Abstract

Emad al-Din Khalil’s article tracks the depth of association between the Islamic worldview through its characteristics and constants in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (ṢAAS), and the fiqh (jurisprudential) and kalām (theological) interpretations derived from these two sources. It discusses the components of Ibn Khaldūn’s Muqadimmah in its three main contexts:  epistemology, education, and history, and how Ibn Khaldūn reflected through these contexts a worldview built on Islamic depth, and that he addressed these areas from an Islamic worldview. The article emphasizes Ibn Khaldūn’s awareness of the role of religion in the rise and fall of states, and in forming human knowledge. It concludes by emphasizing  these concepts and argues that Ibn Khaldūn's Muqadimmah reflects an authentic Islamic worldview.
