Signs in the Heavens
Many scientists have come to realize that science and religion can nurture each other. One example was the flowering of science in the first centuries of Islam. For Dr. Imad-ad-Dean Ahmad, a Muslim and an astronomer, studying the universe is an expression of faith. Scientists and non-scientists should appreciate the insights in this passionate and lucid book. Dr. Ahmad's book has been widely acclaimed for its insights into the Islamic approach to science and the spiritual foundations of Western scientists such as Galileo, Newton and Einstein. A Palestinian trained at Harvard, he offers a unique perspective of the role of religion in science.
Directory of Policy Experts on Islamic Studies & Muslim Affairs 2009
Since the tragic 9/11 attacks, issues directly relating to Muslims and Islam have been major and urgent topics in American policy and academic discourse. Yet there are few people who have a meaningful familiarity with these subjects; even fewer are actual experts with authentic knowledge of the relevant subjects. Although this inaugural directory is by no means comprehensive, it does provide a strong list of experts with individually deep and collectively broad knowledge of policy issues relating to Islam and Muslims. Many are Muslims and those who are not have demonstrated their contextualized understanding of their areas of expertise. This is invaluable at a time when persons with cursory or de-contextualized knowledge of Islam profess expertise.

The Qur'an and the Sunnah
For too long now, the Qur’an and the Sunnah, great sources of strength, purity, knowledge and inspiration for the Ummah, have not been adequately tapped. Skirting their peripheries or over-dwelling on one or two of their multifarious facets and tributaries has done a disservice to the immense potential of the fountainhead, while denying the Ummah- indeed the whole world- innumerable benefits from them. Now that the Ummah is becoming increasingly aware of its own problems as well as latent powers, and yearns to revive its leading role in the forging of history and cilization, the issue of drawing on the wellspring becomes more relevant and urgent. Revisiting these two sources is no longer a...

Islamization of Knowledge
Islamization of Knowledge is a process aimed at regaining the Ummah's intellectual and civilizational identity after centuries of intellectual stagnation, which led to an unfortunate discrepancy between the Islamic worldview and its thought.The onslaught on the Muslim world has contributed to magnifying this discrepancy, leading to a duality that governs much of the Muslim intellectual activity today. A consensus however exists that the major area to start Islamizing is that of the social sciences. But for the Ummah to regain intellectual originality, Islamization must be carried out at the crucial theoretical level before moving on to the equally important but more complex practical one.Dr. Khalil argues that Islamization of Knowledge should not start from a vacuum but must pay due attention to Islam's wealth of intellectual legacy, which, he points out, even Western scholars have come to consider as intrinsic to the history of modern intellectual thought.
