Strengthening Human Resource and Regeneration in The Process of Integrating Knowledge In Economics At PCIM Spain

Abstract

Abstract. Integration of knowledge as Islamic methodology and intellectual heritage were never obstacles to human development, but what stands as obstacles to human progress are the weak political leadership, poor investments on human capital, as well as the wrong interpretations of the Islamic messages by those who claim to speak for Islam. Indeed, integration of knowledge is a gateway to bring in again the glory of the noble Islamic civilization which never denied the great position of man, his leadership and intellectual capabilities to carry on the message of Khilafah and attain Falah both in this world and the Hereafter by both means of revelation (wahy) and reason (‘aql). This study aims to strengthen the human resource as well as to conduct regeneration in the process of integrating knowledge in Economics at PCIM Spain. To achieve the objective, this study conducts six (6) series of seminars and workshops on Integration of Knowledge particularly in Economics field. The results show that, to strengthen the human resource especially for lecturers who teach Economics or other disciplines, they should master several traditional sciences. Herewith the order of priority mastery of traditional sciences: [1] Arabic; [2] General historical insights about Islamic civilization; [3] Ushul Fiqh; [4] Their respective scientific disciplines (all of which have a turats basis); [5] Ushul Tafsir; [6] Ushul Hadith.
