ISLAM: Scientific discoveries, spiritual food

Mentioning the “Words of God” (31:27) the Quran tells us that these words of God are so numerous that their enumeration would never cease. What are these words of God? There is nothing mysterious about them. Rather, these refer to the mysteries of the universe. Modern science, in its reality, is another name for discovering these words of God.
The history of modern science is spread over 500 years. During this period, scientists have discovered many things in accordance with natural or physical laws. With the invention of the telescope and the microscope, the scope of discoveries has broadened greatly. The truth is that modern science in its nature, is the science of maarifah (God-realization). It has opened a great treasure of God-realization for the believers.
Here by science we mean popular science, and not technical science. On this subject, simple and easily understandable books are available in every language. The truth is that the greatest source of achieving maarifah is contemplation on the creation of God. Supporting data is always required for contemplation. Before the developments of science, very limited data were available on this subject. Now science has provided a huge library of unlimited data for the seekers of maarifah. Now, it has become possible for such seekers to pursue their journey endlessly. At every moment they may receive the spiritual food of maarifah. The process of spiritual development can go on within them continuously and never stop even for a single moment until the day they die.
