Islam & science are the complement to each other


Islam & science




The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of 'smoke' (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that 'smoke'. The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that 'smoke' material. God said in the Quran .


There isn't any single way to characterize how Muslims are portrayed in Science Fiction. There are many cases where Muslims are cast in somewhat negative light in SF stories which are set in the near future. On the other hand stories set in the distant future have rather positive portrayal of Muslims. On this website I have tried to collect information about the depiction of Islam and Islamic themes in Science Fiction literature and science fiction written by Muslims. It should be noted that most of the information on this website is in regards to English literature and most certain there is a lot of material in other languages as well but because of the linguistic barrier I do not have access to that literature. Thus if someone could point me to that particular literature then I would be more than happy to add it to the website with due credit to the person.

Qur'an and Science


Is a topic becoming ever more important as Muslims try to not only present the Qur'an as not conflicting with modern science, but make the much stronger claim that the Qur'an is predicting modern scientific discoveries. This is used by many Muslims as a major proof for the divine origin of the Qur'an.
The next step is to call on all who hear it to become Muslims on this basis.
Since we do not believe the Qur'an to be from God, we are called upon to answer these claims and will soon present a very thorough investigation into the various details of this topic.

Health



Exercise is imperactive for the preservation of good health
Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons. These include: strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, and weight loss or maintenance in the overweight. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases of affluence such as heart disease,

Why is exercise or physical activity important?

Regular aerobic physical activity increases your fitness level and capacity for exercise. It also plays a role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke and is linked to cardiovascular mortality.
Regular physical activity can help control blood lipid abnormalities, diabetes and obesity. Aerobic physical activity can also help reduce blood pressure.
The results of pooled studies show that people who modify their behavior and start regular physical activity after heart attack have better rates of survival and better quality of life. Healthy people — as well as many patients with cardiovascular disease — can improve their fitness and exercise performance with training.



Physical Exercise Helps the Brain?


Bad news couch potatoes, being physically inactive can make you less of a genius than people who regularly flex their muscles and lift weights. Always sitting idly even with a book or a crossword puzzle will not make you smarter than people who jog, swim and go to the gym. This is because physical exercise makes a person more mentally fit than those who do not exercise at all. Many recent studies conclude that the brain can benefit from physical exercise affirming claims of exercise buffs that exercising makes them more mentally alert and improves their memory. A set of regular workout routines is essential.

There are four types of colored contact lenses: visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque color tints and light-filtering tints. Many of these colored contact lenses are available in plano form (without visual correction), as well as in designs for people who have astigmatism, who need bifocal correction, or who want a disposable or frequent replacement lens.
