A two-day seminar on Isma`il Raji al-Faruqi (1921-86), jointly organized bythe Centre for the Study of Democracy (University of Westminster), Princeal-Waleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (GeorgetownUniversity), and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIITUK and USA), took place in London at the University of Westminster on6-7 June 2010. Considering his intellectual output, academic agendas, andscholastic achievements, as well as to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversaryof his death, the organizers thought a seminar of this caliber wouldbe most appropriate. John Esposito and John Voll write of a certain Christianacquaintance of al-Faruqi lamenting the latter’s aspiration to become the“Luther” of Islam, believing that it is in dire need of reformation. This considerationguaranteed al-Faruqi a prominent slot in their “Makers of ContemporaryIslam” (2001) ...

In this issue we have a collection of very interesting articles. There is thelead article written by the late Professor Ismail al Faruqi, founding Presidentof the International Institute of Islamic Thought in Reston, Virginia, and thefirst President of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists in 1972. Thesetwo organizations, which are separate but work together as partners in Muslimscholarship in North America, are the sponsors of this journal.Dr. al Faruqi's contribution on the important question of world theologyintroduces a four-part presentation on aspects of the Islamization of Knowledge.Well-grounded in this field of knowledge and coming from a background whichclearly made him one of the few Muslim scholars capable of engaging in ameaningful dialogue with Western thinkers on their own ground, Professoral-Faruqi identifies the main areas of discourse and then offers a critical Islamicperspective on the problem.Following his article are two position papers on pressing current issues.The first is the piece written by S. Abdullah Schleifer, an American Muslimcurrently working and living in Cairo, Egypt. A prominent journalist withmany years of experience in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world,Schleifer looks at the needs, feasibility and limitations of an independent IslamicNews Agency. This piece is provocative and provides food for thought to thoseMuslims who are interested in the current debate on the New InternationalInformation Order (NIIO). The second paper deals with the operations ofmodern financial markets for stocks and bonds and its relevance to an Islamiceconomy. Written by Professor Raquib uz-Wan, it focuses on a very importantissue in the current discussion on Islamic economics.We regret to announce that Dr. Musa O.A. Abdul, a member of our AdvisoryEditorial Board has passed away due to natural causes. Students andfaculty of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and all others who came to knowhis work in Islamic studies will always benefit, inshallah, from his inspiringdevotion to the cause of Islam.We hope that this issue will continue the steady improvement in the qualityof this journal. We are determined, insha' Allah, to raise the quality of productionand the quality of scholarship in this journal. For this and other relatedreasons we call on all scholars who are interested in the Muslim World tosend in their comments and suggestions. Contributions are welcome fromall over the world ...

The Fourth International Conference on Islamization of Knowledge,sponsored by the International Institute of Islamic Thought, was held in collaborationwith the University of Khartoum January 15-20, 1987. The themeof the conference was “Methodology of Research, Behavioral Sciences andEducation.” The call for papers was published in the American Jouml ofIslamic Social Sciences in July, 1984 and the invitations were circulated widelyamong Muslim scholars. It was in response to these calls that abstracts werereceived and finally selected on the basis of their relevance and quality.The conference was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of the Sudan, Mr.al Sayyid al Sadiq al Mahdi. Thirty-seven research papers were presented byforeign, as well as local Sudanese scholars. The subjects includedmethodology, epistomology , education, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.The conference proved to be an historic event, especially in termsof the participation of large numbers of local scholars, teachers, students andother interested Muslims.Each presentation was followed by lively discussions and critiques. Theextraordinary interest shown by the Sudanese Muslims regarding the issues ofthe Islamization of Knowledge, was evidence of this nation’s commitment tothe process of Islamization. The director of the Friendship Hall announced atthe final session that the conference had attracted the largest crowd ever at theauditorium. In addition, the lobbies, the offices and the grounds around theauditorium were all crowded and the loud speakers had to be openedeverywhere.The following are the titles of some of the research papers presented:1.

IIIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought) in Nigeria, in conjunctionwith the Muslim Forum of Bayero University, Kano, jointlyorganized and conducted a one-day seminar on the Islamization ofknowledge. The seminar took place on 5 Rabi' al-Awwal, 1417 (20 July1996). It was one of a series of programs designed for faculty outreach.Therefore, academic staff in the various faculties of the university wereinvited and constituted the primary audience.The primary aim of the seminar was to educate and mobilize Muslimacademicians in the university toward the Islamization of Knowledgeprogram. It has been observed that, although a number of departments inthe university offer Islamically oriented courses and several papers hadbeen presented in some departmental and even some international seminars,many academic staff still do not have a proper understanding of theidea behind the Islamization of knowledge. For this reason, all the paperspresented focused on the concept of Islamization of knowledge itself.Of the papers presented, two are included here. The first paper was thekeynote address delivered by Dr. Bashir Shehu Galadanci, the coordinatorof IIIT in Nigeria. Dr. Galadanci gave a precise and concise summaryof the journey thus far and the issues involved in the Islamization ofKnowledge program. First and foremost, he gave a brief analysis of thetheoretical and conceptual framework upon which the idea of the programwas built. He further analyzed the divergent views and the controversiesinvolved in the program. He then gave a concise historical reviewof its undertaking, the efforts and achievements so far made on the program,and some of the problems usually encountered both locally inNigeria and internationally ...

They were convincedthat the crisis of this Ummah in both essence and reality is an intellectual ...
