Introduction: Open Science and the Islamic Pursuit of Knowledge

Islam has a long and celebrated history of scientific exploration and discovery. The Quran itself encourages the pursuit of knowledge and understanding the world around us. Open science, with its emphasis on transparency and collaboration, offers a powerful framework that can enrich this Islamic tradition of knowledge seeking.

This introduction will delve into:
• Open Science in Action: We’ll explore the core principles of open science, including open access to research data, methods, and publications.
• Knowledge Sharing in Islam: We’ll examine the Islamic emphasis on knowledge dissemination, as exemplified by the concept of “ilm” (knowledge) and its importance within Islamic scholarship.
• Open Science for Islamic Knowledge Production: We’ll discuss how open science can empower Muslim researchers to share findings effectively, build upon each other’s work, and contribute to a more robust body of Islamic knowledge.
By understanding the synergies between open science and Islamic values, we can create a more collaborative and impactful environment for knowledge production within Muslim communities.
