The Integration of Knowledge Among Hadith Scholars in Iraq until the Fifth Century AH (Religious Sciences as a Model)

Abstract

Scholars of Hadith were concerned with the integration of knowledge across various sciences and disciplines due to its historical significance. This is because knowledge does not arise in isolation but rather complements other sciences, forming an integrated system where each science completes the others in service to humanity. Hence the title of our research, "Epistemological Integration among Hadith Scholars in Iraq up to the Fifth Century AH (Religious Sciences as a Model)." This research aims to explore the integration of knowledge among Hadith scholars in their pursuit of divine favor and the understanding and study of these religious sciences.

The researcher adopted the historical-analytical method to utilize historical narratives to understand the importance of religious solidarity among hadith scholars. The research consists of an introduction and two sections. The first section addresses the linguistic and terminological concept of intellectual integration, while the second section examines the hadith scholars' interest in religious sciences to achieve religious integration. The research concludes with a summary of its most important findings. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
