Author

Abstract

Unlike the West, where the issue of relationship between science and religion, led to a conflict of the sacred texts with a religious proposition, In the Islamic world and the Muslim community the Holy Quran has always been a source of education and knowledge. Quran emphasizes on knowledge more than anything else. The relation between the Qur'an and Sciences led to flourishing Islamic civilization and progress of sciences and technology. Proofs of this statement are numerous in Quranic propositions that explicitly marked the value of science and scientist, science education, and connection to the nature as a way for communicate with God(such verses are Baqara 31, 15 and 16 Naml, 9 Az-Zumar, 26 Fater,1-5 Alagh, 5 Tarek, 30 Prophets, ...); The emergence of Islamic civilization (and even the primary fields of it in Western civilization) that it must be owed to Holy Quran, And to quote George Sarton: for a full understanding of Muslims activity in the scientific fields, the pivotal role of the Qur'an in their lives must be notified.(Introduction to the History of Science, p. 46).
On this basis, present paper is going to take an overview of the sociology definitions and its status in the sciences to point out sociology subject, goals and method in the humanities collection. In the following three sections discussed: the goals and requirements, attention to the relationship between the Qur'an and sociology, and expressing viewpoints and aspects on linking Quran and sociology. Finally, to complete the discussion a sample taken from the Holy Quran as the topics and themes in sociological studies, reviewed. As a result, offers a marginal output toward the sociology science and its relationship with the Quran so to prepare groundwork for experts to try to provide a critique of the article.
