Camel word was used several times in the Quran and it seems that the most important of them is verse 17 in the Sura of Ghashie. In this verse the importance of the camel is equal to massive creations such as Heaven and Earth and deniers have been invited to study of how is the creation of the camel. Camel is more widely used in hot, arid regions of the world from ancient times and its efficacy was equivalent to all domestic animals. As well as it is known as the main reason for the survival of humanity and civilization in the desert. Special physiological and biological characteristics of this animal were identified in recent studies and also it was determined that there are unique properties in the milk and antibodies of the camel. The findings show that there are many therapeutic properties in camel milk for a variety of diseases, including diabete, cancer and other deadly infectious diseases that treatment of them is not yet possible to man. On the other hand the camel's immune system produces a unique antibody namely nanobody, that its special properties make it very suitable for different usage especially as a therapeutic reagent. Then new scientific findings define the importance of camel in the Quran. This article has attempted to clear the importance of this amazing creature in religion and the Quran with some scientific overviews.

With the emergence of the scientific movement and the development of natural sciences, science and religion have faced many challenges in their relationship, and different viewpoints have been set forth on how they are related. In addition to conflict theory, which believes that religion and sciences are contradictory, there are other theories on the relationship between the two such as contrast, contact, and confirmation theories. Morteza Motahhari and Mehdi Bazargan as two Muslim thinkers with two different approaches have tried to show that there is no conflict between religion and science. Motahhari tries to solve the so-called conflicts by referring to philosophical presuppositions. He believes that religion confirms scientific developments and humans need both religion and science. On the other hand, Bazargan uses scientific data to show that religion and science correspond to each other and religion is in conformity to science. Indeed, he believes that science and religion have similar accomplishments. Bazargan’s ideas on the relation between religion and science became more oriented to contrast theory in the final years of his life.

Ian Barbour, American physicist and theologian, undoubtedly is a prominent and effective figure in new debates about the relation between science and religion. Some of his works count as a turning point and the beginning of recent discussions about science and religion. He divides views or suggested models about relation between them in four groups: conflict, independence, dialogue, and integrity. His personal analysis tends to dialogue with an apparent tendency towards integrity and unity that is consistent with his process thought and critical realism.

Maslow’s human motivation theory has been considered as one of the most influential theories of psychology since its emergence. In this theory, basic human needs are ranked in a pyramid. Based on this hierarchy, basic needs, such as physiological needs, safety needs, etc., should be met first. In this hierarchy, the need for self-actualization and transcendence are placed at the highest level. Thus, an inevitable order and hierarchy of needs govern the fulfillment of the needs. Using a qualitative comparative approach and content analysis method, this study tries to critically review Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory from the point of view of Islam and The Holy Quran. The results of the study show that in order to achieve self-actualization and transcendence defined by The Quran, it is not necessary to fulfill all the prior needs. Even in some cases, it is necessary for humans to disregard some or all their prior needs. Some examples of contradiction mentioned in The Quran include fasting, avoiding hypocrisy, martyrdom, and divine trials.

This study examines the two concepts of interactionism and coherence in the context of concepts in the context of epistemological structures in the field of philosophy of religious knowledge with the conceptualization approach by adding a combined method And tries to offer a proposal to justify the propositions and the type of their relationship in the field of religious knowledge by considering the limitations of religious knowledge and exploring the valley of interactionism and the epistemological structure of coherence.After rereading the two concepts of interactionism and coherence in the philosophy of religious knowledge, it is necessary to express the corresponding concepts according to the structural considerations of the new context.Considering the nature of interactive and coherent structures and also considering the nature of religious knowledge and its requirements, the model of the desired structure can be considered as a rational, coherent, moderately interactive religious knowledge with preservation and scope of application of each.The structure of moderate rational religious knowledge, in order to strengthen justifiability and expand the foundations of the text outside of it, as well as in order to methodically monitor the coherence of the structure, constantly uses cohesive loops and interactive mechanisms. Timely response to theoretical and practical challenges and questions, uses them temporarily to rebuild the structure
