In Pursuit of New Knowledge: Science, Tradition, and Renewal

January 17, 2021 Seminar/Webinar Comments Off on In Pursuit of New Knowledge: Science, Tradition, and Renewal

A week-long engagement from 5 to 11 April, 2017 of students of the online research-oriented program “Advancing scientific and theological literacy in madrasa discourses”

IRST was founded for an earnest purpose. Provoking to revive intellectual awareness based on Islamic rationalism within the Muslim community, it prefers not to engage in national politics. Unless the emergence of an intellectual renaissance is not produced among Muslims; they will not play their role in the contemporary world. For an intellectual renaissance, we need the development of Islamic thought. In this context, the promotion of a moderate Islamic view is needed. As moderation is the spirit of Islam, its importance is repeatedly emphasised in Islam. In front of Islamic thought, there are several socio-political issues to be responded. We are part of a global and multi-cultural society which has its specific needs and challenges. For Muslim scholars, it is crucial to understand those needs and challenges. We want to make aware the representative generation of Islamic thought to understand those challenges so that a society whose beliefs in practical aspects of human values and peaceful-co-existence could be imagined and provide a constructive role in nation-building. It is a small step, but in the beginning, every effort seems small. If determinations are strong and aims are high, the same efforts may come up with extraordinary results. We request you to be part of our efforts.
