September 2018- Islam and Science: Rescuing Humanity

Islam, this is a word that has been always considered as a powerful term for bringing peace and light to a world full of wars and darkness.

Islam has also highlighted the importance of science and knowledge, not only as a means for prosperity and success but also as a path towards self-enlightenment and self-growth.

The Quranic verses along with the Prophetic Sayings (Hadith\hadiz) have repeatedly reiterated the fact that every Muslim should seek knowledge, enrich his mentality, and empower his mind.

- Allah Says:” Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.” [Sahih International Translation, 2:164].

- Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim." - [Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74].

- Also in a Hasan (fine) hadith, Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “The wise saying is the lost property of the believer, so wherever he finds it then he has a right to it.”- [Sunan At-Tirmidhi, 2687].

- In Sahih Muslim, Book 42, Hadith 7058, the Prophet said: “Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make his path to paradise easy.”.

All praises are due to Allah, the Islamic Center in Quito, Ecuador – Mezquita Assalam has held an event expounding on the new achievements and progress in the making of the robotic hand\advanced prosthetic limp that is capable of holding, sensing and controlling things.

Dr. Juan Suquillo, the director of the Islamic Center in Ecuador- Mezquita Assalam, stated that Islam and Science were and are always working together, hand in hand.

“We do not consider science as a field opposing religion, but rather a way that shows us the greatness of Allah and the complexity of his creation”, Suquillo added.

Finally, we believe that it’s of great importance to have such a crucial event in the program of the Islamic Center for September 2018.
You are all cordially invited.
