Essay on islam and science

The answer is quite clear at least for those Muslims who know the intellectual life of Islam: revelation and intellectual intuition or vision ( dhawq, kashf or shuhūd) . [11] The Muslim intellectual saw revelation as the primary source of knowledge not only as the means to learn the laws of morality concerned with the active life.

Few subjects arouse more passion and debate among Muslims today than the encounter between Islam and modern thought.

The Muslim scientists worked on Astronomy, physics and other sciences and scientist from the west consider it as start of scientific Era. When go in to details of the Islamic scientific study, it is mostly related to Quran.

Modernism is thus contrasted with tradition ( ad-dīn ); the latter implies all that which is of Divine Origin along with its manifestations and deployments on the human plane while the former by contrast implies all that is merely human and now ever more increasingly subhuman, and all that is divorced and cut off from the Divine Source.
