| Summary: | In recent decades we have been given one of the most interesting
concepts in Islamic intellectual history, `the scientific miracle of Qur’ān
whereby the proponents have almost established the scientific theories in
the Qur’ān. However, such ardent claims must not come to be without any
inspiration and methodology. This article, firstly, tries to trace the inspiration
of such concept and then describe the methodology. However, as exciting as
this concept seems, the methodology brings forth a very negative approach to
prove the miracle of the Qur’ān, which is value free. That negative value free
mentality which is related to the status of prophet of Islam will be exposed and
it will detail how the status of prophet of Islam was abated so badly to prove the
science from the Qur’ān. To counter this negative narrative and to reveal the
true status of prophet of Islam, arguments will be presented from the Qur’ān
and Ḥadīth which are incontrovertible. Let it be known than, this analysis is
not general but particular. However, it will be a novel critique to re-visit this
concept. |
