Related papers
central position of CT from the Islamic perspectives, also to serve as reference material to both teachers and students of knowledge.
Islamic approach to critical thinking is based on the sources of belief and knowledge in Islam and the scholarly attitude of Muslims throughout history in the major subjects of inquiry in Islamic studies and the subjects which come under the humanities, social sciences, and pure sciences. To be a critical thinker especially when informal logical fallacies are addressed a person should be aware about what could be classified as knowledge and the reliable means of knowledge. In the following sections of the chapter the sources of knowledge in Islam are discussed. Furthermore, it has been shown how the Quran treats critical thinking and why there is a need of having an Islamic perspective on informal logical fallacies.

Objective This research aims at the constructing a basic perspective on critical thinking in line with Islamic principles with a brief explanation of such principles. Methodology This study uses exegetical methods, by studying the relevant parts of the religious texts and systemizing the information in a critical way. Research findings The research demonstrates that the principles for constructing an Islamic critical thinking perspective are found in the primary sources of Islam. The knowledge ;العلم( al-'ilm) makes the core of Islamic critical thinking, and means of such knowledge are the revelation ;الوحي( al-wahy), the use of senses اس( ;احلو al-hawas), intellect (reason and heart, القلب و ;العقل al-aql wa al-qalb), historical experience or testimony (السياحة ا الشهادة و ; al-siyahah aw al-shidah), and meditating on the natural and physical world ;الكون( al-kaun). There are other means such as prophetic dreams الصادقة( ;الرؤاي al-ruya al-sadiqah), insight اسة( ;الفر al-firasah), illumination (;املكاشفة al-mukashafah), and inspiration (االهلام ;al-ilham), though they are dismissed to account for any scholarly opinion or position and thus they remain non-binding according to Shariah. However, they can be a gift of a genius mind that is extraordinarily critical, helping such minds in understanding and creativity. Critical thinking includes using many human faculties and the Quran frequently emphasizes contemplation ;التفكر al-tafakur), reflection ;التدبر( at-tadabbur), understanding ;التفقه at-tafaqquh), and reasoning ;التعقل( at-taakul); and these concepts are the foundations of critical thinking which could be developed and elaborated in many ways. Applications The need of having an Islamic construction of critical thinking is because of the special worldview of Islam and its conception of knowledge which treats revelation ;الوحي( al-wahy) as the primary source of belief and knowledge. The findings of the study can be useful in fashioning a basic curriculum for critical thinking for Islamic educational institutions.
