Natural Sciences in the Mirror of Islam

By: Zin Eddine Dadach   December 30, 2025

The universe has always invited humankind to reflect, to question, and to seek meaning beyond appearances. In Natural Sciences in the Mirror of Islam by Zin Eddine Dadach, the universe is presented not merely as a physical reality, but as an open book-one that speaks through order, law, and harmony. In this vision, the Holy Quran emerges as a complementary open book of the universe: a clear source of wisdom that calls humanity to observe, reflect, and search for truth. Google Books

Allah says:

"These are the Ayat (verses, lessons, evidence, and proofs) of Allah, which We recite to you with truth. Then, in which speech after Allah and His Ayat will they believe?"
(Quran 45:6)

This verse establishes a foundational principle: truth is not hidden from those who sincerely seek it. One of Allah's most beautiful Names is Al-Haqq-The Truth. Consequently, the pursuit of truth is not optional in Islam; it is a moral and spiritual responsibility. The Quran repeatedly calls on believers to observe the heavens and the earth, to reflect on creation, and to recognize the Divine Laws that govern both celestial and terrestrial realms.

Divine Laws and the Call to Scientific Reflection

Far from opposing science, the Quran encourages the study of nature as a path to deeper faith. The laws that govern motion, balance, life, and energy are not random; they are manifestations of Divine wisdom. From this perspective, the book introduces two Divine Forces and several Divine Laws, inviting the reader to see natural phenomena as signs (Ayat) pointing toward a higher order and purpose.

This approach does not reduce the Quran to a science textbook, nor does it force modern theories onto sacred verses. Instead, it restores a balanced relationship between revelation and reason-one in which faith inspires inquiry, and inquiry deepens faith.

Islam and the Legacy of Scientific Excellence

History bears witness to a time when this harmony between faith and reason flourished. The Islamic civilization was once a global leader in astronomy, medicine, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and philosophy. Muslim scholars such as Al-Biruni, Ibn Al-Haytham, and Ibn Sina approached scientific research as an act of worship, guided by ethics, humility, and a sincere quest for truth.

Natural Sciences in the Mirror of Islam highlights some of these pioneering achievements, reminding readers that scientific excellence is not foreign to Islamic tradition-it is part of its intellectual DNA. The book shows that when Muslims give knowledge, ethics, and scientific research their due place, they can contribute meaningfully to human civilization once again. Facebook

Knowledge, Ethics, and Renewal

One of the book's central messages is clear: the revival of the Muslim world is inseparable from the revival of knowledge. Scientific research without ethics leads to harm, while faith without understanding leads to stagnation. Islam calls for both-knowledge grounded in moral responsibility and guided by the recognition of Divine truth.

This work is also rooted in a personal intellectual journey shaped by study, travel, and reflection across different cultures and cities around the world. Through this journey, the author came to recognize what may be called Divine Science: an understanding of the natural world that neither denies revelation nor dismisses empirical observation, but sees them as complementary paths toward the same truth.
