Abstract
Islam conceives the goal of man to become the Vicegerent of Allah (SWT) on this earth. This implies, first, that man must have knowledge and second that he is able to use that knowledge for his own good and the good of the entire creation, including mankind, other creatures and external nature of Islam. Therefore, does not put a barrier to the acquisition of knowledge. Dr. Sayed Ali Ashraf was one of the pioneers among the Islamic scholars who initiated the movement of Islamization of knowledge. This paper examines the role of Dr Sayed Ali Ashraf in Islamizing knowledge that he made an original and considerable contribution to the regeneration of Islamic education drawn from the Islamic world view. It aims to discuss also the foundations of the movement of the Islamization of education throughout the world with especial reference to Bangladesh by Dr Sayed Ali Ashraf. Finally, there will be an evaluation based on real situations of Islamizing knowledge and various aspects of the Islamic philosophy of education in Bangladesh.
