| Center for Islam and Science (CIS) is dedicated to the promotion of
research and diffusion of knowledge on all aspects of Islam and science. CIS
encourages a creative exploration of the Islamic worldview of science,
fusion of contemporary scholarship with the traditional sources of Islamic
thought and a renewed 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 entities
that need to be somehow related through an external process; rather, the
Center recognizes an underlying unity in all domains of knowledge. This is
based on the Qur'anic concept of Tawhid, Unicity of God, the most
fundamental principle of Islamic epistemology.
