THE MANIFESTATION OF RELIGION

~ 82 ~ pertaining to the fate of mankind. (Fathul Bari, 2/611) In this connection, an incident of the pollination of dates is recorded in the books of Hadith how the Prophet of Islam observed that in worldly matters (such as the pollination of date palms) “you should act according to your experience, as you know these matters better.” (Sahih Muslim bi Sharh An-Nawawi, 15/117) This meant delinking religion and science from one another. In this way scientific research acquired an atmosphere of freedom for its functioning. For the first time in human history, science (human knowledge) could be developed freely without the intervention of religion. And advancing gradually, it culminated in the attainments of the modern age. But today, man is again facing an even greater problem. That is, despite the extraordinary progress made in the field of science and technology, human beings are confronted with various kinds of problems, without there being any solution in sight. All these problems have resulted from not knowing the limit of freedom.
