Warning against forcing interpretations of certain Qur'anic verses and attempting to apply them to inventions and ideas discovered in the modern era.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And I say on this occasion: Many of the writers or preachers today try to force the application of some Qur'anic verses to inventions or astronomical ideas discovered in the modern era, thinking that this is a victory for Islam. We say that Islam does not need the forced interpretation of verses in a way that differs from what the scholars of exegesis, both early and later, did, and with a degree of forcing that the context of the verses and their flow cannot bear.
I do not find what was reported from Shaykh al-Sha'rawi to be correct; rather, it contradicts the position of the scholars of exegesis. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
