A well-known American scholar and scientist of Bangladeshi origin was in Jubail recently to deliver a lecture on the Holy Qur’an and science.
Abdul Hye, who worked for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for nearly three decades, is actively engaged in propagating the message of Islam. His lecture was organized by Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Ali of the Jubail Dawa and Guidance Center.
He has delivered presentations to NASA team members and at the Islamic Center of East Lansing. His talk, based on copious references from the Holy Qur’an, helped enlighten a large number of men and women about Allah’s supreme power and His authority over His creations.
“It is my firm belief that Islam and science go hand in hand,” he said. “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind.”
Abdullah Al-Omairi, a steadfast backer of the Jubail Dawa Center, thanked Hye for his eye-opening presentation and underlined the importance of conveying the message of the Holy Qur’an to one and all.
During a Q&A session, members of the audience raised points, which prompted Hye to come up with detailed explanations.
