The Parallel Realities of Modern Science and Islam
|
|
"Islamic Science" -- I often encounter this expression when I meet
fellow Muslims at social events and I state that I am a scientist during the
perfunctory revealing of professions. Not infrequently, my discussion partners
start talking about "Islamic Science" with a certain degree of
nostalgia and pride, because for them it conjures up the names and works of
Muslim scientists such as Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Al-Biruni (Alberonius) who
lived in the 10th and 11th centuries C.E. It is important to realize that they
are just two of the most famous representatives of the large scientific
enterprise that has flourished in Muslim history.
As shown by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the world's foremost contemporary Muslim
philosophers, Muslim scientists have pursued scientific research since the 8th
century C.E., covering a vast range of disciplines ranging from astronomy and
mineralogy to zoology and the medical sciences. However, the expression
"Islamic Science" does not necessarily only refer to the fact that
these scientists were Muslims. Instead, as suggested by another leading
contemporary Muslim philosopher of science, Osman Bakar, the expression
"Islamic Science" characterizes sciences "that were directly
based upon and conceptually in harmony with the belief system of Islam."

12 Quranic Verses for Year End Reflection
|
|
Prophet Muhammad
reminds us, "There are two of God's favors that are forgotten by many
people: health and free time."
As the current year comes to and end and we
start a new year, the following verses of the Quran reflect on the importance of
time.
Your Guardian-Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six eons,
and is firmly established on the throne (of authority): He covers the night as a
veil over the day, each seeking the other in swift succession: He created the
sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it
not His to create and to govern? Blessed be God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of
the worlds! - (Quran
7:54)
The number of months in the sight of God is twelve (in a year) - so ordained by
Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: this
is the ever-true law [of God]. So wrong not yourselves therein, and combat the
Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that God is with
those who restrain themselves. - (Quran
9:36)
