Page 2 - How Do The Unwise Interpret The Qur'an ?
P. 2
T his book discusses the reasons
why unperceptive people who lack faith
misinterpret the Qur’an, studies various examples
of their illogical comments and objections to the
Qur’anic verses and responds to them. Furthermore, the
mindlessness, prejudice and deficient logic of some people,
who are accepted by the public as reputable scientists or
respectable intellectuals, are also revealed by using their own
objections to the Qur’anic verses.
We should not forget there is no limit to the confusions and
inconsistencies an unwise person with limited capacity can
fabricate about the Qur’an and Islam. This is because the Qur’an
possesses a style that can only be grasped with reason and
understood with sincerity. For this reason, there is no need to be
surprised by the absurdity of the interpretations and objections an
unwise person may make.
The Qur’an states that those who do not believe have no reason or
understanding. If we were to view the unwise interpretations of
nonbelievers from a Qur’anic perspective, we would no longer be
surprised, but consider them as a warning and a sign.
Furthermore, true believers have neither the time nor the need to
respond to each and every fabrication.
The true believer is responsible for conveying the Qur’an’s facts
and miracles to others. Falsehood is bound to vanish when the
truth comes. In the Qur'an, it is said:
Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right
through it and it vanishes clean away! Woe without end for
you for what you portray! (Surat al-Anbiya: 18)
Falsehood is always doomed to disappear:
Say: ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished.
Falsehood is always bound to vanish.’ We send down in
the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to
the believers, but it only increases the
wrongdoers in loss. (Surat al-Isra': 81-82)
