Abstract
Muhammad Marrah explores the contributions of the journal Al-Muslim Al-Muʿāṣir (The Contemporary Muslim) in one of the critical areas targeted by the Islamization of Knowledge movement, the field of literature and the arts. He presents an analytical survey of articles published within the framework of Islamization of the Arts and categorizes them under the three themes: Islamic aesthetic theory, Islamic visual arts, and aesthetics of hearing. He explains the importance of the arts in Islamic thought, with a focus on articles on the arts published in the journal. He describes the Islamic aesthetic theory by addressing the concept of beauty and truth, the case of Islamic visual arts, and the religious ruling on music and listening to music, citing the opinions of al-Ghazālī, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ismail al-Faruqi, and Muhammad Amara.
