The Noble Quran's Divine Claims:
The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These
are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth
and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific
statements and notions had been proven to be in
perfect
agreement with science and our modern-day scientific
discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's
(peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood.
The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its
Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and
again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and
discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.
Allah Almighty Said: "We will
soon show them Our signs in the Universe
and inside their selves, until it will become quite
clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your
Lord that He is a witness over all things?
(The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
With this said, let us now look at what Allah Almighty Said in the Noble
Quran:
Noble Verse(s) 99:1-99:4
Yusuf Ali:
[099:001] When the earth
is shaken to her (utmost)
convulsion,
[099:002] And the
earth throws up her burdens
(from within),
[099:003] And man cries
(distressed): 'What is the matter with her?'-
[099:004] On that Day will she declare her tidings:
Arabic
(from right to left):
99:1
اذا زلزلت
الارض زلزالها
99:2
واخرجت الارض
اثقالها
99:3
وقال الانسان مالها
99:4
يومئذ تحدث اخبارها
There are several scientific claims that were made by Allah
Almighty:
1-
Earthquakes
do occur before volcanoes. Notice how Allah
Almighty in the Noble Verses said that the earth will quake first and
then it will eject its heavy loads.
2-
After
earthquakes, if volcanoes were to occur, they in turn cause for the earth to
eject its heavy metals/rocks from its core.
3-
The earth's
athqal (heavy weights) are
not located on the earth's surface, but rather in the deep
core of the earth, and they can only be *naturally* brought out through
a violent eruption (volcano):
"and the earth then disgorges its
charges (athqalaha)"
(99:2).
4-
When the entire earth quakes, all of its athqal (weights) will be
brought out because 100s, if not even thousands, of volcanoes will
simultaneously violently erupt.
(a)- No Volcanoes were
witnessed in Arabia 1,500 years ago:
It is
first of all important to know that Arabia has no volcanoes, and almost no earthquakes.
It is definitely confirmed that there are no earthquakes in the region where the
Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina reside (the places where Prophet Muhammad lived
most of his life in). It is also confirmed that Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, never saw a volcano
in his entire life, and most likely he never felt an earthquake either.
Yet, we see in the Glorious Quran a Divine Statement from Allah Almighty that
Says that earthquakes happen before volcanoes.
Is this Divine Statement Scientifically True? Let's find out.
2-
The Scientific Proofs:
It is an established scientific fact that earthquakes happen before
volcanoes. This is a geological scientific fact that no one on earth would
argue against. It is indeed amazing to see such Scientific accuracy in the
Glorious Quran about the earth shaking first before throwing out its heavy
burdens (through volcanoes) in a Holy Book that was revealed to a person who
lived in a time where his region never witnessed a single volcano, and hardly
any earthquake, if any actually even happened.
(Emphasis below are
mine. Also, see below for more Noble Verses and translations
regarding athqalaha.)
THE EARTH DISGORGES ITS
CHARGES
When
the earth is convulsed with its quaking and the earth then disgorges
its charges (athqalaha)
and man asks, "What is wrong with it?", on that Day it will impart all
its news. (Qur'an,
99:1-4)
The word "zilzal"
in Arabic means earthquake, or tremors, and the word "athqalaha" means "charges,
heavy burdens." When one considers
the above verses in the light of the first meaning, it can be seen that
reference is being made to an important scientific fact about
earthquakes.
Surat az-Zilzal 2 mentions the earth disgorging
its charges. Indeed, as a result of research in recent years, it has
been realised that there are heavy metals at the centre of the Earth,
and that these appear as a result of movements on the Earth's surface. According to geologists' calculations, as
the Earth cooled, heavy and dense substances sank to its centre, while
lighter ones rose to the surface. For that reason, the
Earth's crust consists of the least heaviest substances (basalt and
granite rocks), while heavy metals (nickel and iron) are found in the
core. As a result, the subsurface, which consists of molten metals, is
made of a material that is much heavier and denser than the surface.
During earthquakes, the heavy substances below the
surface have an opportunity to rise, and the Earth
thus disgorges its charges, as revealed in the Qur'an.
Moreover, those regions where metal reserves are most concentrated are
also those with the greatest volcanic activity. These scientific
findings, which emerged only recently, and as a result of wide-ranging
research, are just some of the scientific facts indicated by Allah in
the Qur'an.
Article #3:
Animals do detect earthquakes prior to their occurrences:
"Can Animals Sense
Earthquakes?
The belief that animals can predict earthquakes has been around for
centuries.
In
373 B.C., historians recorded that animals, including rats, snakes and
weasels, deserted the Greek city of Helice in droves just days before a
quake devastated the place.
Accounts of similar
animal anticipation of earthquakes have surfaced across the centuries
since. Catfish moving violently, chickens that stop laying eggs and
bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported. Countless
pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting
strangely before the ground shook—barking
or whining for no apparent reason, or showing signs of nervousness and
restlessness." (Source)
Article #4:
Earthquakes do occur before volcanoes:
"Do volcano eruptions cause
earthquakes?
Some, but not all,
earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are
along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are
too. However, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the
plates not the movement of magma.
Most
earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of
magma. The magma exerts pressure on
the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the
crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it
makes a small earthquake. These earthquakes are usually to weak to be
felt but can be detected and recorded by sensitive instruments. Once
the plumbing system of the volcano is open and magma is flowing through
it, constant earthquake waves, called harmonic tremor, are recorded
(but not felt)." (Source)
Article #5:
The earth's heaviest metals are in its core:
"Sometime after Earth
formed, nearly 5 billion years ago, it must have been completely
molten. During that time, heavy metals like iron sank toward
the center." (Source)
Article #6:
"1. How was the planet
Earth formed?
Chunks of rock and frozen liquids in orbit around the newly forming Sun
converged and melted together to form the planets. Each time a
planetisimal (see the Introduction) hit the rotating chunk of material
that was to become Earth it melted in to the existing mass. The mass
was hot and the metals were molten so the heavy metals like iron sank toward
the center of the mass while lighter metals like silicon
floated near the surface." (Source)
Article #7:
"How do volcanoes affect
climate?
Sulfur-rich volcanic eruptions that eject material
into the stratosphere can have significant effects
upon climate. These effects generally consist of tropospheric cooling
and stratospheric warming. Aersols have a lifetime of 1-3 yrs, so
tropospheric cooling will occur over this time frame. The eruption of
Mt. Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines in 1991 caused a short-term
global cooling of 0.5°C. Volcanic aerosols injected into the
stratosphere can provide surfaces for ozone-destroying reactions.
Therefore, large, sulfur-rich eruptions (e.g. Mount Pinatubo ) may
result in decreased ozone concentration. Abundance of ozone may affect
ultraviolet and longwave radiative fluxes, although no clear
relationship between ozone abundance and global temperature has been
established.
Over the course of millions of years, large volumes of volcanic ash
deposited in oceans can provide iron to seawater. This iron can promote
biotic activity to remove CO2 from the oceans, and hence from the
atmosphere, resulting in global cooling. Over the course of weeks to
years, ongoing production of ash from volcanoes may locally change
climate by modifying the “dustiness” of the local
atmosphere. Recent work suggests that large eruptions may trigger El
Nino climate events.
However, Quaternary eruptions in New Mexico are unlikely to have had
significant climatic affects because the eruptions either (1) may have
emitted sulfur, but were of low volume and explosivity (mostly basaltic
eruptions); or (2) were of high volume and explosivity, such as the
Bandelier Tuff, but didn't contain sulfur in the magma and hence
didn’t emit sulfur during the eruption." (Source)
Article #8:
"If we go
out to any oceanic crust and pick up a rock, it will be made of basalt.
This is a type of rock that is about 50% silica, with relatively
enriched magnesium, iron and calcium compared to most continental
rocks. Typically a fresh (unweathered) basalt is pretty dark or black, due
to the presence of the heavy metals.
Basalts are the typical rock type that will result when any chunk of
the mantle is melted and the lighter material separated and then
cooled. Since most of the Earth's surface is covered by basaltic ocean
floor, it is the most common rock found on the surface of the Earth.
In contrast to
andesitic rocks that are erupted in arc volcanoes,
molten basalt is a low viscosity, runny magma type. This is because
basalt is relatively low in silica (which makes andesite magmas
sticky). As a result, basalt builds up very broad volcanoes called
shield volcanoes, with layer upon layer of flows and underground
injections. The viscosity is about the same as that of chunky soups, so
steep-sided volcanic edifices cannot be built up by basaltic eruptions.
This runny nature of basalt magmas is also a factor in preventing rift
volcanoes from building up large pressures for explosive eruptions. The
volcanoes tend not to plug themselves up with sticky rock nearly as
effectively as in arc volcanoes. Combined with eruption under water,
which causes the gasses and other volatiles to remain in solution in
the rock, effusive eruptions result." (Source)
Article #9:
"We went looking for rocks
that were thrown out of the volcano about 1,000 years ago. Work in past
months had shown that a wide variety of material was exploded from
Kilauea then, mostly cherry-sized scoria and other fine-grained
material. However, several times explosions were
apparently more violent or powerful. They ejected large,
heavy
rocks, much like those from the 1924
explosions that litter the surface around Halema`uma`u today. The
question we asked was how far out were such rocks thrown?"
(Source)
Article #10:
"April 15, 2003 -
"Kilauea's Explosive Past .... and Future"
Kilauea is known as a drive-in volcano, but sometimes it can be a
volcano to run away from as fast as possible! Energetic explosions of
solid rock occur every few decades to centuries, about as often as
Mount St. Helens erupts. The sizes of these explosive eruptions range
from mere snorts (Pu‘u ‘O‘o in 1987,
1991, and 1996) to powerful steam explosions in the caldera
(Halema’uma’u in 1924). Even more impressive is a
series of explosions that significantly impacted areas beyond the
caldera (Keanakako‘i explosions in 1500-1790)
and
truly mammoth explosions that shot heavy rocks more than 13 km (8
miles) into the air (the newly
recognized Kulanaokuaiki tephra, ca. AD 800). Don Swanson, geologist at
the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, describes these events,
speculates on what caused them, and lists some potential consequences
to the community when they occur in the future." (Source)
And these "heavy rocks"
are mostly made up of metals and heavy metals as clearly mentioned above.

from where they expelled you;
persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the
Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you,
slay them -- such is the recompense of unbelievers --
[002:191] You may kill those who wage war against you, and you may
evict them whence they evicted you.
Oppression is worse than murder. Do not fight them at the Sacred
Masjid, unless they attack you therein. If they attack you, you may
kill them. This is the just retribution for those disbelievers.
Rodwell:
[002:191] And kill them wherever ye shall find them, and eject them from whatever place
they have ejected you; for civil discord is
worse than carnage: yet attack them not at the sacred Mosque, unless
they attack you therein; but if they attack you, slay them. Such the
reward of the infidels.

اخرجت in Noble
Verses
99:1-4 means to expel or to bring out from
within. When Allah Almighty said that the earth will bring
out or unload its athqal after the earthquake (zilzal) in Noble Verses
, then He clearly and indisputably meant the weights that the earth is
carrying inside itself.
(c)-
"athqal"
اثقالها in other Noble Verses means weights
and loads:
In Arabic, "weight lifting," as in working out and lifting
weights, is called "rafe'a athqal."
Let us look at Noble Verses
16:7 and 29:13 to
see what "athqal"
means in the Noble Quran:
Noble
Verse(s) 16:7

your heavy loads to lands that ye could not
(otherwise) reach except with souls distressed: for your Lord is indeed
Most Kind, Most Merciful,

Rodwell:
[029:013] But
their own burdens, and burdens beside their own burdens
shall they surely bear: and inquisition shall be made of them on the

There is no
question!
There is no question that athqal
means loads and/or weights. And again, when Allah Almighty
said that the earth will bring out or unload its athqal after the
earthquake (zilzal) in Noble Verses
99:1-4, then He clearly and indisputably
referred to the weights that the earth is carrying inside itself.
4- Conclusion:
Again, the Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements
and notions. These are statements of Allah Almighty
describing how He created things on earth and in the
Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific
statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect
agreement with science and our modern-day
scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran
be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle
and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the
test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous
language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with
Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not
known to man 1,500 years ago.
Indeed, Allah Almighty did claim the following proven
scientific statements:
1-
Earthquakes
do occur before volcanoes. Notice how Allah
Almighty in Noble Verses
99:1-4 said that the earth will quake first and
then it will eject its heavy loads.
2-
After
earthquakes, volcanoes do occur, which in turn cause for
the earth to eject its heavy metals/rocks from its core. Animals
by then would've all fled long before this happens as scientifically
proven above.
3-
The earth's
athqal (heavy weights) are
not located on the earth's surface, but rather in the deep
core of the earth, and they can only be *naturally* brought out through
a violent eruption (volcano):
"and the earth then disgorges its
charges (athqalaha)"
(99:2).
4-
When the entire earth quakes, all of its athqal (weights) will be
brought out because 100s, if not even thousands, of volcanoes will
simultaneously violently erupt.
Geologist have already proven that when earthquakes do occur
in the areas where the earth's heaviest metals reside in its core, then
the heaviest and most devastating volcanoes are likely to erupt in
those areas.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, lived in the middle of
the desert where there were no earthquakes and no volcanoes. He
most definitely never witnessed a volcano in his entire life, and most
probably never witnessed an earthquake either! Most
definitely, volcanoes never happened in Arabia during his
days. Again, in fact, according to
Dr.
Zaghlool Al-Naggar, one of the world's top seven
geologists,
the Holy city of Mecca is sitting on top of the most protected area on
earth from any volcanic eruption. The
fact that earthquakes happen before volcanoes, and the fact that the
earth's heaviest and most devastating volcanoes occur in the areas
where the earth's heaviest metals (athqal) reside in its core clearly
and indisputably shows that Allah Almighty's Divine Claim in Noble
Verses
99:1-4 was indeed scientifically accurate.
Other reasons why we have a scientific Miracle in Noble
Verses 99:1-4:
The key thing here to notice and remember is Allah Almighty's
mentioning of the earth's quake and violent eruption. Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, who might have witnessed an earthquake (very highly doubtful), but
definitely never witnessed a volcano, could not have come up with this
statement on his own about the earthquake happening first and then the
volcano next. Also, in light of the facts that Allah Almighty
did mention that He sent down iron from space,
made the
earth egg-shaped [2] [3],
made earth into
seven layers, the
earth's faults that cause earthquakes, Mountains
prevent the earth from shaking,
and talked about the earth's motion
in space and around
its own axle in numerous Noble Verses [1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5],
which had all been scientifically proven to be true,
makes it even more and more convincing that we indeed have a beautiful
Divine Package of Scientific Noble Verses that talk about earth and
many of the things that are tied to it.
Moon
Orbit Miracle:
This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon
nor for the night to outstrip the day; each one is swimming in a sphere.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"
"We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and INSIDE THEIR SELVES,
until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it
not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all
things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty alone
for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for
us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah
Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and
Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.

This article shows the Mathematical Codes of Iron in the
Noble Quran and Science, and shows how Science confirmed Allah
Almighty's Divine Claim in Noble Verses 17:49-50
about the dead converting into rocks and iron.
In case the web site is down, you can access the article on my site.
This is not the only time Allah Almighty used a notion
for astronomy. In another Noble Verse, He described the shape
of the earth's orbit around the sun
as egg-shaped which had also been confirmed by science.
This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon
nor for the night to outstrip the day; each one is swimming in a sphere.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"
[079:031] From
it, He produced its
own water and pasture.
Below in this article, we'll see the ample proofs that the earth was
indeed SPREAD OUT SPHERICALLY.
And Scientists have proven that water does indeed originate from its
planets when they're hot enough and are located in the Goldilocks
Zone when orbiting their sun.
As thoroughly detailed in
this detailed article,
I thoroughly demonstrated using 7 encyclopedic dictionaries that
DAHA دحاها
means:
1- To push.
2- To throw.
دحا (daha): دفعه و رمى به (dafa'aahu wa ramaa bih)
Caused it to move, pushed it, or threw it.
دحا الصبي المِدحاةَ أي دفع الصبي المِدحاةَ Daha the
boy the rolling toy, means the boy pushed the rolling toy.
3- To make
something roll,
as inDAHA
the barrel from the top of the hill,
which means he rolled it down from the top of the hill. Also, this
is where the Arabic word DAHRAJA is derived from, which means to
make something roll down.
4- To make
something round.
I used several examples forROUND
AND BULGED TUMMY,
and making round objects. I even used a Hadith from Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he said:
In Prophet Muhammad's Hadith: كان لأسامة بطننٌ مُندحٌ
اي متسع Osama had a round and big tummy.
Also the dictionary says:
الدحداح هو المستدير الململم The dahdaah is the
person who is ROUND and STOCKY.
و بطنٌ مُنداحُ أي خارخٌ مُدوّر His tummy is
mun-daahun means it is OUT THERE AND ROUND مُدوّر.
So when Allah Almighty DAHA THE EARTH, it means that
Allah AlmightyEXPANDED
IT SPHERICALLYthrough
rotating around itself and moving in its orbit in space. And this
is why Allah Almighty Said after that (after He DAHAHA), He brought
forth from itits
water and pasture.
Science has proven this to be 100% accurate and True:
1-
Water was brought forth from the earth - Science confirmed it and
the Holy Quran claimed it 1400 years ago:
Note:
In Article #3'S video in
the article, the collision of the iron-planet made our earth
EGG-SHAPED, according to the Scientists and the
video.
2-
Our earth expanded and produced its own water:

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."

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].
- The
Glorious Quran also speaks about many
earths[5]
and not just earth. - The Glorious Quran predicts 11
planets in our
solar system [6].
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:
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:
Also, ample proofs for several of
the Glorious Quran's Arabic words' definitions, from my Arabic-English and English-Arabic
dictionaries, that prove that the earth is indeed spherical,
rotating around its axle, and is suspended in space, are provided in
the following important link:
The Miracle of
the Plate
Tectonics, mountains' formation, and the earth's
Spherical Expansion:
My detailed proofs about the earth spread out
spherically are listed here:
Now, in Noble
Verses 79:30-32, Allah Almighty Says:
And the earth after that He has spherically expanded
Brought forth from it its water and pasture
and theMOUNTAINS
HE SET FIRMLY.
Indeed, scientists have proven that:
1-
The earth has spherically expanded.
2-
The earth produced its water and pasture on a large scale as a
result.I
have posted a Scientific Video from History Channel proving this:
3-
The mountains due to this expansion were formed;due
to the plate tectonics movements,
which caused for land to be pushed on top of each other, which
formed mountains and hills. You can learn about this at:
The word "zilzal"
in Arabic means earthquake, or tremors, and the word "athqalaha" means
