Introduction to Islamic civilization is a survey of ideas, events, institutions, communities, literature, arts, sciences, cultures, and practices since the 7th century. Islam, as a major system of beliefs and practices in the world, affects both Muslims and non-Muslims. Therefore, in this course we focus on the variety of ways in which Muslims and non-Muslims have understood and interpreted Islam. We will review the discussions surrounding the life of the Prophet of Islam, Islamic pre-modern and modern history, the place and role of individuals and society, the legal and economic status of various social groups including women, Islamic and Arabic arts and literatures, and Islamic governments and movements. As a survey course, we will examine these topics through an Integrated Knowledge Learning approach--drawing on the most refined, tested, and established knowledge in relevant disciplines.

Human rights is a universal concept that is present in many academic disciplines as well as many areas of public life. This wide presence allows human rights offenses to be considered both crimes and moral offenses. For example, in education, human rights courses can be taught as an international studies course, where the discussion would focus on morality, or as a law course, where the discussion would center around legality. On a broader scale, the United Nations has created documents that cover both moral and legal boundaries.

These clips will teach students at least four things about the Arabic alphabet:
1. The proper pronunciation of each of the Arabic letters associated with the three short vowels (A, U, E).
2. The proper pronunciation of the "sun" and "moon" letters when the sample words are used with and without the definite article "al" [the].
3. The pronunciation of the nominative "tanween", which is the case ending of nouns and adjectives that are indefinite. Once the definite article "al" is added, notice the single damma as the case ending, instead of tanween.
4. Learning the handwritten shapes and names of the Arabic letters; first the name, then each letter is written is the initial, medial, and final position (of a word). Since some Arabic letters connect on both sides to other letters and some don't, students should pay attention to that on the graphics.
These videos clips are useful for practicing proper pronunciation of the Arabic letters. For this reason, the clips are kept short so that students can listen to them many times over.
