Maulana, agla sawal Gurgaon se kya hai Muhammad Bahao-ud-din Khan ne. unhon ne aap se poocha hai does Islam aur Quran helps us to understand science? If yes, how? dekhiye Quran book of science nahin hai. koi Quran ke Quran jo hai koi science ki text book nahin hai. jo log aisa samajhte hain woh bohat ziyada ghalat baat bolte hain. masla sirf itna hai ke Quran aise cheezon ko refer karta hai jo science ka bhi yani subject of study hai.

yeh suraj ke ko refer karta hai, chand ko refer karta hai, zameen ko, pani ko. in sab cheezon ko, nature ko. to bar bar nature ko refer karta hai Quran as a sign. to woh science mein bhi is ka study ki aati hai. to science ka taluq bas itna hi hai, is se ziyada nahin hai. warna Quran koi science ki text book nahin hai. aisa nahin hai ke Quran parhein to aap science ke expert ban jayenge. aisa kuch bhi nahin hai. albata yeh ke saansani maloomat aap ke paas hon to aap Quran ki un ayaton ko ziyada behtar tor par samajh sakenge.
