The Center for Islam and Science (CIS) is dedicated to the promotion of research and diffusion of knowledge on all aspects of Islam. CIS encourages a creative exploration of Islamic Weltanschauung in relation to the natural and human sciences, critical integration of contemporary scholarship into the framework of traditional Islamic thought and learning, and a renewed and rigorous link with the intellectual tradition of Islam. CIS supports activities aimed at enhancing our religious and scientific understanding of nature and the human condition.
The Center does not construe "Islam" and "science" as two separate domains that need to be somehow connected through an external process. Rather, CIS recognizes an underlying unity of all branches of knowledge stemming from and anchored in Tawhid, the Unicity of God, which is the most fundamental principle of Islamic ontology and epistemology. Seen from this perspective the whole of reality, from the lowest to the highest levels, is an integrated system. CIS, therefore, recognizes, honors, and builds its foundations on this underlying unifying principle which places the entire manifest cosmos in a hierarchical structure of existence, in which the physical world (the subject matter of the natural sciences) is but one aspect of an integrated system.
In order to further promote and articulate the vision outlined above, CIS has been publishing a semi-annual journal, Islam & Science, since 2003. The Center is also active, on a more or less regular basis, in organizing and/or sponsoring conferences, workshops, and symposia, with the involved participation of prominent scholars and intellectuals, Muslim and non-Muslim, on various aspects of Islamic science and philosophy in their relation with modern natural/physical? sciences., There are plans to conduct formal certificate and diploma level courses, to promote public educational awareness of, and appreciation for, the rich heritage of the Islamic intellectual sciences and their relevance for the revival of true science and wisdom in the modern world. CIS operates under an international advisory board and a local executive committee. It is a not-for-profit organization registered in the province of Alberta, Canada, and a registered charity with revenue Canada (Charity no. 86447 2899 RR0001).
