Critical Study of Tafseer Rooh-Ul-Bayam by Sheikh Ismail Haqqi (Tafseer-ul-Quran and Material Sciences)

Abstract

Qur’an being a divine source of guidance is a spotless and error-free book. Tafseer-ul Qur’an-il-Kareem has always been the topic of research among the scholars of Islam as they were specially guided to acquire this knowledge: Qur’an, being a source of guidance to all and sundry, covers all aspects of life. So, it has discussed multifarious subjects which are unlimited. It is not the task of one man to have expertise on every subject. That is why in many of the exegetes we find erroneous interpretations of the Qur’anic Verses. Especially on the subjects related to pure sciences, they discussed them while they lacked in knowledge. If the situation sustains, the Qur’anic guidance cannot be conveyed widely and properly. It is, therefore, the need of the hour for the explainers of the Holy Qur’an to be well versed in material sciences as well before raising their pen on such sensitive topics
