Islam and Science /Volume5

The relationship between religion and science has often been framed as one of conflict, yet Islamic civilization presents a markedly different historical narrative. Islam and Science /Volume5 continues a systematic exploration of how Islamic thought engaged scientific inquiry as an extension of faith, reason, and responsibility toward creation.

About the Book Islam and Science /Volume5 examines specific dimensions of scientific development within an Islamic worldview, highlighting how scientific investigation was historically integrated into theology, philosophy, and ethics. The book demonstrates that science in Islam was never pursued as a value-neutral activity but as a disciplined search for knowledge (ʿilm, knowledge grounded in truth and meaning) that ultimately points toward the Creator.

This volume builds upon earlier discussions by analyzing how Muslim scholars approached natural phenomena, causality, and experimentation while remaining anchored to Qur’anic principles. It shows how scientific activity was guided by moral constraints, intellectual humility, and an awareness of humanity’s stewardship (khilāfah, divinely entrusted guardianship) over the natural world.
