Between Revelation and Modernity: The Journey of Islamic Knowledge

In this lecture, Abdyl Nëntor Musliu examines the development of Islamic scholarship from the classical period to the challenges of modernity. Dwelling on the concept of ijtihad, the believer's relationship with the text of revelation and the need for interpretation under different historical circumstances, the discussion takes up the question of how the Islamic sciences were shaped, and how they go on facing the dilemmas of our own time.

The three historical “shocks” that shaped Islamic thought: 📌 Being left alone with the text after the Prophet → ijtihad and fiqh 📌 The trauma of the wars between Muslims → aqidah and kalam 📌 The encounter with the ancient civilisations → Bayt al-Hikma and Islamic philosophy And the question that troubles us still: what does it mean to be a Muslim in a modern world, where economics and politics have declared their independence from ethics?
