This book offers a clear and engaging introduction to modern science and to Islam’s view of it from religious, epistemological, and civilizational perspectives. Using historical reviews, fundamental questions on nature, and foundational concepts, the book traces the emergence of modern science and its distinctive methodology, arriving at the essential, established knowledge that every educated reader should possess in physics, astronomy, and biology.
The book then addresses key critiques of modern science, including those raised by Muslim thinkers, and explores debated topics such as evolutionary theory, genetic engineering, and climate change, assessing their place within the Islamic worldview. At a time of mounting global developmental challenges, the book advocates for an open, mature, and responsible scientific culture, one that balances science and faith and equips people (Muslims and non-Muslims) with the necessary knowledge and tools to engage the modern world with both confidence and critical insight.
