Islamization of Science | A Roadmap for an Islamic Revival | Safiyyah Sabreen Syeed | ISTAC IIUM KL

This is a very important presentation I delivered at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC), Kuala Lumpur. When I launched the Second Golden Age project I knew that an Islamic revival is essentially a spiritual and intellectual revival. And one of the best institutes in the world that specializes in Islamic revival and renewal of Islamic thought and civilization is ISTAC. And they even specialize in the core methodology that would be required for this revival. This methodology is the Islamisation of Knowledge. I was grateful that my mentor Dr Hamidullah shared this event with me and I participated in it. Here I presented a model of the Islamisation of science. I took four areas as case study i.e. the probabilistic nature of Quantum Physics, concept of the Fine Tuned universe and the Hard Problem of Consciousness.

I presented how an Islamization of some important fields can lead to an Islamization of the entire discipline of science and this can trickle down to different levels in the education system. When a good number of Islamic universities accept this model then this would inevitably lead to a renewal and revival of the Islamic intellectual tradition.
