The Sahabah didn't have any upper hand in technology yet they were given honor and victory over those who had power and technology (in their time).

I don't mean to say that technology is not to be used at all or it's completely useless. It's just that it wasn't the main cause of honor and dominance of Islam.
brother even at the time of the Sahaba the Muslims started learning at the instructions of the Holy Prophet (saws)

- even to the extent that the prisoner of war who taught Muslims to read would be freed...

for example...

How did Muslims fight the battle of the trench?

was it with stones and sticks and leaving it to Allah and just trusting that Allah will fix everything for us?

no - it was by digging a trench with stakes in it for defense, something that Salam al-Farsi (raa) had seen in Persia -

but which was at that point superior military technology to that possessed by the Quraish who had no ability to deal with it

and which (through the mercy of Allah) allowed the believers to defeat the enemies of Islam in that battle.


Prophet Muhammad (saws) told us to seek knowledge even in China

and we know full well that it wasn't religious knowledge he was talking about

it was worldly knowledge and science is just as system for gaining this knowledge

(in China or elsewhere)


in the current era scientific methodology is indispensable brother
