Ghamidi Sahib View On Science In The Quran
Thanks Faisal this helps. Still I need more info. There are millions of people, including me who were drawn to Islam because it seemed like through scientific references, Quran proved existence of Allah. Although Ghamidi Sahib did not reject any scientific references in Quran, he did not accept them either. Without scientific proofs Quran remains to be no different than any other book, no matter how good of argument anyone presents to prove Allah’s existence. Without scientific references, Quran is no different than any other soothsaying book full of ancient mythical stories. I totally agree in some cases when some scholars stretch the meaning of Quran to fit proven scientific facts, but beyond that there seem to be some clear references to scientific facts in Quran. I wonder if Ghamidi Sahib translates all those verses differently and reject scientific references all together or still accept some. I will have to go verse by verse and check. If all being rejected by Ghamidi Sahib, then it might turn out to be a monumental disappointment from Quran.
Thanks Shoaib. Please interest me with more such info. The one you referenced, ” no contradiction” , is also scientific references in my opinion. The others you referenced are arguable and subjective.
Shoaib, the poetry and philosophy are all subjective and people are sometimes born with such talents. Science is relatively objective than any other method; although not totally fool proof but the best method available for now to prove something.
