In his speech, the scholar elaborated on the role of Imam Sajjad (AS) and Imam Baqer (AS) in making the Quran the foundation of creation and growth of Islamic sciences.
He also said some branches of science like Tajweed, Qara’a (recitation), and Tafseer (interpretation) directly developed to better understand or recite the Quran.
There were other sciences that the Holy Quran’s teachings and concepts helped to grow, including theology, which was developed to defend the Quran’s very important message, namely monotheism, he added.
