  7. Abstract:
  8. The worldview and value system can use a cognitive-normative framework to select and shape science and technology. Of course, this framework is not the sole factor in shaping and selecting science and technology. The context in which science and technology flourish is also an important factor. Thus a religious science and technology is possible. Furthermore one can find many examples in the contemporary science and technology which are rooted in a secular and naturalistic outlook., but one can shape a science and technology which are rooted in religious worldview and value system. These examples show that one can generate a religious type of science and technology ,but in order to do this one has to make the religious cognitive - normative framework available to Muslim scientists. To begin with one has to assess critically, from religious point of view ,the present science and technology, which are rooted in naturalism and secularism. Then, one has to clarify the capacity of religious worldview and value system in the shaping and the selection of the desired science and technology. With the realization of the practical-theoretical religious framework, human needs might also change and take a different shape .To accomplish this feat, a lot of effort is needed, but a serious and suitable effort can lead to a glorious civilization based on the religion
