The paper presents major rationales for integrating the Qur’ānic / Prophetic worldview and natural science.

The paper touches upon the worldviews that have brought about natural science to its current pedestal, the ensuing environmental and humanitarian crises of contemporary world, and experts’ responses in the face of the crises. It puts forward an integrated model for the study of natural science based on the “ūlū al-albāb” notion of the Qur’ān, for use in Islamic secondary education, where certain aspects of natural science undergo a discreet but holistic reposition, reinterpretation and reorientation from the framework of, and organically infused with the Qur’ānic / Prophetic worldview. It is believed that such integration is able to address the conflicts and disharmonies, and in the long run restore the equilibrium, not just within the Muslim person and the ummah but also to bring about sustained goodness for humanity in general and the environments they are in. 2018-04-28 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/67310/1/67310_QUR%27ANIC%20WORLDVIEW%20AND%20NATURAL-abstract.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/67310/2/67310_QUR%27ANIC%20WORLDVIEW%20AND%20NATURAL-paper.pdf Hassan, Nur Jannah (2018) Qur'anic worldview and natural science: an Ulul-albāb integration framework for Islamic secondary schools.
