Reclaiming Islam's Intellectual Legacy: A Call to Decolonise Islamic Thought and Knowledge
A growing movement is calling for a reappraisal of Islam's intellectual legacy to reclaim its contributions to global thought and knowledge. This decolonization effort seeks to challenge dominant Western narratives and showcase Islamic scholars' significant contributions to various fields.
A growing movement calls for reclaiming Islam's intellectual legacy by addressing the historical marginalization of Muslim thinkers in Western academia and reformist discussions around decolonisation. This shift aims to centre Muslim perspectives and contributions on decolonial thought, promoting a more inclusive understanding of the concept. Scholars and activists are advocating for a broader recognition of Islamic intellectual traditions and their relevance to contemporary debates on power, knowledge, and culture. By reclaiming this legacy, proponents hope to challenge dominant Western narratives and foster a more nuanced discussion on decolonisation.
