Topic & Synopsis:
Topic 1 by Dr. Adi Setia Md. Dom: Kalam of the Age (Kalam
al-'Asr): A Neo- Ghazzlan,Attasian Perspective
Synopsis: This talk touches on the conceptual and operational
relevance of the new theologicaldialectics developed by al-Ghazzl
in his Tahafut for our current efforts to articulate an
effectiveDe-Westernization and Islamization of the sciences,
especially as applied by Professor SyedMuhammad al-Attas in his
exposition of the Worldview of Islam, and of Islam's engagementwith
secularism. Some particular case-studies in medicine, agriculture,
economics, physics,mathematics are brought up to substantiate the
thesis of relevance.
Topic 2 byDr Mohd Zaidi Ismail: Al-Ghazzl on Thinking: The
Tawd-and-Adab-OrientedApproach
-

3/3
Synopsis: This talk seeks to highlight two important lessons
pertaining to the tawd-and-adab-oriented approach to thinking which
can be derived from al-Ghazzls major works, one of themconcerning
the relation between memorizing and thinking while the other having
to do with therelation between creative and critical modes of
thinking.
Topic 3 by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ssekamanya Siraje
Abdullah:Islamization of ContemporaryKnowledge: Lessons from
al-Ghazali's Encounter with Greek Philosophy
Muslim societies today are threatened by Western technological,
intellectual and culturalhegemony which both results from and
further enhances globalization. Islamization ofknowledge was
suggested by Muslim scholars as one of the ways of facing the
intellectualchallenges of western theories and methodologies.
However, with the exception of theIslamization approach of Prof.
Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas which is rooted in the
Islamicintellectual tradition, particulary in the works of the Sufi
masters, most Islamization efforts couldbe characterised as shallow
and somehow detached from the intellectual history of Muslims.Based
on a critical examination of the life and works of al-Ghazali, this
study argues that al-Ghazali's approach should be taken as the
model for today's Islamizers if their efforts are to bearany
positive fruits. His approach in facing the challenge of falsafa
(which epitomized all of thealien sciences and methodologies)
emphasized the necessity of mastering the alien sciencesbefore
critically analyzing and rejecting whatever is contrary to the
basic principles of Islamwhile adopting whatever agrees with the
Islamic teachings and is deemed useful for Muslims.
