		<description><![CDATA["Isma’il Faruqi is a good case of the modern intellectual who is a believer and provides a good example for thinking about what it means to be a ‘believing intellectual’ in the modern era," said Georgetown University’s history professor John Voll who presented the <em><strong>Annual Isma’il Faruqi Lecture</strong></em> at IIIT on August 26 to an audience of over 80 scholars, activists and community leaders.  Speaking on <em>"The Challenge of the Believing Intellectual: Religion and Modernity,"</em> Professor Voll, who is also associated with the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, reviewed how an understanding of what it means to be an intellectual has evolved over time. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Isma'il al-Faruqi attempted to articulate an Islamic worldview by fortifying it with rational and scientific arguments. In the latter part of his career, he became more and more concerned with the spiritual aspects of Islam. He advocated a radical Islamization of new knowledge. He recognized that the crisis of the modern world was the crisis of knowledge. And this crisis, al-Faruqi thought, could only be cured via a new synthesis of all knowledge in an Islamic epistemological framework.  The "Islamization of Knowledge" project, as it was later know, sought to arouse Muslims to become active participants in intellectual life and contribute to it from an Islamic perspective. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The brutal murders of Prof. Ismail al-Faruqi and his wife Prof. Lois Lamja’ al-Faruqi on May 1986 in Philadelphia have left a void in the world of Islamic learning and human relationships. As martyrs (shuhada’), Allah has glorified their status -- a goal that every Muslim seeks and only a few attain. The Faruqis have been acclaimed as the pioneers of Islamic Studies on the American continent. Through their scholarship, both have laid the foundation of an Islamic methodology of learning not only for the study of religion but also in other disciplines. By doing so, they have, in fact, fulfilled one of the most urgent in tellectual needs of the Muslim world as it seeks to form an islamic world view in the modern age. The value of their contributions to the non-Muslim world lies in their ability to make it appreciate rslam and its endow ment to human civilization.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During his years at McGill, Dr. Ismail al-Faruqi’s talent as a disputant was recognized by his peers. His ability to pursue the opponent’s argument to its logical conclusion was augmented by his mastery of the rhetoric. The way he conducted himself during his encounters with people of other faiths can be seen in the following excerpt from his dialogue with Bishop Kenneth Cragg and Father Michael Fitzgerald at Chembesy on June 26, 1976.]]></description>
