Abstract

Sometimes, interdisciplinary subjects in the Quran and empirical sciences with a history of one thousand years are referred to as scientific interpretations or commentaries (1). This form of interpretation of the Quran is at the center of a triangle with the angles of interpretation, Quran’s scientific miracle, and empirical sciences and is influenced by these three. Scientific interpretation of the Quran in the context of history has been approved and criticized by the commentators of the Quran. Some consider scientific interpretation as a philosophical one while in the medical discussions, medical issues are considered as opposed to the rational sciences like Philosophy and sometimes a scientific interpretation is defined in such a way that does not include all these forms or kinds of methods. However, it seems that a general definition of the scientific interpretation of the Quranic verses includes ‘extracting sciences from the Quran’, ‘imposing scientific findings on the Quran’ and ‘using science for better understanding of the Quranic verses’ (2).
