Anyways this will probably be my only post....but I found this and wanted to share.


THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MANY SCIENTIFIC FACTS FOUND IN THE QURAN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT THE QURAN IS NOT A BOOK OF SCIENCE, BUT THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH SCIENCE.


Universe
A mobile phone is clearly something that was put together in an organised way, so it would be rational
to believe that it must have an organiser. In the same way, when we see the order in the universe
around us, isn’t it rational to say that the universe has an organiser?

“We shall show them our signs in the universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them
that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your lord is the witness of all things?”[Quran, 41:53]

Origin of life
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.

“We made every living thing from water? will they not believe?”[Quran, 21:30]

Embryology

“We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly
fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made
the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)…” (Quran 23:12-14).

Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore (one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of
anatomy and embryology) : " It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad
from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.

Sky’s protection
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.

“We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away from Our signs!” (Quran 21:32)

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 (M. E.
Walrath, History of the Earth’s Formation)

“We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind.” (Quran
57:25)





Seas and Oceans:
Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier
between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and
density (1) [Principles of Oceanography, Davis, pp. 92-93]

"He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not
transgress". (Quran, 55:19-20).

Sun’s orbit
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.

“It is He who created night and day, the sun and the moon, each floating in its orbit.”[Quran, 21:33]

Mountains:
A book titled ‘Earth’ by Geophysicist Frank Press (Earth (ISBN 0716717433) by Press, Frank, Siever,
Raymond. W.H. Freeman, c1986.) explains that mountains are like stakes, and are buried deep under
the surface of the earth. Mount Everest, the height of which is approximately 9 km above ground, has a
root deeper than 125 km.

“Did we not make the earth a resting place? and the mountains as stakes?”[Quran, 78:6-7]

Universe expanding
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.”

“And it is We who have built the universe with [Our creative] power and keep expanding it.”[ Quran,
51:47]

Skin pain receptors
For a long time it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent on the brain. However,
it has been discovered that there are pain receptors present in the skin. Without these pain receptors, a
person would not be able to feel pain.

"We shall send those who reject our revelations to the (hell) fire. When their skins have been burned
away, We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain: God is
almighty, all-wise.”[Quran 4:56]









Oceans
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.

“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]

Lying & Movement

First, 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 frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. The part of the brain that is responsible for
movement is said to be seized if the man does not stop. Secondly, numerous studies have shown that
this same region (frontal lobe) is responsible for the lying function of the brain. One such study at the
University of Pennsylvania in which volunteers were asked questions during a computerized
interrogation, it was found that when the volunteers were lying there was significantly increased activity
in the prefrontal and premotor cortices.

There was a cruel oppressive tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Allah 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]. Allah 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.

And of course the Big Bang

Big Bang

"Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and then We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?" [21:30]
