It is very dangerous for humanity to deliberately misinterpret and misrepresent the message of the quran because the quran itself carries many warnings in it. The context of the message of the quran is very simple in this regard ie make proper sense of the message of the quran and follow it faithfully and you are guaranteed blissful, dignified and secure existence in this liofe as well as in here after as a proper human community. Avoid it, ignore it, misinterpret it or misrepresent it then you the mankind are in such a big trouble that you cannot even imagine.
As I have explained already in detail how the quran should be understood, it also seems necessary to explain why the quran should not be understood through sources of lesser importance than the quran itself.
Scientific way of understanding the quran is requirement of the quran itself. It is because the first source of information for humanity is its life experiences based upon its God given brains, senses and other provisions without which human beings cannot know a thing let alone understand the message of God. This is an undeniable and unchallengeable fact that human beings cannot know what logic is what consistency is unless they first understand things in the real world.
This being the case the quranic interpretation therefore has to be based upon facts and not fictions since nothing is as authentic as facts before our senses and our logically consistent interpretation of facts therefore interpreting the quran independent of fact is just turning the quran into a fiction. This is why the quran must not be interpreted wrong way round or the quran will not make sense no matter how hard we try make sense of it that way. Failing to make sense of the text of the quran has not just serious but fatal consequences let alone it landing us human beings in blissful, dignified and secure existence.
The other main reason for not interpreting the quran the wrong way nor accepting its interpretations based on wrong way is that such interpretations by muslims provide nonmuslims with reasons to criticise the quran so instead of people accepting the message of the quran ignore it and ridicule it. Not only that but even educated muslims themselves become doubtful about claims in the quran and therefore start doubting the message of the quran thinking it is just a made up stuff and therefore a waste of time to try to live the way it tells as explained by molvies who are ignorant of actual facts about the real world realities.
A most important question for muslims to consider is, how do nonmuslims look at the quran and messenger of deen of islam if we look at the quran through hadis for example?
Their argument in that case is very simple that if the messenger of Allah understood the quran the way his mindset, attitude and behaviour is depicted in the hadis reports then that is exactly what he was told to carry out by the quran and because a lot of stuff in hadis books is questionable therefore the character of prophet and authenticity of the quran also becomes questionable. It is because then authenticity of the quran becomes dependent upon hadis works which are human works in their origin.
So it is time that molvies and their followers start realising what they are actually doing when they try to push the idea of interpretation of the quran through hadis or questionable historical accounts.
This is why muslims must accept the understanding of the quran through facts and not fictitious stories as basis for proper understanding of the quranic message. If we accept facts as basis for the interpretation of the message of the quran then there is nothing wrong with accepting hadis reports or
historical accounts that do not contradict facts otherwise we have no choice but to reject them as fictional.
People who do not accept quranic message based on facts cannot convince nonmuslims for the truth of the message of the quran ever. This is why mullahs never enter open and decisive debates with nonmuslims because they already know they have no solid grounds to stand upon which clearly distinguishes the quran as the unique scripture in the world. If we want worldwide ummah then we need to establish a solid ground for ourselves before we can take message of the quran to the rest of the world in an effective way that can produce results that really matter because solid ground has to be solid enough that when it is put to the test it proves its worth by standing to reason or logical consistency.
Unless we do all this we stand to lose educated people to nonmuslim world as education takes roots in our muslim states while gaining back mainly only emotionally disturbed people who are looking for support instead of bringing us support because they cannot due to being emotional wrecks already themselves. It is because nonmuslim way of life only suits people who can compete in their societies effectively and that means people who have strength to do that. So we are bound to become more and more collection of rejects than an ummah that is strong enough to face the ruthless nonmuslim world head on with logical consistency.
We who claim to be muslims therefore need to become like sir syed, farahi, iqbal, jinnah and parwez than stay ignorant fools unable to express strength of our deen of islam effectively. This is why my work on the quran must be taken seriously by those who have concern of ummah at heart as well as of wider human population.
So long as we do not interpret the message of the quran properly and help others understand its message properly, animosity between human beings will remain intact and all sorts of wars will continue and grow in intensity between muslims and nonmuslims as well as among muslims themselves.
It is because the very ground that can unite muslims and nonmuslims is also the only ground that can bring unity among muslims as well. So it is up to ourselves whether we want our world for our future generations to be a world Allah wants us to struggle for or the opposite.
This is why we can bring about a united, peaceful, progressive and prosperous world by being a proper human community based upon guidance of Allah or a world that is much more dangerous than the one we ourselves inherited from our ancestors.
