The Holy Quran is the greatest miracle of
The Honourable Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
القران الكريم هو اعظم معجزات الرسول الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم
الرسول الكريم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم هو اكثر الانبياء من حيث عدد المعجزات التي ايده الله عز وجل بها.
فقد ذكر ابن القيم بان عدد معجزات الرسول الكريم ص يزيد عن الف معجزة، اما الامام النووي فقد ذكر بان عدد معجزات الرسول الكريم ص هو الف ومائتين معجزة.
واعظم معجزات الرسول الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم هي معجزة القرأن الكريم العظيم وهو كلمات الله المقدسة والمباركة واخر الرسالات السماوية التي انزلها الله تبارك وتعالى الي جميع الامم والشعوب على الارض
The Holy Quran is the greatest miracle of The Honourable Prophet Muhammad ( The final
Messenger of ALLAH SWT ) Peace and Blessing of ALLAH SWT be upon him .
It is very logical to ask :
( How and why is the Holy Quran considered a great miracle ? )
Shown below are 16 reasons that show why the Holy Quran is considered a great and a unique miracle :
The Qur'an severally challenges its critics that it is not composed by any human but is the word of God, the Glorified, and Exalted. This challenge is first given in the following verses: "Or do they say , 'He fabricated the Message'? Nay, they have no faith! Let them then produce a recital like unto it -If it be they speak the Truth" (Al Tur 52:33-34).
This challenge is given not only to deniers at the time of its
revelation, but is addressed for all times to those who deny its divine
origins. It was repeated three more times in Mecca and for the last time in
Medina (for this see Yunus
10:37; Hud 11:13; Bani
Israel 17:88; Al
Baqarah 2:23). And the fact is that no one could respond to it either at that
time or ever since.
Some critics respond that this applies not only to the Qur'an but to all great literature, for example, that of Homer, Shakespeare, Goethe, Iqbal - in that they are all unique in their style, and therefore irreproducible. But they are mistaken in that the actual challenge is to produce not only in the Arabic but in any language anywhere in the world a book that possesses the unique characteristics of Qur'an, which make it a great miracle. Some of these unique characteristics are discussed in this chapter.
Qur'an's Unique Miraculous Features :
[1] The language in which Qur'an is revealed presents its highest and most perfect form of Arabic literature.
Its every word and sentence meets the best of criteria devised, and
so does its subject matter. To emphasize a certain idea, for example, it
repeats the same subject matter a number of times, yet this description comes
afresh each time. From the first sentence to last, its words are knit
harmoniously and beautifully together. And its message is so effective that a
listener - even an opponent, cannot help but get enamored by the very sound of
its words.
Muhammad M. Pickthall, an English Muslim translator of Qur'an,
describes this phenomenon in these words: "... the Glorious Qur'an, that
inimitable symphony, the very sounds of which move men to tears and ecstasy."
More than 1,400 years have passed since its revelation, yet Qur'an is the best specimen of its language, and no other book comes close to it - it serves as the ultimate literary criterion for the Arabic language. While most languages have either vanished or greatly metamorphosed over such a long period, it is only the Qur'an that has kept Arabic as a living progressive language. None of its words have become obsolete and its every idiom is very much in use today. Rather, it serves as the best of literary examples, and is quoted often to make a valid point or to stress it authoritatively.
[2] The Holy Quran contains guidelines and teachings,
for both individuals and society as a whole.
The Holy Quran deals with
all subjects which concern human beings, such as doctrine, wisdom, worship,
law, transactions, proper human conduct, instructions to regulate a fair
economic system, social system ,political system , ethics and moral behavior,
business, government , and more.
Breifly speaking : The Holy Quran contains guidelines and teachings, for both individuals and society as a whole (in all aspects of human life ) , and these guidelines and teachings finally leads to perfect life , prosperity , and happiness of all peaple in this present life and most importantly leads to happiness in the everlasting life in hereafter )
[3] The Holy Quran is a miracle, as it contains hundreds of scientific facts later confirmed to be accurate, years after the Book was revealed.
The Holy Quran is a miracle, as it contains hundreds of scientific facts later confirmed to be accurate, years after the Book was revealed. The Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him in the 7th century; an illiterate man living in the desert at a time when there were no telescopes, microscopes, or anything resembling the symbols of advanced technology that we have today. The Holy Quran holds a certain brand of advanced, even prophetic knowledge that was unknown to humankind at the time.
[ see the list of scientific fact mentioned in Holy Quran , that later and very recently were confirmed to be accurate ]
[4] The Holy Quan is a miracle that could have come
only from God, this fact owing to the Prophecies mentioned in the Holy Book
that have since come true.
Amongst the other accurate futuristic predictions made in the Holy
Quran is the victory of the Byzantine Empire. In the early 7th century, the two
great empires ruling at the time were the Byzantine and Persian empires. During
the war, the Byzantines suffered a severe defeat in their war against the
Persians. The Holy Quran states that while the Byzantines did indeed experience
an initial defeat, they soon would enjoy an exalted victory that no one could
have predicted. The Byzantines had experienced a crushing defeat that seemed at
the time to have doomed the Empire — but their fate was destined to change. God
the Almighty states:
“The Byzantines have been defeated. In the nearest land. But they,
after their defeat, will overcome. Within three to nine years. To Allah belongs
the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice. In the
victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in
Might, the Merciful.” (Quran 30–2–5)
Not only did this prediction come to fruition, but this Verse referenced the fact that — in geographic terms — the Romans were defeated ‘in the lowest land.’ We later came to find out via satellite images that the location of their defeat is literally the lowest point on the face of the Earth. This vicinity boasted the lowest altitude on Earth, 400 meters below sea level.
[5] The Holy Quran also tells many stories of past
nations and past prophets such as Prophet Jesus, Moses, and Joseph peace be
upon them all.
Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him lived in the middle of the desert with no libraries, this owing to the
fact that the Arabic Peninsula was a backward, antiquated nation at the time.
He had no way of reading or conjuring these stories shared in the Holy Quan.
“That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O
Muhammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this. So be
patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous” (Quran 11:49)
The Pharaoh that lived in the time of Prophet Moses had power and
wealth, and even arrogantly proclaimed himself to be God. He eventually
drowned, his fate a direct punishment for his arrogance. God stated in a Verse
that he preserved the Pharaoh’s body as a sign for those who came afterward. In
the early 70s, his corpse was examined; the discovery made through the
investigation of his mummy that he died from the infiltration of water into his
lung — thus providing conclusive proof of his drowning death. It also was
proven that he lived at the time of Prophet Moses peace be upon him. God
preserved his body forever as a sign and lesson for humanity, and now his body
tours the world for everyone to see.
“So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who
succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are
heedless” (Quran 10:92)
Reading the Holy Quran , you will see tens of stories about past nations and about past prophets .
[6] The Holy Qur'an is the only book that has had and still carries an unparalleled effect on human thought, ethics, morality, civilization, and mode of living.
It first affected a group of people and as they rose built a polity
and affected others, brought them uniquely together into an Ummah- and set a
golden era in the history of humankind. No other book has rendered a comparable
revolution. Thus the Qur'an did not just advance a unique theory, but its every
word was actually put into practice by changing the mode of thinking of people
that created a lasting world civilization.
Its revolutionary appeal initiated some 1,400 years ago has
continued over centuries - now appearing in Arab awakening and to continue
across the Muslim world. And spilling over into Europe and Americas, and into
the unforeseen futures to come.
[7] Qur'an's subject matter is vast and
comprehensive - encompassing the entirety of existence from initial stages into
its future.
It discusses the reality of universe, its beginning and end, its
make-up and its organization. It tells us who is its Creator, its Organizer,
and its Lord? What are His attributes? And what is the basis on which He has
organized the entire worldly system? It enunciates the position of man in this
world, and delineates his rightful position in it - a position which is beyond
human capacity to modify. It delineates the correct human conduct to accord
with his rightful position, and what would violate that position. And it
presents evidence in support - from all aspects of the universe, from a human's
own nature and from his history. Alongside this, it tells why and for what
reasons people have stumbled into wrongful ways. And what sources they could
use to correct themselves and live righteously.
In fact, the Qur'an charts out a comprehensive scheme of life that
encompasses beliefs, ethics and morality, acts of worships, culture,
civilization, economics, politics, law and all other areas of human activity -
which fit together harmoniously constituting a wholesome system of life for the
betterment of humankind.
In addition, it discusses in detail the consequences that follow
the right versus the wrong human conduct in the life of this world - and into
another world after this life ends. The Qur'an describes accounts of the
reality of the Hereafter and its various stages in detail, such that a complete
picture emerges in how we will live through another life. It tells how an
accountability of our actions here in this worldly life would be carried out
there into the Hereafter. And the consequent rewards and punishments in that
life.
The Qur'an covers the subject matter of this vast area with an
assured certainty because its author is the one who has full knowledge of the
reality, observes all there is and knows all of the facts. The entire world is
like an open book to Him, not only from its beginning to its end but after its
end into another world - all at the same time. His guidance for humankind is
not based on conjecture and speculation, but on knowledge that is certain,
without any doubt whatever. As an example consider its astonishing descriptions
of the consequential scenes in the Hereafter juxtaposed to the human actions in
this word's life - as if to tell us if you do this, such would be the result.
And thus to warn us, because in fact none of the facts presented in the Qur'an
have proven false - since it is from all knowing Lord of all that exists or
will come to exist.
The concepts of universe and humankind presented in the Qur'an offer an explanation for the underlying factors that are naturally connected, and together they constitute a complete, coordinated and comprehensive system. It presents a way of life that is sound and very logical and is actually followed by numerous men and women around the world living a righteous life. And more than any other faith its message attracts every day numerous others towards it - to seek its guidance to live in peace and tranquility.
[8] The Qur'an did not come all at one time, but it started with a reformation movement among the people it initially addressed and with very forceful instructions.
And as this movement continued for 23 years it passed through
various stages and its leader addressed them according to their needs and
requirements. At the completion of this mission, its various portions were put
together into a complete book - the Qur'an. According to leader of the
movement, its discourses and sentences were not formulated by him but revealed
to him by the Creator and Lord of the universe.
If someone considers Qur'an a creation of its leader, then he should present an example of such a man who led a movement like this and was constantly involved in numerous ways - as a preacher and moral teacher, an organizer of a victimized group, as a ruler of a state, as a general of an army, as a conqueror of lands, and as an expert and explainer of what he advocated. Then collect his speeches given at various times and locations in all of these capacities and formulate them into a complete, coordinated and comprehensive book. Such that from its beginning until its end it has the same central theme and flow of ideas; and what was said on day one of its inception conformed to what it said at its end and builds an all-encompassing edifice of beliefs and actions. So that a conscientious reader would naturally feel that its author had a complete view of the entire picture right from its beginning, and never changed his understanding or strategy because of the intervening circumstances or his being unaware of any of them. Obviously, no one else but only a supernatural God could perform such an overwhelmingly enormous undertaking.
[9] The leader who delivered the Qur'anic messages was well known to its people, from its beginning until its end.
He would not go into hiding somewhere and come out from time to
time with a marvelous message. They knew the way and manner of his own speech -
much of it available today in the collections of sayings (Ahadith, plural of
Hadith) of Muhammad (PBUH). Although great, yet they are in no way comparable
to the speeches he delivered as Qur'an. This distinction is even clear when a
quotation from the Quran appears within the words of the Prophet (PBUH).
Murad Hoffman, Germany's ambassador to Algeria and Morocco (1987-94) and former director of information for NATO in his book "Islam and Qur'an" has pointed out that a variety of linguistic analytical tools used by modern sciences have confirmed that all of the Qur'anic text is the product of one entity. And that it differs completely from the sayings of Muhammad (PBUH).
[10] The Prophet (PBUH) during his life was subjected to a variety of situations - for a number of years he became the target of ridicule and innuendoes and was subjected to cruel and insulting treatment.
His companions were tortured to the extent that they had to go into
exile. While in Mecca they, along with the Prophet (PBUH) had to endure poverty
and starvation. His enemies conspired to kill him, and he had to migrate. He
had to go to battle them continuously. And finally he triumphed over those very
enemies and forgave them. Thus passing through various circumstances, he was naturally
subjected to different emotional states.
But none of his personal emotional conditions are apparent in the message of the Qur'an - because it came from God, the one who is above all human limitations and does not suffer from any of human emotions, or any deficiencies and drawbacks. Even the greatest of Islamic critics cannot point out a word or phrase that this is where the Qur'an exhibits such a human weakness.
[11] The extent of subject matter covered by the Qur'an is exhaustive.
It was an impossible task to
master not only for the Arabs, Persians, Romans, Greeks of those times, but
also today for the scholars of the 21st century. Even after spending a lifetime
in studies of a specific branch of philosophy and its various sciences, an
erudite scholar comes to know some of its end problems. And then if he looks at
the Qur'an, he will find a clear answer to what he was looking for. This is the
case not of any one branch of knowledge, but all knowledge areas concerning the
universe and the humans. How then it could be possible 1,400 years ago for an
unlettered dweller of Arab desert to have such a deep insight and perspicacity
that he would be able to think and reflect on every basic problem and come up
with a clear and certain answer.
In this respect, again consider the following observation from Murad Hoffmann from his book on "Islam & Qur'an": "Even prolonged cooperation between an expert team in the Arab language, theology, philosophy, history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, literature, physics, and biology would never arrive at final conclusions, because the Qur'an keeps offering new insights to every individual, every society, in each new era. In other words: Never ever is the Qur'an without relevance."
[12] The Qur'an provides guidance for the entire humankind despite contingent reality of its revelation to the Arabs in Arabia.
God in His infinite wisdom
chose Arabic as the most suitable language to convey His message. Of all the
languages, Arabic to this day remains rhetorically the richest and spiritually
the most comprehensive language. And the Arab people at the time of its
revelation, with their good and bad qualities, were the most suitable to
receive this message.
Quran's message is broader in nature, aimed at the entirety of
humankind. This is remarkable, because in contrast to this, other revelations
coming much earlier were by their very nature limited to a particular tribe or
geographic locality. And while other holy books are shrouded in mystery, Qur'an
more than any other book, religious or otherwise, is wide open for all to
critically examine it. It constantly appeals to human intellect and its
reasoning ability. It repeatedly asks us to think about the signs in wider
nature and in our surroundings, even within ourselves, and reflect on them to
arrive at an intelligent faith. Therefore, the Qur'an does not have the
dichotomy between faith and science seen in other religions.
In the remainder of this section we quote from Thomas Cleary, a
linguist and preeminent translator of classic Eastern religious books from
introduction to his book "The Essential Koran" as follows:
"The Qur'an is undeniably a book of great importance even to
the non-Muslim, perhaps more today than ever, if that is possible. One aspect
of Islam is unexpected and yet appealing to the post-Christian secular mind is
the harmonious interplay of faith and reason. Islam does not demand unreasoned
belief. Rather, it invites intelligent faith, growing from observation,
reflection, and contemplation, beginning with nature and what is all around us.
Accordingly, antagonism between religion and science such as that familiar to
Westerners is foreign to Islam.
"This connection between faith and reason enabled Islamic
civilization to absorb and vivify useful knowledge, including that of ancient
peoples, whereby it eventually nursed Europe out of Dark Ages, laying the
foundation for the Renaissance. When Europe got on its cultural feet and
expelled Islam, however, the European mind was rent by the inability of the
Christian church to tolerate the indivisibility of the sacred of the sacred and
secular that characterized Islam and had enabled Islamic civilization to
develop natural science and abstract art as well as philosophy and social
science. The result was a painful, ill-fated divorce between science and
religion in Europe, one whose consequences have adversely affected the entire
world.
"In the post-Christian West, where thinking people, including scientists themselves once more, are seeking solutions to the difficulties created by the Christian divorce between religion and science, the Qur'an offers a way to explore an attitude that fully embraces the quest for knowledge and understanding that is essence of science, while at the same time, and indeed for the same reasons, fully embrace the awe, humility, reverence, and conscience without which "humankind does indeed go too far in considering itself to be self-sufficient" (Al Alaq 96: 6-7)."
[13] Unlike other religious books, the speaker throughout Qur'an is in the first person, that it is God addressing His creation.
At times, depending on the situation, it uses the royal
"We." It addresses its message variously according to whom it is addressed.
Most chapters begin with a general statement addressed to all readers. The
comments are either glorifying God or describe the validity of Qur'an, in noble
words. When the address is for the entire humanity, it says "O
Humankind"; the word of address in this case is Annas plural of Insan,
which is a human. Other places it addresses "O Children of Adam",
Adam being the first prophet of God.
It often addresses the believers "O You who believe" when
it instructs the people who believe its message. Other places it responds to
questions asked from the Prophet (PBUH) by saying "They ask you."
Jews and Christians are given the honorific title of "Ahlal
kitab" "People of the Book" or "Family of the Book"
and thus addressed together, since Muslims share a commonality with them. The
Jews are often reminded of their history as "Bani Israel"
"Children of Israel", Israel being another name for the Prophet
Jacob.
Therefore, an outstanding beauty of Qur'an is that, although it was
revealed through Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it addresses him and every one of us.
The Western scholars among them Huston Smith, a professor of religion at the
University of California, Berkeley are much impressed by its address in the
first person against third person used in other revealed scriptures.
A Muslim when reading understands that it is God that addresses him or her.
Others, who read it with an open mind, have the same feeling. Admittedly thus
it is the word of God, and in its address God is talking with each of us
directly and addressing us each individually. He warns us if we do wrong, and
gladdens us if we do right. And tells us of the consequences of our actions as
if we are actually witnessing them. All this is done with a certainty and
assurance that could come only from God! Its message is very forceful, provided
the reader gives any attention! It needs no proving that it is from God.
[14] The objective of Qur'an is to provide guidance as clearly stated in the beginning of its second chapter.
Its first chapter consists
of what constitutes the main part of formal Muslim prayers or salat. In it a
worshipper asks Lord Almighty to guide him on the Right Path: Because more than
anything else humans need divine guidance in order to conduct themselves
righteously. In response, the second chapter of Qur'an begins with the words:
"Alif, Lam, Mim. This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt,
to those who fear God" (Al
Baqarah 2:1-2).
But in the course of providing this guidance, the Qur'an describes many a natural phenomenon. And as our knowledge increases, we come to know these phenomena better. Quite a few modern day scholars have dealt with this aspect of the Qur'an.
Thus for example, at a time when our knowledge of human procreation
was next to nothing, the Qur'an gives its factual detail: The fertilization of
egg by sperm, and the clinging of zygote to the womb of mother, and fetus's
wonderful development into a human with its specific faculties and
understanding (see Al Nahl
16:4; Al Alaq
96:2).
A good reference is the book by a French surgeon, Maurice Bucaille,
entitled "The Bible, The Qur'an and Sciences."
Worth mentioning is Bucaille's great surprise that "the Qur'an
most definitely did not contain a single proposition at variance with the most
firmly established modern knowledge, nor did it contain any of the ideas
current at the time on the subjects it describes." And he concluded,
"From Modern
man's findings concerning the absence of scientific errors are therefore in
complete agreement with the 'Muslim exegetes' conception of the Qur'an as a
book of revelation. It is a consideration which implies that God could not
express an erroneous idea."
[15] Although the Qur'an was revealed through the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he is not even its subject matter; one can only find some clues to his life from it.
Accounts of Prophet (PBUH),s
his life history are known from his sayings, his contemporaries and writers of
his biography who immediately followed him, e.g. Ibn Ishaq's Life of God's
Messenger.
The Qur'an does not provide any genealogy of Muhammad (PBUH) - a common practice of the times. Few of his close associates are mentioned, and it is only indirectly. But an entire chapter is named after Mary. The Qur'an describes the life of Moses and his confronting of Pharaoh 136 times, Jesus 29 times, while Muhammad (PBUH) is mentioned by name only 4 times.
[16] Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provides us with great personal examples, as attested in the Qur'an: "And you stand on an exalted standard of character" (Al Qalam 68:4).
Nevertheless, he was a human and would naturally be upset when
despite his best efforts was not heard - and not only ignored, but ridiculed
even persecuted for his message. Yet, he is told by God that his job is to
convey and not to interfere in any way. For example: "But if they turn
away, your duty is only to preach the clear message" (Al Nahl
16:82). And "Therefore do you give admonition for you are to
admonish. You are not one to manage their affairs" (Al
Ghashiya 88: 21-22).
And several places in the Qur'an, he is even reprimanded for small
infractions. One of the most outstanding examples of this is provided in
Chapter 80. When he frowned at a blind poor man who interrupted his
conversation with an influential personality: And for this he was admonished.
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, because there came to
him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance
he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? Or that he might receive
admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards himself as
self-sufficient, to him do thee attend; though it is no blame on thee if he
grow not (in spiritual understanding). But to him who came to thee earnestly,
and with fear in his heat of him thou were unmindful. By no means should it be
so! For it is indeed a Message of instruction ... " (Abasa 80:1-11).
Muhammad (PBUH) took this admonition to heart. He helped and showed
great respect for Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum (the blind man referred in these
versethis verse). He would stand up to greet him whenever he would visit. He
would say, "Welcome unto him on whose account my Sustainer has rebuked
me."
Such a critique of the prophets is unknown in all other holy scriptures.

Some
of the scientific fact mentioned in Holy
Quran , that later and very recently
were confirmed to be accurate
[1] The Holy Quran, for example, addresses the evolution of the
human embryo in a mother’s womb. Allah, the Glorious, calls the child in the
womb ‘that which hangs’ at a time when even physicians did not know
that the growing embryo hangs from the womb of the mother.
“And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay. Then We
placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into
a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made
[from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed
him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators” (Quran
23:12–14)
Also, God speaks of the three-stage growth process that the embryo
undergoes in the mother’s womb. He reveals that He created the womb with 3
veils, cloaks, shields, or envelopes of darkness around the child; and now we
know that 3 layers of darkness serve to separate the embryo from the outside
world.
[2] Furthermore, God states in His Book that He has created
everything from water. We now know that all living things are made of cells and
that cells are made mostly of water. It wasn’t until later, after the invention
of microscopes, that it was discovered that every living thing consists mostly
of water.
“…and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?” (Quran 21:30)
[3] The Holy Quran speaks of God’s creations; for instance, God
states that ‘He created’ the Skies, the Earth, the Heavens, the Mountains, etc.
However, when referencing the vital and age-old element of Iron, the Holy Quran
states that God ‘sent down’ as opposed to ‘created’ Iron. And
sure enough, scientists later discovered that Iron is not natural to the Earth
and indeed was ‘sent down’ to Earth from the galaxy. Geologists found that
the Earth was struck by meteorites billions of years ago, with Iron descending
as the earthbound byproduct of exploding stars.
“We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might” (Quran 57:25)
[4] Humans initially thought that the world was flat. The Holy
Quran references the Earth in a Verse describing the Earth using the word
‘Dahaha’; a term derived from a word which specifically defines the egg of an
Ostrich, which is geo-spherical in shape and indeed likens the exact shape of
the Earth. Furthermore, the word ‘Dahaha’ also means ‘to
expanse’ in the Arabic language. So through the use of this word, God is
also letting us know that the Earth is ever-expanding; a notion later confirmed
to be true.
“And after that He spread the earth” (Quran 79:30)
[5] At a time when people initially thought that the moon casts its
own light, the Holy Quran referenced the fact that the light of the moon is not
natural to this celestial being but rather takes the form of reflected light —
a fact which scientists confirmed to be true.
“Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed
therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon” (Quran 25:61)
[6] The Holy Quran references the fact that God made mountains in
the form of pegs. The word used to refer to mountains in this Verse is
‘Aw’ta’da’, which translates directly to mean pegs and stakes, much like those
objects that hold up tents. This is because Mountains provide the Earth’s
stability, preventing the planet from shaking; much in the same manner that a
peg provides stability to a tent. Similar to tent pegs, mountains bear deep
roots embedded in the Earth.
“Have We not made the earth a resting place?” (Quran 78:6)
“And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift
with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided” (Quran 15:15)
[7] God mentions in a Verse of two seas that come together on the
face of the Earth, without directly mixing. We now know that at the place where
two different seas meet, there does indeed stand a barrier between them which
boasts its own salinity, temperature, and density.
“And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one
fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier
and prohibiting partition” (Quran 25:53)
[8] God references a conversation in the Holy Quran that took place
between a Queen Ant warning her community of dire happenings, saying, ‘O
you ants! Get into your dwellings lest Solomon and his army crush you
unawares.’ Now we know that the animals whose life cycles bear the closest
resemblance to our own would be the ants. Ants routinely meet and talk to each
other in their nests, with the Queen Ants issuing instructions. They have in
their population labor workers with supervisors, they have marketplaces where
they exchange goods, and they even bury their dead as we do.
“Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, “O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not” (Quran 27:18)
In addition to these scientfic facts mentioned above , there are
tens of other sicentific facts mentioned in the Holy Quran since 1400 years ago , and only recently were
confirmed by scientists in various fields of scinece .
