The Ruling on Studying the Scientific Miracles of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
With you, another.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I completed my master's degree and I wish to prepare for my doctorate. I also wish, Honorable Shaykh, to research the study of the scientific miracles of the Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah. So what do you advise me regarding my doctorate study on this topic?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This topic has no basis in the sciences of the Qur'an. The sciences of the Qur'an are known in the principles of exegesis, and the scientific miracles are not among them. Yes, the Qur'an is a miracle. The Qur'an is a miracle in its wording, in its meaning, and in its rulings. But the "scientific" aspect, which they call scientific, has no evidence for it. Rather, it is conjecture. Attributing this to the Qur'an, saying "this is the meaning of the verse," is saying something about Allah without knowledge. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
