The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible? by Dr Zakir Naik

The Qur'an & Modern Science: Compatible or Incompatible? by Dr Zakir Naik is a concise booklet examining the Muslim belief that the Qur'an is of Divine origin, and testing that claim against established scientific discoveries. It is one of Dr Naik's best-known da'wah works, written for readers exploring the relationship between Islamic scripture and modern science.

About This Book

Dr Naik sets out an objective analysis of selected Qur'anic references connected to the natural world, then asks whether they hold up against what science has since confirmed. The booklet covers themes including creation and the origin of the universe, astronomy, embryology, biology, and geology, alongside a wider argument about how a claim of Divine origin should be testable in any age. It is written in plain, accessible language rather than academic prose, aimed at readers new to the topic as well as those already familiar with Islamic da'wah literature.
