Does Science Support the Quran
:::note[Description]
Question:
Is the Quran’s divinity proven by modern science confirming its verses? - A study of claims that the Quran contains scientific revelations that modern discoveries confirm, and whether this validates its divinity. :::
Answer:
Quran does not need science to support its divinity, neither is Quran a book of science. However, Quran being the word of Allah who is all knowing can’t contradict established scientific facts.
However, muslims are not supposed to using this as a foundational basis for inviting others to Islam or use it themsleves as foundational basis for believing in islamic religion.
Quran is not a book of detailed scientific knowledge, but a book of guidance and admonition. The scientific facts mentioned in Quran are just meant for mankind to reflect on the universe and things around him and to realize the bounties of their lord so that he can show gratitude.
Quran has to be interpreted as per the understanding of the salafs (pious predecessors) and their followers and you will notice the simplicity, certainty and beauty in the explanation from the Salaf, the absence of takalluf (pretentiousness and unnecessary burden in explanation) and the absence of pretending to be intellectual and sophisticated and the absence of pretending to be rooted in the worldly sciences of the non-Muslims when you are clearly not (like todays ‘scientific miracle in Quran’ bandwagon peddlers).
