MIRACLES IN THE QUR'AAN

CREATION OF MAN AND EMBRYOLOGY
A miracle means transcending human ability that occurs in all generations.
Dr. Keith Moore, Professor of anatomy and embryology at
University of Toronto
,
Canada
, said,"it has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur’aan about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God."
God said,
“Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;
then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation…
”
QUR’AAN (AL-MU’MINOON) 23:12-14.
"The average discharge of semen, called ejaculate, contains approximately 300 million sperm" ("Human Sexuality", Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopedia). Yet a single sperm cell is enough to fertilize an egg cell and by the Mercy of God it will become a human being. The Qur'aan mentions in advance before the discovery of the role of sperm cell which is a drop or a little fluid {
Qur’aan (Fitr) 35:11}
through which Adam's children have come to existence and its perfect stages inside the womb. Dr. Moore in his foreword of his book "The Developing Human" (dated September 1983) states: "I was astonished by the accuracy of the statements that were recorded in the 7th century AD, before the science of embryology was established."
SKIN THE RECEPTOR OF PAIN
Dr. Tagata Tagasone, formerly Head of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the
University
of
Siang Mai
in
Thailand
, who is now the Dean of College of Medicine at that University, confirmed and clarified skin as a pain receptor. Allaah says,
“… SHALL SOON CAST INTO THE FIRE: AS OFTEN
AS THEIR SKINS ARE ROASTED THROUGH. WE SHALL CHANGE THEM FOR FRES
SKINS,
THAT THEY MAY TASTE THE CHASTISEMENT:.."
QUR’AAN 4:56.
BIG BANG THEORY & THE ORIGIN OF LIFE FROM WATER
According to the widely-accepted theory of the Big Bang, the universe originated between 10 and 20 billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since.
" …the universe was created in a gigantic explosion and that the various elements observed today were produced within the first few minutes after the Big Bang,.. expansion of the universe and the physical basis of Hubble's law." (
"Cosmology," Microsoft® Encarta® 97).
“DO NOT THE UNBELIEVERS SEE THAT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE JOINED TOGETHER, BEFORE WE CLOVE THEM ASUNDER? WE MADE FROM WATER EVERY LIVING THING."
QUR’AAN 21:30.
THE BARRIER IN THE OCEAN
Professor Hay is one of the best known marine scientists in the
United States of America
. He was asked by Shaikh Zindani about the partition of seas and oceans: Professor Hay explained that these bodies of water are not one homogeneous sea as it appears to us. They are different seas, distinguished by varying degrees of salinity, temperature, density, marine biology and oxygen dissolubility. The…divider between the
Mediterranean
and
Atlantic Ocean
at
Gibraltar
cannot be perceived in our naked eye in the nature of a colored partition. This has become possible by means of satellite photography and remote-sensing techniques. "Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any god beside God? Nay, but most of them know
not."
Qur’aan (An-Naml) 27:61.
THE MOUNTAINS AS PEGS OR ROOTS
One of the most famous scientists in the world and one of the best known marine geologists in
Japan
, Professor Siaveda said: “mountains are that they have roots:”: “THE MOUNTAINS AS PEGS.” Qur’aan 78:7.
“AND HE HAS SET UP ON THE
EARTH
MOUNTAINS
STANDING FIRM, LEST IT SHOULD SHAKE WITH YOU.”
QUR’AAN 16:15.
Professor Siaveda: ‘it seems to me very mysterious, almost unbelievable. I really think if what you have said is true, the book is really a very remarkable book, I agree’.-page 83 of the book “THIS IS THE TRUTH.”
THE EXISTENCE OF IRON
Professor Armstrong works at NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He was asked about iron and how it was formed. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental iron. “In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system.” In other words, all heavenly bodies that revolve arround the Sun, are not sufficient to form one new single atom of iron.. In conclusion Professor Armstrong said “… Scientists believe that iron is an Extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein.”---page 85, “THIS IS THE TRUTH.”
"We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong) that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron…"
QUR’AAN (AL-HADID) 57:25.
THE LAYERS OF DARKNESS IN THE OCEAN
Professor Dorja Rao, specialist of Marine Geology and currently teaching at
King
Abdulaziz
University
in Jeddah, said: "The light Ray is composed of seven colors… The upper layer has absorbed the Red Color in the first ten meters. Orange rays are absorbed next. Then at the depth of 50 meters yellow rays are absorbed. At the depth of 100 meters green rays are absorbed. At the depth beyond 200 meters, blue rays are absorbed, and so on. From this, we can see that the ocean becomes progressively darker, that is darkness."
"… is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean overwhelmed with billow topped by billow topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! For any to whom God giveth not light there is no light!"Qur’aan (An-Nur) 24:40.
There are hundreds more of scientific evidences in the Qur'aan, but I just quoted and expounded very few of them because of space limitation.
Dear friend, the Qur'aan was revealed in the 7th century Christian Era (CE) and in the Camel Period in
Middle East
.
Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered man, he categorically mentioned that the Qur'aan is authored by God.
THE CHALLENGE
To doubt is natural, but to keep your doubt is unnatural. So stand up and investigate to find the truth! Allaah said;
“And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your (doubts) are true.”
Qur’aan (Baqarah) 2:23
The shortest Surah (Chapter) in the Qur’aan is Surah Al-kawthar—108th Chapter andit has only ten (10) words in original form, a total of three verses only: Yet, till today no single Arab or human being has met the challenge.
