Why does Islam contradicts Science? Which is true?
I won't worry too much if science contradict with Islam.
When my father was in grade six they were told that
"Atom is smallest unit of universe and it "Can't" be further broken down"
I hope you have heard about Atom bomb which is made by breaking atom.

^^ agree...
I dont think that Islam contradicts Science,....on the contrary...it has always and still is helping science...look at the examples:)

Agreed.
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
Atheists have somehow decided that there is no God, or even if there is One, they are not interested in Him. Obviously, they would say that Science has nothing to do with religion, because to them religious understanding is primarily wrong. However, as Muslims, we don't see any reason why there should be a difference between scientific and religious knowledge, because, as a scholar has rightly pointed out, whereas science explores the Acts of God, the Qur'an is the Word of God and there can be no conflict between God's Words and His Deeds. Moreover, whenever a Muslim scientist will discover something new, or would realise the significance of something he already knows, he would spontaneously thank God Almighty for that; a secular scientist would probably exclaim: "How fascinating" or some other similarly absurd expression. He would probably ridicule the believer scientist for acknowledging God even in his scientific research. Since freedom is an essential element of the trial of this life, secular scientists, it seems, are going to exist side by side with believing ones. Not before the final day shall we be able to witness the secular absurdity assigned to the ignominy of extinction.

SCIENCE IS ELIMINATING MODELS OF GOD BUT NOT GOD
Francis Bacon, the famous philosopher, has rightly said that a little knowledge of science makes man an atheist, but an in-depth study of science makes him a believer in God. Scientists today are eliminating models of God, but they are not eliminating God. If you translate this into Arabic, it is La illaha illal la, There is no god, (god with a small ‘g’ that is fake god) but God (with a capital ‘G’).
Surah Fussilat:
"Soon We will show them our signs in the (farthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?"
[Al-Quran 41:53]
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
If Islam disagrees with a scientific theory, then I would too. So I would trust what Islam says over any scientific theory.
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
For example, in Quran it says that "you do ifthar and niath-i-roza when white thread can be separated from dark thread". But there are places on planet where sun never sits and any person living in those places would have to fast forever. Does this mean prophet had no knowledge of earth's geography when he said the above words and had only the example of Arabia in mind?
Moreover, in science, unlike religion, there is no definiteness/absolutism. One thing may be right in one situation or frame of reference but wrong in another. For example, Quantum Mechanics doesn't invalidate Netonian Physics; it simply says that when objects become too small, their behavior cannot be explained by Newtonian physics. So, for common objects Newtonian Physics hold true. And for microscopic objects like atoms, electrons, etc. Quantum Mechanics is true. For cosmic objects(Very large objects), Einstine Physics is true. Each is true in its own frame of reference.
Every scientific postulate is a refinement over the previous one. Discovery of atom in itself is a great thing that only Science could accomplish.

LOD I hope you are not dishonest person. And your only concern here is not to win this arument --but to learn.
1-Even in those area people define day and night some how.
2-Islam is NOT arab culture- In fact it is 180 degree trun from ARAB culture(prior to phophet).
some examples
a) arab use to kill their new born daughter(like india)
b)drinking-gambling name eny evil they had it
c) idol worshipping
(there are half a million other details my guess is you know most of it)
So Islam stoped those things
HENCE arab adopted ISLAMIC culture
SO
SO
when we follow islamic culture we don't follow arab culture.
ARABS were stoped from following their ruthless-illitrate culturre by prophet.
SO were we(indians- who converted to islam )

Peace LastOfTheDinosaurs
It just so turns out that there is a hadith that people use to draw ijtihad from in order to determine the prayer and fast times for places like you mention.
Part of a very long hadith narrated by An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an:
We said: Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him), how long will he stay on Earth? He said: For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days. We said: Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) will one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer).
So this oddity is not made mention in the Qur'an explicitly. The question is why should it have to be?
Islam actually tells science what science should say. I have to go ... More clarification can be given if required ....
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
Why does quran says that only God can know the sex of baby? or is this a misinterruption?
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
^i dont think so, only God knows, ultrasounds can be erroneous.
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
Why does quran says that only God can know the sex of baby? or is this a misinterruption?
It means ..When it is concieved...not like 5 months later...
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
last of dinosaurs,
Islam never contradicts science. If anything, as a faith, Islam promotes science.
This is a misconception which you presented here.

Why does Islam contradicts Science? Which is true?
Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?
I don't understant one thing, Psyah! Why should Quran or Hadiths, as the one you narrated, talk ambiguously to leave the need for ijtihad if the aim is the clear guidence of the people?
Secondly, Hadith is not the original source of theological inference or guidence. Quran has unequovcally mentioned iftar.
Thirdly, it is the same attitude as of clergy during Reniasance in Europe when they first resisted science, but when science became the predominent way of inquiry, they started claiming that what science says is already there in the Bible.
If what science has discovered or will discover is already there in Quran, then any Mullah Tullah should tell me from Quran right now what science has to discover in future.
In fact, religion doesn't answer the fundamental question..rather it reduces it to a yet a higher level of abstraction i.e. "God", "Allah", or "Khuda", etc.

1-Bible was word of God at some point.
God do have all the knowledge -- one which we can perceive --the one we can't.
2- what moronic Christian did or what silly Muslims do is not God fault.
Book is there If you seek knowledge. It has nothing to do what our "imam masjid" say or does.

and What question is that??
There is million ton weight but can it all put on me?? NO!
Allah say's "kun"(be) "fa ya kun" And it happens.
No machinery involved--no men power-- no cranes and bulldozers.
Well suppose Allah have answer for that how does he do that majic.
Please tell me what physicist is capable to understand Allah's equation in which no force/force creating machines/fuel or muscles involved.
Which equation in the math can handle those kinds of parameters.
As i said there is millions of ton of weight but can we hold it??
