The Inimitable and Physical Sciences

The Inimitable and Physical Sciences by Syed Iqbal Zaheer is an English Islamic book published by Darussalam Publishers that explores the relationship between Islamic revelation (Qur’an) and discoveries in physical sciences. Rather than a standard science textbook, the book invites readers to reflect on scientific phenomena through the lens of Qur’anic verses, challenging materialistic worldviews, encouraging critical thought, and providing tools for debating atheistic claims about human distinctiveness and origins. It connects cosmology, earth sciences, physics concepts, and modern scientific theories with scriptural insight, presenting both scientific ideas and spiritual perspective for readers interested in the intersection of faith and reason. 

268 pages. 17 × 24 cm. English language. Four-colour print with diagrams and illustrations to support comprehension of science topics.

• Qur’anic reflection on science: Discusses scientific concepts such as the spherical shape of the earth, earth’s geology, the Big Bang theory, structure of the universe, and relativity of time alongside relevant Qur’anic verses to show how revelation invites contemplation of the natural world.

• Human distinctiveness and reflection: Confronts readers with questions about what makes humans distinct from other creatures and encourages intellectual engagement with both science and faith rather than blind acceptance of materialistic assumptions.

• Perspective for debate and faith: Useful for comparative studies and discussions with skeptics, offering scientific insights supported by scripture so believers can articulate a worldview that integrates faith and empirical observation. 

Best English book for readers who want to explore the interplay of Islamic revelation and physical sciences with reflection and critical thinking. Perfect for students, mosque libraries, dawah conversations, and anyone seeking authentic insight into science from a Qur’anic perspective.
