<![CDATA[This article examines how modern cosmology can inform the interpretation of selected Qur’anic creation passages without reducing revelation to a repository of scientific predictions. Using qualitative library research, the study integrates lexical-semantic analysis, diachronic comparison of purposively selected classical and modern tafsīr, and epistemological evaluation of mainstream cosmology. It examines Q. 21:30, Q. 41:11–12, Q. 51:47, and verses on creation in six ayyām. Ratq–fatq, dukhān, mūsiʿūn, and sittati ayyām permit scientifically informed readings, but none supplies a technical formulation of the Big Bang, primordial plasma, metric expansion, or six fixed cosmological epochs. Modern science can expand an interpretive horizon while remaining distinct from lexical meaning, historical exegesis, and theological function. The study is limited to four cosmological clusters and a selective exegetical corpus. LEMSE requires independent testing across other scientific themes, interpretive traditions, and scholarly users before stronger claims of general validity can be made. The primary contribution is LEMSE as an analytical-evaluative framework that sequences four interpretive layers, classifies claim types, and applies explicit decision and stopping rules. Epistemic resonance is proposed as one possible outcome when textual, historical, and scientific warrants converge without collapsing scripture into scientific prediction.]]>
