Abstract

Despite the different and sometimes contradictory perceptions and interpretations of the Noble Qur’an within the past 14 centuries, the unprecedented developments in the realm of empirical science at the contemporary age have made the commentators to boost their scientific and rational look at the Qur’anic verses regardless of their different exegetical methods and principles. Muhammad Abduh as one of the founding figures of Neo-Mu’tazilism has attempted to adopt a moderate approach to the extraordinary events in the Qur’an. Therefore, although he has admitted those events he has also proposed some scientific probabilities and justifications for them. However, the author of Tafsir al-Mizan holds that bringing scientific justifications denotes the denial of the extraordinary events in the Qur’an. Allameh Tabatabaii believes that the appropriate perception is to accept the miracles as extraordinary events beyond scientific rules. He has also focused on the philosophical and rational interpretation of those extraordinary events that seems to be more logical in his view. The subject of the present study is the comparative study of “raising the mountain” and “metamorphosis of Bani Isra’il” as two extraordinary events in the Qur’an and the validation of the evidences for them.
