Welcome to "Islamization: Reforming Contemporary Knowledge" by Abdu Hamid A. Abu Sulayman. In this captivating exploration, the crisis of knowledge in our modern world is unraveled, tracing its roots and offering insightful solutions rooted in Islamic principles. Dive deep into the heart of contemporary thought as Abu Sulayman delves into the delicate balance between revelation and reason. He guides us through the genesis of the crisis of knowledge, illuminating how it has manifested in various spheres of society. From the corridors of academia to the halls of governance, the repercussions of this crisis are profound and far-reaching. But fear not, for within these pages lies a roadmap to redemption. Abu Sulayman advocates for a redefinition of knowledge-one that integrates the timeless wisdom of Islam with the demands of our rapidly changing world. Through meticulous scholarship and impassioned rhetoric, he calls for the establishment of a robust Islamic infrastructure and education system to serve as the bedrock of a reinvigorated intellectual tradition. Central to Abu Sulayman's thesis is the Islamization of knowledge-a bold endeavor that seeks to infuse academic disciplines with the ethical framework of Islam. Drawing upon the rich tapestry of Islamic history and jurisprudence, he offers a compelling vision for the future of political science, challenging prevailing notions such as democracy and sovereignty. By interrogating the very foundations of these concepts, Abu Sulayman demonstrates their inadequacy in capturing the complexities of Muslim societies and their governance structures. Yet, "Islamization" is more than just a critique of contemporary thought; it is a call to action-a rallying cry for all those who yearn for a more just and equitable world. Through the lens of political science, Abu Sulayman invites us to reconsider our assumptions about power, authority, and governance. He challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truths that lie at the heart of our modern political systems and to imagine alternative futures grounded in the principles of justice and compassion. But perhaps most importantly, "Islamization" is a testament to the enduring vitality of Islamic thought. It reminds us that the wisdom of the past is not lost but waiting to be rediscovered and revitalized for a new era. Abu Sulayman's vision is one of hope-a vision that dares to imagine a world where knowledge is not a commodity to be bought and sold but a sacred trust to be nurtured and cherished for the betterment of humanity. So, dear reader, I invite you to embark on this journey of discovery and transformation. Let the pages of "Islamization" be your guide as you navigate the complexities of our modern world with wisdom, courage, and compassion. Together, let us forge a new path-one that honors the past, embraces the present, and beckons towards a brighter future for all. Table of Contents: I. The Crisis of Knowledge A.
