Miracles in the QURAN
Relationship Between the Quran and Modern Science
The relationship between the Quran and science is a topic
that has sparked much discussion and debate. Many people believe that the Quran contains verses that align with scientific discoveries. Others argue that these interpretations are subjective. Modern scientific theory today finds itself quite close to the Quran. Topics in the Quran Origin of the universe Expansion of the universe Pulsars The Sun and the Moon Cerebrum Creation of the Earth and Iron Human embryonic developments Time zones Mountains Clouds Seas and Rivers Deep seas and internal waves Female bee Numerical Miracles Origin of the universe [21:30] “Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” Modern cosmology suggests that the universe was once a dense and hot gaseous composition referred to as "smoke." This principle is widely accepted in standard modern The Quran states that the earth cosmology. and heavens were once connected Scientists observe new stars and formed from the same forming from the remnants of "smoke." this "smoke." This aligns with the scientific understanding of the universe's early state. Expansion of the universe [51:47] "We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺.“
View of Universe Thomas Diggs
500 Years Ago Version Hubble's observation in 1929: Redshift of galaxies is directly proportional to their distance from Earth. Conclusion: Objects farther away are moving away faster, indicating the expansion of the universe. Pulsars [86:1-4] "By the heaven and the nightly star! And what will make you realize what the nightly star is? ˹It is˺ the star of piercing brightness. There is no soul without a vigilant angel ˹recording everything˺.“
Pulsars are highly
magnetized rotating neutron stars. They emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles. “to-Pulsate” means to “Beat Repeatedly” or to “Pulse”. “Tariq” means “the Beater” or “the Striker. It resembles the nature of a Pulsar. The Sun and the Moon [10:5] "He is the One Who made the sun a radiant source and the moon a reflected light, with precisely ordained phases, so that you may know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. Allah did not create all this except for a purpose. He makes the signs clear for people of knowledge."
Light from the sun is described by the word “Dhiyaa” meaning “a Shining Light”. Moon’s light is described by the word “Noor” meaning “a Reflected Light”. Cerebrum
Allah has said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad from praying at the Kaaba:
[96:15-16 ] "But no! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag him by the forelock— (front of the head), a lying, sinful forelock!"
*Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? *Why didn’t the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? *What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness? The prefrontal area of the cerebrum is responsible for: Planning, motivation, and initiation of behavior. Association cortex functions related to motivation. Scientifically linked to both good and sinful behavior, including telling lies and speaking the truth. Quranic reference (Quran 96:16): "A lying, sinful forelock (front of the head)." Professor Keith L. Moore notes that scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years. Earth and Iron [57:25] "Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice. And We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allah to prove who ˹is willing to˺ stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.”
New scientific discovery reveals that iron was not created from earth or earth material. Iron was sent down by burning stars traveling through space that had collided with earth. Earth’s core is mainly made of Iron. Chapter 57 of the Quran is Surah Hadeed meaning “Iron”. In a total of 114 chapters, the middle one is chapter 57. Two Seas Meet but Don’t Mix The Glorious Qur’an reads: •Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass. (20) •“He has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together. (19) •So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?(21) (Surat ar Rahman) These verses refer to two bodies of Water One salty and One Sweet water which meet, but do not transgress, or mix together. The two bodies of water have between them a barrier The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in South America are differentiated based on density, salinity, and polarity. Differences in these properties create a halocline, which is a layer of water with varying salinity. Normally, less dense water should be on top, but due to coercive force, caused by the Earth's rotation, the oceans maintain their positions. This force doesn't affect most things on Earth but influences the oceans, keeping them separate despite their different directions of rotation. This is similar to how surface tensile strength and soil strength differ, causing molecules to separate after collision. In the Gulf Stream and north of the Atlantic Ocean, thermoclines occur due to temperature changes, further differentiating the waters. An example of this phenomenon can be seen in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Mountains
[78:6-7] “Have We not made the
earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs?”
A book entitled Earth is a basic
reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. They hinder the shaking of the earth. Allah has said in the Quran:
[16:15] "And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you..."
Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.
*Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad have known of the true shape of mountains?
*Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? More Numerical Miracles
The human body contains 46 chromosomes. In the Quran, the word
"woman" ( )نساءis mentioned 23 times, and the word "man“ ( )رجالis also mentioned 23 times. This adds up to a total of 46 mentions, mirroring the number of chromosomes in the human body. The word Day is mentioned 365 time. The word Month is mentioned 12 times. In the Quran, the word "land" is mentioned 13 times, and the word "sea" is mentioned 32 times. This adds up to a total of 45 mentions, reflecting the 28.88% land and 71.11% water composition of the Earth. The companions of the Cave slept for 309 years, and the story of their companionship is narrated in the Quran using a total of 309 words. In Chapter 32 of the Quran, Surah As-Sajdah, the word “sajadah” appears in the 15th verse, which consists of exactly 15 words. Remarkably, when you add the digits of 186 (1+8+6), you get 15, which is the verse number containing the word "sajdah." More Numerical Miracles
[53:1] “By the stars when they fade away!”
In Chapter 53 of the Quran, named "An-Najm" (The Star), the word "star" appears in the 1st verse. The word “Earth" is mentioned in the 32nd verse of the chapter. The distance between the mention of "star" and “Earth" in Chapter 53 is exactly 861 letters, mirroring the distance between Sirius and Earth in centi light-years. Additionally, the radius of Sirius is 1.71 times the radius of the Sun, a ratio reflected in the chapters of the Quran: Chapter 91 (The Sun) and Chapter 53 (The Star) have a ratio of 1.71.
