Article: Islamic studies is the academic, non-religious research about Islam and Islamic cutlure.
Academic, non-religious Islamic Studies shall not be confused with theological Islamic Studies, often called Islamic theology. While academic scholars research Islam objectively and passively, independently from their faith, faithful Muslims shape current Islamic teachings by actively engaging in Islamic theology. Ideally, Islamic theology rests fully on academic Islamic Studies, yet in practice this is not the case: There are religious reservations to take over academic, non-religious research results because of traditionalism. And scholars of academic Islamic Studies are able to develop theories which question Muslim faith itself: By nature, Islamic theology can deal with such theories only apologetically.
A scholar of academic Islamic studies is called e.g. historian, sociologist, political scientist, or Islamicist which is dated. He is also called religious scholar, or Islamic scholar, yet these latter two designations can also mean a religious Muslim scholar.
Overview
In a non-Muslim context, Islamic studies generally refers to the historical study of Islam: Islamic civilization, Islamic history and historiography, Islamic law, Islamic theology and Islamic philosophy. Academics from diverse disciplines participate and exchange ideas about Islamic societies, past and present, although Western, academic Islamic studies itself is in many respects a self-conscious and self-contained field. Specialists in the discipline apply methods adapted from several ancillary fields, ranging from Biblical studies and classical philology to modern history, legal history and sociology. A recent trend, particularly since 9/11, has been the study of contemporary Islamist groups and movements by academics from the social sciences or in many cases by journalists, although since such works tend to be written by non-Arabists they belong outside the field of Islamic studies proper.
Scholars in the field of academic Islamic studies are often referred to as "Islamicists" and the discipline traditionally made up the bulk of what used to be called Oriental studies. In fact, some of the more traditional Western universities still confer degrees in Arabic and Islamic studies under the primary title of "Oriental studies". This is the case, for example, at the University of Oxford, where Classical Arabic and Islamic studies have been taught since as early as the 16th century, originally as a sub-division of Divinity. This latter context gave early academic Islamic studies its Biblical studies character and was also a consequence of the fact that throughout early-Modern Western Europe the discipline was developed by churchmen whose primary aim had actually been to refute the tenets of Islam. Despite their now generally secular, academic approach, many non-Muslim Islamic studies scholars have written works which are widely read by Muslims, while in recent decades an increasing number of Muslim-born scholars have trained and taught as academic Islamicists in Western universities. Many leading universities in Europe and the US offer academic degrees at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in Islamic studies, in which students can also study Arabic and therefore begin to read Islamic texts in the original language. Because Arabic and Islamic studies are generally seen as inseparable in academia, named undergraduate degrees that combine the two are usually still categorized as single-subject degrees rather than as 'joint' or 'combined' degrees like, for example, those in Arabic and Politics. This rationale explains why, because of their heavy emphasis on the detailed study of Islamic texts in Classical Arabic, some institutionssuch as the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London and Georgetown University in Washington DConly accept graduates who already have degree-level Arabic and a strong background in the academic study of Islam onto their Masters programmes in Islamic studies. Such institutions will generally direct students new to the field and with little or no Arabic to broader master's degrees in Middle Eastern studies or Middle East politics, in which Arabic can be studied ab initio.
A recent HEFCE report emphasises the increasing, strategic importance for Western governments since 9/11 of Islamic studies in higher education and also provides an international overview of the state of the field.
History
The first attempt of Christian Europe to understand Islam as a topic of modern scholarship (as opposed to a Christological heresy) was within the context of 19th-century Christian European Orientalism.
Some orientalists praised the religious tolerance of Islamic countries in contrast with the Christian West, or the status of scholarship in Mandarin China.
Themes
It greatly aids understanding of list of Islamic terms in Arabic.
Academic Islamic studies concentrate on the history of Islam and want to understand Islamic theology including Islamic jurisprudence, and Islamic philosophy.
But also Islamic cutlure is studied, such like Sufism, Islam and science , Islamic art, Islamic literature and Islamic architecture.

HSC Syllabus of Islamic Studies Session 2013-14. In a Muslim context, Islamic Studies is the umbrella term for the Islamic Sciences, both originally researched and as defined by the Islamization of knowledge. It includes all the traditional forms of religious thought, such as kalam (Islamic theology) and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), but also incorporates fields generally considered secular in the West, such as Islamic science and Islamic economics.
