CFP: Time in Islamic Civilization

The concept of time and its perception have been long studied among
academics and scientists in various cultures and civilizations. Time,
though it concerns all aspects of human life, has been widely treated
and discussed especially in the fields of religion, philosophy and
positive sciences. Time has always been important and crucial for
every individual human being, as well as for every society. Past,
present and future are intimately related to the place, position and
condition of human being in time.

For all these reasons and others, scientists and thinkers have been
engaged, in one way or another, in the discussion of time, searching
for answers to such questions as what time is, how it is perceived,
in what way it is related to human life, how it was considered in the
past. Almost all the existing world religions and cultures seem to
have treated this subject from their perspectives and offered
valuable insights into its meaning. This is true also of the islamic
culture and civilization, which has indeed produced a wealth of
literature dealing various aspects of time. Through this
international event, therefore, we aim to draw the attention of
academics and researchers to the importance of this issue and bring
to light the contributions that have been made by philosophers,
scientists, theologians, sufis, and intellectuals of islamic
civilization in this field.
