Overview

The Qur'an provides broader guidelines about a number of scientific facts and various phenomenons that take place in the universe. One important line of demarcation between the divine guidance about the natural phenomenon and the scientific laws and theories that is to be appreciated is that divine laws, facts and phenomenon and values are eternal and infallible while as scientific laws and theories are subject to change, modification and are even contestable. Physical sciences are not infallible and that scientific axioms are not necessarily the last word on the subject. There can be no such thing as an absolute scientific truth. Something that was universally accepted in the past as scientifically correct might not be accepted today in the light of latter day scientific experimentation and discoveries. Similarly, what is acceptable today in the world of science might be disputed and disproved in course of time. This does not, however, mean that no heed should be paid to purely science and scientific research or this* does not mean that scientific research should be considered as an exercise in futility. Science is not divine revelation but it may serve as a means for betterment of mankind and may help to develop a better understanding of Allah's creation and its purpose.1
