| Summary: | This paper highlighted the prominence of Muhammad ‘Abduh in science and technology
and his contributions in developing scientific methodologies and principles. It discovered
his ideas on science, technology, reason, revelation and rationality. It is important to
note that Abduhu’s intention was to espouse universal framework of Islamic science. His
scientific ideas were clearly presented in his works such as TafsirJuz ‘Amma,
(Commentaries of Juz ‘Ammah) Tafsir al-Manar (Al-Manar Commentaries) and his
masterpieces Al-Islam wa al-Nasraniyahma‘a al-Ilmwa al-Madaniyyah (Islam and
Christianity in Relation to Science and Civilization) and Risalat al-Tawhid (The
Theology of Unity). This worldview was projected fundamentally and centered on his
effort to harmonize reason and revelation and finding new ground for Islamic science to
be revived and revitalized. Many argue that his contributions to Islamic science were
monumental in recognizing the dynamic interaction of revelation and reason and
bringing progressive and rational understanding of the scripture which successfully
accommodated the power of intellect and reason in modern times |
