Conclusion
The movement of Islamization of Knowledge backed by significant human and financial means proposes to figure in what has become known as the “Islamic awakening”. Its exponents take their leaf from medieval thinker Ibn Taymiyyah[1] whose philosophy was influenced by the 13th century caliphate's crisis and to whom one IIIT founder Taha Jabir Fayyad Alwani has dedicated a book: Ibn Taymiyah wa-Islamiyat al-marifah (Ibn Tamiyyah and the Islamization of knowledge). Its axiological basis is the impossibility of separating the Quranic text from the aspects of life. Its aim is to refound the sciences as a whole but with a focus on human and social sciences. Indeed its advocates dispute altogether the premises, the methodology and the conclusions of the disciplines concerned, notably when their subject is the Muslim faith, the Islamic civilisation or predominantly Muslim societies.
