An Introduction to Islamic Sociology

In this research, the views of some thinkers of Islamic sociology will be considered. In the present article, which has been collected by an explanatory method, while briefly introducing each of these ideas, it evaluates and analyzes them. The necessity of research is due to the fact that, contrary to the common Western views, it is necessary to study the issues related to Islamic societies by understanding the views of Muslim thinkers. In other words, with the help of Islamic sociology, we can take a closer look at the structure of power and society in Islamic societies. Therefore, the attitudes of great Muslim thinkers and philosophers about education and their goals, methods and approaches to society, government and politics, social problems and issues should be addressed. The research question is how the views of Islamic thinkers towards sociology have been proposed. Findings show that Islamic sociology, unlike Western sociology, has more maneuverability than modern sociology due to the use of three sources of knowledge, intellect, experience and intuition, which also includes the normative dimensions of society and the discussion of the existence and what is society.
