Definition of Religion (dīn) in Islamic Culture and Ibn Taymīyah
Keywords:
Studies of Religions, Arabic language, Phenomenology of Religion
Abstract
Definitions of religion [dīn] from classical Arabic language lexicons, occurrences of the term religion in the Arabic Qur'anic text, and excerpts from the work of Ibn Taymīyah are presented, in a terminological correlation between Western tradition and Islamic culture.
It is concluded that the specific definition of religion in Islamic culture is restricted by its confessional, theological or apologetic character, while the idea of the reality of religion that Ibn Taymīyah brings to phenomenological studies includes non-Western concepts from the Islamic Culture.
