MIRACLES OF THE QUR’ANMIRACLES OF THE QUR’AN

SCIENTIFIC MIRACLES OF THE QUR’AN – IISCIENTIFIC MIRACLES OF THE QUR’AN – II

A Divine scripture was sent down to humanity 14 centuries ago; this sacred bookis the Qur’an.

From the day of its revelation to the Day of Judgment, it will remain as thelast and sole guide for humanity.

There are countless proofs that the Qur’an is the word of God.

In the first film, scientific miracles of the Qur’an were examined and shownas proof.

In this film, we shall continue to look at these scientific miracles that prove

that the Qur’an is the revelation of God.

We shall see that a great many scientific facts we have only recently beenable to establish using modern-day technology, from the layers of the Earth tocontinental drift, and from the gender of a baby to atomic sub-particles, wererevealed in our Book fourteen centuries ago.

THE SEPARATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTHTHE SEPARATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

The Big Bang theory, which the scientific world unanimously accepted inthe 20th century, proves that the universe came into being with a giant explosion.

One verse of the Qur’an that revealed this fact fourteen hundred years agoreads:

Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the Earth were sewn

together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water

every living thing? So will they not believe? (Surat al-Anbiya’: 30)

The word "ratq" translated as "sewn together" means "mixed in each, blended" in the Arabic vernacular.

The phrase, "We unstitched," is the verb "fataqa" and in Arabic, it impliesthe tearing apart of a structure of things that are sewn to one another.

A very important scientific fact is being described here:

“The separation of the heavens and the Earth!”

2/21

Intriguingly, at the first moments of the Big Bang, the entire matter of theuniverse collected at one single point.

“The heavens and earth," which were not created yet, were within thissingle point. Then, this point exploded violently, causing its matter to disunite.

This is just as is described in the verse.People fourteen centuries ago, of course, possessed no scientific knowledge

or technology by which to know that the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the stars andeverything they saw or that which was invisible in the skies had initially beenunited in a single point.

THE WELL-GUARDED SKYTHE WELL-GUARDED SKY

In the Qur'an, God calls our attention to a very important attribute of the

sky:

We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away

from Our signs. (Surat al-Anbiya’: 32)

The protective nature of the sky revealed in the Qur’an was only discoveredin our own time.

The atmosphere surrounding the Earth protects us from lethal dangers.

While destroying many meteors – big and small – as they approach theEarth, it prevents them from falling to Earth and harming life.

It filters the light rays coming from space that are harmful to living things.

It also protects the Earth from the freezing cold of the space, which isapproximately minus 270 degrees Celsius, or minus 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

In addition to the atmosphere, there is another layer, caused by themagnetic field of the Earth, which serves as a shield against the harmful radiationthat threatens our planet:

The Van Allen Belts!

Thanks to the Van Allen belts, the massive outbursts of energy called solarflares that frequently occur in the Sun do not destroy life on Earth.

In short, a perfect system is at work high above the Earth. It surrounds ourworld and protects it against external threats.

Strikingly, this was revealed fourteen hundred years ago in the Qur’an.

Another verse imparting the same information reads:

2


3/21

It is He Who made the Earth a couch for you, and the sky a dome... (Surat

al-Baqara: 22)

Here, the sky is described as"al-samaa' binaa'" in Arabic.

As well as the meaning of "dome" or "ceiling," this word has another

meaning;

it also describes a kind of tent-like covering used by the Arab Bedouin.

By describing the sky as a tent-like structure, the Qur'an is emphasizing thatit is a form of protection against external elements.

This is the protection the atmosphere affords against meteors and cosmicrays.

All these facts show that this information obtained by humanity as theresult of lengthy scientific research was imparted fourteen hundred years ago inthe Qur’an, when there were no spacecrafts or giant telescopes.

THE LAYERS OF THE EARTHTHE LAYERS OF THE EARTH

The Earth consists of seven strata.

The first layer is the hydrosphere, which embodies all the waters on theearth’s surface.

The second layer, the lithosphere, is a hard stratum forming the Earth's top

layer. Its average thickness is 80 kilometers. It is colder and harder than the otherstrata, and, therefore, forms the Earth's shell.

The third layer is the asthenosphere. It is formed of hot, semi-solid meltablesubstances.

The fourth and fifth layers, the upper mantle and the lower mantlerespectively, form a high-temperature region some 2,900 km thick, made up ofsemi-solid rocks.

The Earth's core consists of two parts. One is the 2,200 km thick liquid outer

core, the other a 1,250 km thick solid inner core, the sixth and the seventh layersrespectively.

The fact that the Earth is made up of such strata was only known as theresult of lengthy research using 20th-century technology.

Yet, God imparted this information to us in the Qur’an, which He imbuedwith many scientific miracles, fourteen centuries ago:

3


4/21

It is God Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the same

number, the command descending down through all of them, so that you

might know that God has power over all things and that God

encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq: 12)

THE MOVING MOUNTAINSTHE MOVING MOUNTAINS

It was at the beginning of the 20th century when a German scientist, AlfredWegener, proposed that the continents of the Earth had been attached togetherwhen it first formed, but then drifted in different directions, and thus separatedas they moved away from each other.

This theory of Wegener’s was proved in the 1980s.

It was found that the six major plates, and several small ones, which form

the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, were in constant motion.

According to the theory called plate tectonics, these plates move about onEarth, carrying continents and the ocean floor with them.

This motion has been measured at 1 to 5 cm per year.

Consequently, this produces a slow change in Earth's geography.

Each year, for instance, the Atlantic Ocean becomes slightly wider.

Science discovered this only recently.

The fact that it was revealed 14 centuries ago in the Qur’an is, withoutdoubt, another of the Book’s many miracles.

You see the mountains you reckoned to be solid going past like clouds...

(Surat an-Naml: 88)

God referred to the motion of mountains in the verse of the Qur'an.

Today, scientists use the term "continental drift" for this motion.

It is, without doubt, a great miracle that this scientific fact should have beenrevealed in the 7th century, when conceptions of the nature of the universe were

based on superstition and myth.

This is another very important proof that the Qur'an is the word of God.

LAND LOSS AT THE EXTREMITIESLAND LOSS AT THE EXTREMITIES

The outer layer of the Earth’s atmosphere consists of a great many gases,particularly oxygen. However, energy explosions on the Sun cause some of thesegases to disperse into space.

Researchers have obtained its first concrete evidence thanks to the NASAspacecraft.

It was first observed that the Earth experiences a loss of matter from itsouter layers on September 24-25, 1998.

In other words, this occurred 14 centuries after this information wasimparted in the Qur’an.

Don't they see how We come to the land eroding it at its extremities?...

(Surat ar-Ra‘d: 41)

... Don't they see how We come to the land eroding it from its

extremities?... (Surat al-Anbiya’: 44)

These verses may also be referring to the loss of land on Earth in anotherregard.

At the present time, the polar ice caps are melting and the water level in theoceans is rising.

As coastal areas come under water, the land surface or total amount of landis decreasing.

The expression "eroding it from its extremities" in the verses may well bepointing to coastal areas being covered by water.

God knows best!

DUALITY IN CREATIONDUALITY IN CREATION

The British physicist Paul Dirac, who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in1933, made a most important discovery.

This finding, known as "parity," revealed the duality known as matter andanti-matter.

Anti-matter bears the opposite characteristics to matter. For instance,contrary to matter, anti-matter electrons have a positive charge while protonshave a negative electric charge.

5


6/21

Nobody was aware of this scientific fact when the Qur’an was revealedfourteen hundred years ago. Yet, it was clearly revealed in verses that everythingin the universe has been created in pairs. A verse in the Qur’an shows this asfollows:

Glory be to Him Who created all the pairs: from what the earth producesand from themselves and from things unknown to them. (Surah Ya Sin:

36)

SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLESSUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES

Up until twenty years ago, it was believed that the smallest particles werethe protons and neutrons that comprise the atom. However, advances in scienceand technology disproved this.

It was realized that the atom, regarded as the smallest unit of matter, could be divided into even smaller sub-components!

A specialized branch of physics emerged to study these "sub-particles" andtheir particular behavior:

Particle physics.

Particle physics research has revealed that the protons and the neutrons thatcomprise the atoms actually consist of sub-particles known as “quarks.”

This fact only emerged in the last century, but it was revealed in the Qur'an:

... He is the Knower of the Unseen, Whom not an atom's weight eludes,

either in the heavens or in the earth; nor is there anything smaller or

larger than that which is not in a Clear Book. (Surah Saba’: 3)

In another verse, God tells us that:

... Not even an atom's weight eludes your Lord, either on Earth or in

heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in

a Clear Book. (Surah Yunus: 61)

This verse refers to "atom" and smaller particles still! The fact that there areeven smaller sub-units was imparted to humanity in the Qur’an fourteencenturies ago.

BLACK HOLESBLACK HOLES

The 20th century saw a great many new discoveries regarding celestialphenomena in the universe.

One of these is the Black Hole.

When a star has consumed all its fuel, it collapses in on itself, eventuallyturning into a region with infinite density and zero volume and an immenselypowerful magnetic field.

This is called a black hole.

We are unable to see black holes, even with the most powerful telescope, because their gravitational pull is so strong that even light is unable to escapefrom them.

Their presence, however, can be perceived by means of the magnetic effectthey have on the surrounding area.

In the Qur’an, God draws attention to this matter in this way, by swearingupon the position of stars:

And I swear by the stars' positions – and that is a mighty oath if you only

knew. (Surat al-Waqi‘a: 75-76)

All stars with large masses set up gravitational fields in space. A black holeconstantly increases its density, and thus gravitational attraction, by drawingeverything around it or that passes by it into itself. In this sense, it resembles ahole in space into which everything around it is pulled.

That is why they are known as black holes.

This information about stars in the Qur’an is also remarkable:

[I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq! And what will convey to you what the

Tariq is? The Star Piercing [the darkness]! (Surat at-Tariq: 1-3)

COMBUSTION WITHOUT FIRECOMBUSTION WITHOUT FIRE

Electricity…

It is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of the world.

It lights almost the entire world by means of bulbs.

In fact, this great discovery was noted in verses of the Qur’an fourteencenturies ago:

7


8/21

God is the light of the heavens and the Earth. The metaphor of His Light

is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like

a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of

the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light

upon light. God guides to His Light whoever He wills and God makes

metaphors for mankind and God has knowledge of all things. (Surat an-

Nur: 35)

This verse refers to something that emits light. It appears that this bodymiraculously refers to the light bulbs used almost everywhere on Earth in thepresent day.

A bulb is a body which shines like a star and emits light, inside glass, andthat is in full conformity with the description in the verse.

The fact that the fuel used by this light-emitting body belongs to neitherEast nor West may be an indication that it has no physical dimensions. Electricity,the fuel of the light bulb, indeed is not in material dimension, but in an energydimension.

Unlike oil lamps and gas lamps, light bulbs burn without fire, in line withthe description supplied in the verse.

In light of all this information, it may be inferred that this verse is referringto the light bulb, a most important invention.

God knows best!

WINDS THAT FECUNDATEWINDS THAT FECUNDATE

In one verse of the Qur'an, the "fecundating" characteristic of the winds, andthe resulting formation of rain are mentioned:

And We send the fecundating winds, then cause water to descend from

the sky, therewith providing you with water in abundance... (Surat al-

Hijr: 22)

This fact set out in the Qur’an was definitely unknown until the beginningof the 20th century.

Until then, the only relationship known between the wind and the rain wasthat it was the wind that drove the clouds.

However, today’s meteorological findings have demonstrated the"fecundating" role of the wind in the formation of rain.

8


9/21

According to these findings, on the surface of oceans and seas, a largenumber of air bubbles form because of the water's foaming action. The momentthese bubbles burst, thousands of tiny particles, with a diameter of just onehundredth of a millimeter, are thrown up into the air.

These particles, known as "aerosols," mix with dust carried from the land bythe wind, and are carried to the upper layers of the atmosphere.

These particles carried to higher altitudes by winds come into contact withwater vapor up there.

Water vapor condenses around these particles and turns into waterdroplets.

These water droplets first come together and form clouds, and then fall tothe Earth in the form of rain.

In short, the formation of rain comes when winds "fecundate" the cloudswith the aerosols; in just the same way it was revealed in the Qur’an, at a timewhen people knew next to nothing about natural phenomena.

THE REGION RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR MOVEMENTSTHE REGION RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR MOVEMENTS

Research carried out in recent years has revealed that the prefrontal area,lying in the frontal part of the skull, is responsible for the management ofparticular functions of the brain. This area of the cerebrum is also responsible for

planning, motivation, and initiating good and evil behavior, and, it is responsiblefor telling lies and the truth.

A book entitledEssentials of Anatomy and Physiologysays:

In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be

the functional center for aggression... (Seeley, Stephens, and Tate, Essentials of

Anatomy & Physiology, p. 211)

Parallel information to these scientific facts discovered by scientists in thelast sixty years was also imparted in the Qur’an fourteen centuries ago:

No indeed! If he does not stop, We will grab him by the forelock, a lying,

sinful forelock. (Surat al-‘Alaq: 15-16)

The expression "the lying, sinful forelock" in this verse is most remarkable.This demonstrates a close parallel to the activities carried out in the front part ofthe brain.

THE GENDER OF THE CHILDTHE GENDER OF THE CHILD

What determines the gender of an unborn child?

According to the Qur’an, the answer lies in its father. Masculinity orfemininity is created out of "a drop of semen which has been ejected." Gender is

determined by the sperm cells from the male, and that the female has no role inthis process. The verses that tell us this read:

He has created both sexes, male and female from a drop of semen which

has been ejected. (Surat an-Najm: 45-46)

Wasn't he a drop of ejaculated sperm, then an embryo which He created

and shaped, making from it both sexes, male and female? (Surat al-

Qiyama: 37-39)

The developing disciplines of genetics and molecular biology have

scientifically validated the accuracy of this information given in the Qur'an. A baby's gender is determined by which chromosome, X or Y, from the male uniteswith the female's ovum.

None of this was known until the discovery of genes in the 20th century.Indeed, in many cultures, it was believed that the female determined the genderof a baby. This is one reason why women were blamed when they gave birth togirls.

Fourteen centuries before human genes were discovered, however, the

Qur'an revealed information that denies this superstition, and referred to theorigin of gender lying not with women, but with the semen deriving from men.

That is because the Qur’an is the word of God.

THE ALAQ CLINGING TO THE UTERUSTHE ALAQ CLINGING TO THE UTERUS

When the sperm of the male unites with the ovum of the female, theessence of the baby to be born is formed.

This single cell is known as a "zygote."

It will instantly begin reproducing by dividing, and eventually become a"piece of flesh," called an embryo. The embryo, however, does not spend itsdevelopmental period in a void. It clings to the uterus, similar to roots that arefirmly fixed to the earth by its tendrils.

Through this bond, it can obtain the substances essential to its developmentfrom the mother's body.

10


11/21

Here, an important miracle of the Qur'an is revealed.

While referring to the embryo developing in the mother's womb, God usesthe word "alaq":

Recite: In the name of your Lord Who created man from alaq. Recite: And

your Lord is the Most Generous. (Surat al-Alaq: 1-3)

The meaning of the word "alaq" in Arabic is "a thing that clings to someplace."

Certainly, the use of such a specific word for the embryo developing in themother's womb proves, once again, that the Qur'an is the word of God, the Lordof all the worlds.

THE WRAPPING OF MUSCLES OVER THE BONESTHE WRAPPING OF MUSCLES OVER THE BONES

Another important item of information provided in the verses of the Qur'anis the developmental stages of a human being in the mother's womb.

[We] then formed the drop into an embryo and formed the embryo into a

lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and

then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be God, the

Best of Creators! (Surat al-Muminun: 14)

It is clearly stated in these verses that in the mother's womb, the bonesdevelop first, and then the muscles form which wrap around them.

Until very recently, embryologists assumed that the bones and muscles inan embryo developed at the same time.

Yet, research conducted by virtue of new technological developments hasyielded such accurate conclusions.

These researched findings are just as it is described in the Qur’an.

First, the cartilage tissue of the embryo ossifies. Then, muscular cells thatare selected from amongst the tissue around the bones come together and wrap

around the bones.This event is described in a scientific publication titledDeveloping Humanin

the following words:

... [T]he shape of the skeleton determines the general appearance of the embryo in

the bones stage during the 7th week; muscles do not develop at the same time but

their development follows soon after. The muscles take their positions around the

11


12/21

bones throughout the body and therefore clothe the bones. Thus, the muscles take

their well known forms and structures... The stage of clothing with muscle occurs

during the 8th week... (Keith L. Moore, Developing Human, 3rd ed., p. 364a)

In short, developmental stages of man, as described in the Qur'an, are in

perfect harmony with the findings of modern embryology.Emeritus Professor Keith Moore, of the Department of Anatomy and Cell

Biology at the University of Toronto, is one of the eminent embryologists in theworld; he is one of those scholars who have identified this miracle in the Qur’an.Professor Moore examined the verses concerning human birth and announcedhis conclusions in these words:

It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'an about

human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to

[Prophet] Muhammad [saas] from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge

was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that [Prophet]

Muhammad [saas] must have been a messenger of God, or Allah. (Video tape

entitled “This is the Truth”; www.islamic-

awareness.org/Quran/Science/scientists.html)

THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT IN SLEEPTHE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT IN SLEEP

People who remain lying down in the same position for a long period of timeencounter serious health problems.

Due to the constant pressure on one part of the body when one is notmoving for a long period of time, the blood vessels become constricted and canclose altogether. As a result, the oxygen and other nutrients carried by the bloodfail to reach the skin, and the skin begins to die. This leads to the appearance ofsores on the body.

These sores are known as "bed sores" or "pressure sores."

These sores, which form under the skin or tissue, can assume seriousdimensions unless treated.

If they become infected, they can even lead to death.

The healthiest thing to do, therefore, is to frequently change the position ofthe body in order to reduce this pressure.

Patients who cannot move themselves therefore receive special care and aremoved every two hours by others.

12


13/21

The importance of movement during sleep was only realized in the 20th

century.

Yet, information pointing to this importance was also set out in the Qur’an,the word of God.

You would have supposed them to be awake, whereas in fact they were

asleep. We moved them to the right and to the left... (Surat al-Kahf: 18)

This verse refers to the Companions of the Cave, who remained asleep forhundreds of years. In addition, God also reveals that He moved their bodies tothe left and right while they were asleep. The fact that these medical factsdiscovered in our own century were also noted in the Qur’an is without doubtanother of its miracles.

THE QUR’AN IS GOD’S REVELATIONTHE QUR’AN IS GOD’S REVELATION

All that we have seen in the “Scientific Miracles of the Qur’an” films showsus one clear fact: The Qur’an is such a book that all the information it containshas been and is being found to be true. Facts about scientific subjects, facts thatno one could have known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, are announced inits verses. It is impossible for such information to have been known with the levelof knowledge and technology available in 7th-century Arabia. This, of course, ismanifest proof that the Qur’an cannot be the word of man.

In the Qur'an, God tells us the following:This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides God. Rather it

is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book

which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. Do they say, "He

has invented it"? Say: "Then produce a sura like it and call on anyone you

can besides God if you are telling the truth." (Surah Yunus: 37-38)

It is clear to me that these statements must havecome to [Prophet] Muhammad [saas] from God, or Allah, because most ofthis knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This provesto me that [Prophet] Muhammad [saas] must have been a messenger ofGod, or Allah. (Video tape entitled “This is the Truth”; www.islamic-

The Qur’an Is God’s Revelation

40.18-40.54

This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides God. Rather it

is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book

which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. Do they say, "He

has invented it"? Say: "Then produce a sura like it and call on anyone youcan besides God if you are telling the truth." (Surah Yunus: 37-38)
