أسلمة علم الجمال : دراسة نقدية للتصور السائد حول علم الجمال الإسلامي

Abstract EN

This study examines the debate about Islamic Aesthetics, the concept of Islamic aesthetics, the possibility of the existence of so-called Islamic aesthetics.

Moreover, a review of Arab and Islamic visions, the first is the adoption of the presence of Islamic aesthetics, and the second is the denial of its existence, through a critical methodology that attempts to reveal the philosophical and logical confusion that affected some Writings in Islamic Art and Aesthetics.

The study tries to answer some of its questions about the history of the emergence of the term Islamic Aesthetics and the concept of Islamic aesthetics from the two visions supporting its existence and depriving it, and what is the possibility of there being Islamic aesthetics? The results of this study showed that the term Islamic Aesthetic or the term Islamic Beauty is not found in old Arabic Islamic writings that appeared before the twentieth century.

Also, the term (Islamic aesthetics) did not appear clearly except through the cultural movement carried out by the International Institute of Islamic Thought in the eighties of the twentieth century.

The study also showed that the vision supporting the existence of Islamic aesthetics adopts two locations.

The first position is to demonstrate Arab aesthetics, mentioned in the writings of early Arab thinkers such as al-Tawhidi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Hazm, al-Ghazali, and Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya.

The second position adopts the idea that Islamic aesthetics is a modern science but has its roots and backgrounds in the concept of beauty in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet.

As for the vision that denies the existence of Islamic aesthetics, it believes that what came in the Arabic and Islamic writings that claim to be Islamic aesthetics is ambiguity and fallacies between studying Islamic beauty and Aesthetics.

Also, the results of the research showed confusion between research in Islamic Beauty, and research in Aesthetics that produced the term (Islamic Aesthetics), and this confusion arose from reasons including intolerance to the Islamization of knowledge, and any attempt to approach philosophy.

For beauty between the intellectual trends of Islam and expressive art forms that reflect those intellectual trends and an attempt to consolidate the theory of Islamic art based on Islamic beauty
