Though some verses indicate the comprehensiveness of the Quran, some people take these verses as the evidence of the comprehensiveness of the Quran for everything. The apparent use of the verses and lack of understanding of them have led some to justify the divine purposes in these verses. This has led to several conflicts among some of Islamic scholars pertaining to the Quranic subjects. Some scientists have generalized the comprehensiveness of the verses to all sciences, while others have restricted the comprehensiveness of the verses to the religious and theological issues. Seemingly, theses verses not only cannot explain all sciences, but also many religious affairs like some details of injunctions of Islam. The term “comprehensiveness of the Quran” is not in old books of Muslim, but the issue of "expanding the realm of the Quran" has been considered by Islamic scholars. Verse 89 of Nahl sura, verse 111 of Yusuf sura, verse 38 of Anaam sura, and similar verses refer to the comprehensiveness of the Quran in matters that lead to human perfection and happiness. Teaching sciences and different types of knowledge are not part of the mission of the Holy Quran. The meaning of the term "all things" in the above verses, according to the evidence and the context of the verses, is the general principles of religious affairs. Hence, the Quran as the constitution of the religion has stated the general principles of the religion, and the explanations of the details and exceptions were Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh)’s responsibility.
