The Quran and The Construction of Scientific Mind by Enis Doko & Caner Taslaman

We will utilize a philosophical perspective in our discussion of the science-religion relationship in Islam. We will limit our investigation to the Quran, the holy book and foundational text of Islam. Although the Quran is the primary religious reference for Muslims, historical events, interpretations of different sects, the hadiths (later accounts of things said or done by Muhammad), political movements, and Sufi schools of thought, etc. have influenced Muslim understandings of science. Thus, a study that focuses only on the Quran precludes a host of Islamic views on its relation with science. However, given the authority of the Quran, it should function first and foremost in Islamic understandings of the issues related to science is evident.
The phrase “science – Quran relationship” is often associated with the evaluation of the Quran’s content or validations of its authority through scientific theories (this is called ijaz). For example, some hold that the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Evolution can be evaluated with respect to Quranic texts. Others argue that the Quran affirms the expansion of the universe and the descriptions of the stages of the embryo in mother’s womb in ways remarkably consonant with recent scientific discoveries. The expression also hearkens back to the era when Muslims established the most sophisticated civilization of science and philosophy during 9th - 13th centuries. While all of these aspects of Islam-science relationship are important, none will be our main focus. Instead, we will focus on the Quran and its claims for scientific activities.
According to the Islamic faith, the Quran was revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad for the salvation of humankind. The Quran’s message contains a God-centered ontology, explanations of what will happen in the afterlife, statements that this message is the final ring in a historical chain of prophetic messages, anecdotes about how societies lived in the past, moral commands, rituals to be performed and actions that should be avoided. The Quran is primarily concerned with what should be believed in and second with what should and should not be done in life. Likewise, the scientific endeavor includes both rightly held beliefs and rightly ordered practices. In our discussion of the relationship between the Quran and science, we will focus on these two aspects—belief and practice. The first part of the book is devoted to the former and the second to the latter...
