The relationship between “reason and faith” or “science and religion” is articulated in Islam in a particular way by the fact that the Koran is interpreted as a revelation addressed to the intellect and by the splendour of the sciences during the golden age of this civilisation in the Middle Ages. After its collapse, with the challenge of the scientific rationalism of the 19th century and the apologetic intention of Islam, on the one hand, and of liberation against colonialism, Islamic reformism proposes a “return to reason” and science. However, a current of “scientific interpretation of the Koran” was born, which was more an Islamisation of science than a rationalisation of Islam.
La relation entre “raison et foi” ou “science et religion” est articulée dans l’islam d’une manière particulière par le fait que le Coran est interprété comme une révélation adressée à l’intellect et par la splendeur des sciences durant l’âge d’or de cette civilisation au Moyen Âge. Après son effondrement, avec le défi du rationalisme scientifique du XIXe siècle et l’intention apologétique de l’islam, d’une part, et de libération contre le colonialisme, le réformisme islamique propose un “retour à la raison” et à la science. Cependant, un courant “d’interprétation scientifique du Coran” est né, qui était plus une islamisation de la science qu’une rationalisation de l’islam.

تتميز العلاقة بين “العقل والإيمان” أو “العلم والدين” في الإسلام بطريقة خاصة من خلال تفسير القرآن كوحي موجه إلى العقل وازدهار العلوم خلال العصر الذهبي لهذه الحضارة في العصور الوسطى. بعد انهيارها، ومع تحدي العقلانية العلمية في القرن التاسع عشر والنية الدفاعية للإسلام من جهة، والتحرر من الاستعمار من جهة أخرى، اقترحت الإصلاحية الإسلامية “العودة إلى العقل” والعلم. ومع ذلك، نشأ تيار “التفسير العلمي للقرآن”، والذي كان أقرب إلى أسلمة العلم منه إلى عقلنة الإسلام.
