Tābiīn in the Formation of the Sciences of Riwayah and Dirayah
Islamic culture and civilization, whose foundations were laid during the period of the Companions, continued to develop throughout the period of the Tābiīn, extending the geography of Islam from al-Māverānayn to al-Andalus. Beyond forming Islamic culture and civilization, the Tābiīn’s most significant influence was in establishing the Islamic sciences. The generation of the Tābiīn transmitted the scholarly heritage received from the Companions to subsequent generations, laying the foundations of Islamic sciences and determining the initial scientific methods.
As the founding generation of the Islamic sciences with a decisive influence in every field, it became necessary to organize comprehensive scholarly meetings to explore the Tābiīn generation from all aspects. For this purpose, Sakarya University Faculty of Theology and the Islamic Sciences Research Foundation (ISAV) planned a symposium series titled “The Founding Generation of Islamic Sciences, the Tābiīn”. The first of these scholarly meetings was held on May 6-7, 2023, with the subtitle “The Identity of the Tābiīn and the Establishment of Islamic Sciences”. It was deemed appropriate to discuss the influence of the Tābiīn generation on the sciences of riwayah and dirāyah and other subjects in the second meeting of the series, subtitled “Tābiīn in the Formation of the Sciences of Riwayah and Dirayah”.
