The Bible, The Qur'an and Science

The Bible, The Qur'an and Science

In his objective study of the texts, Maurice Bucaille clears away many preconceived ideas about the Old Testament, the Gospels and the Qur'an. He tries, in this collection of Writings, to separate what belongs to Revelation from what is the product of error or human interpretation. His study sheds new light on the Holy Scriptures. At the end of a gripping account, he places the Believer before a point of cardinal importance: the continuity of a Revelation emanating from the same God, with modes of expression that differ in the course of time. It leads us to meditate upon those factors which, in our day, should spiritually unite rather than divide-Jews, Christians and Muslims.

As a surgeon, Maurice Bucaille has often been in a situation where he was able to examine not only people's bodies, but their souls. This is how he was struck by the existence of Muslim piety and by aspects of Islam which remain unknown to the vast majority of non-Muslims. In his search for explanations which are otherwise difficult to obtain, he learnt Arabic and studied the Qur'an. In it, he was surprised to find statements on natural phenomena whose meaning can only be understood through modern scientific knowledge.

He then turned to the question of the authenticity of the writings that constitute the Holy Scriptures of the monotheistic religions. Finally, in the case of the Bible, he proceeded to a confrontation between these writings and scientific data.

The results of his research into the Judeo-Christian Revelation and the Qur'an are set out in this book.

The Quran and Modern Science - Compatible or Incompatible

The Quran and Modern Science - Compatible or Incompatible

By : DR. Zakir Naik
Islamic Reseach Foundation

INTRODUCTION

Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet, Man has always sought to understand Nature, his own place in the scheme of Creation and the purpose of Life itself. In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely inspired, others have relied solely on human experience. Al-Qur’aan, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it contains guidance for all mankind. Since the message of the Qur’aan is believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every age. Does theQur’aan pass this test?

In this booklet, I intend to give an objective analysis of the Muslim belief regarding the Divine origin of the Qur’aan, in the light of established scientific discoveries. There was a time, in the history of world civilization, when ‘miracles’, or what was perceived to be a miracle, took precedence over human reason and logic. But how do we define the term ‘miracle’? A miracle is anything that takes place out of the normal course of life and for which humankind has no explanation. However, we must be careful before we accept something as a miracle.

An article in ‘The Times of India’ Mumbai, in 1993 reported that ‘a saint’ by the name ‘Baba Pilot’ claimed to have stayed continuously submerged under water in a tank for three consecutive days and nights. However, when reporters wanted to examine the base of the tank of water where he claimed to have performed this ‘miraculous’ feat, he refused to let them do so. He argued by asking as to how one could examine the womb of a mother that gives birth to a child. The ‘Baba’ was hiding something. It was a gimmick simply to gain publicity. Surely, no modern man with even the slightest inkling towards rational thinking would accept such a ‘miracle’. If such false miracles are the tests of divinity, then we would have to accept Mr.P. C. Sorcar, the world famous magician known for his ingenious magical tricks and illusions, as the best God-man. A book, claiming Divine origin, is in effect, claiming to be a miracle. Such a claim should be easily verifiable in any age, according to the standards of that age. Muslims believe, that the Qur’aan is the last and final revelation of God, the miracle of miracles revealed as a mercy to mankind.

Let us therefore investigate the veracity of this belief. I would like to thank Brother Musaddique Thange for his editorial assistance.May Allah (swt) reward him for his efforts, Aameen

Success with Mathematics

Success with Mathematics

Many students find the leap between school and university-level mathematics to be significantly greater than they expected. Success with Mathematics has been devised and written especially in order to help students bridge that gap. It offers clear, practical guidance from experienced teachers of mathematics in higher education on such key issues as:

• Getting ready
• Ways of studying
• Assessment
• Mathematical communication
• Learning by doing
• Using ICT when studying mathematics
• Using calculators
• Preparing for examinations and resources

After reading this book, students will find themselves much better prepared for the change in pace, rigour and abstraction they encounter in university mathematics. They will also find themselves able to broaden their learning strategies and improve their self-directed study skills. This book is essential reading for anyone following, or about to undertake, a degree in mathematics, or other degree courses with mathematical content.Heather Cooke is Academic Liaison Officer with the Centre for Mathematics Education at The Open University.

This book has been written by experienced Open University lecturers and tutors with a great deal of help from colleagues in other universities and from students. The tasks and advice offered here are based on considerable experience of working with adults, both young and mature, many of whom initially had limited self-study skills and low confidence in their ability to learn mathematics.

Materials for Architects and Builders

Materials for Architects and Builders

By : ARTHUR LYONS
MA(Cantab) MSc(Warwick) PhD(Leicester) DipArchCons(Leicester) Hon LRSA FHEA - Former Head of Quality, Principal Lecturer and Teacher Fellow, School of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Design, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK

Materials for Architects and Builders is written as an introductory text to inform students at undergraduate degree and national diploma level of the relevant visual and physical properties of the widest range of building materials. The fourth edition has been significantly enhanced by the addition of more colour images, illustrating the materials and, in many cases, their use in buildings of architectural merit. The text embraces the broad environmental issueswith sections on energy saving and recycled materials. An additional chapter on sustainability reflects the current debate on climate change and governmental action to reduce carbon emissions and ameliorate global warming. There are eighteen chapters covering the wide range of materials under standard headings. Each chapter describes the manufacture, salient properties and typical uses of the various materials, with the aim of ensuring their appropriate application within awareness of their ecological impact.
