Abstract

A number of contemporary Muslim authors is of the opinion that the Quran contains the information or the knowledge of scientific nature. Consequently they supported the idea of so called tafsir ‘ilmiya, or scientic elucidation of the Quran. This research presents and analyses a number of instances and arguments both in favor and against the tafsir ‘ilmiya. The main conclusion can be expressed in following: so far the arguments in favor of this tafsir are quite vague, however a reliable tafsir ‘ilmi may be considered and accepted as long as it is firmly anchored within a broader Islamic tradition.
