The Quran Leads the Way to Science – By Harun Yahya HilalPlaza.com Outlet Stores

An excellent book by Harun Yahya that explores the various ways in which Quran leads to science. 

The way to examine the universe and all the beings therein and to discover God’s act of creation and announce it to humanity is “science”. Therefore, religion adopts science as a way to reach the details of God’s creation and therefore encourages science. Just as a religion encourages scientific research, so does scientific research that is guided by the facts communicated by religion yield very rapid and definite results. This is because religion is the unique source that provides the most correct and definite answer to the question of how the universe and life came into being.

More About the Book

God summons humanity to investigate and reflect upon the heavens, the earth, mountains, stars, plants, seeds, animals, the alternation of the night and the day, the creation of man, the rain, and many other created things. Examining these, a man comes to recognize the artistry of God’s creation in the world around him, and ultimately, to know our Creator, Who created the entire universe and everything in it from nothing. “Science” offers a method by which the universe, and all the beings therein, may be examined to discover the artistry in God’s creation, thereby communicating it to mankind. Religion, therefore, encourages science, adopting it as a tool by which to study the subtleties of God’s creation. Religion not only encourages scientific study but also permits that, supported by the truths revealed through Islam, scientific research be conclusive and expeditious. The reason being, that religion provides accurate and definitive answers as to how life and the universe came into being. As such, if initiated upon a proper foundation, research will reveal the truths regarding the origin of the universe and the organization of life, in the shortest time, and with minimum effort and energy. As stated by Albert Einstein, considered one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, “Science without religion is lame”, which is to say, that science, unguided by religion, cannot proceed correctly, but rather, wastes much time in achieving certain results, and worse, is often inconclusive. Scientific studies pursued by materialist scientists unable to see the truth has, particularly in the last two hundred years, certainly caused a considerable amount of time to be squandered, a great deal of research to be pursued in vain and millions of dollars to have been poured down the drain to no effect.

There is one fact that must be recognized clearly: science can achieve reliable results only if it adopts as its main objective the investigation of the signs of creation in the universe, and strives solely towards this end. Science may reach its ultimate goal in the shortest possible time only if it is pointed in the right direction, that is, if it is rightly guided.
