Abstract

It goes without saying that Islamic and Arab studies have witnessed great development and accumulation of knowledge according to ages and periods. These sciences have greatly contributed to the service of Islamic civilization in its brightest historical stages.


However, with the civilizational shock that the Islamic world lived through, the knowledge crisis that occurred during the fall of the Islamic caliphate, and the resulting fall in most of the Islamic countries under colonialism, all this prompted thinkers and scholars to re-raise the question of Arab-Islamic science curricula for discussion again.


Researchers attributed the backwardness that the Islamic world suffers from at all levels to a crisis in educational curricula, the signs of which appeared after the ages of the diligent imams, and then aggravated in what are known as the eras of decadence.

The second topic: the emergence of Islamic sciences between prosperity in the past and the present.


The third topic: About a new horizon in a curriculum in the approach of Arab and Islamic studies that contributes to reviving its luster anew, combining originality and modernization and accommodating the other.
