Sejarah klasifikasi ilmu-ilmu keislaman dan perkembangannya dalam Ilmu Perpustakaan

The history of the development of Islamic civilization can be divided into three parts, namely: the classical period (650 -1250), the middle period (1250-1800) and the modern period (1800-present). In the classical period, Islamic scholarly discourse reached a high level that could contribute to the development of sciences in the following period. The sciences that developed in Islamic history were very complex and various, and religious sciences were only a branch of Islamic sciences as a whole. The progress of Islamic civilization is related to the progress of all aspects or fields of Islamic scholarship. The division of sciences came from various Muslim scientists, and not infrequently there emerged disharmony between the various fields of Islamic sciences. To overcome this disharmony various Muslim thinkers and scholars have produced the classification of sciences with their hierarchy. In Islam there is not really an essential separation between religious sciences and general sciences. In term of knowledge management, Indonesian libraries have arranged their resources and materials according to a specific arrangement. The guideline of Islamic classification first published by the National Library was the classification of library materials on Indonesia according to DDC using 2X0 notation. In the guideline of Islamic classification, Islamic sciences are divided into major groups which consist of Islam (general), Tafsir (Qur’anic exegesis) , Hadith (the Prophetic traditions), Aqa’id and Ilmukalam (theology), Fiqh (Islamic law), Akhlaq and Tasawuf (mysticism), Social and Cultural subjects, Philosophy and Islamic development, sects in Islam, and Islamic history.
