Description from the publisher:

This book is a compilation of selected papers presented at the Workshop on Islamization of Attitude and Practice in Science and Technology. (1408-1987). Sponsored by the Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers (AMSE) and the international Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), this pioneering workshop emphasized the Islamization of Attitudes and practices in the natural sciences.

Until recently studies on “Islamization” have concentrated primarily on the social sciences and humanities. This book focused on the problems and challenges of attitudes and practices in science and technology with respect to ideology, personality, education and environment of the Muslim scientists in the contemporary world.

This work includes M.A.K. Lodhi's “The Making of a Scientist: The Islamizing of a Muslim Scientist”; Syed M. Amir's “Science Research in Muslim countries”; S. H. Durrani's “incorporation of Islamic Values in the Administration of a Science Research Institute”; and M. Mazhar's “Attitudes and Practices in Food Nutritional Science.”

In all, thirteen prominent scholars share their valuable insight on their respective disciplines in this book. We hope that both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars will find their work to be a valuable source of critical observations and profound germinal concepts for future development.
