Islamic Civilization مقدمة عامة General Introduction This general introduction aims at informing the students of the nature and importance of the Islamic Civilization II course, familiarizing them with the research activities which they will be assigned throughout the semester, and explaining and explicating the main concepts and procedures of scientific research, and methods of using information sources. األسيوع الموضوع Week Topic Introduction to Assignments (Book Review, Group Discussion, Film Report) 1 Distribution of Assignments Scientific Methodology 1 Information Literacy Week Readings (Textbook), Material Topic 2 General Lecture Book Review 2 The Emergence of Islam (LESSON 1) Book Review 2 The Apostasy Wars (LESSON 2) Book Review Book Review 2 Conquests and the Construction of the Nation 3 Termination of the Caliphate and the emergence of the modern state (LESSON 3a&b) Book Review 3 The Abbasid Revolution (LESSON 4) 1/8 Book Review 3 The Split of the Caliphate: The Umawids in Andalusia, the Fatimids in Cairo 4 Weakness and fall -the Crusades and Magul 4 The Establishment of the Ottoman State Film 5 Western Colonialism in the Muslim World كتابة التقرير Film 5 Western Colonialism in the Muslim World Group Discussion Group Discussion General Discussion of the Readings 5 Unit 2 - Islam Vis-à-vis other civilizations and Cultures This Unit deals with the issue of acculturation and interaction of civilizations. It is better to start with some anthropological theories, like cultural diffusions. It should also start with a discussion of the Samuel Huntington's hypothesis clash of civilizations. This is to be followed by a discussion of Islam's relations with other cultures with which it has communicated or interacted. The study of this relationship should focus on two specific points: a. How the Muslims benefited from one culture or another. b. How they influenced or were influenced by other cultures. On the other hand, the approach should go beyond the military political theory of history to focus mainly on the social, cultural, scientific, institutional, commercial, artistic interaction in its most comprehensive sense.

Then, attention should be given to how the Muslims dealt with these sciences as they inherited them from the Greeks, Persians and Indians, how they developed them, and the new sciences they innovated. The contributions of the Muslims, the steps they followed to develop these sciences, and how their contributions influenced the European Civilization as it was just coming out of its dark ages are to be given special attention in this Unit.

Final Exam 5/8 Standardization of the Learning Process The table below provides an example of how the content of the above could be standardized. It is included as a model to guide thinking about developing a document of standards for the General Program of Islamic Studies that will meet the needs of instructors/faculty as well as those of the departments. The Learning Expectation of any individual theme from the above list should be based on enhancing the student's understanding and should demonstrate how the required core texts and related assigned texts can be used whenever the context requires a similar interpretation, either written or oral. Student Products The Essential Learning Skills and Strategies include Preparation (advance reading of the assigned weekly readings), Class Participation (regular attendance and engaging in thoughtful discussion on issues pertinent to the weekly readings) and Colloquium Presentations (to draw out new concepts, issues, themes and questions for class discussion). Two students will be asked to make a 5-7 minute oral presentation on one of the assigned weekly readings. Discussion Groups and Debate also be implemented to enhance the skills of thinking, researching, debating and understanding of the new concepts, principles, values and issues. The Student Products should include Written Work and Oral and Written Examinations. Learning Practice Essential Learning Skills and Strategies Learning Expectation Table No. ( ): Sample of Standards The Learning Practice should reflect a discussion-driven class that depends on and assumes one's close reading of the texts. Lecture-driven classes should not be part of this program.
