Abstract: (480 Views) |
| Allah's help, which is reported in the Qur'an in the form of unusual affairs, is today considered one of the most serious issues that can somehow mix religious beliefs in this field with doubts. The story of Prophet Moses praying for water is reported in both the Quran and the Torah; however, in the quality of its occurrence, different perceptions have been presented among Islamic scholars, which have their roots in the relationship between science and religion, the role of reason in understanding unusual matters, the place of interpretive hadiths, and the relationship between unusual matters and the system of divine traditions in the opinion of the commentator. In the current research, which is library and documentary in extraction method and is mixed with criticism in comparative-analytical processing, after categorizing, examining and analyzing the viewpoints of Islamic commentators and scholars, the effective bases in the difference of viewpoints have been discussed. The results of the research indicate that because this event was outside the field of science, it is not logically impossible; a brief knowledge is obtained from explanatory narrations about it and does not contradict the divine traditions; the view of accepting the appearance of verses based on divine power is preferred. |
