Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I hope you will direct a word to those who interpret the Qur'an by what is called the scientific miracle, since many people today have made this miracle one of the foundations of their creed.
Answer:
They should fear Allah and not speak about Allah without knowledge. They should not say, "This is the interpretation of the Qur'an." But if they said, "Perhaps the verse points to this thing by way of possibility, not by way of certainty," the matter would be light. As for them saying, "This is the interpretation of the verse, and the first ones who interpreted it were wrong," with some saying this and the old interpretations becoming wrong, so that a new interpretation of the Qur'an comes about—this is ascribing to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. If they said, "It is possible that this falls within the meaning of the verse, or that the verse includes it by way of expectation," the matter would be light. But being certain is difficult; you cannot say, "This is the intent of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He." And it is even worse if you believe that the early interpretations are not correct. Yes.
