King Faisal Prize in Service to Islam 1993 Laureate

The achievements in sciences, arts, and other fields are service to Islam and hence to mankind

Nationality: Bosnia
Born: August 8, 1925, Samac, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Dr. Alija Izetbegovic was awarded the prize for his distinguished efforts during the past 40 years to interpret social science within an Islamic framework. In a field dominated by Western thought, Professor Al-Saati’s far- reaching attempts to absorb theoretical issues have been coupled with a fine awareness of the realistic workings of society. All of this has qualified him to be a pioneer in authenticating sociology from an Islamic perspective. Professor Al-Saati has given sociology an Islamic validity, especially in the area of translating terminology, definitions, and concepts. In addition, his studies in the fields of family and criminology show an impressive ability to combine theory with practical application.
