Quranic inerrancy is a doctrine central to the Muslim faith that the Quran is the infallible and inerrant word of God as revealed to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel in the 7th century CE.[1][2]
Modernist approach[]
Influenced by Al-Afghani's modernist interpretations one Muhammad Abduh, a Mufti of Egypt revisited then contemporary Islamic thought with his ijtihad post 1899AD in his tafsir al Manar, expressed that, wherever Quran seemed contradictory and irrational to logic and science , must be understood as reflecting the Arab vision of the world, as written with available 7th century intellectual level of Arabs; all verses referring to superstitions like witchcraft and evil eye be explained as expressions of then Arab beliefs; and miraculous events and deeds in Quran be rationally explained just as metaphors or allegories.[3]
