How does the Qur’an view science?
These articles offer a comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings and values by
examining the viewpoints of science, multiple intelligences, and spiritual intelligence presented
in the Qur'an. Muslims frequently see the Qur'an as complete life guidance and supportive of
scientific research—Guessoum (p. 420) talks about how the Qur'an and scientific inquiry can
coexist. Though not a science book, the Qur'an has verses that inspire reflection, observation, and
the quest to understand the cosmos. It highlights that occurrences in the natural world are
indications of God's creation and encourages believers to learn about and comprehend them. As a
result, the Qur'an offers an open call to investigate the natural world, promoting research and
scientific advancement.
How does the Qur'an deal with Multiple intelligences?
The concept of many intelligences is clarified by Shaari et al. (p. 2816). Though it does
not mention the principle of multiple intelligences as directly as Western psychology does, the
Qur'an recognizes and appreciates different types of intelligence. Islamic culture highlights the
variety of human capacities and promotes using them to benefit society. The Qur'an
acknowledges, for example, the various human faculties—such as intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual capacities—each of which has a distinct function in helping an individual fulfill their
duty in society and serving God.

Explain spiritual intelligence from the Islamic point of view.
Shaari et al. expound on the notion of spiritual intelligence from an Islamic standpoint (p.
2818). Islam defines spiritual intelligence as having a solid relationship with God, being self-
aware, making moral decisions, and being able to understand and adhere to spiritual precepts.
The importance of one's inner self, ethical growth, and awareness of God is emphasized
throughout the Qur'an. It highlights the value of cultivating characteristics that are essential
components of spiritual intelligence, such as humility, patience, thankfulness, and compassion.
Furthermore, by purifying the heart and soul, developing a solid relationship with God, and
empowering one to make moral decisions in line with Islamic teachings, the Islamic idea of
Tazkiyah—an inner purification process—aims to develop spiritual intelligence (Aboul-Enein,
p.823).
In conclusion, the Qur'an offers a comprehensive understanding of intelligence that
considers its cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. For the sake of individual
development as well as the good of society, it promotes the quest for knowledge and the
evolution of diverse intelligences. The Qur'an integrates moral and spiritual growth into the more
significant idea of human intelligence by highlighting their significance in addition to the pursuit
of scientific knowledge. This all-encompassing perspective is consistent with the Islamic
concept, which values the holistic development of people, fostering not just cognitive but also
emotional and spiritual intelligence to help people live balanced, meaningful lives that are
consistent with Islamic teachings.
