Relationship between Science and Divine Guidance:A Comparative Study

Abstract

Religion is considered to be a rival of science. But this misunderstanding arose because the scope of both of them was not understood. Both of them work on completely different bases. The purpose of religion is to affirm and protect noble humanity. It presents an example of the perfect human being while science works on what is created by God. It is not in the scope of science. The conflict between them is just imaginary. Religion is not based on reason, philosophy, logic and witness, but faith in the unseen. Islam has not limited knowledge in any particular area. Rather, all the sciences have been gathered and the foundation of all future sciences has been laid in the Holy Qur'an.
