. All the articles are original works and published for the first time in this volume The focus of this special edition is on the paradoxes between the Islamic and Eurasian worlds.

It is no exaggeration to say that some of the greatest intellectual movementsin the annals of human civilization were launched under the aegis of Islam.Islamic contributions to the promotion of knowledge and learningare noteworthy. Franz Rosenthal, for one, perceptively observed that Islam’slasting and invaluable gift to humankind is that it made the hiddentreasures of knowledge available to all sectors of society. The intellectualrevolution ushered in under the direction of Islamic civilization blossomedand came to fruition through the central importance attached to the artsof language. (The earliest verses of the Qur’an revealed to the Prophet, forexample, highlighted their crucial significance.) The importance attachedto learning and the transmission and dissemination of knowledge was institutionalizedthrough a wide network of schools, colleges, universities,libraries, observatories, and medical residencies in the Islamic world. Theselfless devotion of individual scholars, the munificence of private donors,waqf endowments, and royal patronage played a central role in the inceptionand maintenance of these institutions.For Muslim intellectuals, the question of intellectual decay has longbeen worrying, yielding repeated efforts to analyze and diagnose the historicaland spiritual factors responsible for the stagnation and decline ofthe Muslim world. Parray’s introduction highlights Qur’anic terms key tohis effort, including furqān (distinction), dhikr (remembrance), and hudā(guidance), which also signal how he reads the scripture. He quotes MustansirMir, renowned Pakistani expert on Qur’anic studies, who says of thevarious aspects under which the Qur’an presents itself, that these names“not only represent so many facets of the Islamic scripture, but they alsomake up, when seen as inter-related and inter-connected, a coherent and ...

One response that challenges the thought of Seyyed Hossein Nasr is the flow of Western development that overrides the spiritual aspect. Seyyed Hossein Nasr is due to the opposition to the Islamic religion which is felt to be very struggling with Islamic civilization going forward. The main weapon of Seyyed Hossein Nasr to counter this Western discussion is the use of the philosophy of perennialism or what is often referred to as Pernenis Religion.
