Islamic Science Studied Perspectives

By Dr Mahmood Khalil

The Qur'an provides broader guidelines about a number of

scientific facts and various phenomenons that take place in the

universe. One important line of demarcation between the divine

guidance about the natural phenomenon and the scientific laws and

theories that is to be appreciated is that divine laws, facts and

phenomenon and values are eternal and infallible while as scientific

laws and theories are subject to change, modification and are even

contestable. Physical sciences are not infallible and that scientific

axioms are not necessarily the last word on the subject. There can be

no such thing as an absolute scientific truth. Something that was

universally accepted in the past as scientifically correct might not be

accepted today in the light of latter day scientific experimentation and

discoveries. Similarly, what is acceptable today in the world of science

might be disputed and disproved in course of time. This does not,

however, mean that no heed should be paid to purely science and

scientific research or this* does not mean that scientific research

should be considered as an exercise in futility. Science is not divine

revelation but it may serve as a means for betterment of mankind and

may help to develop a better understanding of Allah's creation and its

purpose.1
