[quote]Wa Alaikum Assalaam,

I personally very much agree with the statement. Taking the first part, "Science without religion is lame" (this bit was actually originally quoted by Albert Einstein) - it makes perfect sense. Science on it's own explains the "hows" of the world and the universe - it explains how the universe was created, how the earth goes around the sun, how our body works etc - but all of this is quite pointless is we choose to ignore the "why" behind it all... why was the universe created, why do we exist etc.. all these questions can only be answered by religion. So, here's a new quote for u: "Science explains how, religion explains why"

Moving on to the second part: "Religion without science is blind" - this must have been brought up to answer the "How do i know that my religion is the right one, and not any of the others i see in the world today?" - Now, if i were to believe in Islam just because my parents tell me to, that would be blind faith, i wouldnt even be justifying it to myself, let alone non-Muslims i meet everyday. But by using science (the quest for knowledge), I can show that Islam and the Holy Qur'an do indeed encourage science and in turn, modern scientific facts can be found in the Qur'an, and these are the basis by which we justify our faith to be genuine and not blind. I could give u examples of such scientific facts if you'd like...

Hope that helped. May Allah guide us all on to the straight path, Ameen.[/quote]
