ICMUST 2024 (Call for Paper)

Agenda

“Re-centering Islamic Studies: Contemporary Discourses between Revealed Knowledge and Social Sciences”

Islamic Studies, originating in early Islamic civilization, emphasized religious texts and knowledge preservation. Medieval Islamic scholars integrated Islamic principles with rational inquiry. Colonial encounters led to marginalization of Islamic knowledge by Western education systems, creating a divide between religious and secular education. This spurred modernization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries, prompting a crisis of relevance in Islamic Studies as traditional methods clashed with societal changes.

In the present era, Islamic Studies stands at a critical juncture. The field is no longer confined to the study of religious texts but encompasses many subjects, including history, politics, sociology, and gender studies. This expansion reflects the need to address contemporary issues facing Muslim societies globally. This conference aims to reevaluate epistemologies and approaches in Islamic studies
