More miracles that prophet Muhammad couldn't have known about: iii) The determination of the sex of the baby Until fairly recently, it was thought that a baby’s sex was determined by the mother’s cells. That was why, in many cultures, women were blamed when they gave birth to girls. However, this belief was negated with the arrival of the Quran where it is stated that masculinity or femininity is created out of “a drop of Fluid which has been ejected”. “He has created both sexes, male and female from a drop of Fluid which has been ejected.” (The Quran, 53:45-46) With the development of genetics science and molecular biology in the 20th century, Scientists have validated the accuracy of this information given by the Quran. It is now understood that the sex is determined by the Fluid cells from the male, and that the female does not play the main role in this process. Chromosomes are the main elements in determining sex. Two of the 46 chromosomes that determine the structure of a human being are identified as sex chromosomes. These two chromosomes are called “XY” in males, and “XX” in females, because the shapes of the chromosomes resemble these letters. The Y chromosome carries characteristics of masculinity, while the X chromosome carries those of femininity. In the mother’s egg, there is only the X chromosome, which determines female characteristics. In the Fluid from the father, there are Spermatozoa that includes either X or Y chromosomes. Therefore, the sex of the baby depends on whether the Fluid fertilizing the mother’s egg (ovum) contains an X or Y chromosome. For example, if an X chromosome from the female unites with a Fluid that contains X chromosomes, then the baby is a female. If it unites with the Fluid that contains a Y chromosome, the baby is male. In other words, as stated in the verse, the factor determining the sex of the baby is the Fluid which comes from the father. This knowledge, which could not have been known at the time when the Quran was revealed, is evidence to the fact that the Quran is the word of God. 2 Likes |

More miracles [We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot 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 Allah, the Best of Creators! (Qur'an, 23:14) Three Dark Stages of the Baby in the Womb In the Qur'an, it is related that man is created through a three-stage process in the mother's womb. ... He creates you stage by stage in your mothers' wombs in threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no god but Him. So what has made you deviate? (Qur'an, 39:6) The expression "fee thulumatin thalathin," translated into English as "a threefold darkness," indicates three dark regions involved during the development of the embryo. These are: The darkness of the abdomen The darkness of the womb The darkness of the placenta As we have seen, modern biology has revealed that the embryological development of the baby takes place in the manner revealed in the verse, in three dark regions. Moreover, advances in the science of embryology show that these regions consist of three layers each. The lateral abdominal wall comprises three layers: the external oblique, the internal oblique, and transverses abdominis muscles.87 Similarly, the wall of the womb also consists of three layers: the epimetrium, the myometrium and the endometrium.88 Similarly again, the placenta surrounding the embryo also consists of three layers: the amnion (the internal membrane around the fetus), the chorion (the middle amnion layer) and the decidua (outer amnion layer.)89 It is also pointed out in this verse that a human being is created in the mother's womb in three distinct stages. Indeed, modern biology has also revealed that the baby's embryological development takes place in three distinct regions in the mother's womb. Today, in all the embryology textbooks studied in departments of medicine, this subject is taken as an element of basic knowledge. For instance, in Basic Human Embryology, a fundamental reference text in the field of embryology, this fact is stated as follows: The life in the uterus has three stages: pre- embryonic; first two and a half weeks, embryonic; until the end of the eight week, and fetal; from the eight week to labor.90 These phases refer to the different developmental stages of a baby. In brief, the main characteristics of these developmental stages are as follows: - Pre-embryonic Stage In this first phase, the zygote grows by division, and when it becomes a cell cluster, it buries itself in the wall of the uterus. While they continue growing, the cells organize themselves in three layers. - Embryonic Stage The second phase lasts for five and a half weeks, during which the baby is referred to as an "embryo." During this stage, the basic organs and systems of the body start to appear from the cell layers. - Foetal Stage From this stage onward, the embryo is called a "foetus." This phase begins at the eighth week of gestation, and lasts until the moment of birth. The distinctive characteristic of this stage is that the foetus looks much like a human being, with its face, hands and feet. Although it is only 3 cm long initially, all of its organs have become apparent. This phase lasts for about 30 weeks, and development continues until the week of delivery. |

THE COMING OF THE UNIVERSE INTO EXISTENCE The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse: "He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth." (The Qur'an, 6:101) This information given in the Qur'an is in full agreement with the findings of contemporary science. The conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time. This event, known as "The Big slam" proved that the universe was created from nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientific circles are in agreement that the Big slam is the only rational and provable explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into being. Before the Big slam, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed, and which can only be described metaphysically, matter, energy, and time were all created. This fact, only recently discovered by modern physics, was announced to us in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. The sensitive sensors on board the COBE space satellite which was launched by NASA in 1992, captured evidentiary remnants of the Big slam. This discovery served as evidence for the Big slam, which is the scientific explanation of the fact that the universe was created from nothing. The Expansion of the Universe In the Qur'an, which was revealed 14 centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described like this: "And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it." (The Qur'an, 51:47) The word "heaven", as stated in this verse, is used in various places in the Qur'an with the meaning of space and universe. Here again, the word is used with this meaning. In other words, in the Qur'an it is revealed that the universe "expands". And this is the very conclusion that science has reached today. Until the dawn of the 20th century, the only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time". The research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology, however, have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning, and that it constantly " expands". At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding. This fact was proved also by observational data in 1929. While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other. A universe where everything constantly moves away from everything else implied a constantly expanding universe. The observations carried out in the following years verified that the universe is constantly expanding. This fact was explained in the Qur'an when that was still unknown to anyone. This is because the Qur'an is the word of God, the Creator, and the Ruler of the entire universe. From the moment of the big slam, the universe has been constantly expanding at a great speed. Scientists compare the expanding universe to the surface of a balloon that is inflated. The Splitting Asunder of "The Heavens and The Earth" Another verse about the creation of the heavens is as follows: "Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder, and We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" (The Qur'an, 21:30) The word ratq translated as "sewn to" means "mixed in each, blended" in Arabic dictionaries. It is used to refer to two different substances that make up a whole. The phrase " we unstitched" is the verb fataqa in Arabic and implies that something comes into being by tearing apart or destroying the structure of ratq. The sprouting of a seed from the soil is one of the actions to which this verb is applied. Let us take a look at the verse again with this knowledge in mind. In the verse, sky and earth are at first subject to the status of ratq. They are separated (fataqa) with one coming out of the other. Intriguingly, when we remember the first moments of the Big slam, we see that a single point included all the matter in the universe. In other words, everything, including "the heavens and earth" which were not created yet, were included in this point in a condition of ratq. This point exploded violently, causing its matter to fataqa and in the process created the structure of the whole universe. When we compare the expressions in the verse with scientific findings, we see that they are in perfect agreement with each other. Interestingly enough, these findings were not arrived at until the 20th century. The picture represents the Big slam, which revealed once again that God created the universe from nothingness. The Big slam is a theory that has been proven with scientific evidence. Although some scientists tried to advance alternative theories against the Big slam, scientific evidence caused the theory to be completely accepted by the scientific community. Orbits While referring to the Sun and the Moon in the Qur'an, it is emphasized that each moves in a definite orbit. "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They swim along, each in an orbit. " (The Qur'an, 21:33) It is mentioned in another verse, too, that the Sun is not static but moves in a definite orbit: "And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. " (The Qur'an, 37:38) These facts communicated in the Qur'an have been discovered by astronomical observations in our age. According to the calculations of experts on astronomy, the Sun is traveling at the enormous speed of 720,000 kilometers an hour in the direction of the star Vega in a particular orbit called the Solar Apex. This means that the sun travels roughly 17,280,000 kilometers a day. Along with the Sun, and all planets and satellites within the gravitational system of the Sun also travel the same distance. In addition, all the stars in the universe are in a similar planned motion. That the entire universe is full of paths and orbits such as this one, is written in the Qur'an as follows: "By the sky full of paths and orbits." (The Qur'an, 51:7) There are about 200 billion galaxies in the universe, consisting of nearly 200 billion stars in each. Most of these stars have planets, and most of those planets have satellites. All of these heavenly bodies move in very precisely computed orbits. For millions of years, each has been "swimming" along in its own orbit in perfect harmony and order with all the others. Moreover, many comets also move along in the orbits determined for them. The orbits in the universe do not only belong to celestial bodies. The g To be continued in the link |

i can't believe Mohammed was telling the truth, because there were no eye witnesses when he claimed to have seen an angel he never met Jesus, but amazingly gave some story about him contrary to historical fact that all historians agree upon and the 5000 Greek manuscripts from antiquity testify to, Muslim believe Jesus wasn't Crucified and buried in a tomb of a popular man is Jerusalem (Joesph of Arimathea), Allah made it seem like he was the one.....(God in Christianity is not a deceiver) so many internal contradictions in the Quran......read the Injil and the Torah, but Muslims claim the bible is corrupt despite all the document we have. anyone who starts believes someone is a prophet without being a skeptic is headed for rock bottom putting so much faith on thin ice doesn't mean you not going straight through it the element of ones faith should be something that would ruin you. i would like any Muslim to address this. |

tevinsolt: i can't believe Mohammed was telling the truth, because there were no eye witnesses when he claimed to have seen an angel i. Muslim are Intellectually convinced that the Quran as a book is beyond the productive capacity of a man. It is simply not possible. The only conclusion is that it is from the divine. It is not faith on thin ice, it is something that can be examined. Kindly review the following thread in your free time. The Amazing Quran: https://www.nairaland.com/972776/amazing-quran-season-1 The thread is just a tip of the Iceberg ii. On your 5,000 manuscripts, this is a quote from a Bible scholar: "In any event, none of [the original manuscripts of the books of the Bible] now survive. What do survive are copies made over the course of centuries, or more accurately, copies of the copies of the copies, some 5,366 of them in the Greek language alone, that date from the second century down to the sixteenth. Strikingly, with the exception of the smallest fragments, no two of these copies are exactly alike in their particulars. No one knows how many differences, or variant readings, occur among the surviving witnesses, but they must number in the hundreds of thousands." The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture, Bart Ehrman, pp. 27 There are many serious discrepanicies which we can talk about on another thread. iii. As regards your so called 'errors' in the Quran. I have studied the Quran to a decent extent and those claims are laughable to say the least. Any one without a sound knowledge of classical Arabic is not qualified to critique the Quran otherwise they just end up with a thesis of their own stupidity. I have seen this stupidity displayed time and time again. iv. Jesus(peace be upon him) is not inside any tomb. That is not the belief of muslims. He was raised. As regards our belief that he was not crucified, we are convinced of the source of the Quranic revelation, so that is not a big deal. |

Koran is the only self authenticating book even though it claims to talk about the Judeo-Christian God. that's why it's a faith on thin ice the book of Mormon is also brilliant and people believe it. heck yeah i could write a book too maybe people will take it as a spiritual guide the variations of the new testament gives it more credibility because it shows that plagiarism is out of the question by telling history from different perspectives. also you pick what you want, Bart Ehrman acknowledges Jesus was crucified, but why would an Holy God deceive his creation about who they hanged on the cross of Calvary? fishy isn't it? |
