Abstract

Our aim in this paper is to show how we are acting
with our students for developping their scientific thinking while trying to
avoid that the facination for science their mind a feeling of strangeness and
alienation, showing that it remains an universal production which has a history
and which scalable, showing them that the science it is a type of thought
distinct of the religious one, and using their introduction in the history of
astronomy in muslim civilisation as a springboard for initiating them to
astronomy. In this paper we describe those goals and the content we teach to
acheave them. In the training entity here described We try to show how it is
possible to support the appeal that religion has on young people nowadays in
our country to root them in scientific thought, and also to highlight the way
in which it has been possible for Muslims to live their faith and in the same
time to appropriate and develop scientific heritage of previous civilizations.
