Science and Islam
Evolution, the universe, and whether the Quran conflicts with science.
Answered
Is Islam against science?
No. The first word revealed of the Quran was “Read” (96:1), and the Quran repeatedly tells people to study and reflect on the natural world. For centuries, Muslim scholars led the world in mathematics, medicine, astronomy and optics. Islam sees studying creation as a way of understanding the Creator.
