English: This audio sample features Ismail Raji al-Faruqi, a prominent Palestinian-American philosopher and Islamic scholar, discussing the theological significance of nature within Islamic thought. Al-Faruqi explains how the natural world reflects God's divine patterns (sunan), asserting that studying nature is a form of worship and a means to glorify God. This perspective aligns with his broader views on integrating science, philosophy, and Islamic values, which he championed through his concept of the "Islamization of knowledge." The excerpt encapsulates al-Faruqi's commitment to understanding creation as a path to spiritual insight and intellectual growth.
