Methodology of Interpretive Narrations in Explaining Geological Terms and Phrases of the Quran(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Recognizing the organized system of the impeccable Imams' (AS) interpretive methods in explaining geological verses, and their efforts in the process of understanding the Quranic verses and reaching God's intent through scientific explanation, can provide effective methods for interrogating the Quran in this type of verse. The Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the Companions, in interpreting the scientific verses of the Quran, generally adopted three approaches: "Linguistic explanation, conceptual interpretation, and reference to the Quran itself." However, conceptual interpretation was more prevalent, and linguistic explanation was mostly dedicated to the semantics of words. While paying attention to other verses of the Quran and using their own rational arguments, they explained the Quran and eluded to its cosmic and internal signs, such as subduction, the non-annihilation of matter, and other matters. The present study explores how the Imams (AS) studied and approached the geological verses of the Holy Quran. Through content analysis and library-based data collection, the narrations are examined. By comparing the geological verses, scientific narrations, and natural sciences, it is concluded that the Impeccable Imams (AS) not only paid attention to the science of their time but also addressed issues that were unknown to the thinkers of that era and were discovered by scientists centuries later. They employed various methods to convey the meaning of scientific verses, such as semantic explanation, imagery, stating the cause, conceptual interpretation, and so on
