₦15,000.00
This book surveys Islamization of Knowledge (10K), a project representing a Muslim intellectual response to modernity. The 10K agenda is now about 40 years old and has left a permanent imprint in modern Muslim discourse: there are institutions dedicated to its cause in the Muslim world, intellectual journals promoting its agenda and scholarly attempts to build contemporary bodies of knowledge based on its agenda. Proponents of 10K see the root cause and solution to problems facing the ummah today as one of knowledge and education. This study attempts a comprehensive review of 10K, discussing the views of its main proponents as well as of its critics. It covers issues of definitions; rationale and tries to tease out differences of opinions in the 10K process itself. This 2nd, expanded edition also includes a section that presents a briefcase study of the 10K agenda as applied to economics, one of the earliest disciplines to receive the attentigåof contemporary Muslim scholars. The book is primarily targeted to young researchers and scholars wanting to -understand the 10K agenda, with the intention to develop contemporary bodies of knowledge from Islamic perspectives. However, it is also accessible to professionals interested to get a general introduction to a very important attempt by Muslim scholars to face the challenges of the Muslim ummah.
