SUMMARY:Reclaiming Science: Seeing the Creator in Every Sign
DESCRIPTION:Sound Vision Canada is thrilled to offer Reclaiming Science: Seeing the Creator in Every Sign\, an online workshop with Uzma Ahmed\, Director of Education and Training at the Institute of Integrated Knowledge. \nEducators face two major challenges today: the rise of secular knowledge that veils us from the signs of the Creator by presenting the universe as if it operates independently\, and the spread of instant\, AI-generated information that weakens genuine observation\, reflection\, and their connection to Allah’s signs. \nScience in many classrooms has become secularized\, taught as if the universe functions on its own through “nature\,” “systems\,” or “forces.” This removes meaning and veils the signs that point to Allah’s knowledge\, will\, and mercy. \nWhen children learn to read the signs in the universe\, science becomes a pathway to discovering the Creator\, not a subject that distracts from Him. \nFor Educators K-12: Teachers and Homeschooling Parents \nBy the end of this training session\, attendees will: \n\nRecognize scientific phenomena through attentive observation (tafakkur)\, seeing their order\, harmony\, and purposeful design as signs (āyāt) pointing to Allah’s knowledge\, will\, and mercy rather than independent processes.\nIdentify and filter secular language in science that presents the universe as self-sustaining\, replacing it with accurate\, Tawhidi-aligned explanations.\nUnderstand the distinction between human intellect\, Divine Knowledge\, and AI-generated output\, acknowledging AI as a tool without intention\, will\, or creativity.\nApply the 5D Thinking approach to science lessons\, moving from observation to meaning and connecting scientific understanding to deeper awareness of the Creator.\n\nWe are pleased to offer the session’s video recording and slides to all registered participants. These resources will be shared within a week after the event\, insha Allah. \nUzma Ahmed is the Director of Education and Training at the Institute of Integrated Knowledge. Uzma is responsible for the 5D Thinking Model training program\, consultancy\, and resource development. She brings a wealth of experience\, having worked for 25 years in various educational roles including school principal\, curriculum developer\, researcher\, and teacher trainer for schools worldwide. \n*IMPORTANT* We will be sharing the Zoom link with registrants via email shortly before the event.
