The introduction of modern sciences into Iran, much like other Western innovations during the Qajar era, elicited diverse reactions. Among these reactions were those of religious scholars, who held a special position in Iranian society at the time. Therefore, studying the engagement of this group with modern sciences, as one of the most significant manifestations of Western civilization, can provide deeper insights into how Iranians interacted with new phenomena. One such scholar was Sayyid Asadullah Mir-Salami Kharaqani (1254-1355 AH), who was socially active from a young age and later became involved in politics during and after the Constitutional Revolution. Kharaqani familiarized himself with modern sciences and some of their concepts, utilizing the outcomes of these sciences to support his religious and social views, such as in discussions on the consumption of intoxicants and polygamy. However, this did not imply an unconditional acceptance of modern sciences. While he encouraged Muslims to benefit from the advantages of these sciences, particularly their methodologies, and questioned the accepted assumptions of traditional natural sciences, he also critiqued certain aspects of modern sciences, most notably the theory of evolution. This study seeks to examine Kharaqani's arguments, alignments, and criticisms regarding modern sciences, focusing on his surviving works and considering the role and context of his religious concerns. It also addresses the question of whether he can be definitively categorized as an opponent or proponent of modern sciences, or if a more nuanced perspective is warranted.
