Different Interpretations Of Religion
Umer Khan. The meaning of any word or sentence is inside the person itself. For example, if you talk about a “flying object” to a person a few thousand years ago, he will imagine a bird, but these days, they may imagine a bird, an airplane, a rocket, etc. So the point is that no matter what word you write or whatever you say, people will derive difference meaning based on the their knowledge, experience, emotions and intentions. Similarly, if someone has bad intentions, the person would see a different meaning in the same verse than a person with good intentions. Similarly based on a person’s knowledge, command of Arabic language, knowledge of history. etc. the person may derive a slightly different meaning of a verse than the others. This only applies to the details of a subject; that doesn’t negate the overall message of Allah. But when it comes to understanding the overall message of the Allah in Quran, all the person with good intention would come up with the same meaning. In such cases there is no difference in understanding. In my example of a flying object above. There will be no difference in understanding between people that we are talking about something that flies, the difference in understand between people will be in details as to what that particular flying object looks like, how it flies, what it is made of, etc.
