| | Islamic philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Islamic philosophy (الفلسفة الإسلامية) is a part of the Islamic studies, and is a longstanding attempt to create harmony between faith, reason or philosophy, and the religious teachings of Islam. | | | The main sources of classical or early Islamic philosophy are the religion of Islam itself - especially ideas derived and interpreted from Quran - and the Greek philosophical heritage which the early Muslims inherited as a result of conquests when Alexandria, Syria and Jundishapur came under Muslim rule. | | | The tradition of Islamic Philosophy is still very alive today despite the beliefs of many Western cycles considering this tradition to have abruptly ceased after the golden ages of Mulla Sadra’s doctrine and Suhrawardi’s (Mulla Sadra’s doctrine is called Hikmat-e-Mota’aliye or Transcendent (Exalted) Philosophy and Suhrawardi’s as Hikmat al-Ishraq or Illumination Philosophy). |

| | He argued that the basis of Islamic revival was the return to the intellectual dynamism that was the hallmark of the Islamic scholarly tradition (these ideas are outlined in Revival and Reform in Islam: A Study of Islamic Fundamentalism and his magnum opus, Islam). | | | Some of his ideas from English (which he claimed were from the Islamic tradition) were reprinted in Urdu and caused outrage among conservative Muslim scholars in Pakistan. | | | Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi who is credited with creating modern Islamist political thought in the 20th century, argued that science was itself merely re-discovering that all matter and energy obeys laws, and that Kafir claims that humankind was free of obligation to comprehend and obey such laws, had to be resisted by Muslims. |

| | REL 164 - ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY |
| | Both philosophy and theology have been an important part of modern Islamic intellectual discourse as many Muslim scholars have attempted to revive Islamic intellectual tradition on the basis of classical philosophy and theology on the one hand, and modern philosophical movements, on the other. | | | We shall first attempt to answer the question of what Islamic philosophy and theology is and how they figure in the larger context of Islamic religion. | | | Ian Netton, Allah Transcendent: Studies in the Structure and Semiotics of Islamic Philosophy, Theology, and Cosmology, (London: Routledge, 1989). |

| | Islamic philosophy : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online |
| | Islamic philosophy has always had a rather difficult relationship with the Islamic sciences, those techniques for answering theoretical questions which are closely linked with the religion of Islam, comprising law, theology, language and the study of the religious texts themselves. | | | The argument was often that a higher level of understanding of reality can be attained by those prepared to develop their religious consciousness outside of the framework of traditional religion, a view which was supported and became part of a highly sophisticated account of the links between religion and reason as created by Ibn Rushd. | | | This had a particularly strong influence on ethics (see Ethics in Islamic philosophy), where there was much debate between objectivists and subjectivists, with the latter arguing that an action is just if and only if God says that it is just. |

Islamic philosophy is and continues to be, even in the twentieth century, fundamentally medieval in spirit and outlook. | | | What the bearers of the new Islamic discourse reject, in effect, are both the presumed centrality and universalism of the West, as well as its imperialism, which is closely linked to its claim of centrality. | | | (This means that the traditional form of Islamic faith was in a very critical condition at the time.) This realization is possibly related to his criticism of Islamic philosophy. |

| | According to Karen Armstrong they came to the conclusion that rationalism represented the most advanced form of religion, and that it had evolved a higher notion of God than what was revealed in the scriptures. | | | Since revealed truth is manifest through symbols, he concluded that one religion could not be suitable for all people and in any case is subordinate to philosophy. | | | That was, that if there is a discrepancy between truths determined by philosophy and revelation then both were true. |

| | There are many good reasons for doing this, not least the fact that Greek philosophy is the common denominator between Western and Islamic medieval translators who first made Islamic philosophy known in the West and who chose certain words (Latin, of course) to translate Arabic technical terms. | | | Those who have studied Islamic philosophy in the original languages often find that the use of heavy duty Latin and Greek tends to obscure points that seem abundantly clear in the original. | | | Ibn Sina (Avicenna) (980-1037) is one of the foremost philosophers of the golden age of Islamic tradition that also includes al-Farabi and Ibn Rushd. |

| | One of the Islamic philosophers, al-Razi, who, as I mentioned before, died in 923 A.D., was outspoken in his rejection of revealed religion and prophecy. | | | What we call Islamic or Arabic philosophy is then a continuation and revival of the late Greek philosophical tradition undertaken by people who were nominally Muslims and who used Arabic instead instead of Greek and Syriac. | | | The practical branches of philosophy, that is, ethics, economics, and politics, deal with the means by which all humans in a society can achieve this perfection, free themselves from the world of matter, and thus attain to supreme happiness after death. |

| | Contrary to the opinions of the modern fundamentalists, Islam, in its origins, was not equivalent to the worship of ignorance and narrow-minded fanaticism. | | | In complete contrast to what passed for philosophy in the universities of medieval Europe, where it was utterly subservient to the Catholic Church, Islamic philosophy was not a handmaid of theology. | | | The formative period of Islamic philosophy dates from the late 8th century to the mid-9th century. |
