A QUEST OF SACRED SCIENCE
Abstract
. Science has been considered inferior to Islamic Shari’ah by
modern Islamic thinkers. The vision of Islam surrounds all domains;
therefore, science ought to be Islamize according to ideas of Islam. Their
foremost concern is to confine secular science and society beyond which
they do not corrupt Muslim Ummah. Islamization, an alternative paradigm
to western epistemology, is based on the view that all knowledge should be
within an Islamic view. The goal of Islamizerss is to generate new
consensus, jurisprudence and methodology that do not violate Islamic laws
This paper discusses i) the Islamization of education agenda; ii) the
prospects and problems associated with Islamization project; iii) and aims to
understand that whether we are really in need of Islamization? Does an ideal
of sacred science is possible or it is a kind of Platonic utopia? Shouldn’t
science be treated separate from religion? Finally, iv) I will provide
alternatives to Islamization supported by solutions provided by antiIslamizers
