Introduction: The Reason-Faith Synthesis debate has surfaced many a times, in differing forms and intensities, across the history of cultures and civilizations of the humankind. At times it has presented itself as integration of all sciences and knowledge while at other times one can witness similar attempts at combining religion, mainly Christianity and Islam with sciences and philosophy.

This paper focuses on the issue of synthesis of reason and faith from a purely Pakistani paradigm and no attempt is made to suggest an overall grand synthesis between cultures and civilizations at this stage. Some clarification of the terms faith and reason, as they are used in this paper, needs to be made. I define faith, from the point of view of this paper, as an overall “Islamic inclination” towards life, based on the practice of Islam in both orthodox and mystical manner in the contemporary Pakistani society, while reason is meant to highlight a “western inclination or attitude” based on the western methods and views of rationalism and empiricism in science and philosophy, and life in general.
