Scientific Interpretation Between Classical and Modern Period Explanators

التفسير العلمي بين الأقدمين والمحدثين

Abstract

This article focuses on classical commentators such as Fahreddin er-Razi (d. 606/1210), Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (d. 505/1111), Celâlüddin es-Süyûtî (d. 911/1505), and the age of science and technology. It examines the approaches of the 20th century modern commentators to the Qur'an in terms of scientific interpretation. Because the developments in science and technology have also affected the approaches of the commentators to the Qur'an. Namely, some commentators who researched the miraculous and uniqueness of the Qur'an tried to associate every new scientific development with the Qur'an. Tantavi b. Cevherî al-Misrî (d. 1862-1940), Muhammed b. Many contemporary thinkers such as Ahmed el-İskenderânî (d. 1306/1889), Gazi Ahmed Muhtar Pasha (1839-1919) and Muhammed Tevfik Sıdkî (d. 1920) tried to establish a link between the Qur'an and scientific and technological developments. . On the other hand, approaches have emerged that do not accept scientific tafsir and argue that this understanding detaches the Qur'an from its context and argues that the Qur'an moves away from the goal that Allah intended with the understanding of scientific tafsir. The research came in the introduction of two sections and a conclusion that includes the results of the research followed by sources and references.
