This title was first published in 2002. This text seeks to provide
the necessary background for understanding the contemporary
relationship between Islam and modern science. Presenting an
authentic discourse on the Islamic understanding of the physical
cosmos, Muzaffar Iqbal explores God's relationship to the created
world and the historical and cultural forces that have shaped and
defined Muslim attitudes towards science. What was Islamic in the
Islamic scientific tradition? How was it rooted in the Qur'anic
worldview and whatever happened to it? These are some of the facets
of this account of a tradition that spans eight centuries and
covers a vast geographical region. Written from within, this
ground-breaking exploration of some of the most fundamental
questions in the Islam and science discourse, explores the process
of appropriation and transformation of the Islamic scientific
tradition in Europe during the three centuries leading up to the
Scientific revolution.
