'Urubah and Religion: A Study of the Fundamental Ideas of Arabism and of Islam as Its Highest Moment of Consciousness (1962) is a scholarly work by Isma'il Raji al-Faruqi, published by Djambatan N.V. The book explores the concept of Arabism ('urubah), examining its historical, ethical, and spiritual dimensions, and its relationship with Islam. Al-Faruqi describes Arabism as central to Islamic history, culture, and faith, characterizing it as "the spirit which animates the stream and gives the momentum" to Islamic values.[1]
The book was intended to be the first volume in the "On Arabism" series, which was to explore themes of art, society, and human existence concerning Arabism.[2] However, these subsequent volumes were not completed as al-Faruqi eventually focused on broader Islamic thought and moved away from the specific framework of Arabism.[1][3]
