The Quest for Scientific Knowledge through the Quranic Verses: Representation of Embryology in the Holy Quran

Abstract

Ever from the dawn of mankind, we have attempted to understand nature and our existence. For many people, science is the only legitimate source and ideal presentation of true information whilst others view religion as another authentic source. There was a sense of tension between science and religion because of this paradoxical viewpoint. Islam is no different. In light of the Quran, the primary text of the Islamic faith, this study investigates this exaggerated struggle. In essence, the study is a critique of scientism, which is defined as "the philosophy that takes for granted the idea of science being the nonpareil font for real lore." It primarily raises the question of how human-obtained scientific truth and Quranic scientific revealed truth relate to one another. The purpose of the research is to map people's perceptions of the Quran's conductivity as a genuine, accurate, and trustworthy source to explore difficult contemporary issues and preserve its coexistence with science in an era of scientific advancement. In addition to data collected from a questionnaire for Muslim physicians, the study offers a scientific-linguistic examination of a few chosen Quranic passages pertaining to embryology to guarantee a thorough comprehension. The study's conclusions demonstrate that the Quran creates a vision of the scientific mind and show that the idea of conflict is strongly disapproved of from an Islamic standpoint. Furthermore, it demonstrates the enormous possibility for harmony between the Quran and science, notwithstanding their different domains
