Scientists' Comments On Scientific Miracles In The Quran / Scientific Miracles Of The Qur'an (The Qur'an on the Origin of the Universe) / Scientific Miracles I Found In The Quran (2) (3) (4)
| Scientific Miracles In The Quran... by madjnr: 5:31am On Oct 21, 2015 |
Scientific Facts in the Quran The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. Science at the time was primitive, there were no telescopes, microscopes or anything even close to the technology we have today. People believed that the sun orbited the earth and that the sky was held up by big pillars at the corners of a flat earth. Within this backdrop the Quran was revealed, and it contains many scientific facts on topics ranging from astronomy to biology, geology to sociology. Some people may claim that the Quran was changed as new scientific facts were discovered but this cannot be the case because it is a historically documented fact that the Quran is preserved in its original language[1]. The Quran was written down and memorised by people during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad. One of the copies of the Quran which was written a few years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad is preserved in a museum in Uzbekistan. This copy is over 1400 years old and is exactly the same as the Arabic Quran that we have today[2]. The following are nine scientific facts found in the Quran: 1. Origin of Life Water is essential for all living things. We all know that water is vital to life but the Quran makes a very unusual claim: We made every living thing from water? Will they not believe? (Quran 21:30) In this verse water is pointed out as the origin of all life. All living things are made of cells. We now know that cells are mostly made up of water[3]. For example, 80% of the cytoplasm (basic cell material) of a standard animal cell is described as water in biology textbooks. The fact that living things consist mostly of water was discovered only after the invention of the microscope. In the deserts of Arabia, the last thing someone would have guessed is that all life came from water. 2. Iron Iron is not natural to the earth. It did not form on the earth but came down to earth from outer space. This may sound strange but it’s true. Scientists have found that billions of years ago the earth was stuck by meteorites. These meteorites were carrying Iron from distant stars which had exploded[4]. The Quran says the following on the origin of Iron: “We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind.” (Quran 57:25) God uses the words ‘sent down’ for Iron. It is clear from the verse that Iron is not an earthly material, but was sent down for the benefit of humanity. The fact that Iron came down to earth from outer space is something which could not be known by the primitive science of the 7th century. 3. Sky’s Protection The sky plays a crucial role in protecting the earth. The sky protects the earth from the lethal rays of the sun. If the sky did not exist then the sun’s radiation would have killed off all life on earth. It also acts like a blanket wrapped around the earth, to protect it from the freezing cold of space. The temperature just above the sky is approximately -270oC. If this temperature was to reach earth then the planet would freeze over instantly. The sky also protects life on earth by warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night[5]. These are some of the many protective functions of the sky. The Quran asks us to consider the sky in the following verse: “We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away from Our signs!” (Quran 21:32) The Quran points to the sky’s protection as a sign of God. The protective properties of the sky were discovered by scientific research conducted in the 20th century. 4. Mountains The Quran draws our attention to a very important characteristic of mountains: “Did We not make the earth a resting place? And the mountains as stakes?” (Quran 78:6-7) The Quran indicates that mountains have deep roots by using the word stakes to describe them. In fact mountains do have deep roots, and the word stakes is an ac 2 Likes |

and the word stakes is an accurate description for them. A book titled ‘Earth’ by Geophysicist Frank Press explains that mountains are like stakes, and are buried deep under the surface of the earth. Mount Everest (pictured below), the height of which is approximately 9 km above ground, has a root deeper than 125 km. The fact that mountains have deep ‘stake’ like roots was not known, until after the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the beginning of the 20th century.[6] 5. Expansion of the Universe At a time when the science of Astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described in Quran: “And it is We who have built the Universe with [Our creative] power and keep expanding it.” (Quran 51:47) The fact that the universe is expanding was discovered in the last century. The physicist Stephen Hawking in his book ‘A Brief History of Time’ writes, “The discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the great intellectual revolutions of the 20th century.”. The Quran mentioned the expansion of the universe even before the invention of the telescope! 6. Sun’s Orbit In 1512 the astronomer Nicholas Copernicus put forward his theory that the Sun is motionless at the centre of the solar system, and that the planets revolve around it. The belief that the Sun is stationary was widespread amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is now a well-established scientific fact that the Sun is not stationary, but is moving in an orbit around the centre of our Milky Way galaxy[7]. The Quran mentions the orbit of the Sun: “It is He who created night and day, the Sun and the Moon, each floating in its orbit.” (Quran 21:33) The Quran would have been wrong according to astronomers just a couple of decades ago. But we now know that the Quranic account of the Sun’s motion is consistent with modern Astronomy. 7. The Ocean The Quran uses imagery to covey its deep meanings, here it describes the state of the unbelievers as: “Darkness out in a deep ocean which is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. Those God gives no light to, they have no light.” (Quran 24:40) It is commonly thought that waves only occur on the surface of the ocean. However oceanographers have discovered that there are internal waves that take place below the surface of the ocean. These waves are invisible to the human eye, and can only be detected by specialist equipment[8]. The Quran mentions darkness in a deep ocean above which are waves, above which are waves, then clouds above that. This description is not only remarkable because it describes the internal waves in the ocean, but also because it describes darkness deep in the ocean. A human being can dive no more than 70 metres without breathing equipment. Light is present at that depth, but if we go down 1000 metres it is completely dark[9]. 1400 years ago there were no submarines or specialist equipment to discover internal waves or the darkness deep inside the oceans. 8. Lying and Movement There was a cruel oppressive tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. God revealed a verse of the Quran to warn him: “No Indeed! If he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead.” (Quran 96:15-16) God does not call this person a liar, but calls his forehead (the front part of the brain) ‘lying’ and ‘sinful’, and warns him to stop. This verse is significant for two reasons. The first is that the front part of our brain is responsible for voluntary movement[10].This is known as the frontal lobe. A book titled ‘Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology’ which includes the results of research on the functions of this area states: The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the fr 3 Likes |

All of those were either already known to earlier peoples, the result of selective interpretation, or are wrong. The Quran does not contain anything useful to science. |

Satan and demons are knowledgeable beings and they are undying. They were witnesses to the creation of man and the earth. So nothing is secret to them especially on how things operate in the universe. Therefore, allahh knowing and revealing what you call miracles of the quran, it is no big deal. All demons know them too. But what surprises me is that with all the miracles claimed for the quran, there is no single miracle of healing the sick. Even when Muhammad was sick, the quran (which you claim is a miracle) was recited on him but he was not healed, he died. Where is the miracle of the quran? 4 Likes |

madjnr: [size=13pt] the mountains are stakes?? iron sent from the sky?? ?? lieing for forehead?? ? Please when ur quran says behead and slay the disbelieving non muslims, I guess it also guessed the disbelieving brain was in the head.. the interpretation of most of theses verses can be twisted to mean a variety of things, if u can't see that then u are a lost cause. in addition, a lot of this information and many others were already known by greek scholars eg rotation of the earth around the sun, the shape of the earth etc a number of which were already in the bible When u posted that mohammed claimed humans are made of water, u forgot to add in another verse he claimed humans are made of blood and in another verse humans are made of soil  Do u want the verses?? Am sure u know it, so let me ask u which should we believe, soil as is already contained in Christian scripture, or the blood anyone can guess since every human bleeds or water as was probably superstition then?? Or DNA and cells??So which?? How can I take u or the quran serious when mohammed claims he was the frist muslim then changes his mind and says it was Abraham, then Adam and all the prophets. Here let me remind u, Muhammad was the first Muslim. ( Surah 6:163). However, it also that Abraham who lived centuries before Muhammad was a Muslim. ( Surah 3:67). And The Qur’an states that the disciples of Jesus who lived before Muhammad were also Muslims. ( Surah 5: 111). In fact, the Qur’an claims that all prophets, from the time of Abraham to Muhammad were Muslims. (Surah 22:78) My question; Since the quran say muhammed is the first muslim while at the same time declaring abraham and the rest who live hundred of years before the coming of muhammed to be a muslims,is this not a clear prove of contradiction from ur "scientific " book. I won't bother listing all the scientific inaccuracies in the quran, too numerous.. Address the issues I have raised then we can take a look at the inaccuracies and crap contained in the unholy quran. Or Take a sit Mr muslim. [/size] 3 Likes 1 Share |

@madjnr: The Bible along with many other ancient text had already associated water with life long before the Quran was written, which might lead one to conclude that the quran burrowed from the bible and other ancient text. Your number two miracle iron is completely meaningless because there does not exist any element on the earth that was made on earth. Every element present on earth that is present from the tiniest particle to the largest mountain all came from the cataclysmic destruction of a distant star in a supernova. So it appears that your Allah was ignorant of the process of how the earth was formed. |

I assure you that, as an atheist, I could have been convinced if someone showed me a Quran written in indestructible material that had no known earthly origin.
