The College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Baghdad participated in the Second Sharjah International Conference on Social and Human Sciences, organized by the Turkish Remar Academy in collaboration with Iğdır University and the International Association for Academic Education and Research, with broad attendance from researchers and academics across various Arab and Islamic countries.
The college’s contribution was presented by faculty member Dr. Haleem Abbas Al-Fatlawi, whose research paper, titled “The Methodology of Cognitive Enrichment: A Comparative Approach Between the Thesis Method in Qur’anic Semantics by Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr in Minhat Al-Mannan and Nicolescu’s Transdisciplinarity,” was awarded the Medal of Creativity and Excellence for its subject matter and methodological rigor in scientific research.
The study focused on a significant intellectual axis: developing cognitive methodologies to keep pace with the ongoing expansion in the field of human knowledge. Dr. Al-Fatlawi explained that traditional methodologies have become inadequate for addressing increasing knowledge challenges, which necessitated the emergence of new perspectives, including the Transdisciplinarity proposed by Basarab Nicolescu. The paper aims to introduce this methodology and explore its impact and mechanisms in contemporary Islamic thought by comparing it with the thesis-based approach adopted by the martyred scholar Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr in his central Qur’anic studies.
This participation reflects the college’s alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—specifically, Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
