Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner sent a set of questions, starting with: What is the correct vision, Shaykh Salih, regarding the tafsir (exegesis) of the Noble Qur'an through scientific miracles in the Qur'an?
Answer:
It is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an except through the correct, known methods of tafsir from the Salaf: interpreting the Qur'an with the Qur'an, interpreting the Qur'an with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), interpreting the Qur'an with the interpretation of the Companions, and interpreting the Qur'an with the interpretation of the language in which it was revealed, which is the Arabic language. These are the methods of tafsir. As for scientific miracles, this is a recent development, consisting of theories that may be wrong or may be right. Should the words of Allah the Exalted be interpreted by them? No.
