Abstract

Seyyed Mohammad Ali Hebatuddin Shahristani is one of the scholars of Samarra, born in 1301 AH in Samarra. The book "Astronomy and Islam" is one of his many books in which he examines the Quranic verses related to the science of new astronomy. In 1327 A.H., by writing the book "Astronomy and Islam", he tried to align the appearances of the verses of the Qur'an with the new astronomy to remove any conflict between science and religion. In fact, his thought comes from the motive of defending religion and proving its non-conflict with science to prove that science does not have a newer word than the Quran. Due to the fact that today the discussion of the conflict between science and religion has made theism face wide challenges, we have evaluated the view of Hebat al-Din regarding the multiplicity of earths in the text of the Quran and its comparison with science in order to express the scope of the interaction between science and religion and how they interact. Finally, what can be said for sure is that it is not permissible to combine the revelations with human sciences in order to keep the text of the Quran safe from instability and damage.
