Islam and Science/ Volume3

For centuries, Islamic civilization has engaged deeply with questions about the natural world, knowledge, and human responsibility. Islam and Science/ Volume3 continues this intellectual tradition by examining how Islamic thought provides a coherent framework for understanding scientific inquiry without reducing faith to symbolism or science to ideology.

About the Book Islam and Science/ Volume3 explores the relationship between Islamic worldview and scientific knowledge through a reflective and analytical lens. This volume builds upon earlier discussions by focusing on how scientific discoveries can be understood within the Qur’anic vision of creation, order, and purpose. Rather than treating science as an autonomous authority detached from ethics, the book situates it within a broader metaphysical context rooted in divine wisdom.

The book emphasizes that Islam does not oppose scientific investigation; instead, it encourages the pursuit of knowledge (ʿilm, knowledge grounded in understanding and responsibility) as an act of worship when aligned with moral and spiritual objectives. Scientific laws are presented not as rivals to divine action, but as signs (āyāt, indicators pointing to God’s wisdom) embedded within creation.
