The relationship between "reason and faith" or "science and religion" is articulated in Islam in a particular way by the fact that the Koran is interpreted as a revelation addressed to the intellect and by the splendour of the sciences during the golden age of this civilisation in the Middle Ages. After its collapse, with the challenge of the scientific rationalism of the 19th century and the apologetic intention of Islam, on the one hand, and of liberation against colonialism, Islamic reformism proposes a "return to reason" and science. However, a current of "scientific interpretation of the Koran" was born, which was more an Islamisation of science than a rationalisation of Islam.
