10th Anniversary Illustrated and Colour Coded 2025 Collector's Ed. A Decade of Illumination - A Millennium of Legacy: Marking ten years since its first release, the Collector's Ed. of this encyclopedia emerges anew-vastly expanded, meticulously refined, pragmatically applicable and spiritually invigorated. In a time riddled with misconceptions, this seminal work rises like a Golden Eagle-dispelling the shadows of distortion, appropriation, and misrepresentation that have long obscured Islam's true legacy in the annals of science and civilization.
Revelation Infuses Reason - The Fusion of Human Passion and Creativity with Qur'anic Epistomology and Empiricism: This magnum opus spans over three decades of profound inquiry. It is not merely an encyclopedia-it is an intellectual
ascension through the sacred corridors of knowledge that once illuminated the world from Khawarism to Baghdad and Córdoba. Anchored in the spirit of
Ulum al-'Itibar (Empirical Sciences), this encyclopedia resurrects the forgotten fountains of sustainable innovation, ethical inquiry, and cosmological wonder forged by the Qur'an. References are taken from the tresures of Islamic Scientific Manuscripts preserved in the works of
Father of Scientific History, George Sarton and woven with the linguistic gold threads from
Edward Lane's seminal work, the Arabic-English Lexicon, giving etymological and linguistic root meaning of the original Qur'an in Arabic. Revised, Resuscitated and Reawakened: Led by visionary researcher and scientist Gabriel Iqbal, this work is a bold
Ijtihad (Critical Thinking) in contemporary knowledge: a wholistic exploration that redefines scientific progress not merely as a pursuit of power, but as a path to
Taqwa (In Awe of the Creator), harmony, and planetary stewardship. Through a systematic investigation of historical paradigms-from
Alhazen's (Father of Scientific Method) "Optics" to Al-Jazari's (Father of Engineering and Robotics) "Automata"-here, the spirit of Abbas ibn Firnas (Father of Aviation) pierces the veil of illusion and limitation, Avicenna's (Father of Experimental Medicine) and Zahrawi's (Father of Surgery) healing philosophy stirs the essence of modern medicine, and the ink of Fatima Al Fihri (The lady who opened the worlds first university) flows once more into the arteries of contemporary science. Every page echoes
the Qur'anic invitation: "Do they not reflect?" (Afalā tatafakkarūn?), drawing seekers into a sacred orbit where
'Ilm (knowledge) is both a celestial command and an earthly transformation. It reconnects the empirical method with its rightful roots in the
Golden Age of Islam (800-1800). It offers a vital framework for present and future generations to re-engineer global scientific ethics and
"Resuscitate a Civilized Science"-a science in service of
Justice (Adl), Mercy (Rahma), and Peace (Salaam). Collector's Illustrated Colou
