The Quran and science in the light of classical Arabic
Nabeel Alkhailidy a teacher at the Sibaway Institute of Arabic Studies, explores the verses that modern day Muslims use to confirm the scientific accuracy of the Quran. A number of non Muslims have raised criticisms about these claims and have stated that " Modern day Muslims are translating verses to fit scientific facts".
The research presented in these videos will be using the classical Quranic commentaries and Classical Arabic dictionaries to delve deeper into these claims to see if they are supported.
The Arabic language is a preserved language and therefore Muslim scholars know exactly what every word in the Quran means. The words of the Quran is also preserved and has come to us today through an unbroken chains of transmission back from the Prophet ( peace and blessings be upon him).
