Question-Answer Exchanges:

The following Question-Answer exchanges are some of the very thorough and beneficial regarding the Scientific Miracles of the Sun and the Moon in the Glorious Quran.

From https://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1311.msg4866.html#msg4866:

Question:

Assalamualykum.

'' Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.'' (25:61)

In the above Ayah Allah says He has placed great stars in the Heaven and also place therein a lamp (Sun) and a luminous moon. Okay I don't understand why Allah differentiated the stars and the Sun. Why does Allah only address the sun as a lamp while we know that there are much more bigger luminous stars than the sun in the universe? And does this verse mean there is only one Sun and one moon in the Heavens? But it's not possible as I have told you earlier that our Universe consists of many Sun like stars and also Moons.

Please clarify this.

Answer:

Hello brother Farhan!

I wanted to let you know that this verse (25:61) uses the word that is more accurately translated as constellations. So right away, you know that this verse is referring to the human perception of the sky! We see constellations and patterns in the sky, so it is our perception. So this verse is adhering to human perception to explain a beautiful phenomena of creation. Next you notice that the Quran says that Allah placed a burning lamp in the sky and a moon. In no way does this mean there is only one burning lamp or one moon, it is just stating that there is a burning lamp and a moon in the sky.

There are a few things that you need to notice about this verse. In no way does this verse say that the sun isn't a star, or that there is only one moon.

Next there is another verse in the Quran that addresses the STARS as being LAMPS, just as the sun is.

Quran 24:35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from [the oil of] a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.

Question:

thanks brother.

But can I have some more proof that Quran doesn't say that there is only one moon and one sun? Can you show anymore verse where Allah refers to the stars as lamps? And can you make it more clearer why do you think the verse is talking about human perception? It will Inshallah convince me.

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

Brother Mclinkin94, great answer akhi. May Allah Almighty bless you. Ameen.

I would like to add that Allah Almighty created the creatures on earth to live by day and night. Some planets, and even parts on this earth, have very long days cycles and very long nights cycles. Normal life on earth was designed by an equal rotation of the day and night. So by Divine Design, Allah Almighty placed the moon to be our night light, and for the sun to be our glorious star.

Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said the following:

‏91:1 والشمس وضحاها
‏91:2 والقمر اذا تلاها
‏91:3 والنهار اذا جلاها

"By the sun and its radiant light, and the moon that trails (and reflects) its light. By the day that magnifies and glorifies (جلاها) its brightness. (The Noble Quran, 91:1-3)"

Did you know our shining and glorious days, on a clear day, are a magnification of the sun's rays by our atomosphere? Outside our atmosphere, the universe is pitch black! And Allah Almighty Said that it is our day that magnifies and glorifies the sun's brightness. Please visit:

https://www.answering-christianity.com/sun_rays_miracle.htm

[067:005] And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

Question:

'' It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.''(36:40)

Enbiya/33
It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (of them) swim in an orbit.

Okay in some articles it is said that the above verses are talking about the motion of everything including sun,moon,earth,planets and stars. But how? Because the verses only mention sun, moon and earth? If I say Ibrahim and Ali, and Abdel, Ahmad and Uthman everyone is a good player or all are good players will it imply also the people whose names are unmentioned? Can anyone explain this in detail?

And does Quran say anything about earth's motion around the Sun? And Moon's motion around the earth?

Answer:

'' It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.''(36:40)

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

People were asking the Prophet, peace be upon him, if the sun and the moon were ever going to collide. The people thought that the sun and the moon were both running on one lane or line or orbit or path, and that they're together, and that if one slows down, then the other would catch up to it and they'd ultimately collide. Allah Almighty responded to this nonsense by making it absolutely clear that the sun and the moon are traveling in entirely different orbits, and that they could not catch up to each others and collide. So what the empty anti-Islamics of today try to prove as a scientific blunder in the Holy Quran turns out to be an accurate Scientific Statement and a Scientific Miracle of its time.

Also, the Holy Quran Said that the moon's orbit is S-Shaped. Allah Almighty never said the same about the sun's orbit.

Enbiya/33
It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (of them) swim in an orbit.

Same exact reponse as above. Yes, they're not on the same orbit. This is Scientifically estabilished. And again, the Holy Quran Said that the moon's orbit is S-Shaped. Allah Almighty never said the same about the sun's orbit.

Okay in some articles it is said that the above verses are talking about the motion of everything including sun,moon,earth,planets and stars. But how? Because the verses only mention sun, moon and earth? If I say Ibrahim and Ali, and Abdel, Ahmad and Uthman everyone is a good player or all are good players will it imply also the people whose names are unmentioned? Can anyone explain this in detail?

And does Quran say anything about earth's motion around the Sun? And Moon's motion around the earth?

Allah Almighty started the Noble Verse with speaking only about the sun and the moon, and the night and the day. But ended it by saying ALL swimming in their independent orbits. This is referring here to all celestial bodies in the Universe. This is further clearly proven in other Noble Verses where Allah Almighty talking about the orbits of the celestial bodies, and how once in space, traveling becomes in orbits. Please visit the following video of Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar. He thoroughly and beautifully explained this beautiful Miracle in the Holy Quran with ample examples and details:

https://www.answering-christianity.com/day_layer_reveals_the_sun_brightness.mp4

Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran declares that the earth is:

Spherical.

Suspended in Space.

Traveling in Space.

Revolves around itself, or its own axle?

Also, all celestial bodies are يعرجون Yaa'rujoon (traveling in orbits [2] [3] [4] [5]) in space. This video is about Noble Verses 32:5, 34:2, 57:4, 70:3-4 and others, and the Arabic words عرج , عروج , معارج and معراج that all refer to "going in an orbital and curvy path" in the Glorious Quran and our Islamic Texts.

The sun never ceases nor disappears [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]:

(Play video file: [1] [2])

Prophet Muhammad: The sun is in constant orbit always rising on people while setting on others.

عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت

"Ibn Abbas narrated on Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that the Prophet was asked: Where does the sun go after all of these sunsets? And where does it come from after all of these sunrises? The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied: It is in constant motion. It doesn't stop nor disappear. It sets on people and rises on others, and it sets on people and rises on others. So people would say it has risen while others say it has set."

3- Al-Ijaz Al-Ilmi Fe Al-Sunna Al-Nabawiyyah, Dr. Zahloul Al-Najjar, Page 132.

Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

       - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       - Is rotating around itself.
       - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       - Is in constant motion.
       - Is suspended in space.
       - Is swimming in space.
       - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
       - The sunsetless North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran [4].

At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets, and I showed the video for that, and also quoted the scientific sources for that. Also in the lands near by, it almost never sets either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands.

He saw the Aurora Lights covering:

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:

Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: �Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!� (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)

Visit also: Islamic proof that the sun prostrates to Allah Almighty when it is above Mecca.

Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest northern lands and people:

‏18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر

"Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"

Noble Verse(s) 18:91

Rodwell:

[018:091] Thus it was. And we had full knowledge of the forces that were with him.

Arabic (Read from right to left. Also, all png image files: [1] [2]):

‏18:91 كذلك وقد احطنا بما لديه خبرا

Prophet Muhammad "did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lights covering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journey to the farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this: "Va�lahei�arvegavinnuverkf�rageymslusk�rslyklakippuhringurinn" ?? This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:

Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"

Dhil = One who has.
قرنين Qarnayn = two horns.
Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn).
Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

I believe Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91 are prophetically linked together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين saw. Also visit:

Other pronunciations to "Dhil Qarnayn"ذي القرنين name: Zul-qarnain, Dhul Qurnain, Dhu'l Qarnain, Zulqarnain, Dhu'l-Qarneyn, Dhu'lkarnein, Dhul-Qarnain, Dhu'l Qarnain, Dhool Karnain, Zul-Qarnain, Dhoulkarnain.

- The Glorious Quran also speaks about many earths [5] and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran predicts 11 planets in our solar system [6].

In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:

Question:

Did Prophet Muhammad know think that the earth was spherical or flat?

Answer:

In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others have declared that they have discarded thousands of Hadiths:

www.islamic-awareness.org/Hadith/bukhari.html

"The two sahih collections did not gather the totality of the authentic ahadith as proved by al-Bukhari's testimony: "I have not included in my book al-Jami` but what is authentic, and I left out among the authentic for fear of [excessive] length."

"... Bukhari, collected twenty thousand of them, of which he rejected ten thousand, accounting them untrue. Of the remaining ten thousand he accepted only 7,275, declaring the rest to be untrustworthy. Abu Da'ud accepted as authentic only 4,800 rules out 50,000."

This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible. So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and people just dismissed them as nonsense. I have covered your question in great details at:

www.answering-christianity.com/egg-shaped_earth.htm

Question:

And the moon darkens.(75: 8 )

And the sun and the moon are joined,(75:9)

Can anyone explain the above verses? Why Allah says that the moon and the sun will be joined? As sun is much bigger than the moon , it should swallow it not get joined with it. I'm confused. I have read some articles where they say that through these verses Allah says that Sun will swallow the Moon before the Final Hour. But the verse uses ''JOINED'' not ''SWALLOWED''. Or is it talking about Solar eclipse? If so then the translation might me wrong.

Answer:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

Here are the Noble Verses:

‏75:7 فاذا برق البصر
‏75:8 وخسف القمر
‏75:9 وجمع الشمس والقمر
‏75:10 يقول الانسان يومئذ اين المفر

[075:007] At length, when the sight is dazed,
[075:008] And the moon is buried in darkness.
[075:009] And the sun and moon are joined together,-
[075:010] That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

I believe this is a Prophecy about a Great Eclipse that will take place. This actually makes sense, since when the Hour Comes, the Universe's orbits' path will turn into a spegetti mess on a massive scale, and all celestial bodies will be colliding violently with each others. So it makes sense that:

1- Our atmosphere will change, and hence it will greatly effect our visions, since the sun rays are all magnified and become glorious, as we know them, through our atmosphere as Allah Almighty mentioned clearly in the Glorious Quran:

‏91:1 والشمس وضحاها
‏91:2 والقمر اذا تلاها
‏91:3 والنهار اذا جلاها

"By the sun and its radiant light, and the moon that trails (and reflects) its light. By the day that magnifies and glorifies (جلاها) its brightness. (The Noble Quran, 91:1-3)"

Please visit: http://www.quransearch.com/sun_rays_miracle.htm

Lunar Eclipses do blur and permanently damage the eye's cornea:

The following pictures certainly prove the points above. Another point worth mentioning is that when the Hour Comes, the sun's rays might be much much more than what they already are today. There are several Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran that indicate that this will actually happen:

http://www.quransearch.com/water_shall_vanish.htm
http://www.quransearch.com/galaxy_explosion.htm
http://www.quransearch.com/end_of_times_volcanoes_caused_by_stretching_of_earth.htm
http://www.quransearch.com/ac20.htm#links

In the case, the lunar eclipse would be far greater than what it appears to be in the following pictures:

When watching the lunar eclipse outside, special Eye Shields are required to prevent blindness and/or permanent eye damages, especially to the cornea:

2- Because of the chaos in the orbits, our solar system's orbits will also go in chaos, and hence the sun's and the moon's orbits will cross each others, and an eclipse will occur as a result.

3- When the events in point #2 happen, then the sky will darken and the moon will be buried in darkness.

Great question dear brother, Farhan! I will add this on the website with more elaborations, Insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Question:

Assalamualykum.

I'm still confused about these verse:

And the sun and the moon are joined,(75:9)

Even if it is talking about solar eclipse, why it says that sun and moon will be joined? We know during Solar Eclipse, the moon comes in between the Sun and the Earth. Moon is not joined. Please, can you explain this in detail?

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,

It is possible that the moon will eventually be swallowed by the sun, along with all of our solar system's celestial bodies. We've seen above already how this Noble Verse is talking about the Great Lunar Eclipse when the Hour Comes. As to the language of the sun and the moon will be joined together, while it is about a lunar eclipse, but it could also be referring to the moon eventually leaving its orbit here around earth and be devoured by the sun. You see, the two immediate celestial bodies to us humans that our naked eyes could see up close and personal, from our view here on earth, are:

1- The moon.
2- The sun.

And they are the most relevant and vital celestial bodies for our life here on earth. So if Allah Almighty spoke in limited language about the sun and the moon, it doesn't limit the event to just them. But to us humans, since these two celestial bodies are what we see in considerable size and clarity from earth here, then they are the most relevant to us. Plus as I said, they are the most relevant and vital to our life here on earth as well. So Allah Almighty putting emphasis on the sun and the moon wouldn't mean that the Noble Verse is limited to just them.

As to the Arabic جمع (joined) in Noble Verse 75:9 above, it could very well be referring to being aligned together according to our view and perspective here on earth. جمع is both a noun and a simple past in Arabic:

1- جمع means a group for a noun.
2- جمع means joined together, came together, summoned together, brought together, put together for a simple past.

The Noble Word would be very appropriate and suitable if Allah Almighty spoke about the Great Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour Comes. And we see very clearly from the full context in Noble Verses 75:7-10, in the previous posts above, that Allah Almighty did indeed speak about a Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour comes.

I know I've written an article years ago about these Noble Verses. I will update it with these new posts today, Insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Comparison between what Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran with some scientific discoveries:

Most of the following were sent to me by brother Haleem; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.

In 1925, Edwin Hubble (after whom the Hubble Space telescope is named) provided the observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. Stephen Hawking (author of 'A Brief History of Time') states: ‘The universe is not static, as had previously been thought, it is expanding’.

Allah Almighty said 1400 years ago: "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it. (The Noble Quran, 51:47)"

From: https://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1027.msg3438.html#msg3438:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

I have thoroughly demonstrated the Glorious Quran's ample Scientific Notions using 7 dictionaries (Lisan Al-Arab among them) at: https://www.answering-christianity.com/detailed_meanings_of_scientific_words_in_verses.htm.

As to the Universe Expanding, the Arabic Word used by Allah Almighty is MOUSI'OONA (موسعون expanding) in Noble Verse 51:47, which is a verb of the noun WAASI'A (واسع vast). Now some might say that MOUSI'OONA only means "WE MADE IT VAST", and is not a contineous process. I respond to them by saying that the word would then have to be AWSA'NA (أوسعنا expanded or made bigger), and not the continueous action and verb MOUSI'OONA (موسعون expanding). MOUSI'OONA is clearly a verb that refers to a continuing expansion, or a happening and ongoing expansion.

Let me give you this example, from among many, that will further prove this beyond any doubt, insha'Allah. As a Muslim, you are familiar with the following Arabic terms:

1- Tawheed (توحيد The concept of Oneness, which implies Oneness of Allah Almighty).

2- Wahid (واحد One, and it could either mean the number one, or Allah Almighty is One).

3- Muwahhid (موحد Islamically implies that one who declares or believes that Allah Almighty is One, or in Arabic it also means a person who unites or makes a group as one).

Muwahhid موحد , in the Islamic context here, means that one who believes in the One True GOD Almighty, and CONTINUES TO BELIEVE IN GOD ALMIGHTY. It's a never-ending belief. It's a belief that only stops when the person declares otherwise.

Muwahhid موحد , in the Arabic context here, also means one who IS KEEPING THE UNITY! Me for instance keeping all fights on this board out to keep the Muslims in love and unity with each others makes me A MUWAHHID OF THE PEOPLE, under Islam, on this board. And it's a task that is ongoing, that is continuing.

Similarly, the noun WAASI'A واسع is on the same linguistic balance as Wahid, and the ongoing Muwahhid موحد is on the same linguistic balance as MOUSI'A موسع , which is a plural verb of MOUSI'OONA موسعون . So MOUSI'OONA here means an ongoing expansion, as in MUWAHHID here means an ongoing uniter and keeper of the unity and oneness of the group.

In Arabic, we have a linguistic balance, which basically helps to define how the word is to be read, and what it means, and what type it is (noun, verb, adjective adverb, etc....).

Another great example I can give you is the following two Arabic words:

1- MUHAYMIN (مهيمن, dominating over, ruling over, having an ongoing authority over, which was used for the Noble Quran being مهيمن over all previous Scriptures. See Noble Verse 5:48).

2- HAYMANA (هيمن, which can be both a noun and a simple past, which means dominance (noun) or dominated or ruled over (simple past)).

And like above, MUHAYMIN is on the same linguistic balance as MOUSI'A موسع , which is a plural verb of MOUSI'OONA موسعون . Just like MUHAYMIN means the Quran having a never-ending Authority over all previous Scriptures until Allah Almighty makes It expire, in Noble Verse 5:48, MOUSI'OONA also means an ongoing and never-ending expansion of the Universe until Allah Almighty causes the Cosmic Crunch, which is also mentioned in the Glorious Quran:

"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it.  (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"

And NASA has confirmed that:

1- There will be indeed a Cosmic Crunch when our ever expanding Universe finally collapses.

2- That our Universe is flat like a sheet of paper:

"The simplest version of the inflationary theory, an extension of the Big Bang theory, predicts that the density of the universe is very close to the critical density, and that the geometry of the universe is flat, like a sheet of paper. That is the result confirmed by the WMAP science." (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_shape.html)

Please visit: https://www.answering-christianity.com/cosmic_crunch.htm.

Some of Allah Almighty's Divine Attributes:

Another important point to note here is that Allah Almighty's Holy Names, which are also known as Allah Almighty's Divine Attributes, are NEVER-ENDING in existence and authority, and many of them are on the same linguistic balance as MOUSI'OONA. By the way, the "A" in MOUSI'OONA is a vowel character, and not a letter. So the Word is MOUSI'OON. Consider the following Holy Names:

1- AL-MUHAYMIN, the Dominant over all things, or the Protector.

2- AL-MU'MIN, the Guardian Of Faith.

3- AL-MUSAWWIR, the Fashioner.

4- AL-MUTAKABBIR, the Majestic.

5- AL-MUTHILL, the Dishonourer.

6- AL-MUJEEB, the Responsive.

7- AL-MUTA'ALI, the Most Exalted.

There are ample more Holy Names, but I think you get the picture. Please visit: Allah Almighty's 99 Holy Names.

I challenge any Arab, Muslim or non, to refute this. Bring me their best arguments! I already gave you the best one that was ever presented to me by a non-Muslim Arab, and how easily it was refuted.

Furthermore, have you guys look at the Numerical, and Embryological (to say the least) Miracles in the Glorious Quran? What metaphoric or figurative speech are the deniers of the Quran's Miracles talking about when they dismiss them with shallow statements? Please visit the following link and thoroughly go through it:

www.answering-christianity.com/ac20.htm#links

I openly challenge Muslims before non-Muslims to debate me here on any specific subject or point regarding this area. This is a humble challenge, and not hostile. The Truth of the Glorious Quran is irrefutable. Please do not follow Islam blindly. Bring your best or worst arguments that are bothering you here, and let's see if the Quran stands or falls. Nothing personal, dear brothers.

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.

the meaning of MOUSI'OONA (موسعون ) in Noble Verse 51:47 ,could be understood in two ways ..

either " expanding" which is the usual meaning of the word ,and it could mean " we are able " as well...

The Arabic word for "expanding it" is "musi-oon", which is derived from the Arabic word "muw-sai", which means "the expander". "musi-oon" literally mean "expanding" or "expanding it".

The existence of the Sun's Orbit:

Ancient people use to believe that the Sun revolves around the earth. Later, Nicholas Copernicus in 1512, laid his Heliocentric Theory of Planetary motion, which placed the sun motionless in the center of the solar system with all the planets revolving around it. Modern science tells us now that the sun too is not still, but is in motion.

The sun traveling at roughly 150 miles per second takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and 25 days to make one complete rotation around its own axis. See how beautifully and accurately God revealed this phenomenon in the Quran

"It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion. (The Noble Quran, 21:33)"

The Protective atmosphere to the Earth:

Earth is constantly bombarded by meteoroids that disintegrate upon the atmosphere and by lethal rays emitted by the sun. This UV radiation is absorbed by the Ozone layer forming the outer fringe of our atmosphere. Thus our atmosphere along with its Ozone layer is a protective covering for us. Life possibly could not have existed without it. How meticulously, does our Lord sustain and protect us against this atmospheric destruction.

"And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents. (The Noble Quran, 21:32)" This Noble Verse was translated by M.M. Pickthall. The Arabic word for "a roof withheld" is "saqfan mah-footha", which literally means a "protected roof".

The Dutch naturalist Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) produced lenses powerful enough to prove that many tiny creatures are not spontaneously generated but are produced from eggs. The science of Embryology as we know it today did not discover many of the detailed aspects of human embryonic development until the 1970s, using powerful microscopes, ultra sound and fiber optics technology. See how the Quran described the stages of embryonic development.

"He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer! (The Noble Quran, 16:4)" Fertilization takes place with only one sperm among several tens of million produced by man.

"Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; (The Noble Quran, 23:13)"

Implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus:

"Then We made the drop into a leech like structure...(The Noble Quran, 23:14)" This resemblance of the human embryo to a leech is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days 7-24, when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus.

"And He gave you hearing and sight and feeling and understanding. (The Noble Quran, 32:9)" The internal ears appear before the eyes, and the brain (the sight of understanding) differentiates last.

Dr. E. Marshall Johnson Professor of Anatomy, concluded after studying verses from Quran: ‘The Quran describes not only the development of external form but emphasizes also the internal stages - the stages inside the embryo of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science... so I see nothing in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved...’

Dr. Keith Moore, Professor of Embryology, after analyzing the verses of the Quran for three years comments: "It has been a pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about Human Development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God or Allah because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later."

Dr. Maurice Bucaille, French Physician, after studying Quran and comparing it with modern science, addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 proclaimed: "Our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Quran could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times."

Dr. Tejatet Tejasen, Professor of Anatomy, attending the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference, stood up and likewise announced: "From my studies and what I have learnt at this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be true. That can be proved the scientific way."

Allah Almighty said: "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? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
