The Islamic Concept of Nature from Biological Perspective

Abstract

According to the naturalists of the current era, the difference between Natural and Unnatural will remain disputed and its definitions will remain variable.  There is a possibility that the things we are considering natural nowadays, may be considered unnatural when we find their negative impact on society or the environment and reciprocally, we may consider an unnatural thing as natural when its harmful aspects may be cured or become unavoidable links in an ecological system. Therefore, currently, we cannot fix a parameter to define nature. Therefore, several parameters are determined by different philosophies, disciplines and religions that may include good or evil, usefulness, average standard, quality at birth, human non-interference, the pre-existing standard of nature etc. Many parameters to determine nature exist at present and will continue to increase its number. The article will try to find the Islamic concept of nature, as Muslims constitute a large population of the world and the Islamic concept of naturalism can't be ignored while making global decisions. Being theoretical research, it is based on the Islamic concept of nature so, Islamic literature is used as background data for research and tried to find the real basis of the Islamic concept of biological nature.

Keywords: Nature, Biological Nature, Genetic Nature, Islamic Naturalism, Creation of God.
