“…According to Descartes, S needs to know that God exists and that everything in existence is a manifestation of God's will, and S must also know that the mind is distinct and more noble than the body in order to regulate our passions and exercise virtue (Ibid.). These two metaphysical truths are grounded in clear and distinct perceptions (Parvizian 2021).…”

That Descartes' God is not a deceiver is amongst the canonical claims of early modern philosophy. The significance of this (purported) fact to the coherence of Descartes' system is likewise canonical, infused in how we teach and think about the Meditations.Though prevalent, both ends of this narrative are suspect. We argue that Descartes' color eliminativism, when coupled with his analysis of the cognitive structure of our sensory systems, entails that God is a deceiver. It's doubtful that Descartes recognized this, given his insistence that God is not a deceiver, and the role this plays in his system. But this is a concession Descartes can grant if we are careful about the kind of deception at play-a kind Descartes does recognize, albeit not without some ambiguity.On our story, Descartes' metaphysics and epistemology are not driven by concerns about deception per se, but by concerns about God's benevolence.'You say that God cannot lie or deceive. Yet there are some schoolmen who say he can'.

Despite the fact that Islam being one of/counts among the major religions of the world, scientific progress in Muslim majority countries seems to be lagging behind the rest of the world. Therefore, there have been calls by Muslim scholars and clerics to bridge the gap between Islam and science, especially for young Muslims, by harmonising science and Islam in education. This study aims to analyze the documents pertaining to Islam, Science, and Education (ISE) extracted from the historical literature. For the purpose of analysis, firstly documents were retrieved from a scientific database and secondly, a descriptive analysis of temporal trends was conducted. The documents clustered according to as the time-lined categories were and then analysed qualitatively. Later, using VOS viewer, the analysis of spatial distribution, networks, and keywords was conducted. It was found that the evolution of ISE converged into a broader spectrum from earlier in medicine and later to other areas, which encompassed Qur’ānic studies, social studies and economics, and even technology. The volume of publication versus the network links strength provided evidence that there is a need to stimulate collaborative works by/through knowledge dissemination through/from an authoritative platform for the researches concerning ISE. This study also discovered that some severe biases that might contribute towards the results being skewed in the finding or even underrepresentation of scholarly works in ISE. The findings of this study are beneficial for the researchers reviewing this topic and the educators working to harmonize Islam and science in education.
