A series of scientific miracles in the Quran

God says in the Holy Quran

53. Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?
Surah 41 :53


1-The Creation of The Universe in The Qur'an:


God says in the Holy Quran:
" Do not the disbelievers see that the heaven and the earth were joined together , before We clove them asunder? (surah 21 :30)" {Surah Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)


the Qur'anic ayah states that the heavens and earth were joined together (the Qur'anic term is "Ratq", in the sense of union). Taking into account the evolution of the universe since its birth, we will find the first event was the separation of matter and radiation when the universe was about 100 thousand years old. At that time, matter was formed of nuclei of hydrogen, helium, and some other elements as well as cluster floating in the 'radiation soup'. In this form of matter during the universe's infancy was the origin of all kinds of materials that exist now in the universe whether on earth, or overhead in the sky.
Radiation, or photons, began to lose temperature gradually as the universe continues to expand. The decline of the temperature reached a point when radiation filled all the universe. Thus the implication of heavens and earth being in union is that matter and radiation were merged together ("Ratq" in Arabic), as the origin of everything in heavens and earth. The "Fatq" (as mentioned in the Arabic text of the Qur'an) cleavage, it is their separation which came later, matter becoming the earth, the planets, the stars, the galaxies and other astronomical material, and radiation becoming the regions of the sky and the horizon of the whole universe, just as modern science informs us.

2- The Expansion of the Universe

God says in the Holy Quran:
“And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.” (Quran 51:47)

At the time of the revelation of the Quran, the word “space” was not known, and people used the word “heaven” to refer to what lies above the Earth. In the above verse, the word “heaven” is referring to space and the known universe. The verse points out that space, and thus the universe, happens to be expanding, just as Hubble’s Law states.
That the Quran mentioned such a fact centuries before the invention of the first telescope, at a time when there was primitive knowledge in science, is considered remarkable. This is more so considering that, like many people in his time, Prophet Muhammad happened to be illiterate and simply could not have been aware of such facts by himself. Could it be that he had truly received divine revelation from the Creator and Originator of the universe?

3- THE EARTH DOES ROTATE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT CONSCIOUS OF IT

God says in the Holy Quran:
88- When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving like clouds. Such is the artistry of God, who disposes of all things in perfect order. He is indeed fully aware of what you do.
27-The Ant, 88

The mountains’ features seem to make them the most stationary components of the earth’s surface. The idea of the unattainability of mountains led certain primitive mentalities to believe in polytheism and fancy that the mountains were the abode of divinities. The idea of mountain peaks being beyond man’s reach was an illusion, as was also their stationary aspect. The verse refers to this illusion and speaks of the motion of mountains like clouds. If the mountains that had a stationary aspect did move, it would follow that the earth itself also moved. The verse thus dismisses the idea of a fixed world entertained as a consequence of false perception, and informed the public of the time of the movement of mountains, likening them to clouds.
Galileo Galilei (Italian astronomer and physicist) argued that the earth moved and the sun stood in the center and because of what he said the ****** forced him to spend the last eight years of his life under house arrest.




although the bible said

Psalm 104 )New International Version)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...04&version=NIV

5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.

4- Orbits

While referring to the sun and the moon in the Qur’an, it is emphasized that each moves in a certain orbit.
( It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.They swim along, each in an orbit.) (Surat al-Anbiya, 33)


It is mentioned in another verse too that the sun is not static but moves in a certain orbit:
( And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.) (Surah Ya Sin, 38)

These facts communicated in the Qur’an have been discovered by astronomical observations in our age. According to the calculations of experts on astronomy, the sun is traveling at the enormous speed of 720 thousand kilometers an hour in the direction of the star Vega in a particular orbit called the Solar Apex. This means that the sun travels roughly 17 million and 280 thousand kilometers a day. Along with the sun, all planets and satellites within the gravitational system of the sun also travel the same distance. In addition, all the stars in the universe are in a similar planned motion.
That the entire universe is full of paths and orbits such as this one, is inscribed in the Qur’an as follows:
( By the sky full of paths and orbits.) (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 7)

5 - THE PROTECTED ROOF


God says in the Holy Quran what means:
We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away from Our Signs.."
(The Qur'an, 21:32)




This attribute of the sky has been proved by scientific research carried out in the 20th century: The atmosphere surrounding the Earth serves crucial functions for the continuity of life. While destroying many meteors-big and small-as they approach the Earth, it prevents them from falling to Earth and harming living things.
In addition, the atmosphere filters the light rays coming from space that are harmful to living things. The most striking feature of the atmosphere is that it lets only harmless and useful rays-visible light, near ultraviolet light and radio waves pass through. All of this radiation is vital for life. Near ultraviolet rays, which are only partially let in by the atmosphere, are very important for the photosynthesis of plants and for the survival of all living beings. The majority of the intense ultraviolet rays emitted from the Sun are filtered out by the ozone layer of the atmosphere. Only a limited and essential part of the ultraviolet spectrum reaches the Earth.
The protective function of the atmosphere does not end here. The atmosphere also protects the earth from the freezing cold of the space, which is approximately -270oC.
It is not only the atmosphere that protects the Earth from harmful effects. In addition to the atmosphere, the Van Allen Belt-the layer caused by the magnetic field of the Earth-also serves as a shield against the harmful radiation that threatens our planet. This radiation, which is constantly emitted by the Sun and other stars, is deadly to living things. If the Van Allen belt did not exist, the massive outbursts of energy called solar flares that frequently occur in the Sun would destroy all life on Earth.

6 - The Holy Quran on the darkness of the universe


God says in the Holy Quran
" Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein, (14) They would only say: "Our eyes have been covered: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery." (14:14-15)

The verse means if God opens a gate into sky for the disbeliever, they will say that our eyes are covered, that is, they are unable to see…why? Because of the darkness that engulfs the whole of the universe, the Holy verse says" …our eyes are covered"… what can you see when you cover your eyes…just try… it is darkness…what does modern science say about the darkness of the universe?

When the first space ship was launched for the first time, it carried back, among its findings, one of the most important discoveries; this was” the whole of the universe is completely immersed in darkness." Pictures of the earth from the moon shows that the earth is hanging in darkness, even pictures for the sun shows that it is hanging in the darkness of the universe.

7-The earth in quran is spherical

1- first proof
God says in the holy quran
He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportion): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night..(Al-Qur'an 39:5)
The Arabic word used here is 'Kawwara' meaning 'to overlap' or 'to coil' - the way a turban is wound around the head. The overlapping or coiling of the day and night can take place if the earth is spherical
2- second proof
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse). (Al-Qur'an 79:30)
The Arabic word for egg here is 'Dahaha' which means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth.
79:30 He made the earth egg-shaped (The Rashad Khalifa translation)

1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

So according to the bible: earth has four corners !!! is the earth: square ???

matthew 4:8 :""" Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. """

how could he see all the world from the mountain if the earth is spherical ??? this is not possible !!! ... it's possible just in one case: if the earth is flat !!!.

9 - The Description of the Barrier Between Two Seas


God says in the holy quran
(He has let free (maraja) the two seas meeting together. Between them is a barrier which they do not transgress.) (Surah 55 : 19-20)



Oceanographers, in the wake of the scientific progress in this age, have discovered the barrier between two seas. They have found that a barrier separates two neighboring seas. The barrier moves between them, and it is called by scientists “a front” compared to the front between two armies. By virtue of this barrier each sea retains its own characteristics which Allah (SWT) has assigned to it and which are suitable for the organisms living in that environment.

10-DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SUN, THE MOON AND THESTARS

We built seven firm layers above you. We installed a blazing lamp. (Qur'an, 78:12-13)

As we know, the only source of light in the Solar System is the Sun. With advances in technology, astronomers discovered that the Moon was not a source of light but that it merely reflects the light reaching it from the Sun. The expression "lamp" in the above verse is a translation of the Arabic word "sirajan," which most perfectly describes the Sun, the source of light and heat.






In the Qur'an Allah employs different words when referring to such celestial bodies as the Moon, the Sun and the stars. This is how the differences between the structures of the Sun and Moon are expressed in the Qur'an

Do you not see how He created seven heavens in layers, and placed the moon as a light in them and made the sun a blazing lamp? (Qur'an, 71:15-16)

In the above verse, the word "light" is used for the Moon ("nooran" in Arabic) and the word "lamp" for the Sun ("sirajan" in Arabic.) The word used for the Moon refers to a light-reflecting, bright, motionless body. The word used for the Sun refers to a celestial body which is always burning, a constant source of heat and light.

On the other hand, the word "star" comes from the Arabic root "nejeme," meaning "appearing, emerging, visible." As in the verse below, stars are also referred to by the word "thaqib," which is used for that which shines and pierces the darkness with light: self-consuming and burning:

It is the star that pierces through darkness! (Qur'an, 86:3)

We now know that the Moon does not emit its own light but reflects that reaching it from the Sun. We also know that the Sun and stars do emit their own light. These facts were revealed in the Qur'an in an age when mankind simply did not have the means to make scientific discoveries of their own accord. It was an age when peoples' knowledge of celestial bodies was severely restricted, to say the least. This further emphasises the miraculous nature of the book of Islam.

in the other hand the bible said

Isaiah 30 )New International Version)

26 The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.
