Islam Encourages Science

Islam is the religion of reason and conscience. For understanding this fact we can search the sources of Islam, I mean Holy Quran and what the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, said.
The Prophet of Islam enjoined people to acquire knowledge. He even stressed that it is our obligation to search for knowledge like these sentences:
Seeking of knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim.
Acquire the knowledge and impart it to the people.
In the Quran, God calls on people to reflect upon and examine the signs of creation around them, like these following verses:
"Do they not look at the sky above them? How we have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it? And the earth to be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning, and We send down from the sky rain charged with blessing, and We produce therewith gardens and grain for harvest; And tall palm trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another" (Chapter Qaf: 6-10)

"He who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion will you see in the creation of most gracious. So turn your vision again: do you see any flaw?" (Chapter al-Mulk: 3)

"Now let man but think from what he is created!" (Chapter at-Tariq: 5)

"Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? And at the Sky, how it is raised high? And at the mountains, how they are fixed firm? And at the Earth, how it is spread out." (Chapter al-Ghashiyah: 17-20)

As the above verses make clear, God summons mankind to study and examine various aspects of the world, such as the heavens, rain, plants, animals, birth and geographical landmarks. The way to explore these is through science.
