– The Islamic civilization fostered the development of cryptography, linguistics, and mathematics over the centuries.

– The Quranic story of Adam learning the names of things establishes a connection between language, freedom, creativity, and humanity’s role as God’s khalifa (vicegerent) on Earth.

– The Quranic emphasis on tawhid (divine unity) is deeply connected to mathematical and logical principles, reflected in concepts like the “argument of mutual exclusion” used to prove the existence of one God.

– The Quranic worldview, with its abstract conceptualization of the divine and avoidance of anthropomorphism, shaped a distinct Islamic aesthetic sensibility that later influenced contemporary digital/computer art.

– Thinkers like Fakhr al-Din al-Razi anticipated modern ideas about the plurality of worlds and the non-centrality of the Earth, going against Aristotelian philosophy.

– The coherence and logical rigor of the Quranic worldview provided a fertile ground for the flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, and mechanical sciences in Islamic civilization.

– Concepts like “algorithmic” and “computational” can be used to understand key Quranic ideas about language, text, and the structure of the universe.

– The simplicity and abstraction of Quranic principles, such as the oneness of God, parallels the elegant simplicity of Bitcoin’s underlying design.

– The historical decline of Islamic scientific and technological achievements is lamented, with a call to rediscover the original meanings and implications of the Quran.

– There is a strong connection between the Quranic worldview, the development of mathematics and cryptography in Islamic civilization, and the emergence of contemporary digital technologies like Bitcoin.
