ARAU: Every single piece of information revealed in the Holy Quran does not conflict with modern science, although not each and every one of them have been proven through scientific studies.
These were among the matters stressed by renowned Islamic preacher, Dr Zakir Naik, during a lecture at the University Malaysia Perlis (Unimap) main campus in Pauh here today.
Dr Zakir, in his argument, cited examples of several revelations in modern science together with verses of the Quran where the information was mentioned.
The two-hour lecture, titled “Quran and Modern Science: Conflict or Conciliation, ” was attended by about 1,000 people from various backgrounds, including several non-Muslims.
The hall, which could accommodate up to 600 people, was fully packed with some members of the audience having to sit on the floor and stairs.
Among the guests present were the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail; Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizzuddin Putra Jamalullail who is also UniMap Chancellor, and Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, who is also the UniMap Pro-Chancellor, and state Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin.
