Beginning with the concept of dīn, we explore how Islam encompasses not only belief and worship, but also ethics, law, knowledge, society, culture and ways of life. Particular attention is given to the distinction between the modern English concept of “civilisation” and the Arabic concepts of ḥaḍāra and tamaddun, as well as the Ottoman Turkish medeniyet, asking whether these terms represent equivalent ideas or reflect different intellectual traditions and understandings of human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt-center top-10\"\u003eWe will examine how Muslim thinkers developed and debated these concepts, particularly in response to the encounter with Western modernity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Alongside this, the course explores the importance of historical memory, arguing that civilisational consciousness requires an awareness of a shared past, intellectual inheritance and historical experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt-center top-10\"\u003eWeek by week, we will engage with some of the most significant thinkers in both the modern Islamic tradition and academic scholarship, examining their different understandings of Islam, civilisation, modernity and historical change. The course concludes by asking why this civilisational perspective remains relevant today, and whether recovering a deeper sense of historical and civilisational consciousness can help Muslims better understand their past, present and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt-center top-10\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourse schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.061%;
