Welcome to Science Jummah.
Science Jummah is a platform to present and discuss the rich tradition of faith and science in Islam. We connect current Muslim scientists with those from the past, to reveal the trends and achievements in science and how faith is always part of the journey. Join us on a path of discovery, greater understanding and common ground.
Science Jummah does not endorse or promote any particular Islamic sect or school of thought. We do not promote dogma or indoctrination. We do not discuss fiqh. We encourage productive and constructive dialogue.

About Science Jummah.
“Some people say that there’s only science or there’s only God. If you believe in an iPhone, then you believe in science. If you understand how the kidney works, it’s hard not to believe in a God.”
- Marium Husain, Founder
