“It was in a totally objective spirit, and without any preconceived ideas, that I first examined the Qur’anic Revelation. I wanted to study the degree of compatibility between the Qur’anic text and the data of modern science…. It was only when I examined the text very closely in Arabic that I could record a list of them (such compatibilities), at the end of which I came to understand that the Qur’an did not contain a single statement that contradicted any modern scientific point of view.”
