The Ruling on Introducing Scientific Miracles into Qur'anic Exegesis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the so-called scientific miracle fall under the miracles of the Qur'an?

Answer:
I do not know. This scientific miracle is the work of humans, and they err and they hit the mark. Medical or astronomical theories that people have put forth may be wrong or right, so we do not make them an interpretation of the Noble Qur'an. Then something comes that refutes them, falsifies them, and invalidates them, and then we say the Qur'an is not correct.
Because these have not become correct. This is the speech of humans and the work of humans, and the Qur'an is not interpreted except by the known methods of interpretation. First, the Qur'an is interpreted by the Qur'an. Second, the Qur'an is interpreted by the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Third, the Qur'an is interpreted by the statements of the Companions who studied under the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and learned the interpretation of the Qur'an from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Fourth, the Qur'an is interpreted by the statements of the Tabi'un who studied under the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and received the interpretation from them, and they received it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for the speech of people and what they call the scientific miracle, all of this is conjecture with no evidence for it. This is like the Isra'iliyyat; do not make it an interpretation of the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
