Full text linkIt is a pleasure to write the editorial for the current volume of Bangladesh Journal of Islamic Thought (BJIT). BJIT being a multilingual journal, the articles of this issue are written in different languages—three in English, one in Bangla and one in Arabic. Mathematics is the very important discipline of knowledge which has a minimal bias and strong sense in ethical orientation. Nor Jannah Hassan et al. in her article titled “Inculcating Islamic Manners through Mathematics Courses for Students with Visual Impairments” highlights the importance of Islamic faith which forms the foundation of good manners through Mathematics courses. The article analyses and discusses Islamic manners towards the Creator, fellow human being and the environment. The findings suggest that the inculcation of Islamic manners in teaching and learning Mathematics, particularly for students with visual impairment, could help to become knowledgeable, skillful, well-mannered, responsible and trustworthy citizens who would thus ultimately contribute to the development of the nation. Nationalism stirred the social and political thinking during the past two centuries over the world and the Islamic world was not an exception to this reality. The article on “Nationalism in the Muslim World and the Identity Crisis: A Sociological Perspective” by Jakir Al Faruki investigates the prevailing condition of the explanation about the socio-political concept of nationhood and nationality in the Muslim world. The article analyzes the concept of nationalism on the ground of sociopolitical reality. It undertakes an effort to clarify the ambiguous understanding about the various dimensions of Nationalism. The study also distinguishs the concepts between Western Nationalism, Muslim Nationalism and Ummah in Islam

The Role of Universities towards Islamization of Knowledge: The IIUM as A Model
Full text linkThis paper highlights the concept of Islamization of knowledge (IOK) and elaborates the role of universities toward achieving that particular goal. Islamization of Knowledge still needs to be understood and delved with a deeper insight. Therefore, it is necessary to elaborate this concept and develop its methodology if it is to serve its purpose in finding out the solution to the malaise facing the ummah. One of the most important malaises confronting the ummah is the existence of educational dualism (secularreligious) in the Muslim societies that has resulted in its economic backwardness, political regression and intellectual retardation. The theory of Islamization of knowledge has been developed having some significant goals, namely to produce skilled future leaders with knowledge in true Islamic sense. In this purpose, Islamizing the disciplines, producing text books and having the institutional support with the vision of Islam is of utmost import. The fact that the role and the contribution of the Universities toward developing this idea and achieving its goals are of special significance, International Islamic University Malaysia can be the model for the others to emulate. Even since its inception, this university has taken on this challenge and today it is one of the main and most important centres of Islamization of Knowledge project in the Islamic world. The current study also focuses on how IIUM contributes to this project and it could be the model for others. It concludes with some suggestions toward contributing to this project as a university in general and as an Islamic university in particular. The methodology applied in the study is critical and analytical

This paper with an aim to provide Da‘wah is an attempt to establish a bond between poetry and Islamic view regarding to the importance of soul and spiritual development so that today’s people will be inspired to grab the celestial light that illuminates life with heavenly bliss and peace

An Objective Study on Some Aspects of Shah Waliullah & Sayyid Abul A’La Mawdudi’s Thought
No full textThis paper aims to undertake an objective study on some aspects of Shah Waliullah (1703-1762) and Sayyid Abul A\u27la Mawdudi\u27s (1903-1979) thought. Both are ranked among those great muslim thinkers who by virtue of their knowledge and activities helped reconstruct the religious and political thought in Islam. The famous eighteenth century Islamic scholar, Waliullah formed a bridge between mediaeval and modern Islam in India. He was a socio-political reformer; a great \u27alim, a sufi, a mujaddid and a da\u27i. This study reveals that Sayyid Mawdudi, the famous Islamic scholar of 20 th century was greatly influenced by the thought and teachings of Waliullah. Like Waliullah, he presented Islam as a complete code of life with solutions to all problems faced by mankind. In the line of Waliullah\u27s thought, he chalked out a strategy to establish an Islamic state. Following the footstep of Waliullah, he waged a pouierfui movement to translate Islamic ideology into a realizable term and to construct socio-political life in accordance with it. However, Mawdudi did not accept Waliullah\u27s thought uncritically. He disagreed with Waliullah on the several issues including that of Tasawwuf. Yet, similarities in their thoughts are overwhelming. Both initiated a process of socio-political change, inspired by Islamic ideal, in an age, which was becoming increasingly secular in their respective eras
