The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible?

Description

"The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible?" is a book that explores the relationship between the teachings of the Qur'an and the findings of modern science. Authored by various scholars, it delves into whether the Qur'an and scientific knowledge are in agreement or if there are conflicts between them. The book presents arguments from both perspectives. On one hand, it highlights instances where the Qur'an seems to anticipate scientific discoveries or where its teachings align with modern scientific understanding. This includes references to embryology, astronomy, and cosmology, among other fields. The authors argue that these apparent alignments demonstrate the compatibility between the Qur'an and modern science. On the other hand, the book also addresses areas where there might be apparent discrepancies or where scientific understanding seems to contradict certain interpretations of Qur'anic verses. Critics may argue that such discrepancies suggest an incompatibility between religious teachings and scientific knowledge. Overall, the book aims to stimulate discussion and contemplation on the relationship between religious scripture and scientific discovery. It encourages readers to critically examine both sources of knowledge and to seek a harmonious understanding that respects the insights offered by both the Qur'an and modern science.
