In each, he has sought not merely to teach, but to rearticulate the epistemic foundations of a civilisation .<\/p><p data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"1141\">Author of over forty books and hundreds of articles, his works\u2014most notably <em data-start=\"867\" data-end=\"905\">Classification of Knowledge in Islam<\/em> and <em data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"930\">Tawhid and Science<\/em>\u2014have become touchstones in the discourse on Islamic science and philosophy. His writings are marked by a rare synthesis: analytical precision joined with a contemplative vision that seeks unity in multiplicity.<\/p><p data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1440\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Recognised among the world\u2019s most influential Muslim thinkers, and honoured with national titles, his legacy is not confined to accolades.
