Islamic scholarship refers to the study and interpretation of Islamic texts, including the Qur'an and Hadith. Scholars, known as ulama, engage in various disciplines such as theology, law, philosophy, and history to understand and explain Islamic teachings. Their work helps to preserve and transmit knowledge across generations. This scholarship has a rich history, with notable figures like Al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd contributing significantly to Islamic thought. Islamic scholarship is not limited to religious studies; it also encompasses contributions to science, mathematics, and literature, reflecting the diverse intellectual heritage of the Islamic Golden Age.
