1 Introduction to the History of Islamic Theology Mehdi Azaiez Assistant Professor of Islamic Theology - mehdi.azaiez@theo.kuleuven.be Winter KU Leuven Course description The Alhambra (Al-Ḥamrā'), Granada, Spain «This is a science that involves arguing with logical proofs in defense of the articles of faith and refuting innovators who deviate in their dogmas from the early Muslims and Muslim orthodoxy. The real core of the articles of faith is the oneness of God (tawḥīd).» (Ibn H aldūn, Muqaddima, VI, 14) This course is an introduction to the History of the Islamic Theology organised into three general sections. The first section will explore the origins and the early development of Ilm al Kalām. The second section will study some important forms, concepts and content introduced by some fundamental texts of Islamic Theology in interaction with the other major religious disciplines: Exegesis, Jurisprudence, Heresiography, Sufism and Islamic philosophy. The third section will be devoted to the modern theological debates in muslim countries. We will consider new questions such as : How have modern contexts shaped Muslim reformers understanding of the Qurʾān and of the Islamic tradition, and how have the reformers interpretations recontextualized Islamic classical theology? 1/7

7 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY As bright scientific ideas have the potential to improve our life, both in terms of wellness and welfare, they deserve an optimal environment for further analyses, experiments, testing, observing, recording, data handling,.and finally drafting conclusions. This optimal environment is closely related to academic freedom which is generally accepted to be indispensable for the proper functioning of modern universities. It is no surprise that the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which became binding in 2009, explicitly guarantees academic freedom in its article 13. The principles of truth and honesty are considered as fundamental to a community of scholars. The reliability of scientific outcomes can be ensured by a collective dialogue with colleagues and peers. Integrity principles such as proper data management, integrity of authorship, correct citing of peers, mentioning acknowledgements, e.o. are fundamental for all scientists. The KU Leuven expects both senior and junior researchers to honour these principles, and in so doing, to protect and maintain the high international recognition of our research and our institution. During the last decade, the number of researchers worldwide increased drastically, the facilities at their disposal are unprecedented, resulting in an explosion of data and a multiplication of the number of scientific journals. This evolution is basically very positive, but however, it also asks for a proper balance between academic freedom and the need to guarantee the integrity of research. It is clear that misconduct, in all its forms, undermines public confidence in science and even exceptional cases of fraud are highly damaging for the whole scientific community. Therefore, research integrity has become an integral part of the institutional research policy. Our objective is clear: the research at KU Leuven should meet the highest standards and correct scientific behaviour is the norm at KU Leuven.
