Exegesis of the Qur'an Using Mind Maps and Diagrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this is a questioner who says: One of those influenced by the technique of the mind map
The Shaykh:
A map.
The questioner:
Diagrams, these tables, and so on, as well as the tree structures.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
Illustrative diagrams, the mind map.
The Shaykh:
Mind map? Yes. I know what a mind map is. What is a map? Huh?
The questioner:
It encourages some information and divides it, while adding some images, colors, signs, and symbols. It is an illustrative drawing that gathers what is scattered.
The Shaykh:
To the illustrative diagram, do not call it a map. Yes.
The questioner:
As stated in the question. Yes. He says: Yes, in the exegesis of Surat Yunus (peace be upon him) with falsehood. So she said: When Allah the Exalted said:[Yunus 10:2] she drew a foot, and when He said: [As-Sajdah 32:4] she drew a footstool, and she used the entire surah.
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible, it is not permissible, and it is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an with these images. That is to say, according to your understanding, you imagine these images. A foot, truth, you do not understand the foot except as the foot of a human being. You imagine the verse does not intend this. You are interpreting the Qur'an other than its interpretation and saying about Allah without knowledge. So do not draw images as an interpretation of the Qur'an. For this reason, the scholars condemned the interpretation of Tantawi Juhayri, a well-known Egyptian who interprets the Qur'an and places images for the meanings of the verses. This is not permissible, yes.
