and understand any phenomena in the universe

observations and experiments .
 Those experiments may take a very short time or over years
and years and even centuries to construct theories and laws.
 Science always run in a systematic way.
 Science totally rely on the evidences .

the humans.

5. History of Islamic science

non muslims .

7. Islam Vs Science
 Islam:

 Islam is word from creator and supreme
authority(ALLAH) .That may not need to
experiment .
 Islam as a religion is analytical, interpretative
way of thinking. and belief in divine and
invisibility of Allah and many other creatures.
 Science:

 In science experiments are of main
importance.
 Science is based upon observation,
experimentation, and the ‘if I can feel it then
its real’ mentality.

8. Islam –science-research
 The systematic study of science and religion started in the 1960s.
 The relationship between Islam and science is complex. Today, predominantly
Muslim countries, such as the United Arabic Emirates, enjoy high urbanization
and technological development, but they underperform in common metrics of
scientific research, such as publications in leading journals and number of
citations per scientist .
 Islamic countries are also hotbeds for pseudoscientific ideas, such as Old Earth
creationism, the creation of human bodies on the day of resurrection from the
tailbone, and the superiority of prayer in treating lower-back pain instead of
conventional methods.
 spiritual tenets and intellectual resources of the Islamic faith actually prompt
Muslims to search for knowledge.”
