Dr. Noor Gillani is Principal Research Scientist at NASA’s National Space Science and Technology Center, and Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). He was the founder and first National Director of Project PIAR of Aga Khan Education Board – USA.
Over the past fifteen years, inspired by comments made by His Highness the Aga Khan, Dr. Gillani has developed a model of Islamic Humanism based on his personal interpretation of the Qur’anic concept of man. The model addresses both, the question of the purpose of human life and that of balancing our Muslim religious heritage with our non-Muslim Western environment. The essence of the model is presented here in outline form.
