Islamic Awakening – Conversation With Tariq Ramadan: “Impact of Stephen Hawking denial of God”

Dear Sayed,
We, Muslims, have been very active making scientific research on Maths/Physics/Asronomy/Geography… in the beginning of the islamic era, guided or encouraged by all the signs given in the Quran.
There are many books from the last century, describing the scientific “truths”, facts, discoveries or evidences based on the Holly Quran, e.g. this book by a French doctor, Maurice Bucaille called “Bible, Quran and Science”, or publications by Harun Yahya on the “miracles of Quran”
The main problem with this kind of approaches (where you read a verse and see a scientific theory/discovery behind it) is that:
1) you may extract “known” theories, which have already been proved scientifically, from the verses following the approach of Bucaille, i.e. linking scientific facts to possible interpretations of words
2) any “new” discovery may be exactly … anything, since it is not yet scientifically proved! because it is based on your interpretations of the words used in the verses
We need to keep in mind that the Holly Quran is not a scientific publication (no proofs, no discussion, no experimentation…) , it is not aimed to be a collection of scientific theories… Nothing is proved (yet), only Truths. Which means that we need to go on establishing the proofs ourselves. We need to continue the scientific research and contribute actively to this knowledge.
It would be nice if your contribution can propose something like an updated version of Bucaille’s and other researchers work in this field, using similar (or better) methodology:
– Examination of the arabic words and expressions, their roots and ways of using them may reveal new meanings
– When interpretation of verses is ambiguous, please give all the possible meanings, and justify why a certain interpretation is more likely to be the best one (based on %occurrence in other contexts?)
– Each interpretation of a verse should be linked to at least one scientific publication, and strengthened by any similarities between the described phenomenon and the scientific theory
– Then may be new directions for potentially new discoveries: when the interpretations can be “anything”, try to tally interpretations of multiple verses, with multiple new ideas in science…
I wish you success, inshaa’llah!

Dear Sayed, I would like to help you for something, is that 6 days in the Quran, is not the 6 days that we human know. 1 day = 24 hours is something made by human, not by God even if is Him who helped us to know that by giving us a brain. And I am not telling you this from the nowhere, but if you try to find the explanation of the versus you will find that day in arabic is by definition is not the day we know but actually it is an epoch, a circle of time, and we don’t know how long actually is, so saying the total is 12 days, is a wrong conclusion and as you said, we missed the understanding of Quran, I ask Allah to show us the truth and help us to a better understanding.
