Key research themes

1. How did Islamic scholars conceptualize and integrate the study of nature and science within an Islamic worldview during the Golden Age of Islam?

This research theme explores the philosophical, theological, and scientific foundations laid by Muslim scholars during the Islamic Golden Age (7th to 15th centuries). It investigates how the Islamic conception of nature and divine signs motivated empirical observation, scientific inquiry, and knowledge production, leading to original contributions in mathematics, medicine, optics, astronomy, and related fields. Understanding this integration is essential for appreciating the historic role of Islam in shaping global scientific paradigms and its epistemological frameworks.

3. How do Islamic interpretive sciences (Tafsir) and philosophical thought contribute to theological discourse and responses to modern challenges including misinformation?

This research theme covers the exegesis of Qur'anic texts with a focus on authentic interpretation to counter misinformation, the development of Islamic comparative theology, and the philosophical inquiry into fundamental Islamic beliefs such as causality and existence. It also extends to hermeneutic strategies for addressing contemporary social issues through Islamic scripture, reflecting how traditional Islamic sciences evolve and contribute to intellectual resilience in modern contexts.
