THE International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) has great pleasure
in presenting Dr. AbdulHamid AbuSulayman’s study, The Qur’anic
Worldview: A Springboard for Cultural Reform which forms the English
translation of the author’s Arabic original, al-Ru’yah al-Kawniyyah al-
Hadariyyah.
This is a carefully reasoned, reflective work, the chief aim of which is
to explore the reasons for the deteriorating state of the Muslim world
and to address one of the central questions facing Muslims today – how
to reverse the decline into which they have fallen and recover the
brilliance of Islam’s once great civilization. Looking back at the various
stages of Islamic historical development, the author puts forward a
solution that focuses on the recovery of what is termed, the Qur’anic
worldview. It was the strict internalization of this perspective and close
adherence to the principles of the Qur’an which, he contends, played a
key factor in galvanizing the early fledgling Muslim community to
achieve the successes that they once did, the profound impact of which
is felt to this day. The rebirth of Islamic identity through this Qur’anic
worldview, insists the author, is the key requirement of our times and a
prerequisite for any future healthy and viable development of the
Ummah.
Where dates are cited according to the Islamic calendar (hijrah)
they are labelled . Otherwise they follow the Gregorian calendar
and labelled  where necessary. Arabic words are italicized except for
those which have entered common usage. Diacritical marks have been
added only to those Arabic names not considered modern.
The IIIT, established in 1981, has served as a major center to facilitate
sincere and serious scholarly efforts based on Islamic vision, values
and principles. Its programs of research, seminars and conferences during
the last thirty years have resulted in the publication of more than
four hundred titles in English and Arabic, many of which have been
translated into several other languages.
We would like to express our thanks to Thomas Goldberg for the
quality of his editorial work as well as the editorial and production team
at the IIIT London Office and all those who were directly or indirectly
involved in the completion of this work.
