ENGLISH-ISLAM AND SCIENCE: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THEIR CONNECTION

Abstract

Misunderstanding the relationship between Islam and science often happens as a result of distorting meanings of important terms within their contexts. What kind of Islam? What category of science? These issues become important when we try to connect these two domains. This article probes into the epistemological dimensions of science with respect to Islamic perspective, looking at the ethics, societal and intellectual contributions made by Islamic scholars such as Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Al-Haytham and Al-Khwarizmi. It shows that Muslim scientists have achieved so much in earth sciences, medicine, mathematics and geometry; thereby making Islamic Intellectualism beautiful. To this end, this study adopts an exploratory survey design which is supported by content analysis. Thus, the research on Islamic Sciences will be reoriented in view of contemporary scientific discourse.
