As innovative technologies reshape societies, their intersection with faith and tradition remains a critical discourse. My talk will explore how technological metaphors can provide new perspectives on Islamic theology, illustrating how faith and innovation can coexist harmoniously. Rather than viewing technology as a challenge to religious principles, we can understand it as a tool that aligns with and even enhances theological understanding. This discussion aims to bridge the perceived divide between science and faith, encouraging an inclusive dialogue between religious and technological communities. By fostering an environment where technological advancements are seen as means of ethical and moral enhancement, we can inspire a more engaged approach to modern innovation.
