Thesis: In his book, No god but God, Reza Aslan recounts the history and teachings of Islam in order to deconstruct the barriers within interreligious comprehension.

There are many authentic writers and scholars that have worked on different psychological approaches in order to evaluate their relationship with the working and responses of human being. In addition, these approaches are formed by means of different experiments and scientific studies that further help scholars to categories different human

Individuals rely on the human experience to define not only their self-concept but their conviction. According to the theory of mind, humans can only intuit the existence of their

His patience and endurance in terms of fasting were at an amazing level. Not only he preached the teachings of Islam through his poetry but also spent his life as a role model for all Muslims. His life depicted unshakable faith in God. Furthermore, Can mentions that Rumi performed his prayers with an open heart forgetting about himself and escaping his imaginary existence. Sipehsalar notes that “If I were to describe one tenth of Rumi’s ecstasy, love and divine attraction, it wouldn’t fit in this book”.

After Paul Churchland’s thorough reviews on several different theories on the nature of the mind, and after consideration of their pros and cons, he advocates Eliminative Materialism.

The intellectual achievements and discoveries that Muslim scientists, physicians and mathematicians made were revolutionary. Their discoveries were a result of their religion and the Islamic Empire they lived in, and prove that Islam is the most

The mind-body is made up of physical and mental properties. The physical properties “have a certain weight, shape, etc., and are publicly accessible” (Osmundsen, 2016), whereas, with the mental properties “there is a raw qualitative feel to have a mental state” (Osmundsen, 2016). These two properties cause many problems within human life, however there are five major problems arising about the mind and body. The majority of people do not put enough thought into these problems, but they are very important to understand. This paper will include those five different complications with the mind and body, give an argument for dualism, give a response for the argument, and include an opinion for the argument that is stronger and why it is stronger.

The example mentioned above concerning the cosmos and its origin is one that brings in the conversation of religion, and understanding what the balance between science and religion is in the Islamic

Islam was and is extremely encouraging of pursuing knowledge and learning. The medieval period was being undeniably free-thinking and the knowledge gained comes from a diverse blend of many different fields of knowledge (Habib, 2008: 55-56). Scholars have many different theories on what caused this rise in scientific activity and learning in Islam. Gutas puts forward two possible causes of the Islamic scientific flourishing in his monograph “Greek Thought, Arabic Culture.” One idea he proposes is that Christian scholars who were fluent in both Greek and Arabic decided to translate texts out of enthusiasm for the betterment of society (Gutas, 1998: 3). Gutas also puts forward the more popular theory that the rampant translation movement and scientific learning ought to be attributed to the rulers of Islamic society at the time. These rulers and caliphs were enlightened and enthusiastic of learning for the sake of learning (Gutas, 1998: 3-4). The encyclopedia entry in “The Muslim Almanac: A Reference Work on the History, Faith, Culture, and Peoples of Islam” credits Islam’s rise in scientific activity primarily to the construction of centres of higher learning, academies, and institutions, such as the House of Wisdom (“The Sciences,” 1996: 409). In “Modern Science and Islamic Essentialism,” Habib emphasizes that internationality and diversity are unique and distinct characteristics of Islamic science. He claims the reason behind the success of Islamic science is primarily the diversity and plenitude of the sources translated, rather than the cooperation of all Islamic citizens in translating as other scholars defend (Habib, 2008: 55-56). Habib conveys that science and learning will thrive in an environment which supports its study; he expresses that the Islamic prophet and the Qur’an encouraged followers to search for knowledge by whatever means necessary. Habib claims “A

The Islamic vision of reality and truth, which is a metaphysical survey of the visible as well as the invisible world including the perspective of life as a whole, is not formed by gathering of other cultures. Moreover,

Throughout civilization, religions have come a long way in impacting modern society and civilization. One of the major Abrahamic religions, Islam, has made many advances and has contributed a variety of concepts, ideas and inventions to western civilization. Most of these contributions have gone unnoticed throughout the years, and have been credited by various people, when in reality Muslim scholars have formulated these concepts. Although some may believe that these contributions are irrelevant, the reality is that most of the everyday concepts humans use all around the world, have been derived from a primarily Islamic school of thought.

The book that we have chosen to review is titled “Lost History, the Enduring Legacy of Muslim Scientists, Thinkers and Artists”. The author of the book is Michael Hamilton Morgan. The book was published in the year 2007 and also holds the same copyright date. The book is a non-fiction. The main subject matter of the book is the history of the Islamic civilization from the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

In a person’s usual handling of affairs, it happens that after having an experience, one usually falls back in his alone time to assess the details of that happening, thinking and meditating upon it to develop a critique of it. The mind offers ground for such an experience. It is also imperative to mention that the mind creates the comprehension of oneself. Dialogical Self Theory, therefore, propounds that a person’s mind creates a conversation within the self, aiming at finding purpose and meaning to things that occur within its surrounding to achieve the design of identification (Hermans 147-160).

Avicenna now having this knowledge further moves on to understanding the subject matter of metaphysics. He theorizes a three-part division of the sciences into the following; the natural, the mathematical, and the divine.
