THE MARGINALIZATION OF ISLAM

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
