Islam and Modern Science - A Lecture
Many people feel that that in fact there is no such thing as the Islamic problem of science. They say science is science, whatever it happens to be, and Islam has always encouraged knowledge, al-ilm in Arabic, and therefore we should encourage science and what's the problem? -there's no problem.

In The Beginning Is Consciousness - from a talk at the Harvard Divinity School, 2003
There are those people who believe that philosophy should only deal with what is operationally definable, that is (like) making philosophy a handmaid of physics and engineering. Of course there is a certain concept with which they don't want to deal, namely the word ’Veritas’, (Truth)…
The Islamic Conception Of Man
The Islamic Conception of Man envisages that man is a being who lives on earth and has earthy needs; but he is not earthy and his needs are not limited to the terrestrial. He rules over the earth, but not in his own right; rather he is God's vicegerent before all creatures. He therefore also bears responsibility for the created order before God and is the channel of grace for God's creatures.
