This issue explores the dynamic interplay between Islam, scientific thought, and the emergence of socially-engaged movements in contemporary societies. At a time when modern science is often seen either in conflict with or detached from religious traditions, this volume highlights how Islamic worldviews have not only responded to scientific developments but have also generated new forms of civil activism rooted in the pursuit of justice, knowledge, and moral transformation.

Drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives, ranging from political theology and sociology of science to Islamic studies and civil society theory, the articles in this issue demonstrate how faith and reason, far from being opposing forces, have historically coexisted and continue to inspire collective mobilizations. Whether addressing environmental ethics, educational reform, feminist reinterpretations, or critiques of technocracy, the contributions show how Islam and science intersect as intellectual and spiritual energies within the lifeblood of civil movements.

By critically engaging with both classical Islamic epistemologies and modern scientific paradigms, this issue invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of religious authority, the role of knowledge in activism, and the potential for renewed public spheres in Muslim-majority and plural societies alike.
