The Qur'an and Modern Science: Divine Miracles and the Quest for Human Knowledge
By Sarwat Parvez
Is faith opposed to science-or do they speak the same universal language?
In The Qur'an and Modern Science: Divine Miracles and the Quest for Human Knowledge, Sarwat Parvez presents a compelling exploration of the deep harmony between Qur'anic revelation and modern scientific discovery. Written with clarity and intellectual depth, this book invites readers on a journey through the universe, life, and human consciousness-guided by both reason and faith.
Covering fields such as cosmology, astronomy, geology, embryology, biology, oceanography, ecology, and linguistics, the book examines Qur'anic verses that describe natural phenomena long before their scientific discovery. Topics include the origin and expansion of the universe, the layered structure of the atmosphere, the stabilizing role of mountains, the water cycle, embryonic development, DNA, the balance of ecosystems, barriers between seas, deep-sea darkness, the cosmic origin of iron, and the future fate of the universe.
Rather than treating science and religion as rivals, this work demonstrates how scientific exploration strengthens reflection, and how revelation encourages the pursuit of knowledge. The Qur'an emerges not as a textbook of science, but as a timeless guide that inspires observation, inquiry, humility, and ethical responsibility.
This book is ideal for:
Readers interested in Islam and science
Students of philosophy, theology, and natural sciences
Seekers exploring the relationship between faith, reason, and modern knowledge
Anyone curious about the scientific signs within the Qur'an
The Qur'an and Modern Science offers a thoughtful reminder that true knowledge does not lead humanity away from the Creator-but closer to understanding purpose, balance, and meaning in the vast universe.
