Early Muslims were able to embellish their civilization with great achievements in the areas of science and
technology. The Holy Qur‟an not only speaks about spirituality but also on science and the natural world. The
Qur‟an was the driving force in encouraging the Muslim scholars to go into science and research. The zeal to
understand the hidden message of Allah, in the natural world, made them learn from contributions made by earlier
civilizations. In taking knowledge from others, early Muslims used the methodology of adopt, adapt and integrate.
During their heydays, Muslim scholars were pioneers in many areas of knowledge and sciences; natural and
social. The peak of Islamic civilization drew Europeans scholars to their centers of learning. In modern times, the
European renaissance movement which started in the 14
th
century got the impetus from the culture of learning,
doing research and exploration that was shown by the Muslim scholars of the Golden Age of Islam (750-1258).
The decline of the Islamic empires and the internal conflicts within the Ummah in some ways made the Muslims
to lag behind others in science and technology. This paper intends to explore the ideas of Iqbal (1873 -1938) on
science and what are the obstacles highlighted by him that hindered the Muslims‟ march towards making this
world a better place for them and others as well.
Iqbal's Ideas for the Restoration of Muslim Dynamism(Journal Paper)Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
Islam seeks to develop the human minds to a total submission to Allah the Almighty. Through its divine guidance, the Qur’an ushered a large section of the masses in Arabia from the darkness of ignorance into knowledge and enlightenment of their souls. Islam grew from a humble beginning into a mighty civilizational force. Islamic civilization like all other civilizations, started to decline after reaching its pinnacle of success. Ever since the fall of Baghdad in 1258, the Muslim world has been confronted with endless
problems in all fields of life. Colonization of Muslim lands by the West had created the knowledge and technological gap between them and their colonizers. Being subjected to colonization, neo-colonization, and now globalization, Muslims are lagging behind other communities of the world. The Muslim minds which once came up with great ideas, discoveries, innovation and inventions, at the moment somehow become less prolific, and experiencing a state of lethargy and malaise. In realizing the great challenges faced by the Muslims in the modern world, this research intends to re-visit Iqbal’s ideas to remedy the awful situations experienced by the Ummah.
A Critical Appraisal of Freud's Ideas on Man and Personality (pre-publication...Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
This paper is the pre-publication work on Freud. In its published version the paper lost many vital information due to limitation of space. Since the paper has caught the attention of many researchers in Asia and Europe, I have uploaded the actual version of the paper before it went through editing. A more comprehensive analysis of Freud can be read in " Iqbal's Theory of Personality: A Contrastive Analysis with Freud" by Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak.
Education all over the world, regardless of the East or West, is seen as a means of transferring,
transmitting and inculcating beneficial knowledge, information, culture, heritage, positive values,
good thinking, etc. from one generation of people to another through the teachi ng and learning
process. If the ultimate aim of education is to produce a good man (Insan as-Soleh) from the
Islamic perspective, who is not only kind, loving, just and fair to himself but also to flora and
fauna and humanity at large, then education has a need to address the issue on Riba (usury or
interest). It is our conviction that the inherent nature of Riba, which is ‘injustice’, ‘oppression’
and ‘exploitation’, which causes misery and many other serious problems to people on the
national and global level, presently, has not been adequately addressed to the public of the world.
The very people who created the system of modern banking and economy are aware of how the
Ribawi system works well for them, and at the same time, it strangles their clients. The fact that
most banks and financial institutions use modern terminology which disguises the element of
Riba/usury/interest makes the commoners unaware of how their hard-earned income is sapped
away by such financial institutions. Despite the ingeniousness of the experts in conventional
banking and economic management, the latest unfolding of events in the West, which started
with the declining of the American economy( Lee,2010, Rodrigue,2010, Tremblay,2010) , and a
near bankruptcy situation declared in countries like Greece (Fasfalis,2010, Pilger2010,
Hudson,2010) and Iceland (Ananda,21010, Pritchard,2010, Valdimarsson,2010) have cautioned
the Western economists that their fundamentals of economy and money management are no
longer sound.
The Islamic world has witnessed the emergence of great number of Muslim scholars. The names of those who made positive contributions are mentioned till to these days. The poet-philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal is one of those great scholars who have left a legacy behind to be followed by other scholars particularly in the area of how to deal with the West. His own reconciliatory
approach in dealing between the West and the Islamic world should be an interesting one. Within the confines of this paper, the researcher would like to explore and analyze the life, works and mission of Iqbal, focusing on his philosophical approach to Muslim ummah.
Since ancient times, scholars in the West have shown great enthusiasm towards understanding
the subject on man and personality. Driven by this zeal, there appeared a multitude
of theories discussing man and his nature. Various concepts on man showcased by
the scholars, quite often, complemented one another and, at times, their ideas contradicted
and discredited one another. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) the founding father of
psychoanalysis presented to the world a concept on man and his personality which
turned out to be a controversial one. His idea of man seems to have shaped the western
culture and human psyche in general. What appears from the impact of Freud’s concept
of man and personality is that it has denigrated man. This paper represents an appraisal
of his idea of man and personality from human angle.

Islamic Psychology and the Call for Islamization of Modern Psychology (Journa...Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
The shifting of paradigms in modern psychology has left modern men in a state
of confusion on the issues pertaining to what should be the paramount concern
of psychology and in the proper understanding on the topic of human nature. In a contrastive manner Islamic psychology which has been promoted by Muslim
scholars alongside with the process of Islamization of knowledge and education, has its roots in the philosophical ideas of early Muslim scholars. Its resurgence, which started some two decades ago, is seen as an initiative to introduce Islamic understanding on man to the conflicting ideas prevalent in modern psychology. Its approach, which is mainly philosophical in nature, goes back to the ideas on
man mentioned in the two primary sources of Islam, the Qur’an and Hadith. Islamic psychology with its comprehensive ideas on human nature has been seen by Muslim scholars as a new perspective in psychology that can fill in the lacunae present in the modern psychological thoughts on man, and clears the mist that surrounds most Western theories on man. This paper represents anattempt to analyze and also synthesize Western psychology and Islamic psychology in terms of their nature, development, contributions, and problems.
The topic on man and nature is one that has been discussed over the centuries. This topic has caught the attention of many scholars that come from many diverse field of specialization. As an appreciation to the great contribution of nature to the human survival, some have equated nature to God. Since the two are synonymous to them, they worship nature alongside with God. Others thought that nature is an obstacle to the human lives and men need to conquer and prevail over nature. In the light of these two extreme positions, this paper intends to explore and investigate the relationship between man and nature from the Islamic perspective. Apart from that, this paper would like to find out as to why the Muslim community is not paying due attention to the conservation and preservation of nature at a time when there is a serious call made by others to stop the ongoing environmental degradation that is happening all over the world. It is hoped that an investigation of this nature would bring to light as to what should be the ideal relationship of man with nature from the Islamic perspective.
Globalization and its Impact on Education and Cultur (journal paper)Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
In the history of Islam, the fall of Baghdad in 1258 indicates the decline of the Islamic empires.
The fall of the empires also marked the fall of the Islamic civilization and intellectualism. As the Islamic empires
fell one after another, starting with Baghdad, this left the Muslims in a pathetic condition, hardly able to regain
the prestigious position once they held on the world stage. The internal conflicts within the Ummah, also in a
way failed them in making any significant contribution during the great Industrial Revolution that happened
in the West. After that, Western colonization of Muslim lands, to some extent deprived them the success of
reconstructing and regaining the great civilization once they had during their heydays. Ever since the fall of
Baghdad,the Muslims are constantly bombarded with challenges they have to face in maintaining their faith,
culture and heritage. In modern times, after their independence, one of the serious problems they have to face is globalization. Globalization which started sometime ago is an ongoing thing that cannot be stopped. It is a
multifaceted phenomenon which ramifies into all areas of the human life. Since the idea of globalization is a
thing that comes from the rich and affluent countries of the West, many in the developing and third world
countries welcome it with much delight as it offers them a great deal in terms of capital flow which promises
prosperity.Others perceive it with a doubtful and skeptical attitude by questioning as to what are the hidden
agendas of globalization. To them, globalization is a new agenda of the West to re-colonize the East. It is seen
as a new approach of how the Western hegemony can be imposed on the political, economic, social, cultural
and other aspects of the people in the East, particularly in the Muslim world. In the light of the present world
scenario,this paper intends to explore what globalization is all about, what sort of impact it has on the Islamic
civilization, very particularly in the areas of education and culture. Since globalization is irreversible, the paper
also aims at discussing on how the Muslim countries should strategize in facing the ferocious onslaught of
the tidal waves of globalization that have touched their shores.
Abstract
Human nature is a widely and popularly discussed topic not only in the East but also in
the West. This topic has drawn people from diverse backgrounds of knowledge to
explore and investigate who or what man is in relation to his Creator and other
creations that exist in the universe. The research on man and the attempts to answer
many of the intricate questions related to his creation and existence which started in the
ancient past is still on-going. The fact that the latest findings on man have added
information to the existing body of knowledge makes the study on human nature a
dynamic and perennial one. Within the scope of thispaper, the researcher has made an
attempt to discuss the topic on human nature from the Islamic perspective. In
discussing the nature of man, the researcher has ventured into the physical and
metaphysical realms of his existence as described in the Qur’an. Besides that, the
researcher has also entertained some discussions on how man has been perceived in the
mainstream Western and Islamic psychologies. In concluding the paper, the researcher
has anchored the discussion as to why the study on human nature is important
The subject on man and personality is one that has been discussed over the centuries. This topic has caught the attention of many scholars of diverse specialization in the East and West. The studies conducted on man, be it in the areas of psychology, biology, religion, history, anthropology, sociology, humanities, etc, are all aimed at exploring the yet undiscovered areas of his nature and potentials. Researchers believe that any latest findings on man will be added information to the existing knowledge and science on man. It is believed that such information can be beneficial in solving many of the problems faced by modern man who lives in an ever-changing world. Idealistically it is thought that solutions found in overcoming man’s problems, are expected to improve his quality of life and his state of psychological well being as an individual coexisting with others, including the flora and fauna. The present study in the area of philosophical psychology is an attempt to explore, investigate and analyze the ideas of two renowned scholars originating from two different parts of the world. Very specifically the researcher would like to investigate the ideas of Muhammad Iqbal (1879-1938) and Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) pertaining to their concepts on man and personality. Iqbal and Freud wrote and lectured on the hidden forces of the human psyche. The fact that they believed that the inner dimension of man particularly the ego, which plays a pivotal role in all human behaviour and personality, draws the attention of the researcher to explore their concept on the human psyche, and on how personality development takes place in individuals. The crux of this study is aimed at conducting a contrastive analysis on the theories presented by Iqbal and Freud.

LAINFOGRAFÍA
La infografía es una representación visual o diagrama de textos escritos que en cierta manera resume
o explica; en ella intervienen diversos tipos de gráficos y signos no lingüísticos y lingüísticos
(pictogramas, ideogramas y logogramas) formando descripciones, secuencias expositivas,
argumentativas o narrativas e incluso interpretaciones, presentadas de manera gráfica normalmente
figurativa, que pueden o no coincidir con secuencias animadas y/o sonidos. La infografía nació como
un medio de transmitir información gráficamente. A los documentos elaborados con esta técnica se
los denomina infogramas.
Infografía define a una herramienta de comunicación que permite explicar visualmente procesos
complejos en piezas gráficas de fácil comprensión, donde el texto da paso a elementos visuales
explicativos. Las infografías son usadas para explicar de forma rápida y clara información o datos muy
complejos.
La infografía es una representación gráfica que incluye mapas, tablas, gráficas y diagramas, que
permite comunicar de manera simple conceptos complejos.
La infografía surgió como una nueva fuente de información de carácter visual (diagramas, gráficos,
mapas, tablas, etc) que serviría como complemento de la que aportaba el texto. Como su propio
nombre indica, se compone de dos elementos “Info” (información) y “Grafía” (imágenes o gráficos).
La Infografía es una combinación de imágenes sintéticas y textos con el fin de comunicar información
de manera visual para facilitar su transmisión.
El término Infografía se deriva del acrónimo de información + grafía. Es un término periodístico que
tiene como objetivo informar de manera diferente, por medio de dibujos, gráficos, esquemas,
estadísticas y representaciones. Por lo tanto, es un medio de comunicación que llega al receptor de
forma visual, Nigel Colmes, uno de los infografistas más prestigiosos del mundo, define este término
como: "hacer entendibles los números, los procesos y los hechos".
¿POR QUÉ USAR INFOGRAFÍAS?
- Para transmitir mensajes
- Para presentar muchísima información de forma compacta y fácil de entender.
- Para narrar causas y efectos y saber porque ocurren determinadas cosas.
- Porque nos dictaran la evolución periódica de determinados parámetros.
- Mostrar mucha información valiéndose de recursos gráficos para no saturar una imagen.
TIPOS DE INFOGRAFÍA
Las infografías pueden dividirse en las categorías de gráficos, mapas, tablas y diagramas. Los gráficos son los más
comúnmente utilizados y presentan información numérica y estadística. Se dividen, a su vez, en gráficos de barra, de
torta y de fiebre.
El gráfico de barras funciona preferentemente con
unidades y lo que hace es establecer una
comparación entre ellas. Las barras presentan el
mismo ancho y el alto depende de la cantidad que
representen.
2. COLEGIO HISPANO INGLES
TECNOLOGIA E INFORMATICA – SOTOCARLOS@2016
El gráfico de pay indica la división de partes de un todo y sus
proporciones, especialmente en porcentajes. Está
representado por un círculo que supone un todo y se
encuentra dividido en partes. Estas partes no deben ser
muchas, especialmente cuando suponen pequeñas partes del
todo que se presenta, pues el gráfico se vuelve confuso y la
información se ve desordenada.
El gráfico de línea o línea muestra los cambios,
expresados en números, a través del tiempo. Los
gráficos de fiebre funcionan si: "1) la línea que traza
el cambio de cantidades representa un período de
tiempo y 2) si cada cantidad establecida dentro de
la línea representa incrementos por igual del
tiempo indicado". Lo que ocurre es que algunas
veces se quiere comparar incrementos o caída de
cantidades entre lapsos de tiempo que no sin
iguales, lo cual es engañoso y confunde al lector.
El mapa es necesario para mostrar la ubicación de un acontecimiento. El
público lector está siempre interesado en conocer dónde ha ocurrido un
determinado hecho. Cuando se realiza un mapa de una determinada zona
de una ciudad, por ejemplo, a veces es
sólo necesario ubicar las calles más importantes que circundan en suceso;
dibujar cada calle puede ser confuso.
La tabla es un cuadro sencillo en el que
se presentan datos descriptivos que, a
veces, no son fáciles de cruzarse y no se
pueden comparar con facilidad. Puede
aparecer como una simple lista de datos
que se colocan en varias columnas, una
al lado de la otra. Generalmente es
buena cuando organiza información
compleja que no puede presentarse
utilizando, por ejemplo, un gráfico de
barra o de fiebre.
El diagrama es un gráfico que puede precisar de
mayores habilidades artísticas. "Cuando el
propósito del cuadro es mostrar cómo se ve o
funciona algo, un diagrama es más apropiado
que los números o la prosa". Los objetos o
sucesos pueden mostrarse con leyendas o
pueden ser graficados de diversos ángulos, su
interior, o cómo un objeto ha evolucionado. De
esta manera, podemos graficar un accidente, el
interior de un edificio o cómo un objeto ha
evolucionado, el funcionamiento de una cámara
de televisión debajo del agua o la caída de un
niño en un pozo.

LOS PASOS PARA CREAR UNA INFOGRAFÍA SON:
1. Elija el tema de la infografía
El primer paso para hacer una infografía es elegir el tema de la infografía. Algunos ejemplos generales de temas para
hacer infografías son:
La explicación de un concepto
La explicación de una tecnología
Datos estadísticos
Resumen de un documento
Es ideal que la idea sea popular en Internet y en especial en las redes sociales ya que esto facilitará la viralidad de
la infografía cuando esté concluida. Monitorear cuentas de Twitter y Facebook de su público objetivo le ayudará a
identificar los temas de moda en las redes sociales.
2. Identifique las fuentes de información para la infografía
Se debe realizar un proceso de recolección de datos del tema a abordar. Es muy importante ir registrando las fuentes
de información ya que son un elemento importante en la infografía.
Algunas fuentes de información a tener en cuenta son: Google, blogs, Youtube, Slideshare, Twitter, Wikipedia,…
periódicos electrónicos, sitios especializados, etc.
Dentro de las fuentes de información también se pueden incluir encuestas online u offline realizadas por nosotros.
Un aspecto muy importante en este paso es validar que la información recopilada sea cierta ya que existen fuentes de
información poco confiables. Los sitios .gov y .edu suelen ser muy buenas fuentes de información.
3. Organice las ideas
Es importante organizar la información recopilada agruparla por tema y subtemas, para esto puede ser útil un programa
de mapa conceptual.
Se deben descartar los aspectos que sean poco relevantes o poco interesantes, esto evitará que nos ahoguemos en el
mar de información recopilada en el punto anterior.
4. Cree la infografía en grises (bosquejo)
Una vez organizada la información recopilada, se debe empezar a realizar un bosquejo de la infografía.
Es posible que durante esta etapa no percatemos de la necesidad de descartar más información que consideremos que
no es indispensable para transmitir la idea que queremos plasmar en la infografía.
Esta etapa es fundamental ya que será la que le de creatividad y claridad a la infografía.
5. Diseñe la infografía. En el diseño se debe tener en cuenta:
Estilo original: Se debe evitar copiar conceptos gráficos de otras infografías.
Integración: Una infografía debe ser rica gráficamente evitando diseñarla con mucho texto.
Color: Se deben usar colores con buen contraste para facilitar la lectura. Una excelente herramienta que facilita la
selección de colores es color.adobe.com
Fuentes: Una infografía debe tener un uso creativo de fuentes y tamaños de letras. El sitio Dafont.com contiene una
amplia variedad de fuentes que pueden tomarse como guía.
Íconos: Una infografía debe contener imágenes simples (íconos) para poder comunicar de manera adecuada. El sitio
Iconarchive.com tiene muy buen material.
