About This Quote
The unity of scientific and spiritual knowledge is realized when each of the particular sciences is organically related to the supreme knowledge of al-tawhid. The Islamic concept of tawhid has a different meaning from the Western idea of a supreme being. For a Muslim, a supreme being is not a being that is separate from creation, but rather an all-encompassing reality that encompasses nature and takes into account all parts of nature. When you look at the universe around you, you should see this divine presence everywhere because it is there.
Our ability to perceive this divine presence comes from our ability to recognize Allah in everything around us. The ultimate goal of al-tawhid is to recognize Allah’s divine presence in all things and come to know Allah through this recognition.
