It is not permissible for us to interpret the words of Allah or to twist the necks of the verses of Allah toward matters that have occurred or toward the opinions of men.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible for us to interpret the words of Allah or to twist the necks of the verses toward matters that have occurred or toward the opinions and rulings held by those who held them among the scholars of the West or the scholars of the East.
This is because a matter that has occurred does not require establishing evidence from the revelation; a matter that has occurred and taken place does not require proof from the revelation to establish it, because it is a reality, and it is known by the senses, and what is known by the senses cannot be denied.
Therefore, what people know of the wonders of the universe that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has deposited in this vast, expansive universe, what they know of it, does not require us to force the indication of the Qur'an or the Sunnah upon it, so that we twist the necks of the evidence to turn toward this realized, tangible meaning.
