Ismail al-Faruqi

Palestinian-American Islamic scholar (1921–1986)

Ismaʿil Raji al-Faruqi (Arabic: إسماعيل راجي الفاروقي, romanized: Ismāʿīl Rājī al-Fārūqī, pronounced [ʔis.maːˈʕiːl raːˈʤiː ʔal.faːˈruː.qiː] ; January 1, 1921 – May 27, 1986) was a Palestinian-American Muslim philosopher and scholar of religion. He contributed significantly to Islamic studies, ethics, and interfaith dialogue, and is best known for pioneering the Islamization of knowledge and articulating tawhid (monotheism) as a comprehensive worldview. He proposed a model of meta-religion based on shared ethical values and the universal concept of divine unity.
