Abstract

The writer introduces Allamah Tabatabaee as consenting to the scientific interpretation, and considers the difference of Allamah's scientific interpretation with others, in that Allamah does not directly make use of science in underestanding and interpreting the verses but first he interprets the verses with the help of other verses, and then take adventage of scientific interpretation, and avoids comparing the verses with scientific findings and date. Among instances of scientific interpretation in the Qur'an are the impact of weight on growth of plants; pairness of all things; expansion of the universe and the difference of night and day. In the end Allamah's method in criticism and survey of scientific interpretation is divided into in-religious and out-religious.
