The Islamic Philosophy of Science shatters the illusion that science and religion exist separately.
It helps me think through conflicting scientific opinions on social media, and how to understand natural phenomena scientifically and spiritually.
For University Students
At the university, I teach FSA3000 Philosophy of Science. See video invitation to FSA3000 on why you should consider this course.
Lessons for FSA3000 Students
I will share more lessons here over time.
For the Public
I study with scholars who serve at world-class Islamic organisations such as the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation (ISTAC) and Kalām Research & Media (KRM).
I have been invited to speak to the public on topics such as:
1. Introduction to Islamic Philosophy of Science
Here I introduced the Islamic Philosophy of Science to science students and had conversation with one of my teachers, Emeritus Prof. Datuk Dr Osman Bakar.
2. Islam and Biomedicine
I was invited by ISTAC to review ‘Islam and Biomedicine’, an editorial by Oxford Islamic scholar, Shaykh Dr Afifi al-Akiti and renowned physician Dr Aasim I. Padela:
Hanish, I. (2023). Book Review: ISLAM AND BIOMEDICINE by Afifi al-Akiti & Aasim I. Padela (Editors). Al-Shajarah: Journal of the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC), 28(1), 201-207.(Full article)
3. Science and Kalām
Current scientific thoughts have foundations in Kalām. Muslim scientists benefit from Christian intellectuals such as the Cartesians. The river also flows the other directions.
Here, I was invited to speak on Ash’arites, Cartesians and Occasionalism with one of my teachers, Dr Amran Muhammad.
