Islamic Critical Thinking: An Analysis of Its Significance Based on The Al-Quran and Scholarly Views

Profile image of Nur Aina  Adnin

‘Abqari Journal

Critical thinking is a very important intellectual tool that could help a person form arguments, determine the credibility of sources, analyse presumptions or make decisions in various contexts. Hence, this study intended to examine the Western and Islamic critical thinking concepts as well as its significance according to the al-Quran and the views of scholars. The library research method was used extensively for collecting and analysing data, which was sourced from literature by philosophers, psychologists and Islamic scientists, especially those involved in the cognitive field. The conceptual framework was built using the content analysis method. According on the analysis, the importance of Islamic critical thinking based on the al-Quran and views of scholars in the cognitive field were extensively elaborated to assist in the practice of Islamic critical thinking. The study found similarities and differences between Islamic and Western critical thinking. The similarities are fro...

Objective This research aims at the constructing a basic perspective on critical thinking in line with Islamic principles with a brief explanation of such principles. Methodology This study uses exegetical methods, by studying the relevant parts of the religious texts and systemizing the information in a critical way. Research findings The research demonstrates that the principles for constructing an Islamic critical thinking perspective are found in the primary sources of Islam. The knowledge ‫;العلم(‬ al-'ilm) makes the core of Islamic critical thinking, and means of such knowledge are the revelation ‫;الوحي(‬ al-wahy), the use of senses ‫اس(‬ ‫;احلو‬ al-hawas), intellect (reason and heart, ‫القلب‬ ‫و‬ ‫;العقل‬ al-aql wa al-qalb), historical experience or testimony (‫السياحة‬ ‫ا‬ ‫الشهادة‬ ‫و‬ ; al-siyahah aw al-shidah), and meditating on the natural and physical world ‫;الكون(‬ al-kaun). There are other means such as prophetic dreams ‫الصادقة(‬ ‫;الرؤاي‬ al-ruya al-sadiqah), insight ‫اسة(‬ ‫;الفر‬ al-firasah), illumination (‫;املكاشفة‬ al-mukashafah), and inspiration (‫االهلام‬ ;al-ilham), though they are dismissed to account for any scholarly opinion or position and thus they remain non-binding according to Shariah. However, they can be a gift of a genius mind that is extraordinarily critical, helping such minds in understanding and creativity. Critical thinking includes using many human faculties and the Quran frequently emphasizes contemplation ‫;التفكر‬ al-tafakur), reflection ‫;التدبر(‬ at-tadabbur), understanding ‫;التفقه‬ at-tafaqquh), and reasoning ‫;التعقل(‬ at-taakul); and these concepts are the foundations of critical thinking which could be developed and elaborated in many ways. Applications The need of having an Islamic construction of critical thinking is because of the special worldview of Islam and its conception of knowledge which treats revelation ‫;الوحي(‬ al-wahy) as the primary source of belief and knowledge. The findings of the study can be useful in fashioning a basic curriculum for critical thinking for Islamic educational institutions.

Jumal Ahmad

Islamic approach to critical thinking is based on the sources of belief and knowledge in Islam and the scholarly attitude of Muslims throughout history in the major subjects of inquiry in Islamic studies and the subjects which come under the humanities, social sciences, and pure sciences. To be a critical thinker especially when informal logical fallacies are addressed a person should be aware about what could be classified as knowledge and the reliable means of knowledge. In the following sections of the chapter the sources of knowledge in Islam are discussed. Furthermore, it has been shown how the Quran treats critical thinking and why there is a need of having an Islamic perspective on informal logical fallacies.

"Critical Thinking: An Islamic Perspective, by Muhammad Mumtaz Ali, published by the Thinker's Library in 2008, explores "critical thinking" within the context of the Islamist revivalist movement. At 168 pages, the book consists of an Introduction and five chapters. Upon closer inspection, however, the book turns out to be more of a critique of 'modernist,' 'moderate,' and 'liberalist' Muslims than an inquiry into the meaning of critical thinking, from the Islamic perspective.

The purpose of this study was to find the problems that teachers often experience in assessing students' critical thinking skills in Islamic religious education learning and in the end a teacher manual is compiled. The mix methods method is more precise Sequential Exploratory Design. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling technique. Capturing problem analysis data was carried out by teachers through the Online Discussion Forum (ODF) assisted by the WhatsApp application, as well as 20 items on Islamic religious education owned by the teacher. The results of the study found that 5 teachers stated that the problems experienced were related to invalid and reliable instruments, as evidenced by the analysis of the quality of the questions using Iteman 3.00, that 16 out of 20 instruments had a difference of D< 0.3, meaning that 80% of the items belonged to the teacher. Not suitable for use, and the value of alpha (a) = 0.080< 0.5, indicating that the questions the teacher has are not reliable. In conclusion, the teacher does not have good instruments, which means they are valid and reliable.

Mikaeel (Michael) V Smith

Does the Islamic pedagogy have the capacity to preserve the sacred aspect of knowledge and still encourage critical thought? Is creating critical thinkers actually an objective of the Islamic educational systems and where in the pedagogical system should critical thought be taught? Medieval Muslim scholars have written extensively on curriculum development and the goals and objectives of Islamic educational systems. Comparing Blooms taxonomy to classical medieval scholastic works on curriculum development shows amazing similarities in their understanding of the role of memorization as a fundamental aspect of education.

What's a Critical Language and Why Study One?

The list of which languages are considered critical changes over time as economic and political situations change and develop, but often these languages are radically different from English in grammatical structures, sound systems and writing systems.

While learning these languages can take considerable more time and effort than learning languages more closely related to English like French, Spanish or German, studying them can make you eligible for funding options like the Critical Language Scholarship or the National Security Education Program ( NSEP ) and open up travel and career opportunities you may have never considered.

Having studied three of the following languages myself (Arabic, Hindi and Urdu ) in addition to advanced French and elementary Spanish, I can tell you that it does take determination and discipline to get started with a critical language. Not only do you need to learn a new way of moving your pen, a new way of reading and how to produce foreign sounds from places in your mouth you never knew existed, but you often need to learn to wrap your mind around a different way of thinking, a different worldview.

I was both boggled and fascinated by recognizing how the English system of family terms (mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin) is so sparse compared to the Urdu’s dozens of terms differentiating each family member and giving them each a different status: mother’s sister, father’s sister, mother’s sister’s husband, older sister, younger sister, father’s older brother’s wife. I still can’t get them all straight.

As of 2010, the following 13 languages are listed as critical languages. If you’re thinking about studying a new language but haven’t decided which one, factors to consider include where the language is spoken, how many native speakers and second language speakers it has, and what types of jobs are available for professionals with knowledge of the language.

While the term “Arabic” refers more to a language group with 30-odd distinct varieties within it, students who want to learn any dialect of Arabic start by mastering Modern Standard Arabic and then move on to specialize in a particular spoken dialect like Egyptian, Lebanese or Gulf Arabic. More than 221 million people speak some form of Arabic, and there is a demand for Arabic linguists in intelligence services, consular services, international NGOs, the airline industry, the military and business.

2. Azerbaijani

Spoken in Azerbaijan and in pockets of other Central Asian countries, Azerbaijani has 6 to 7 million mother-tongue speakers and about 8 million second-language speakers. It’s an Altaic language related to Turkish, so studying it would pair well with studying Turkish language and culture. It is written in both Cyrillic and Latin script, meaning that if you’re already literate in Russian it won’t be hard to get started with Azerbaijani. On the job front, opportunities are more limited than with more widely spoken languages like Arabic, but if you plan to live, work with an NGO or do business in Central Asia it would be a good language to study.

Also known as Bangla, Bengali has more than 110 million native speakers and a further 140 million second-language speakers. It’s spoken not just in Bangladesh, India and Nepal but wherever Bengalis have migrated, so you can use Bengali language skills in the US, UK, Canada, Singapore and the UAE among other countries. As an Indo-European language, its structure is closer to English than many of the other critical languages, although to be literate you need to learn Bengali script. Bengali language skills would be particularly useful if you plan to work with NGOs or business in South Asia.

4. Chinese (Mandarin)

As the official language of Chinese schools, in the year 2000 there were an estimated 840 million first-language speakers plus 178 million second-language speakers. While some varieties of the language are not mutually intelligible (meaning speakers can’t necessarily understand each other), more and more Chinese young people are now only being taught the standard variety rather than regional dialects. Considering roughly 1 out 6 people in the world speak Chinese and China is a huge market for economic growth, career opportunities for Chinese linguists can be found in almost any field.

Hindi is spoken as a native language throughout northern India and is used as a trade language in much of the rest of the country. It is mutually intelligible with Urdu, Pakistan’s national language, although while Urdu uses the Arabic-style script Hindi uses Devanagari script. There are over 180 million mother-tongue speakers in South Asia and many more in countries with large Indian immigrant populations like Canada, Uganda, Fiji, the US and the UK.

6. Indonesian

Known as Bahasa, this Indonesian language has about 23 million speakers in the country and among Indonesian immigrant communities in the Netherlands, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the US. It’s written in both Arabic and Latin script and its vocabulary is highly similar (an 80% cognate rate) with standard Malay. If you can already read and write in Arabic script or speak Malay, you’ll have an advantage picking up Bahasa Indonesian.

7. Japanese

Spoken by 122 million people, Japanese is written with a syllabary, a system of symbols that represent syllables rather than individual sounds. Although it’s not related to Chinese, it is heavily influenced by it, and in order to be proficient in Japanese you will also need to learn a large number of Chinese characters that are used as loan words in Japanese. If you want to use your Japanese outside of Japan, consider academic jobs, translation, international business, language tutoring for students of Japanese or serving as a guide for Japanese tourists.

Classed as a language isolate, the Korean language does not share a lineage with any other known language. It is spoken by 66 million people and written in Hangul script, a system of syllabic blocks. Within the US government, there is a high demand for Arabic, Chinese and Korean speakers.

9. Persian / Farsi

An Indo-European language, Farsi is spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Qatar and some areas of Uzbekistan. Written in Arabic script, it has about 23 million speakers throughout the region. Due to the tense political relationship between the US and Iran, Americans who study Farsi can look for jobs in the government sector, intelligence services, journalism, political analysis (“think tanks”), and the military.

10. Punjabi

Punjabi is a good choice if you enjoy learning different alphabets, as Western Punjabi is written in Arabic script (like Urdu) while Eastern Punjabi is written in both Devanagari (like Hindi) script and Gurumkhi script. In India, many of the 28 million Eastern Punjabi speakers are Sikhs, while in Pakistan the majority of the 62 million Western Punjabi speakers are Muslim. Punjabi learners will need to master different greetings and terms of respect for interacting with different religious communities.

11. Russian

Although the Cold War days are long behind us, Russian is still deemed a critical language. There are over 143 million Russian speakers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and Russian is a useful trade language in these regions. It is a Slavic language and written in Cyrillic script.

12. Turkish

Good news for Turkish language learners is that since the late 1920s the language has been written in Latin script. Turkish is spoken by more than 50 million people in Turkey, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Iran. The majority of Turkish speakers Muslim and there are some Arabic loan words used in Turkish.

While only about 10% of Pakistan’s population speaks Urdu as a native-language, it is used as one of the official languages in education is spoken as a trade language throughout the country. Urdu has over 104 million speakers in Pakistan, India and in Pakistani immigrant communities throughout the world. Studying Urdu pairs well with studying Hindi, as on a conversational level there are only minor differences. Urdu is written in Arabic Nastaliq script.
