Qur'anic Cosmology in the Works of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, Ibn al-'Arabi, and Sayyid Qutb: towards a moral reading
| Today cosmology is increasingly identified as a hard science that studies the physical make-up of the universe. This approach significantly differs from the traditional understanding of cosmology, which presupposes the inseparable connection between human beings and the cosmos, and in which the cosmos contains a moral dimension. |
Justice in Classical Islamic Thought: The Perspectives of Al-Mawardi, Miskawayh and Ibn Taymiyya
| The present study addresses the concept of justice during the classical period. It analyzes and compares the discourse of al-Mäwardi, Miskawayh and ibn Taymiyya on justice and its application. These scholars were particularly chosen because they represent different trends and epistemological frameworks in the Islamic tradition. This will help in having a somewhat comprehensive understanding of how pre- modern scholars perceived justice. |
