Therefore, the purpose of this research was to examine the qur'ānic and experimental scientific perspectives on the issue of the origin of life on Earth. In this paper, after examining the literal meanings and the technical usages of relevant terms, the relationship between the Qur'ān and experimental science is examined. The qur'ānic verses (including the Qur'ān 21:30 and 24:45) and the interpretations of the Muslim qur'ānic exegetes have been discussed. Thereafter, some prominent scientific theories/hypotheses such as the special creation, aquatic origin, spontaneous generation, eternity of life, evolution, and RNA and DNA worlds are discussed and critically reviewed. The descriptive-analytical research method was used in this study, is and the findings showed that the Qur'ān discusses the origin of life on the Earth mysteriously and it does not offer a single, unified theory regarding it. Likewise, the majority of the theories/hypotheses proposed by the ancient and contemporary scientists on the origin of life on Earth are not in conformity with the qur'ānic report.

In the religious worldview, however, faith is a light that gives direction to life and it is one of the crucial requisites for salvation in this world and the Hereafter. Thus, the primary aim of this study is to examine the role of faith (i.e) in attaining a goodly pure life in this modern age in the light of verse 97 of Surah al-Naml.
METHOD AND FINDING: The methodology used in this research work was a descriptive-analytical research method in which the available data are analyzed based on logical and textual evidence.
CONCLUSION: The outcome of this research showed that the life of a faithful is indeed worthy and ideal, while a life that is devoid of it is a worthless and imperfect one. Similarly, a goodly pure life without faith in God and righteous deeds is infeasible. For it is only under the shadow of faith that man could attain both material and spiritual developments.

This has resulted in the formation of various policies and the establishment of agents in this direction. The aim of this study is to examine the Islamic perspective on nature and environment. The methodology used in this research paper was a narrative analytical method in which references were made to the verses of Qur'an, the Hadiths and other related works on the topic to reach the research outcome after a thorough analysis. Meanwhile, after a conceptual analysis of the related terms; Quranic worldview on nature/environment and the Islamic approaches to an environmental conservation were critically analyzed based on the available data.The outcome of our research shows that Islam since its inception fourteen centuries ago had given special attention to the environmental hygiene and in the same way special attention is given to the physical hygiene. ...

In conclusion, if the human being and the Muslims in particular could abide by the Islamic recommendations on nature and environment, the world would remain a better place to live for all and sundry. In the contemporary world, the nature or the natural environment is being affected on daily basis by the activities of man and this has resulted in the emergence of numerous sicknesses; a lower life expectancy rate and unhealthy lifestyles. At present, the common environmental challenges facing the humanity across the globe include pollution, ozone layer depletion, global warming, acid rain, desertification, deforestation, natural resource depletion, overpopulation, and waste disposal problems. Thus, the world today more than any other time in the past is in dire need of collective efforts by the stakeholders towards achieving meaningful and concrete resolutions and international policies on environmental protection. Without any doubt, several efforts have been taken by governments and some individual organizations towards the conservation and preservation of a wholesome and conducive environment. Joseph Hyder
