Abstract
Muhammad Ibn Nasr’s article addresses scientific development in the first civilizational cycle of the Muslim Ummah, and how the Ummah may restore its pioneering position in its second civilizational cycle. It holds that the factors which obstructed the Ummah’s scientific advancement in the past are the same factors that are impeding its current revival. The article discusses paradoxes and problematic issues in the Ummah, and then discusses the Aristotelian model, epistemological theory in Islam, Muslim scientific thinking, hypotheses of interpretation from a Western perspective, and the conditions for scientific excellence that Muslims have lost and wasted.
