The following three articles speak to a very exciting time in scientific discovery now and in the near future. Their significance goes to the very heart of the title of my blogsite, The Link Between Science and Religion in Islam. More significanly, the two utterances that make up my signature post reveal unequivocally how the material universe forms one critical component of the structure of truth, the ultimate nature of which it is the goal of religion to reach:
"The God of the Quran is the One whose Ayats(Signs) are the Universe in which we live, move and have our being"(Mowlana Sultan Mohammed Shah, Aga Khan 3, April 4th 1952, 'What have we forgotten in Islam?').
"Of the Abrahamic faiths, Islam is probably the one that places the greatest emphasis on knowledge. The purpose is to understand God's creation, and therefore it is a faith which is eminently logical. Islam is a faith of reason."(Mowlana Hazar Imam, Shah Karim Al-Husayni, Aga Khan 4, October 9th 2006, Interview with 'Spiegel' newspaper)
