| Sumario: | Proponents of the integration of Islam into English literary studies
seek, by way of presenting Islamic worldviews in relation to the
life-worlds that English texts presumably promote, to inform (Muslim)
students and practitioners of the subject about possible untoward
influences in order to help them withstand cultural captivity
and lifestyle effects. This is part of the wider concept of integrating
Islam into human knowledge, which functions across a broad range
of subject areas and generally refers to a method of looking at academic
disciplines from Islamic perspectives and enlightening the
reader about relevant Islamic teachings. Based on this theoretical
premise, in this article I focus on the need for and three important
ways of teaching English literature: inculcating Islamic/moral values,
identifying predominant themes and ideas inherent in literary
texts and looking at them from Islamic perspectives, and reforming
the curriculum.
