“…The university facilities and student housing originally resided and operated within the confines of the mosque and became a center of Islamic learning. Because many top Muslim intellectuals and philosophers of that time graduated from Al-Qarawiyyin University it became known as the premier educational institution in North Africa (Ahmed, 2016). Fatima Al-Fihri achieved enduring success in her goal of instilling academic and moral knowledge in the students of Al-Qarawiyyin University.…”

“…Whereas Krausen and al-Nahi place themselves somewhere in-between, Mattson's approach is in line with more conservative readings that excludes women from acting as imams. However, she joins a series of initiatives to enhance women's religious scholarship and authority in other positions and arenas in Iran, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Morocco in recent years (Ahmed 2016;Bano and Kalmbach 2012;Van Door-Hardner 2006;Rinaldo 2013;Kian-Thiébaut 2000). In some cases, such initiatives seek to open for women's broader religious authority and leadership, while in other cases they look to relegate women to separate fields of religious authority only relevant for women.…”

In what ways can teaching Islam through controversial issues be useful in religious education? Can it serve to counter problems of representation of Islam, and what are the benefits and possible pitfalls of adopting such an approach? In this article, I will explore the use of Muslim internal feminist critique of conservative and patriarchal interpretations of women’s religious leadership in Islam as a controversial issues approach to teaching Islam in non-confessional religious education. The approach can be relevant for students in upper-secondary religious education, but also in teacher education. Building on secondary research documenting the problems of teaching Islam in non-confessional religious education in the Nordic countries as well as research on Muslim feminism spanning over a decade, this article investigates the didactic potentials and challenges that adopting the controversial issues approach may hold for teaching Islam. The main argument of this article is that the internal feminist debate on Islam provides an alternative entry to teaching Islam. It provides didactic resources and tools for understanding the discursive aspects of Islam, i.e., how Islam is conceived, interpreted, debated and practiced by Muslims, which in turn highlight power aspects and authority that are central to the production of religious knowledge. Consequently, the controversial issues approach may serve to counter certain “grand narratives” that seem to permeate current representations of Islam in religious education.

“…The scientific tradition was still carried out and upheld as the country's asset at that time [39], [40], [41]. In line with that, ta'wil also developed in line with ulum kawniyyah which is more appropriate to be approached by methods such as qiyas, mantiq, and experiments with Islamic sharia frameworks such as avoiding illicit substances (haram), usury (riba), or things that are contained of gharar and maysir [42], [43].…”

Definition of Al-Attas on Islam as the true based on his affirmation of the relationship between science and religion; then Islamic science can be clearly defined. Khabar Sadiq (al-Qur'an and hadith) are very authoritative as a source of Islamic catalysts of the ever great Islamic civilization. Both are verified sources through a process of tafsir and ta'wil; using unique scientific transition scheme, namely sanad. The Islamic scientific transmissions have increasingly developed without interruption; to give birth to various kinds of interpretations also ta'wil. In fact both of them are catalysts for the emergence of Islamic-style science and technology. For this reason, al-Attas emphasized that the development of Islamic science and technology cannot be separated from the roots of interpretation and ta'wil , because both of them have taken root as a method of scientific transmission both fardhu 'ain and fardhu kifayah.
