Values and Ethical Issues in Science and Technology: A Muslim Perspective
... Many Islamic scholars fear that such technology and knowledge BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND FINANCE ICBEF 2019 could be exploited for human organ business purposes ("Stem cell research", 2007). Fourth Industrial Revolution has offered us tools to create or redesign (Golshani, 2003) ourselves or manufacture humanoid robots. This appears an interference with ability of God as a creator. ...
... Fourth Industrial Revolution promises to bring improvement for mankind but with this it will bring tools of manipulation and dominance over the weak ones (Golshani, 2003). Massive technological changes will certainly challenge prevailing mode of economic and political governance of Muslim governments in various parts of Muslim lands and will create social and political tensions with transformations of religious, ethical and moral values among Muslim societies. ...
... Fourth Industrial Revolution will promote culture and values of materialism and secularism in Muslim societies and it may also lead to weakening of the religious authorities, moral and ethical ideals of Muslim societies (Golshani, 2003). It has brought a sick culture of "celebrity" status through wide use of social media across globe which is causing degeneration of Muslim youth (Gqibithole, 2019). ...

Emergence of Fourth Industrial Revolution recently symbolizes technological advancement resulting from fusion of physical, digital and biological spheres. At present, as per opinions of various scholars, writers and world leaders, this globalization of Fourth Industrial Revolution appears destined to bring many challenges, transformations and instabilities for almost all world civilizations including Islamic civilization in its cultural, religious and political aspects of life, if followed blindly, by Islamic countries with developing economies.

This paper is a philosophical reflection on how the development of science and technology can be studied better through the tradition of Islamic philosophy. This is attempted because the approach that has been used to study science and technology in the Islamic world is still centered on the process of assimilation or Islamization of Knowledge. In a critical reading of the two approaches, the problems that arise from the study of contemporary science and technology become something that is difficult to anticipate. In fact, the development of science and technology is also moving very fast. This raises the question of the need for alternative approaches in the study of contemporary science and technology in the arena of Islamic Philosophy. To solve this problem, the author conducted an initial experiment that could elaborate Irfani's approach on the one hand with studies of contemporary science and technology on the other. This becomes possible with the reinterpretation of the concept of emanation that exists in the discourse of Yazdiyah's Hudhuri Science. Based on this interpretation as well as the perspective that Mishbah Yazdi has made about the help of Irfan in philosophy, the application of the Irfani approach in the study of science and technology becomes possible as part of the practice of Hudhuri Science. On a more practical level, the author also uses this Irfani approach in a scenario format to read the vision of contemporary science and technology in the NBIC discourse.
... However, the development of modern science and technology led to the separation of facts from values and this has resulted in destructive consequences for humanity that have arisen from some scientific discoveries (Golshani, 2003). Production of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons can be cited as examples, as well as the side effects of preservatives, chemicals and pollutants in our food and environment. ...
... Production of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons can be cited as examples, as well as the side effects of preservatives, chemicals and pollutants in our food and environment. Furthermore scientific progress has raised serious ethical issues in terms of human or animal subjects and public safety (Golshani, 2003). Consequently, in the Islamic world and in the West, Muslim scholars need to tackle these issues using all the tools available including religious knowledge. ...
This paper discusses the baics tenets of Islam and the Islamic view of nature that were influential in the development of science in the so-called 'Golden Age of Islam'. These findings have been the catalyst for present day Muslim scholars, who have emphasized the importance of Islamic science, as the means of understanding Western science. There is also a strong body of opinion within researchers of Islamic science that the abandonment of Islamic values and the rapid adoption of Western science and technologies have led to conflict in social, educational and scientific fields in Islamic countries. The article examines how these two views can be reconciled in order to build bridges between modern science and Islamic science.
In principle, Maqasid al-Shari'ah (the objectives of Islamic law) appears and evolves hand in hand with the revelation of al-Qur'an and al-Sunnah. Setting a value system, al-Qur'an and al
