The present work aims to clarify these misunderstandings by exploring the meaning, scope and methodology of Islamization of Knowledge. It deals with the term, concept, perception, principles and work plan of the movement. The book traces its historical background in which the concept and the movement were initially developed and clarifies some aspects of it. This allows readers to better understand the philosophical foundation of the Islamization of Knowledge movement. It introduces the important institutions and pioneers who had identified the necessity of the movement and also contributed towards its conceptualization. It helps readers in identifying and articulating the central theme and facilitates them to better analyze, evaluate and comprehend the full range of 'Islamization of Knowledge'. It also explains the need for the Islamization of religious sciences.
