Together with his successors...

Together with his successors, Prophet Mohammed acted upon these Verses and interpreted the Message of God – as per the wisdom and intellect levels of people, which remain valid until the Doomsday.\u00a0 In contrast, scientific discoveries have taken place over the course of many centuries, across a vast spectrum of subjects. In this article, only some topics are referred to, with respect to Islamic perspectives.

\n Islam encourages one to think, reflect and organise affairs for the betterment of oneself as well as others, [5] but has God Given complete freedom to humankind to manage their affairs? No, the freedom is with bounds and compulsion is also with limits; in Islam the matter is between the two. [6] \n Science has its own restrictions and bounds imposed by the society but subject to change, depending upon the observed harms or perceived risks to humanity or nature.

And this does not come without controversies, as there are political and economic gains spoiling the positivity of science, i.e., production of lethal weapons, causing economic instabilities and harming the environment.

\u00a0In predominantly Muslim countries, the same is practised through misinterpretations of Holy Verses of Quran, hence the fruits of its principles and knowledge are only reflected in some individuals who try to adhere to its true message.\u00a0 Both Islam and science recommend to abstain when in doubt, whether it is practised or not.\u00a0 At this point, it will be useful to briefly define Islam and science: \n Islam: The religion Muslims follow, a monotheistic faith, revised and resent as was revealed many times before through earlier Prophets and Messengers, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.

God revealed His Last Book (Quran) through His last Prophet, Muhammad (c. 570 \u2013 632 CE) [7] , and it is valid and applicable until the end of time. \n Science: The intellectual and practical campaign encompassing the systematic study of life and the universe focusing on the behaviour of physical and natural occurrences through observations and carefully designed experiments. \n Do these very different approaches ever reconcile?

Yes, when science touches upon certainty and finds that which has been \u2018correctly interpreted\u2019 as being foretold by Islam. \n Finally, scientific knowledge is improving with new research and discoveries.
