Is Science a tool to better understand the Qur an? A new book, The Scientific Muslim, says so. There are many negative perceptions and stereotypes regarding science and Islam. This book dispels these misconceptions and emphasizes that the Qur an places immense emphasis on scientific knowledge. Majority of Muslims read the Qur’an without understanding it, as Arabic is not their mother tongue. For centuries, they have been following (blindly) what is being passed on to them by their parents, peers and religious guides, without applying their minds or knowledge to analyse the message. This is against the teachings of Allah who asks believers not to behave like the deaf and dumb, but to judge everything according to logic and reason (Al-Furqan 25:73).
