The Ruling on Naming Scientific Miraculousness in the Interpretation of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a Sudanese resident in Riyadh asking about the miraculousness of the Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah. He asks about studying this and naming it "scientific miraculousness." What is your opinion on this?
Answer:
This "scientific miraculousness" does not serve as an interpretation of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is not interpreted except by the valid methods of interpretation: interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an, interpreting the Qur'an by the Sunnah, interpreting the Qur'an by the interpretation of the Companions, interpreting the Qur'an by the interpretation of the Successors, and interpreting the Qur'an by the requirements of the Arabic language in which it was revealed. These are the methods of interpretation. "Scientific miraculousness" or anything similar is not added to them, because these are conjectures and suspicions that do not constitute an interpretation of the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
