Science and Islam provides a detailed account of the relationship
between Islam and science from the emergence of the Islamic
scientific tradition in the eighth century to the present time.
This relationship has gone through three distinct phases. The first
phase began with the emergence of science in the Islamic
civilization in the eighth century and ended with the rise of
modern science in the West; the second period is characterized by
the arrival of modern science in the Muslim world, most of which at
that time was under colonial occupation; and the third period,
which began around 1950, is characterized by a more mature approach
to the major questions that modern science has posed for all
religious traditions. Based on primary sources, the book presents a
panorama of Islamic views on some of the major issues in the
current science and religion discourse. Written in accessible
language, Science and Islam is an authentic account of the
multi-faceted and complex issues that arise at the interface of
Islamic intellectual tradition and science. Rich in historical
details, the book is a fascinating survey of the interaction of
Islamic beliefs with the enterprise of science.
