The Islamization of Knowledge process is considered as one of the most important and intellectual movements of the 20ih century.

This paper focuses on the Islamization of Knowledge in general, comprising with its history, definition and pioneers. Moreover, Islamization of science subjects in specific with the objective of introducing a framework for this phenomenon, based on Al-Farouqi’s 12-step work-plan and Berghout’s framework using a descriptive theoretical theory.
