ISLS-5111 Introduction to the Topics of the Holy-Qur’an 3(3+0)
The Qur’an al-kur’an, literally “the recitation”; also, sometimes transliterated as Quran, Koran, or
Alcoran) is the central religious text of Islam. We Muslims believe The Qur’an to be the book of
divine guidance and direction for mankind, consider the text in its original Arabic to be the literal
word of Allah (God) revealed to Muhammad (S.A.W.W) over a period of twenty-three years, and
view The Qur’an as Allah’s final revelation to humanity. We regard The Qur’an as the culmination of
a series of divine messages that started with those revealed to Adam in Suhufi Ibrahim (Scrolls of
Abraham), Moses’ The Tawrat (Torah), David’s Zabur (Psalms), and Jesus’ Injil (Gospel). May peace
be upon them all. All those “books” are recognized in The Qur’an, and The Quranic text assumes
familiarity with many events from Jewish and Christian scriptures, retelling some of these events in
distinctive ways, and referring obliquely to others. It also offers detailed accounts of historical events,
but The Qur’an’s emphasis is typically on the moral significance of an event rather than its narrative
sequence.

ISLS -5112 Arabic Language-1 3(3+0)
The Arabic language has to day assumed the status of an international language with the emergence of
sovereign Arab States, in Asia and Africa, exercising considerable influence in the political and
economic spheres, interest in evinced in this language by people living in the four corners of the
world. It is unique that Arabic, though a classical language, is good enough for an age whose
scientific and political vocabulary is increasingly expanding. On the other hand, it has revitalized
itself and become more popular with the passage of time and has attained a singular status which very
few classical languages command. As Philip K. Hitti has remarked: “For many centuries in the
Middle Ages it (Arabic) was the language of learning and culture and progressive thought throughout
the civilized world. Between the 9th and 12th centuries more works, philosophical, medical, historical,
religious, astronomical and geographical, were produced through the medium of Arabic than through
any other tongue.” The European languages are indebted to Arabic for part of their vocabulary, idiom
and style. The Oxford English dictionary reveals the fact that a vast number of English words are of
Arabic origin, its alphabet has been adopted by Persian, Pushtu, Urdu, Turkish, Malay and several
other oriental languages.

ISLS-5113 Arabic through Qur’anic Text 3(3+0)
Language is at the heart of culture, and culture is the glue of society, without language, culture could
not be transmitted from one generation to the next. Language is a means of communicating thoughts,
ideas, and concepts. Through this medium, ideas are conveyed from one person to another, from one
place to another, and from the past to the present and recorded for the future. It remains as a medium
through which people express their thoughts, images, and emotions in a comprehensible manner. As
we know the significance of Arabic cannot be underestimated in the modern world. Most of the
Arabic speakers are concentrated in the middle east. People around the world revere Arabic since it is
the language of the Holy Quran. Hence Muslims, all over the world consider it sacred. The Arabic
language gained importance as a result of the spread of Islam in the 7th and 8th centuries. It is written
in the golden pages of history that Arabs have contributed immensely to the advancement of science,
medicine, and philosophy. The valuable knowledge of the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultures was
preserved for the world through the Arab libraries. Arabs have also made significant contributions in
literature, Mathematics, navigation, astrology, and architecture. Knowledge of Arabic will help us to
explore this vast body of knowledge in their original form.

ECON-5112 Introduction to Economics 3(3+0)
The course is designed for beginners with either no formal background or very little acquaintance
with economics. It develops the ability to explain core economic terms, concepts, and theories. The
objective is to give the students a clear understanding of the basic concepts, tools of analysis, and
terminologies used in microeconomics and macroeconomics. Emphasis will be on the use of graphs,
diagrams, and numerical tables/schedules for exposition. A country’s economy consists of three major
economic agents; consumers, firms, and government. Analyzing the choices made by these economic
agents is one of the main subjects of microeconomics. Students will learn how the decisions made by
economic agents are represented in the market as demand and supply of commodities. Students will
also learn about the determinants of macroeconomic conditions (national output, employment, and
inflation), aggregate supply and demand, business cycles, public finance, international trade, and
monetary and fiscal policy. The teacher is expected to draw examples from the surrounding world to
clarify the concepts.

INTR-5102 Theories of International Relations 3 (3+0)
This course is a graduate-level introduction to International Relations (IR) theory. It is structured

around three core engagements: IR as a branch of philosophical knowledge; IR as a social science;
and IR as a dimension of ‘actual existing’ world politics. The course surveys both mainstream and
critical approaches to the subject, examining how these theories conceptualize ‘the international’ as a
field of study. The course explicitly relates IR to cognate disciplines, reflects critically on the
conceptual frameworks and modes of analysis used by IR theories, and studies the co-constitutive
relationship between the theory and practice of international relations. This course offers the major
conceptual appreciation of the theory and practice of International Relations. In addition to providing
a detailed understanding of the fundamental theoretical perspectives and the issues that divide them, it
poses the question of whether it is possible to overcome the main disagreements between these
competing approaches. It tends to examine a range of important issues in contemporary international
politics and use these theoretical frameworks to provide a better understanding of these events.

ISLS-5116 Cultural History of Islam 3(3+0)
Islamic culture and Muslim culture refer to cultural practices common to historically Islamic
people. The early forms of Muslim culture, from the Rashidun Caliphate to early Umayyad
period, were predominantly Arab, Byzantine, Persian and Levantine. With the rapid expansion of
the Islamic empires, Muslim culture has influenced and assimilated much from the Persian,
Egyptian, Caucasian, Turkic, Mongol, South Asian, Malay, Somali, Berber, Indonesian, and Moro
cultures. Islamic culture generally includes all the practices which have developed around the
religion of Islam. There are variations in the application of Islamic beliefs in different cultures and
traditions. Public Islamic art is traditionally non-representational, except for the widespread use of
plant forms, usually in varieties of the spiraling arabesque. Manuscripts of the Qur'an and other
sacred texts have always been strictly kept free of such figures, but there is a long tradition of the
depiction of Muhammad and other religious figures in books of history and poetry; since the 20th
century, Muhammad has mostly been shown as though wearing a veil hiding his face, and many
earlier miniatures were overpainted to use this convention.

101 to nearly 200 A.H. This is the period of the Tabiun, the disciples of the companions of the
Prophet. The fourth stage is roughly from 200 A.H. to 300 A.H. This is the period of Taba Tabiun, the
disciples of the disciples. During the life of the Prophet, some companions had, however, prepared
written collections of traditions for their personal use. Those companions, in particular, who had
weaker memories used to write them down for memorizing and preservation. It was later incorporated
into the larger collection of Imam Ahmad ibn Hambal. Anas, a young Madinan, was the Prophet’s
attendant. Since Anas remained with the Prophet day and night, he had greater opportunities than the
other companions to listen to his words. Ali ibn Abi Talib was one of the scribes of the Prophet. The
Prophet once dictated to him and he wrote on a large piece of parchment on both sides. He also had a
sahifa (pamphlet) from the Prophet which was on zakat (the poor-due) and taxes.

ISLS-5118 Study of Islamic Fiqh-I 3(3+0)
The course includes a study of the selected text of Ahmad bin Muhammad's renowned book "Al-
Qadoori". Mukhtaṣar (Arabic: ‫)المختصر‬, in Islamic law, refers to a concise handbook of legal treatises ,
characterized by neatness and clarity. Mukhtasars originated during the Abbasid caliphate and were
created as a method to facilitate the quick training of lawyers without the repetitiveness of lengthy
volumes, yet evolved into a mode of access into the fundamentals of Islamic law for the educated
layperson. Some well-known mukhtasars include the Mukhtasar of Khalil, by the Egyptian Maliki
scholar Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (died 1365), and the Mukhtasar al-Quduri, by Hanafi scholar Imam
al-Quduri. Fiqh (Arabic: ‫[ فقه‬fɪqh]) is Islamic jurisprudence. A faqīh must look deep down into a
matter and not suffice himself with just the apparent meaning, and a person who only knows the
appearance of a matter is not qualified as a faqīh. The studies of fiqh, are traditionally divided into
Uṣūl al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence, lit. the roots of fiqh), the methods of legal
interpretation and analysis; and Furūʿ al-fiqh (lit. the branches of fiqh), the elaboration of rulings
based on these principles.

ISL- 6210 History of Tafsir and its Principles 3(3+0)
Tafsir refers to the interpretation of Quran. The first examples of Tafsir can be traced back to
Muhammad. According to Islamic belief, as the Quran was revealed to him, he recited the verses to
his companions, usually explaining their meanings to teach them, as it was one of Muhammad's
responsibilities. This course studies the history and development of Tafsir in Muslim thought

post-Prophetic Periods, early differences between different Muslim schools and their approaches to
the Quran, the variety of approaches and important works in classical Tafsir, and modern-day Tafsīr

ISL- 6212 Textual Study of Al-Ḥadīth 1 3(3+0)
Ḥadīth is considered as a second source of Islamic Shariah. Hadith is integral to the Qur’an, since they
are inseparably linked to each other. It is impossible to understand the Quran without Hadith. Quran is
the message, and the Hadith is the explanation of the message by the Messenger himself. It is used in
a very wide sense as including not only the decisions and percepts of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬but also his
conduct and practice. Ḥadīth of the Prophet has been compiled in various books. Among these books,
some books have been considered as most authentic within Sunni Muslims. This course covers the
different textual portions of most of these important and authentic books like Bukhari, Muslim,
Mu’atta, Tirmidhi, Abūdawud, IbnMaja, Nisai, Mustadrak.

ISL -6213 Usul al-Fiqh 3(3+0)
Usul al-Fiqh and Fiqh Studies explore the principles and the complexities of Islamic Jurisprudence in
a way that is relevant to the modern context. The main emphasis of this course is that for one to be
competent in jurisprudence he or she has to be constantly researching, thinking and exploring and that
it is not enough to be just relying on a certain sets of books to formulate jurisprudential rulings. This
is illustrated by the lives and works of the great jurists of Islam throughout the centuries. Many of
these jurists are considered to be great thinkers who are independent and at the same time God-
fearing. This course is suitable for those who are looking for a holistic understanding of Usul al-Fiqh
and Fiqh. It covers the principles using both modern and classical texts as well as exploring other
classical texts of the fiqh and Usul al-fiqh to understand the thinking of the authors in the context of
their time. These works show how brilliant and advanced these imams were and how far we have
lagged in our ways by just following the books without thinking. This course will help students to
rekindle the spirit of intellectual rigor and scholarly integrity.

ISLS-6214 Ulum al Hadith 3(3+0)
The Muslims are agreed that the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the second of the
two revealed fundamental sources of Islam, after the Glorious Qur'an. The authentic Sunnah is
contained within the vast body of Hadith literature. A hadith is composed of two parts: the Matn (text)
and the isnad (chain of reporters). A text may seem to be logical and reasonable but it needs an
authentic isnad with reliable reporters to be acceptable; Abdullah b. al - Mubarak (d.181AH), one of
the illustrious teachers of Imam al-Bukhari, said, “The isnad is part of the religion: had it not been for
the isnad, whoever wished to would have said whatever he liked. “During the lifetime of the Prophet
(P.B.U.H) and after his death, his Companions (Sahabah) used to refer to him directly, when quoting
his sayings. The Successors (Tabi'un) followed suit; some of them used to quote the Prophet
(P.B.U.H) through the Companions while others would omit the intermediate authority – such a
hadith was later known as Mursal. It was found that the missing link between the Successor and the
Prophet (P.B.U.H) might be one person, i.e. a Companion, or two people, the extra person being an
older Successor who heard the hadith from the Companion. This is an example of how the need for
the verification of each isnad arose; Imam Malik (d.179) said, “The first one to utilize the isnad was
Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri.” (d.124).

ISLS-6215 Textual Study of Muslim Family Laws 3(3+0)
Muslim Personal Law is the branch of private law that applies to family life (marriage, divorce and
maintenance) and the associated matters such as disposal of property inter Vivo (gifts, waqf and trust)

understanding of the principles and practices of Islamic family law and to critically engage with
contemporary debates about its application in the modern world. To achieve this end, Bidayat al-
Mujtahid has been specified to highlight the distinguishing features of Islamic family law. By the end
of this course, the students will be able to evaluate family laws in Islam and Pakistan assessing the

ISLS- 6217 Ethics of Disagreement in Islam 3(3+0)
The Ethics of Disagreement may be perceived as an explanation of the etiquette envisioned by Islam
for all those engaged in discourse and intellectual dialogue. To a great extent, the book is an
exposition of the higher principles and purposes of the Shari'ah which provide Muslims with
perspectives far vaster than those afforded by the pedantic debate over points of law and procedure, or
fine distinctions between conflicting theological arguments. Experience has shown that long
immersion in such futile debate often renders the mind incapable of comprehending real situations
and making value judgments on changing circumstances. Certainly, the differences between those
early scholars never led them to lose sight of the higher purposes of the Shari'ah or their
responsibilities. Although this book may more appropriately be titled "The Ethics of Disagreement
between the Classical Jurists", it nonetheless serves as a useful introduction to the subject of
disagreement in general. It also lays down for contemporary Muslims many commendable examples
for forbearance and understanding on the part of some of the greatest personalities and scholars in
Muslim history. The course is consequently aimed at revival of the spirit that allows contemporary
Muslims to look forward to the future with hope.

ISLS-6220 Al- Dawah wal Irshad 3(3+0)
Islam is the last of the revealed religions and the Qura’an is the ultimate word of Almighty Allah,
revealed upon His last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Since Islam is the last message of the
Creator, it had been made obligatory to all the followers, scholars and students alike, to preach the
holy message to all who are ignorant, living in the dark, disregard of color and creed. So, it becomes
very important for all the Muslims to act both ways, to be a good Muslim and to be a good preacher,
to preach their fellow Muslim brothers to learn and understand the real teachings and training of Islam
to become a better Muslim. On the other hand. a good Muslim is to preach the real teachings of Islam
to Non-Muslims the followers of other religions, the infidels, the Non-believers or the heretics. The
course aims at preparing the students for a great job of a preach to become a good, ideal Muslim first,
to reflect the characteristics of a Muslim preacher to have sound and comprehensive understanding of
the subject, to argue and counter-argue, develop patience, clarity of thought and a good way of
expression.

ISLS-6228 Philosophy and Ilm ul-Kalam 3 (3+0)
'Ilm al-kalam, a discipline which brings to the service of religious beliefs ('aqa'id) discursive
arguments; which thus provides a place for consideration, and hence for reason, in the elucidation and
defense of the content of the faith. Muslim philosophy and Ilm al-Kalam has gone through numerous
developments since its emergence as a discipline in the 2nd century of Hijra. The significant
advancement of ilm al-kalam appeared in the 11th century when al- Ghazali introduced Aristotelian
logic into it. in order to cope with the rapid development of sciences and philosophy posed by the
World, ilm al-kalam needed a substantial methodological change. As a speculative discipline and
religious science, ilm al-kalam applied the methodology of reasoning to acquire the knowledge of
faith. The use of rational evidence to understand matters in religious faith has influenced Muslim
thinkers to get more and more benefits through this science. The study of Ilm al-kalam is still relevant
and meaningful in the modern period of time. At the end of the course students should have gained a
broader understanding of 'Ilm al-kalamin general. It takes its readers how to stand against 'doubters
and deniers', and its role as producing a logical perception of Muslim creed. Students should have
gained an understanding of Islamic theology or Ilmu al-Kalam, to comprehend faith and religion by
logical reasoning (rational proof and evidence) instead of relying on revealed texts. Through these
techniques, they will be enabling to prove the origins of faith and basis of religion.

ISLS-6229 The Golden Age of Muslims 3 (3+0)
This course is designed to have a profound look into the splendid era of golden academic and
scientific uplift of Muslim civilization, focusing on the primary Abbasid period where caliphs

of Muslims”, throughout the history of Muslim civilization. Through a vigorous translation
movement, on the one hand, preservation of knowledge came into the surface and on the other hand,
scholars contributed novel insights in their fields and eventually passed their discoveries along to
Europe. Some reflections will be rendered showing historical memory to produce this notion of a
golden age and safeguard its durable bequest. After the completion of the course the students will
have an understating about the various phases of the history of Muslim civilization before and after
the establishment of Baghdad, knowledge about the socio-political elements of the golden age,

ISLS-6230 Study of Tasawwuf 3 (3+0)
Tasawwuf considered the most significant and central area of study. It is a self-determining field of
study: having a specific nature, its questions and problems, even its language and terminology, are
needed to be understood. Tasawwuf is not merely a theoretical subject rather, it is a matter of spiritual
experience reaching depths in which spiritual manifestations and behaviors are rooted. Tasawwuf is a
human phenomenon. It could be stated that it emerged in every civilization in some form or other and
can be expressed as a desire of the soul to purify itself and its desire to free itself of material
constraints. Muslims are not an exception to this rule since mysticism manifested in Islam just as it
did in the cultures of those who preceded Islam. Mysticism is humanity’s attempt to arm the soul with
spiritual values that help people to overcome material existence and it gives them spiritual balance to
confront the difficulties of life. Tasawwuf is a part of Islam’s great heritage and, in another aspect,
continues to exist in the lives of Muslims today. Both aspects require serious study from students of
Islamic studies so that they try to bring out the positive elements in it without overshadowing them by
negative things.

ISL -6213 Usul al-Fiqh 3(3+0)
Usul al-Fiqh and Fiqh Studies explore the principles and the complexities of Islamic Jurisprudence in
a way that is relevant to the modern context. The main emphasis of this course is that for one to be
competent in jurisprudence he or she has to be constantly researching, thinking and exploring and that
it is not enough to be just relying on a certain set of books to formulate jurisprudential rulings. This is
illustrated by the lives and works of the great jurists of Islam throughout the centuries. Many of these
jurists are considered to be great thinkers who are independent and at the same time God-fearing. This
course is suitable for those who are looking for a holistic understanding of Usul al-Fiqh and Fiqh. It
covers the principles using both modern and classical texts as well as exploring other classical texts of
the fiqh and usul al-fiqh to understand the thinking of the authors in the context of their time. These
works show how brilliant and advanced these imams were and how far we have lagged in our ways by
just following the books without thinking. This course will help students to rekindle the spirit of
intellectual rigor and scholarly integrity.

ISLS- 6217 Ethics of Disagreement in Islam 3(3+0)
The Ethics of Disagreement may be perceived as an explanation of the etiquette envisioned by Islam
for all those engaged in discourse and intellectual dialogue. To a great extent, the book is an
exposition of the higher principles and purposes of the Shari'ah which provide Muslims with
perspectives far vaster than those afforded by the pedantic debate over points of law and procedure, or
fine distinctions between conflicting theological arguments. Experience has shown that long
immersion in such futile debate often renders the mind incapable of comprehending real situations
and making value judgments on changing circumstances. Certainly, the differences between those
early scholars never led them to lose sight of the higher purposes of the Shari'ah or their
responsibilities. Although this book may more appropriately be titled "The Ethics of Disagreement
between the Classical Jurists", it nonetheless serves as a useful introduction to the subject of
disagreement in general. It also lays down for contemporary Muslims many commendable examples
for forbearance and understanding on the part of some of the greatest personalities and scholars in
Muslim history. The course is consequently aimed at revival of the spirit that allows contemporary
Muslims to look forward to the future with hope.

ISLS-6220 Al- Dawah wal Irshad 3(3+0)
Islam is the last of the revealed religions and the Qura’an is the ultimate word of Almighty Allah,
revealed upon His last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Since Islam is the last message of the
Creator, it had been made obligatory to all the followers, scholars and students alike, to preach the
holy message to all who are ignorant, living in the dark, disregard of color and creed. So, it becomes
very important for all the Muslims to act both ways, to be a good Muslim and to be a good preacher,
to preach their fellow Muslim brothers to learn and understand the real teachings and training of Islam
to become a better Muslim. On the other hand. a good Muslim is to preach the real teachings of Islam
to Non-Muslims the followers of other religions, the infidels, the Non-believers or the heretics. The
course aims at preparing the students for a great job of a preach to become a good, ideal Muslim first,
to reflect the characteristics of a Muslim preacher to have sound and comprehensive understanding of
the subject, to argue and counter-argue, develop patience, clarity of thought and a good way of
expression.

ISLS-6228 Phiosophy and Ilm al-Kalam 3 (3+0)
'Ilm al-kalam, a discipline which brings to the service of religious beliefs ('aqa'id) discursive
arguments; which thus provides a place for consideration, and hence for reason, in the elucidation and
defense of the content of the faith. Muslim philosophy and Ilm al-Kalam has gone through numerous
developments since its emergence as a discipline in the 2nd century of Hijra. The significant
advancement of ilm al-kalam appeared in the 11th century when al- Ghazali introduced Aristotelian
logic into it. in order to cope with the rapid development of sciences and philosophy posed by the
World, ilm al-kalam needed a substantial methodological change. As a speculative discipline and
religious science, ilm al-kalam applied the methodology of reasoning to acquire the knowledge of
faith. The use of rational evidence to understand matters in religious faith has influenced Muslim
thinkers to get more and more benefits through this science. The study of Ilm al-kalam is still relevant
and meaningful in the modern period of time. At the end of the course, students should have gained a
broader understanding of 'Ilm al-kalamin general. It takes its readers how to stand against 'doubters
and deniers', and its role as producing a logical perception of Muslim creed. Students should have
gained an understanding of Islamic theology or Ilmu al-Kalam, to comprehend faith and religion by
logical reasoning (rational proof and evidence) instead of relying on revealed texts. Through these
techniques, they will be enabled to prove the origins of faith and the basis of religion.

ISLS-6229 The Golden Age of Muslims 3 (3+0)
This course is designed to have a profound look into the splendid era of golden academic and
scientific uplift of Muslim civilization, focusing on the primary Abbasid period where caliphs
established “Bait al-Hikmah” or house of wisdom in the city of Baghdad in the second half of 8th
century. It later on became an epicenter of learning and the hub of what is known as the “Golden Age
of Muslims”, throughout the history of Muslim civilization. Through a vigorous translation
movement, on the one hand, preservation of knowledge came into the surface and on the other hand,
scholars contributed novel insights in their fields and eventually passed their discoveries along to
Europe. Some reflections will be rendered showing historical memory to produce this notion of a
golden age and safeguard its durable bequest. After the completion of the course the students will
have an understating about the various phases of the history of Muslim civilization before and after
the establishment of Baghdad, knowledge about the socio-political elements of the golden age,
familiarize the students how Caliphs established Baghdad as the hub of the academia in the world,
know and determine the golden age and reasons of uplift of Muslim civilization, ways and means of
scholars living in Baghdad translated Greek texts and made scientific discoveries.

ISLS-6230 Study of Tasawwuf 3 (3+0)
Tasawwuf considered the most significant and central area of study. It is a self-determining field of
study: having a specific nature, its questions and problems, even its language and terminology, are
needed to be understood. Tasawwuf is not merely a theoretical subject rather, it is a matter of spiritual
experience reaching depths in which spiritual manifestations and behaviors are rooted. Tasawwuf is a
human phenomenon. It could be stated that it emerged in every civilization in some form or other and
can be expressed as a desire of the soul to purify itself and its desire to free itself of material
constraints. Muslims are not an exception to this rule since mysticism manifested in Islam just as it
did in the cultures of those who preceded Islam. Mysticism is humanity’s attempt to arm the soul with
spiritual values that help people to overcome material existence and it gives them spiritual balance to
confront the difficulties of life. Tasawwuf is a part of Islam’s great heritage and, in another aspect,
continues to exist in the lives of Muslims today. Both aspects require serious study from students of
Islamic studies so that they try to bring out the positive elements in it without overshadowing them by
negative things.

ISL-906 Study of Hadith 3(3+0)
some books have been considered as most authentic within Sunni Muslims. The history of the
compilation of Hadith may be broadly divided into four stages. During the life of the Prophet, some
companions had, however, prepared written collections of traditions for their own personal use. Those
companions, in particular, who had weaker memories used to write them down for memorizing and
preservation. These were also dictated to their disciples. Then there were those companions who had
administrative offices arranged for written copies of traditions so that they might carry out their duties
in the true spirit of Islam. The course has been designed to highlight the preservation and compilation
history of Hadith and its textual structure at the same time. This course covers the different textual
portions of most of these important and authentic books like Bukhari, Muslim, Mu’atta, Tirmidhi,
Abūdawud , IbnMaja, Nisai, Mustadrak.

ISL-907 Islam & Orientalists 3(3+0)
Debates on the relationship between Islam and the West rage on, from talk of clashing civilizations to
political pacification, from ethical and historical perspectives to distrust, xenophobia and fear. Here an
argues that the events of 9/11 force us to engage ourselves fully, without preconditions, in
understanding not just the history of Islam as a religion, but of Islam as a historical condition that has
existed in relationship to the West since the seventh century. As a compares the Arab-Islamic and
European tradition of historical thought since the early modern period, focusing on the watershed
moments that informed the two traditions' ideas of intellectual history and perceptions of one another.
He draws attention to European intellectual history's entangled links with the Islamic philosophy of
history, especially the complexities of orientalism and modernity. Recent critical reflections on the
work of Ibn Khaldun confirm this intertwined and troubled relationship, reflecting major disparities
and contradictions. At the same time, recent Arab writings on Europe's intellectual history reveal a
struggle against erasure and intellectual superiority. The Course has been designed to highlight the
contribution of Orientalists to words Islamic Sciences & An attentive look into the methodology of
Orientalists while criticizing the Islamic Texts.
