What do you think of Islam and Science?

Question

Do you think they're compatible or not? What do you think of this?

"SCIENCE WITHOUT ISLAMIC TOOLS, IS DEADLY LAME; AND CEASES TO BE REALLY SCIENCE

However, one should not conclude from above written statements, that Islam is against science or that there is a trade-off between science and Islam. It is clear that the reality is otherwise. Islam supports the science; but a full and continuous science, which does not include conjectures, a science which does not stop to take responsibility for explaining some facts after a point, a science able to explain itself too. Islam being the Ultra-Science, gives us tools to understand everything including science; and bestows upon science the place it deserves; while in the present mentality, science is something that makes us understand physical, chemical, biological, ... events; but does not provide us with any tool to understand itself.

When the latter is the situation, how can one say that science is able to explain us anything, even the simplest thing convincingly?

Answer 1

Islam and science have a long history of compatibility. Indeed, science--the system of inquiry based on experimentation and analysis--was developed by a Muslim acting on his faith.

The eleventh-century Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham was a devout Muslim. He believed that human beings are flawed and only God is perfect. To discover the truth about nature, he reasoned, one had to eliminate human opinion and error and allow the universe to speak for itself. “The seeker after truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them,” he wrote, “but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration.”

Ibn al-Haytham designed physical experiments to test hypotheses, developing the system of inquiry known as the scientific method.

Ibn al-Haytham remained a devout Muslim throughout his life. “It became my belief that for gaining access to the effulgence and closeness to God, there is no better way than that of searching for truth and knowledge,” he wrote.

A verse in the Qur’an states, “Those who remember Allah…reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth.” The Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, said, “Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim.”

Islam is not only compatible with science; its tenets provided the impetus for systematic experimentation to discover the truth.

Answer 2

First of all religion has nothing to do with science. We muslims think that only Allah knows what he made. Science just gets clues. Nobody knows better then god. For people who believe in Jesus Christ. Do you think that science can prove everything that Jesus made? No. Not in a billion years. Only god knows whats out there. No one else.

Answer 3

Most alleged Muslim scientific discoveries were plagiarized or based on what the Greeks and others had discovered before the advent of Islam.
Islamic scholars even plagiarized the mistakes others made before them.

>>Do you think they're compatible or not?<<

Based on this Islamic 'scientific' explanation of why polygyny, but not polyandry, is acceptable, no:

"A woman who has more than one husband will have several sexual partners at the same time and has a high chance of acquiring venereal or sexually transmitted diseases which can also be transmitted back to her husband even if all of them have no extra-marital sex. This is not the case in a man having more than one wife, and none of them having extra-marital sex." -- Dr. Zakir Naik

Answer 6

Science is based of provable facts and measurable experiments---religion, any Religion, is a matter of Faith and belief without scientific proof. That is the very nature and definition of religion and faith----Don't feel as if you have to validate your Faith by citing acceptance of science. What you believe is just as valid as what anyone else believes, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, including yourself. The beauty of it is that most science strengthens our Faith----Blessings!

Answer 7

They are not compatible. Islam has nothing to teach us about the world other than about the fantasies of religion.
