Religion and Society Interactions

Islam is a faith as well as a cultural commitment. Whether Islam also provides a framework of political ideology is still questionable. Some sociologists employ the notion “the politicization of the sacred” to depict this claim. Ideology is a very modern notion that Muslim thinkers have adopted from Western culture. The suggestion of the Moroccan philosopher Lahbabi, at a conference of C.E.R.E.S., that the arabized term “ fikrologia ” be employed as a substitute for “ideology,” (in Arbaic: al-ideologiyya ) nevertheless does not change this situation.
