Abstract

In concern with the terrorize of the positivism in the whole world, with the disconnection of the world with the holy and breaking its spell, and with the refusal of non-intellectual and non-emprical; the discussions, which are about the studies of the Muslims to comprising the pa-radigm of a new person and a new society directed towards to the acceptance of positivist scien-ce, are accelarating from time to time in the Islamic world. At the center of this discussions, there are “Islamification of Knowledge” and “Islam So-ciology of Islam”. In this study, we state that we do not agree with the statement of Islamifica-tion of Knowledge, there are both apocalyptic and intuitional knowledge that can be recognized ‘Islamic Knowledge’ as a type of knowledge. If it were Islamicised, we would like to say that it is possible to Islamicise ‘the science’ that is the kind of knowledge in the meaning of scientific knowledge. Additionally, in our study, in connection with the analysis of the term “Sociology of Is-lam” and from the point of Muslims’ worry, we would like to try to understand whether there can be a science that is loaded with the values or not, if it can, how we can ease the worries about its authenticity. We would make an effort to analysis the wishes of the people who adopt the terms “Islamification of Knowledge” and “Sociology of Islam”. In our area of investigation, there would be also how the thesis of ‘Islamification of Knowledge’ can overcome the ideologi-cal worries and achieve the methodological principles that would be accepted by everybody
