This book shows that it was Islam that gave birth to modern science, inaugurated a scientific era in world history, and made the early Muslims precursors of modern scientists.
The philosophical, cultural, political, economic and social impact of the domination of the modern West continues in one way or another through the width and breadth of the Muslim world, threatening not only the traditional institutions of Islamic society, but Islamic religion itself. Many are alienated from Islam as a result of the crushing influence of alien ideologies, whilst others react mostly with emotional outbursts and occasional violence. This book, written by one of contemporary Islamic scholarship's best minds, addresses primarily the Muslim youths in a language which is fairly simple rather than being excessively scholarly, to be able to respond to the challenges posed by the modern world and its current ideologies.

The first work of its kind in English. An indepth study of the classification of knowledge in Islam according to Al-Farabi, Al-Ghazzali, and Al-Shirazi.
The author explores various dimensions of Islam and studies some of the more hidden aspects of the encounter between Islam, Muslims and modern Western civilization. These encounters are viewed from the perspective of sacred history, viewing events as a continuum of Adamic story. Seen through this prism, the contemporary global conflicts gain a degree of depth that is often lacking in secular approaches. The prism through which contemporary events are seen is constructed by tapping into the primary sources of Islam - the Qur'an and Sunnah - as well as the early history of Muslims and the traditional Islamic view of the cosmos and the human condition. This book builds a compelling case for seeing the contemporary situation as a continuity of an old conflict between those who believe in the Creator and those who do not.
In this book the logical framework of various versions of the cosmological argument for the existqance of God along with their characteristic concomitant critiques is analyzed.

This book discusses these questions with facts and affirms that Europe owes its science to Islam.

"This book approaches the question of technology from an Islamic ethical perspective. The book tries to broaden the scope of the Sharia to deal comprehensively with the ethical questions and dilemmas that arise in the midst of a postmodern technological culture due to the absence of well-defined religious-ethical ends. It looks at the maqasid as a universal ethical theory to be interpreted and applied in the global technological context. It weaves the contemporary philosophical analysis of technology within the maqasid discourse and assesses modern technology through the lens of the ultimate aims and purposes of the Sharia. It works out the relationship between the various objectives and how they can be developed into an Islamic ethics of technology. Following in the recent interest in the objectives of the Sharia, the book further expands the scope of the maqasid and carries it further to encompass metaphysical and ethical debates surrounding technology. Anyone interested in finding alternatives to the existing technological model will find this book valuable. Specifically those interested in Islam and Modern World and how ijtihad is being undertaken to tackle contemporary ethical problems will find this book helpful."
