Utamaduni wa Kiislamu ni taaluma ambazo masomo yake huchochewa na 'aqīdah ya Kiislamu (itikadi), iwe taaluma hizo zinajumuisha 'aqīdah ya Kiislamu na kuhakikisha usafi wake, kama vile elimu ya Tawhīd (ilm al-Tawheed), au zimejengwa juu ya 'aqīdah ya Kiislamu, kama vile fiqh (sheria ya Kiislamu), tafsīr na hadīth, au chochote kilichokuwa cha lazima kwa kuelewa kanuni zinazotokana na 'aqīdah ya Kiislamu, kama vile sayansi ya lugha ya Kiarabu, uainishaji wa istilahi za hadīth (mustalah al-hadīth) na sayansi ya misingi ya fiqh ('ilm al-usul).
