Contemporary Islamic philosophy

Contemporary Islamic philosophy is the way of thinking about issues and life events that is informed by the Islamic religion. It is a way of looking at the world through the lens of Islam, which is a religion that focus on one God and teaches that humans have a responsibility to serve and care for others. Muslim thinkers have used Islamic philosophy to discuss a range of topics, from political systems to ethics and morality to the role of religion in society. Contemporary Islamic philosophy is typically rooted in the teachings of Islam and its associated spiritual, ethical, and political norms. This means that Islamic philosophers today often use the Quran and Hadiths—the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad—to find guidance when tackling questions of moral and political philosophy.
