Ghamidi Sahib View On Science In The Quran
If for you or others the proof of the Quran is in science then there’s no problem. However, to say that without scientific references, Quran is a soothsayers book full of mythical references is pretty demeaning – not only for the Quran itself – but also for those who have believed in it for the last 1500 years without scientific proofs. Quran verse 30:30 states that the true religion is that of natural disposition (fitrah) that God has instilled into man. Furthermore, the Quran repeatedly uses the three fundamental human sources of knowledge (empirical evidence, intellect, and established history) – especially in the Makkan chapters – to argue for the existence of God, the day of judgement, the prophet, and the scripture. These, by the way are the same sources of knowledge that even provide a basis for science and all other fields of knowledge. When we approach the Quran using the same epistemology that it uses itself, it makes such an undeniable case for religion that there’s no room left for any doubts. I can wholeheartedly attest that once Quran is understood from this angle, scientific proofs don’t add anything to one’s certainty about God and His religion.

It will require a lot of patience, however, the knowledge and the understanding obtained will be well worth the time and the effort: Discussion 37138 and Discussion 30094
