Abstract

So Many interpretations and meanings of Qur’an has been made so far, and those precious persons and figures who did these exhibited their valuable opinions and remarks according to their knowledge accumulation, faculty of reasoning and personal characteristics. On the one hand that does not mean that everything has been articulated about Qur’an and its content. On the other way around, such a view does not apply for a divine book like Qur’an, meaning of which is eternal and infinite, but is also invalid for modern sciences which are based on formulas that suggest us that they are certain truths. As the mankind and our world get older, sciences improve and their scope of work has to be re-defined over and over. Similarly, an always dynamic book like Qur’an which contains points and cues concerning every kind of social and scientific issues, and which can manifest and talk to the people regarding the science and understanding of the era has to be re-read and re-interpret and re-comment as the time and ages goes by. Some points; interpretations and explanations will go on to be the same and will show little differentiations since man and his entity who are the main subjects of it has been and go on to be the same. It exhibits little differentiations, also sometimes never changes depending on the time. But since the sciences which explore and observe the man and his environment, the cosmos, advances, they become renewed. On the basis of those advancements the Qur’an should be re-read and explained according to the conditions of the time, afterwards its explanations and declarations about sciences and cosmos have to be rediscovered. This is a natural fact that the progress brings forward. Considering those facts it must be an aspect of mentally, intellectually and spiritually underdeveloped modern humanity that regards any kinds of meaning of Qur’an and interpretation of it as unnecessary.
