Introduction

Title: Topics in Islamic Literature 

The decision on choosing the subject of the 'Topics in Islamic Literature' as the title of this blog is due to the understanding that literature subjects especially Islamic Literatures look a bit alienated compared to the Western Literatures. Thus we chose this topic as our blog title in a way to encourage and invite all of the literature students to give a chance for the Islamic Literatures to stand equally to the prominent Western Literatures. And who knows when people give a chance to learn and understand more about Islamic Literatures they would probably see how they are much better and might even possess higher quality of literature values compared to the Western's.

Islamization of Knowledge: UnIslamic Elements in Islamic Literary Works

Many have misunderstood that if a piece of work is done by a Muslim writer, then every single thing inside it is considered as Islamic. However, this kind of stigma that has been implanted in human mind since years ago should be carefully addressed by today's generation because less care about this matter may lead to a great misunderstanding in the future.

We have agreed to only discuss the element of 'Justice' and look on how it is portrayed by Muslim writers in literary works whether they truly accumulate justice according to Islam or not.   

We have selected two literary works by Muslim writers;
1) "Advice to Governors" by Nizam Al-Mulk, and
2) "Sultana's Dream" by Rokheya Shekhawat Hossein.
