ABSTRACT This thesis is an in-depth study into two of the UK charity iERA's da'wah narratives: the Qura'nic embryology 'miracle' and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. While the embryo verses have received scholarly attention, there is little to no research in the da'wah context for both narratives. Berger and Luckmann's social constructionism was applied to both, which were problematic. It was found that iERA constructed its exegesis of the embryo verses by expanding on classical meanings to show harmony with modern science. Additionally, it developed the Cosmological Argument by adapting it to Salafi Islamic beliefs. The construction processes were found to be influenced by an online dialectic between iERA and its Muslim and atheist detractors, causing it to abandon the scientific miracles and modify the Cosmological Argument.

FOR PROMOTING 24 PEACE #ICS2018 #FutureOfFaith 3 The Future of Faith: Religious Values in a Plural World INTRODUCTION In light of challenges facing the role of religion in the modern world, from time to time leaders from various faiths have come together to provide a united front and initiate calls for action with the aim of underlining the positive pathways that religion can contribute in addressing the global challenges today. Previous major initiatives include A Common Word (2012) which is endorsed by hundreds of Muslim and Christian thinkers and scholars who propose common ground initiatives for all humanity; the Chechnya Conference (2016) that concentrated on intra- faith issues and the identity of mainstream moderate Islam; the Marrakesh Conference (2016) led by H.E. Shaykh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, proposed a legal framework for inclusive treatment of minorities; and the Fez Plan of Action (2017) which focused on the role of religious leadership in counter-radicalization efforts. In partnership with the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies led by eminent Muslim scholar Shaykh Abdallah Bin Bayyah, the Islamic Council of Singapore (MUIS) intends to complement these global initiatives which were rolled out in pursuit of a progressive and pro-active religious identity in the context of the rapidly changing and diverse world we live in now. The conference aims to contribute a significant voice for continued inter-religious cooperation in harnessing the positive role of religion as well as celebrate the milestones of the Singapore Muslim community as part of MUIS’s 50th Anniversary.

  • Historicizing Ghazali's Critique of Ibn Sina and Its Influence on Islamic Science
    Historicizing Ghazali's Critique of Ibn Sina and Its Influence on Islamic Science Dr. Macksood A. Aftab A Thesis in the Field of the History of Science for the Degree of Master of History of Science in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2014 Abstract Ghazali was one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Islam. Yet there exists much controversy about his views and his influence. Some have hailed him as a reviver of the sciences (both religious and secular), whereas others hold him responsible for the supposed decline of Islamic science, and philosophy. This thesis aims to better understand Ghazali and the factors which motivated him. The study will include an examination of influences upon Ghazali during his formative period and during his academic career. It will study Ghazali’s relationship with Islamic philosophers which preceded him, the most important of which was Ibn Sina. It will attempt to understand the nature of Ghazali’s critique of causation. Finally, it will consider other facets of Ghazali’s legacy and their influence upon later Islam. It is hoped that Ghazali can be better understood when he is placed in his appropriate historical context. Placing him in this context allows for a finer differentiation between the thought of Ghazali and Ibn Sina on the one hand and an appreciation for their similarity on the other. Ghazali’s famous critique of causation can also be best understood, not as a purely philosophical argument, but by understanding the reasons why Ghazali chose to address the problem of causation. This will allow for a richer appreciation for the life and influence of one of history’s greatest thinkers.
