These fall into four categories: 1) matters related to the reality, horizons, and aims of science or, to put it more precisely, the “philosophy of science and theory of knowledge,” 2) the methodology of discovering scientific facts, 3) the laws that apply in the various fields of science—particularly natural sciences—called the pure sciences, and 4) those laws discovered through experimental methodology and meant to be applied by a person in his/her capacity as vicegerent of Allah (SWT) on earth, who has been entrusted with the task of creating a higher and better life and a finer world.
Philosophy analyzes the aims of science while methodology provides a modus operandi for discovering facts; that is, it explains the laws and systems which control the cosmos, the world and life, and which protect their movements in time.
Moreover, humanity is an “involved party” in the law-creating and Qur’an~revealing process; that is, individuals are Allah’s vicegerents on earth, the possessors of the hands endeavoring to build civilization for the sake of Allah (SWT).
The Philosophy and Aims of Science, and Basic Islamic Principles The philosophy of science is concerned with examining and analyzing the objectives science strives to achieve and their relationship, firstly, with humanity’s civilizational activities and, secondly, with its vision of the cosmos, life, and the world in which it lives.
Allah (SWT) has laid down their dimensions, laws, systems, and capacities in a manner befitting the basic function of the descendants of Adam as vicegerents on earth and in accordance with their ability to interact positively and effectively with nature.
