Preaching the light of Islam all over the World for the betterments in the world and hereafter.

  Abstract The Qur’an is a complete code covering all aspects of life, whether spiritual, intellectual, political, social, economic or scientific. It is a code which has no boundaries of time, place or nation. These messages are spread throughout the Qur’an in a variety of ways, such as direct stipulation, reminders of Allah’s favors in His creation, stories of past communities followed by the lessons which have to be learned from them, and allusions to knowledge that has subsequently been proven as fact through modern scientific methods. This paper is a reading of selected verses in the Qur’an that relate to scientific research and technology. Based on the reading, it concludes that the Qur’an encourages an engagement with scientific research and technological innovations and development. Keywords: Big bang model, solar energy, escape velocity, flight of birds, elementary particles, kitab al-Qur’an: model Big bang, Introduction Science compels scientists to admit to the es...

 

  In   An Anthropology of the Qur’an , Ahmed Achrati explores how the Quran frames representations of God and engagement with the divine. The central claim of his study is unconventional: Achrati argues that the understanding and representations of God within Islamic traditions not only contrast with, but in fact invert, the representation of God as framed in the Quran itself. Whereas Islamic authorities have traditionally emphasized God’s similitude to humans, Achrati contends that God is in fact characterized by an absolute alterity, captured in God’s name   al-Quddūs   (“the Pure,” “the Holy”).   Al-Quddūs , for Achrati, signifies a conception of the divine that lies beyond the limits of human reason. An acknowledgment of God’s otherness therefore holds emancipatory potential, he argues. With high readability and interdisciplinary erudition, Achrati sets out to establish this bold claim, leading the reader past the linguistic intricacy of the Quran and founda...

Philosophical Teachings of the Qur’an Philosophical Teachings of the Qur’an by M.M Sharif The Qur'an Although the Scriptures revealed to the earlier prophets, especially those of the Christians and the Jews, are regarded by the Muslims as holy, yet the Book (al‑Qur'an) revealed to the last Prophet, Muhammad, is their chief sacred Book. The doctrine propounded by the Qur'an is not a new doctrine, for it is similar to the Scriptures of the earlier apostles. 1  It lays down the same way of faith as was enjoined on Noah and Abraham. 2 It con­firms in the Arabic tongue what went before it, the Book of Moses and the Gospel of Jesus‑in being a guide to mankind, admonishing the unjust and giving glad tidings to the righteous. 3  God never abrogates or causes to be for­gotten any of His revelations, but according to the needs and exigencies of the times, He confirms them or substitutes for them something similar or better.  4 The Qur'an is a book essentially religious, not philo...
