Muslim scholars since ‘Abduh had been looking for the ample approach to accommodate the modern thoughts within the boundaries of Islamic teachings resulting in notions such as Islamisation and its alternatives. Although the real measurement for success of such approaches in addressing the gap between the Islamic world and the West has not been duly agreed upon, the echoes of the calls from scholars to continue marching have been resonating well within the Islamic scholarly circles. The current book is an evidence of this continuous enthusiasm among the Muslim academia. The first aspect is Islamicization; an alternative term proposed by Prof. Mohd. Kamal Hasan to reconceptualize Islamisation to include the production of Muslim scholars and not limiting the process only to human knowledge. A prominent feature of the articles carrying this theme is the effort of integrating the various field of knowledge with the Islamic perspective. The use of information technology in teaching Islamic discipline, exploring Islamic pedagogical aspect in teaching science subjects, applying new discipline such as hospitality to develop some Islamic friendly tourism activities x Preface and the perspectives of students on a newly developed Islamic content of textbook on physics are among the activities of the continuous Islamicization project. The application of Islamic perspectives on other disciplines includes political science and art. The development of an ʽAqīdah compliance index is one of those efforts to continue applying quantitative approach on the basic aspects of the religion. The reinterpretation of traditional concept under the new light is yet another aspect of this project. Traditional views are put into new context and use such as in the effort to benefit from the Sīrah to look for techniques to empower youth. The concept of happiness in Islam is also discussed as an alternative for the modern paradigm. Undoubtedly, all these efforts serve as an indicator to the lively undertakings which are overwhelmingly happening in the Islamic academia with the noble objectives to integrate, accommodate and include Islamic perspectives in the branches of knowledge. Nonetheless, the Islamicization process is notably varied across the various branches of human knowledge ranging from the basic contextualization of certain discipline within the quotes from Islamic resources to the serious application on concept and its integration within other disciplines. Interestingly, there are several articles that deal with the problematic conceptual framework of Islamicization which further confirms the on-going debate about the concept. Albeit this, generally it is noticeable that the efforts of academics to integrate and contextualize depends on the nature of the disciplines; in pure sciences, the locus is mostly pedagogical, while in human sciences discipline the effort has wide arrays of application and integration modes. x Preface Preface xi Rejuvenating Islamic Thought and Civilization is best exemplified in the aspect of education. Without the integration of the revealed knowledge and human sciences, Islamic perspective will remain an alien approach. With the on-going efforts, it has shifted to become an alternative paradigm for the academic to explore new explanation and renewed perspective. Consequently, it is hoped that it will become the leading paradigm, at least in the Muslim world. In education, new application of the traditional Islamic disciplines on modern issues need to be explored. The discipline of exegesis (tafsīr) for example, is rich with perspectives for the study of language or linguistics. The layers of meaning and the richness of context of the Quranic verses are of great resource to linguists to understand textuality and pragmatics. The discipline of Uṣūl al-Fiqh would make great contribution in the field of management as it offers analytical tool for decision making. In the field of education, the reinterpretation of the teaching and educating methods of the prophets is essential to produce agent of change in society. In politics, the Prophet had set an outstanding example of succession plan that should be an interesting focus for human resource management expert. With the contribution of this book, it is hoped that it will continue to set new frontiers in the efforts to rejuvenate and keep alive the Islamic perspective in order to make it continuously relevant to contemporary issues.
