The Ruling on Scientific and Numerical Miracles in the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on what they call the scientific miracle in the Qur'an, or what is called the numerical miracle? Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
The scientific miracle they speak of now is an interpretation of the Qur'an without the known rules of interpretation, which are interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an, or by the Sunnah, or by the statements of the Companions, or by the statements of the Successors, or by the rules of the language in which it was revealed. This scientific miracle is an addition they have made now. They want to use theories—medical theories, astronomical theories, and others—as the interpretation. These are human conjectures that err and hit the mark. So do not make them an interpretation of the Qur'an and say, "This is what Allah, Glorified and Exalted, intended." Then later they say, "This theory is not correct," and there becomes a tampering with the words of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. No, theories are not to be made an interpretation of the Qur'an, not at all. This is speaking about Allah without knowledge, and it is a place for refutation and invalidation. Therefore, you will find them affirming something today and denying it tomorrow when they realize the opposite, because they are human theories.
