سائنس، اسلام اور مسلم سماج

Abstract

Religion is the basic human spiritual need whereas science is the systematic observation of natural events to discover facts and then formulate laws and principles based on these discoveries. Science is a part of religion thus must not interrupt into the religious affairs and vice versa. While analyzing the subject: clash of religion and science, discussing the attitudes of Islam and Muslim society towards science is an important academic and social issue. Beliefs and philosophy of Islam compelled Muslim scholars to undergo the experience for verification and testing the knowledge, so they never denied science or the scientific inventions.

The purpose of this study is to find out the reasons for the formation and promotion of scientific thought before and during the rise of Muslims in the world (622-1500). Moreover, it aims to investigate about the civilization which has played a leading role for the development of scientific method and scientific inventions? The study also aims to find out the driving force behind this leadership and revolutionary character? Finding answers to these questions is an important academic activity. In this article the extensive point of view about the universe, society and man in the social sciences and natural sciences has been presented in the rational way.
