Miracles of the Quran

• Intellectual Test
• Any scripture claiming divine intervention must
  be put to a test the test is as follows
• 1. the scripture must clearly state who is God,
  what is not God.
• 2. the scripture must stand the Test of Time.

Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it
had been from (any) other than Allah (God), they
would have found within it much contradiction.
Ch. 4 V. 82

Miracles of the Quran

• Quran in Focus
• Quran is not a book of SCIENCE but it is a
  book of SIGNS. It clearly states a number of
  scientific truths that were uncovered only with
  the help of modern technology in the 20th
  century. Therefore, we will use science as a
  yardstick to measure the accuracy of the
  statements in Quran.

without Science is blind.   Albert Einstein A

Miracles of the Quran

• Proportion of Rain
• Every year, the amount of water that evaporates
  that falls back to the earth in the form of
  rain is constant.
• This measured quantity in rain has been
  discovered by modern research. It is estimated
  that in one second, approximately 16 million tons
  of water evaporates from the Earth.
• i.e. equivalent to 513 trillion tons of water
  per year
• even if people used all the available technology
  in the world, they would not be able to reproduce
  this cycle artificially.
• A minor deviation in this equilibrium would rise
  a major ecological imbalance that would be about
  the end of life on earth.

And who send down rain from the sky in measured
amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land thus
will you be brought forth. Noble Quran Ch. 43

• Darkness in the Seas

Or (they are) like the darkness within an
unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon
which are waves, over which are clouds
darknesses, some of them upon others. When one
puts out his hand (therein), he can hardly see
it. And he to whom Allah (God) has not granted
light for him there is not light. Noble Quran

• Darkness in the Seas
• The darkness in deep seas oceans is found
  around a depth of 200 meters below.
• Measurements made with todays technology have
  revealed that between 3 30 percent of the
  sunlight is reflected at the surface of the sea.
• Then, almost all of the seven colours of the
  light spectrum are absorbed, one after another,
  in the first 200 meters, except for blue light.
  Below a depth of 1,000 meters, there is no light
  at all.
• human beings are not able to dive more than 40
  meters down without the aid of special equipment.
  
• today we know about the general structure of the
  sea, the characteristics of the living things in
  it, its salinity, as well as the amount of water
  it contains, its surface area depth.
• Submarines special equipment, enabled
  scientist to obtain this information.

Miracles of the Quran

• Birth of a Human Being its stages
• We are often reminded how man came into the
  world, which stages he has passed through what
  his essence is
• The miracle of mans creation is emphasized in
  many verses. Some of the information within these
  verses is so detailed that it was impossible for
  anyone living in the 7th century to have known
  it. Examples of these are as follows
• 1. Man is not created from the entire semen,
  but only a very small portion of it
  (sperm).
• 2. It is not the male that determines the sex
  of the baby.
• 3. The human embryo adheres to the mothers
  uterus like a leech.
• 4. The embryo develops in the three dark
  regions in the uterus.

We have created you, so why do you not believe?
Have you seen that which you emit? Is it you who
creates it, or are We the Creator? Noble Quran

Miracles of the Quran

• How could Muhammad (S) have possibly known all
  this 1400 years ago, when scientists have only
  recently discovered this using advanced equipment
  and powerful microscopes which did not exist at
  that time? 
• Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists
  to observe human sperm cells (spermatozoa) using
  an improved microscope in 1677 (more than 1000
  years after Muhammad (S) ). 
• They mistakenly thought that the sperm cell
  contained a miniature preformed human being that
  grew when it was deposited in the female genital
  tract.

And Allah (God) has extracted you from the wombs
of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made
for you hearing and vision and intellect that
perhaps you would be grateful. Noble Quran Ch.

• Conclusion
• ''The above observation makes the hypothesis
  advanced by those who see Muhammad as the author
  of the Quran untenable. How could a man, from
  being illiterate, become the most important
  author, in terms of literary merits, in the
  whole of Arabic literature? How could he then
  pronounce truths of a scientific nature that no
  other human being could possibly have developed
  at that time, and all this without once making
  the slightest error in his pronouncement on the
  subject?
• Maurice Bucaille,
• The Bible, the Quran and Science, 1978, p. 125
• ''A totally objective examination of it (the
  Quran) in the light of modern knowledge, leads us
  to recognize the agreement between the two, as
  has been already noted on repeated occasions. It
  makes us deem it quite unthinkable for a man of
  Muhammad's time to have been the author of such
  statements, on account of the state of knowledge
  in his day. Such considerations are part of what
  gives the Quranic Revelation its unique place,
  and forces the impartial scientist to admit his
  inability to provide an explanation which calls
  solely upon materialistic reasoning.
