Deen Research Center (DRC) is a Think Tank who research the Quranic cosmology and social system based on the Arabic language used in the Quran and its connection with science of cosmology, biology, archeology, history, psychology, sociology, economics, politics and philosophy.

We renounce all aggression done in the name of Islam and we reject any tradition, belief or history that contradicts the Quran, science and humanism.

We believe the Quran rejects all forms supernatural beliefs, blind worship, oppression, aggression, autocracy, theocracy, tradition, blind-following and anti-scientism. We believe the Quran presents a scientific, secular socio-economic system where in mankind can solve all of their problems pertaining to war, oppression, hunger, racism, discrimination, backwardness and crime that has been present among mankind since it formed its first civilizations. And that the Quran was transmitted to Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allāh al-Hashimi al-Qurashi in the 6-7th century CE in Arabia, by the Developing Force that has created and controls the universe, which in Arabic is called Allah, God in English.

We believe that this scientific secular socio-economic understanding of the Quran, although it was in a very primitve form in the 6-7th century as can been seen from the Medina Charter, was lost due to the influence of the Pagan, Persian and Byzantium religious majority that fell under its system which determined the interpretations of the Quran and the creation of non-Quranic sources of law and beliefs from the 7-8th century CE on. The Arabic language use of the Polytheists, the first audience of the Quran, differed sometimes immensely in meaning with that of the Arabic Jews and Christians which had more religious meanings for words. The politics changed from socio-democratic into kapitalist-monarchies around 150 years after the death of Muhammed, and thus encouraged the change in worldview and the acceptance of religious ideas and beliefs that served an oppressive ruling system so it could control the majority of the people who were already used to a religious kapitalist monarchy system. Persian and Byzantium ruling systems were taken over and so the original Quranic system was buried under controlled interpretations and beliefs.

Non-Quranic myths were taken over and blended with Muslim thought which created a mythological view on reality. Together with distorted stories on Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allāh al-Hashimi al-Qurashi and his successors and making these the models of example, the distorted religion of Islam was created which we know today.

Although the scientific socio-economic system which the Quran presents was lost after the first 2 centuries, its impuls was still felt well into the 11th century CE, encouraging the pursuit of science and development of society. This created marvelous centers as Baghdad of the 9-10th century CE and Muslim Spain which had become a centre for Muslim, Christian and Jewish pluralism and exchange of knowledge, the Ottoman empire who had a more fair, scientific and open system then their Christian counterparts. But all fell as they were mostly based on man-made beliefs and ruling systems that abused and limited the possibilities of the people’s potential and understanding of reality.

Many Islamic reform movements sprang up in the last 1000 years trying to understand what the key was to the power and truth of the first movement of the 7th century, but all were blocked by the religious interpretations and extra-Quranic sources of the 9-11th century and could only reform and simplify the doctrines of their sects or created new ones. Between the 8th and 12th century a rational movement called the Mu’tazilli retained a sense of a rational and scientific understanding of the Quran, but they also became more and more influenced by the religious ideas of their times and their understanding dissapeared as it interfered with the political power of the religious schools or they were assimilated into certain sects and schools.

After long searching and researching scholars in the 19-20th century finally came to the slow realization of what blocked the Quranic message and potential and began to purify the religious influence. Scholars as Sir Syed Khan, Mufti Muhammed Abduh, Allama Muhammed Asad, Inayat Khan Mashriqi, Sir Muhammed Iqbal, Ghulam A . Parwez, Dr. Abdul Wadood, Ahmed Ali and in recent times scholars and writers as Dr. Mohammed Shahrour, Dr. Edip Yuksel, Prof. Riffat Hassan, Dr. Shabbir Ahmad, Prof. Abdullah An-Naim, Prof. Fazlur Rahman and many many more.

This Think Tank is part of this progress to understand and research the Quranic Deen and cosmology based on the Arabic using a scientific, secular socio-economic approach instead of the historical religious approach as has been used in the last 1200 years.
