Significance of Science and Scientific Thought from the Islamic Perspective
Main Article Content
Abstract
From the very first revelation, it is clear to us that a focus on mastery of science has been given by Islam through the Glorious Qur’an. Indeed, there are many more verses in the Qur’an that provide scientific encouragement for Muslims to master this branch of knowledge. While the Qur’an does contain many scientific verses in nature, this does not mean that the Qur’an is a book of science. Instead, the Qur’an is a book of signs for those who think and understand. This paper looks at the significance of science and scientific thought in Islam, and the lessons that can be learnt from the Qur’an and the Islamic Civilisation with regards to the development of science and scientific thought. This paper also looks at how the Qur’an provides inspiration to Muslim scientists to further their research in their respective scientific fields.
