One of the process requirements in the translation of the meaning of Quran is that it must be done by a committee consisting of experts in the field of knowledge related to the Quran such as Arabic language, the target language, the interpretation of Quran and other disciplines such as history, geography, chemistry, biology, medicine and others. It is obvious that Quran is not merely discussing the question of law, but also contains elements of various fields. Kawniyyat verses (verses related to creation) are the Quranic verses which have been typically discussed on the issue of the translation of the meaning of Quran. This is because kawniyyat verses indirectly contain elements of science that require the expertise of those involved in the field to provide the exact meaning so that the translations are done in line with the facts of modern science. The objective of this study was to evaluate the meaning of the translation of kawniyyat verses in The Meaning of the Holy Quran by Abdullah Yusuf Ali based on the facts of contemporary science to find out the compatibility between them. In this article, the analysis of the translation of meaning of the verses of Holy Qur'an utilised science-oriented exegesis (tafsir 'ilmi) to determine whether the translation of meaning matches the modern science facts. The suitable meaning of the verse translation will be proposed then. The result showed some additional values in the translation of meaning of the word 'alaqah in the verse 14 of Sura Al-Mu'minun which is translated into "blood layer/clot", while the more accurate meaning should be "blood layer that characterizes a leech" and the word al-nahl in the verse 68 of Sura Al-Nahl which is translated into "Bee", while the more accurate meaning should be "female bees".

Significant efforts are made to revive scientific thinking,to require coordination through the application of the holistic elements of al-Qur’ān's scientific thinking. Therefore, methods in the scientific research of the Qur’ān were adapted according to the times and the development of civilizations. Hence, the current  scientific study of the Qur’ān focused on the historiography to see its overall development. This study  discussed the concept of scientific thought of the Qur’ān and its importance to the I‘jāz of the Qur’ān. Additionaly, the scholars’ position in emphasizing the scientific study of the Qur’ān was also presented in this research. Moreover, the adopted method of analysis was library research, which examined the relevant written research materials. The analysis illustrated that the Qur’ānic scientific methodology included divine science based on the I‘jāz al-Ilāhī, social science based on the I‘jāz al-Tashrī‘ī,and natural science based on the I‘jāz al-‘Ilmī and the development history offered comparisons of thoughts, which emerged during the Islamic civilization. Such Qur’ānic scientific methodology has led/conducted  a deeper understanding of the Qur’ān and brought its study/interpretations to the public. Thus, this study is significant for exhibiting the importance of deepening the conceptual connection developed in the Qur’ānic scientific study with its historical development. This is to enable the application of epistemological thinking through scientific thinking in fulfilling human needs and the universal universe carefully and harmoniously.
