In a tense time where science and religion are seen as two mutually exclusive topics, this revolutionary new book by Dr. Muneer Al-Ali aims to change the entire atmosphere around the ideas. Being a scientific Tafsir (commentary) of Qur'an accompanied with a priceless scientific discussion of faith, this book successfully spiritualizes science without attempting to enable victory of faith on naturalism. Using modern science to demonstrate the tangibility of faith, this invaluable spiritual tool finally bridges the gap between the soul nurturing positivity of religion and the all-encompassing complexity of science. A Scientific Tafsir of Qur'anic Verses: Interplay of Faith and Science is an eye-opening book that sheds light on the science and philosophy of the religion of Islam and to that matter, faith in God generally. Delving into the interplay between science and religion, Al-Ali touches on the creation of the universe, creationism and evolution, judgment day, the process of faith in God, and scientifically proving the historic events that were mentioned in the divine books. Specifically focusing on the teachings of the Qur'an, this book balances the issues of science and faith in a way that doesn't detract from either aspect. By emphasizing the ability to be a pious person while also pursuing scientific endeavors, this guide sheds light on the mutually inclusive nature of the two topics.
