| Summary: | Islamization of knowledge, though began with the first revelation of
the Qur’an, assumed the position of a movement in the 1980s. Since then,
scholars have developed models to Islamize knowledge and new institutions
have been developed to put these ideas into practice. Based upon documentary
evidence and content analysis of the existing literature, this study analyzes the
growth and development of this project and measures the achievements in the
form of scholarly outputs and man-power development. It is found that the
project did make some headway but it failed in many respects. The challenges
faced by Muslims in their efforts to Islamize knowledge are numerous and
requires concerted effort to make education really Islamic. |
