Q: I am a Muslim. One night a thought strikes my mind that “may be after the scientists have discovered some particular thing then the arabs have added those discoveries in the Quran by replacing the previous ayats.
Please try to understand that I am not saying that the Quran is written by humans, rather my question is that may be they have done some mixing by adding the scientific ayats and saying that it is already written in the Quran.
For example in surah “Al ambiya” it says that the heavens and the earths were joined together and we cleft it asunder”. My question is that in Surah al Ambiya may be after the big bang theory was discovered the arabs added this verses in the surah al anbiya about the big bang theory?
My question is that was there such adding if scientific ayats in the Quran by the arabs or the Muslims and I am not saying that the Quran is written by humans but my question is that was there any addition of scientific verses in the Quran by the arabs secretly?
A: Naoozubillah, how can you ever think like this. What you are saying is that there are additions and changes to the Qur’aan. This itself is a fact of disbelief. Only a kaafir can say this. The Qur’aan Shareef is exactly in the state that it was revealed. You are being so overwhelmed with science. Science is nothing significant compared to the greatness and majesty of the Qur’aan.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
