Several researchers and academics attended the conference, including
historians, philosophers, and
Islamic studies specialists from various
universities and nations. They discussed 12 research papers related to the
conference's topic, Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.
The papers included issues that highlighted the contributions of non-Muslims to
Islamic civilization, recognizing that the
history of Islamic civilization is
not
restricted to Muslims' intellectual achievements. Islamic civilization and
culture are viewed as the outcome of extensive processes of interchange in
which non-Muslims played a vital part in a variety of sectors and significantly
contributed to their advancement.
The studies also discussed non-Muslim contributions to several cognitive disciplines
such as thought, culture, science, medicine, beliefs, philosophy, art, and law.
The conference emphasized the importance of focusing on manuscript research and
teaching university researchers to engage in this rich subject through
collaborations with universities and research institutions that specialize in
this topic. It also advocated that non-Muslim contributions to Islamic
civilization be included in
school curriculums to enhance awareness of this
topic among young people, thus promoting citizenship, pluralism, and acceptance
of others.
The conference also called for the continuation of organizing such intellectual
gatherings and cooperation with a larger number of researchers and universities
from outside Jordan.
