Quran And Science: Exploring Grey Areas

Abstract

Islam and Science have a long and complex relationship, with both fields influencing each other in different ways. While there are many areas of overlap and compatibility, there are also several grey areas where tensions and disagreements exist. The relationship between the Quran and Science has been a topic of much discussion and debate over the years. While some argue that the Quran contains scientific knowledge that was only discovered by modern science, others believe that the Quran should be interpreted metaphorically and not as a scientific text. This analytical study aims to identify and analyze the grey areas that exist in the relationship between the Quran and Science through a review of relevant literature and analysis of Quranic verses. The study found that while there are areas of overlap and compatibility, there are also several grey areas where tensions and disagreements exist, particularly in the interpretation of Quranic verses related to science. There are also several areas of tension such as the role of women in scientific pursuits, and the relationship between Islam and modern scientific theories. The study concludes that there is a need for a deeper understanding and dialogue between the two fields to address these grey areas and promote a more harmonious relationship between Islam and Science.

The study concludes that there is a need for a more nuanced and contextual understanding of these verses to promote a harmonious relationship between the Quran and Science.
