Islamic Civilization
“Read! In the name of your Lord who created…” — Qur’an 96:1
Islam was not just a civilization in the historical sense, but a divine epistemology that refuted randomness (atheism), corrected misguidance (Christian dogma), and established causality as the foundation of the natural and rational sciences.
