Understanding the Principles of Islamic World-View Muhammad Abdullah ∗ & Muhammad Junaid Nadvi ∗∗ Abstract A worldview is generally understood as a set of beliefs about fundamental aspects of Reality that ground and influence all our perceiving, thinking, knowing, and doing. The first part of this paper proposes a precise definition and nature of what a worldview is, and why there is a necessity to have one, with a brief analysis of contemporary paradigms of worldviews. The second part presents an understanding of the basic principles of an integrated Islamic World-view in the light of Qur’ân and Hadȋth. In view of the limitations of this paper and to avoid a lengthy discussion, the terminologies or contents of a worldview i.e. epistemology, metaphysics, cosmology, teleology, theology, anthropology and axiology, which are highly interrelated to each other, have not been intentionally discussed in this paper. Keywords: Islam, World-View, Al-Quran, Hadith, Justice Introduction The term worldview (Weltanschauung in German) has a long and interesting history going back to Kant (1724–1804). 1 It has been and is used not only in philosophy, but also in the other branches of social sciences.

After all, what could be more important or influential than the way an individual, a family, a community, a nation, or an entire culture conceptualizes reality? Is there anything more profound or powerful than the shape and content of human consciousness and its primary interpretation of the nature of things? When it comes to the deepest questions about human life and existence, ∗ Muhammad Abdullah, Associate Professor, Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Gomal University, D.I. Khan.
