The Muslim World has been upholding the Tawhidic concept over the entire historical period, spurring the rise of the great Islamic civilization. In presenting the intellectual revival, Arabic epistemology in Islamic sciences is categorized based on the directions of its various aspects. However, without the appropriate division of sources in Islamic sciences, the combination of theory and practice has failed to bring the desired results. The Islamic sciences, as presented currently, are not commensurate with their magnitude, depth and brilliance as can be unveiled of Islamic Knowledge from many sources in the Muslim World. The gigantic sources in Islamic sciences, such as books, film, journals, manuscripts, inscriptions, etc., need to be discovered seriously and rearranged based on current requirement through re-paraphrasing the record or data collection to unleash the understanding of Arabic epistemology since the beginning of Abbasid caliphate. A significant revelation is necessary for developing a genuine Muslim scholar in attempting an intellectual revival of Islamization of Knowledge. Unfortunately, very few scholars nowadays can directly refer to and read the original from this kind of source. The inability to draw information from Classic Arabic sources has dire consequences, as the translation may not be consistent with the seeds. It is not to deny translation sources' prominent role and contribution in transferring classical knowledge. Without the translation, many sources, either in Arabic classic or standard or any other sources, would not be able to reach the new generations. The descriptive and analytic approaches demonstrate how Islamic sciences have been eclipsed, thereby diminishing its actual worth as the world's pioneer in the science of knowledge.
