Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology, with all the advantages and benefits has brought for man a negative effect on moral and human values in society. The age of technology has caused a type of mechanization of human life and human behavior. It has caused people to drift far away from virtues and the accepted traditional values of society. The main reason for this is the industrial development of most of the countries without adequate attention to the values dominating that society. Therefore it is the appropriate time, if it is not too late, to discuss and propose the inculcation of values into modern science and technology. However, this is not simply cosmetic addition of religious values and terminology to modern sciences and applied technology, neither is this an attempt to lend a sort of religious legitimacy to technology by grafting of relevant Qur’anic verses on technology as well as science. On the contrary, it is holistic approach involving in the first place the evaluation of modern science and technology that emerged out of Western philosophy of science which diametrically incongruent with the Islamic one, traceable from the worldview that Islam and the West have.
