Quranic Inspirations

The great universal Muslim scientists, about thousand years ago, were at the forefront of knowledge, particularly in the sciences and technology without ever giving up their religion. In fact Islam in general and the Qur'an in particular inspired the Muslim scientists to seek and advance knowledge and paved the way for modern science. By moving away from the in depth study of the Qur'an Muslims have lost the golden opportunity of many a scientific discovery and advancement of knowledge.Science is not a divine revelation but it provides a means for the welfare of man and to better understanding the creation of Allah (SWT), the natural phenomena and their purpose. Islam exhorts its followers to relentlessly pursue knowledge. One-third of the Qur'an exhorts its readers to think and reflect upon the natural phenomena.Syed, Ibrahim is the author of 'Quranic Inspirations', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595450039 and ISBN 0595450032.
