Abstrak
In this paper, I present a refinement of the Islamization of knowledge project. I argue that it is important to make some rigorous distinctions between several different modes of knowledge, and to integrate two forms of Islamic knowledge at crucial points in the process of Islamization. Social science cases are used to demonstrate this approach. Finally, this refined approach presents Muslim activists with a practical tool for the transformation of current social, economic, and political realities into an Islamic ecosystem.
