UNIVERSE SCIENCE & GOD
Chapter-7: Scientific Facts in Qur’an
History records many miracles performed through Prophet Muhammad (peace
be upon him) but Allah in His Divine wisdom provided Qur’an, the ever living
sign (miracle) through Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which any one can
read by himself, to discover that Qur’an is the true word of Allah, the last
book of guidance, light and wisdom for the humanity till eternity. Islam
encourages reasoning, discussions and dialogue. The Qur’an provides reason and
rationale for the purpose, creation and existence of universe. It is the living
sign of God and truthfulness of His last messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him). Allah says: “O mankind! Verily there hath come to you a convincing
proof (Qur’an) from your Lord: for We have sent unto you a light (that is)
manifest. Then those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him soon will He
admit them to Mercy and Grace from Him and guide them to Himself by a straight
Way.”(Qur’an;4:174-175).
The Qur’an contains more than six thousand ayaats (‘Signs’), each verse (ayah), of Qur’an is a sign from the Lord, which speaks of the greatness of its originator. It is a historical fact that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was ‘Ummi’ i.e. unlettered (illiterate) (Qur’an;7:157). Revelation of Qur’an in Arabic, unmatched in its eloquence and beauty, through the mouth of un-learned (Isaiah;29:12) prophet is miraculous. The prophesy of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Qur’an (word of God, i.e. ‘words in his mouth’) is mentioned in Bible at Deuteronomy;18:18 ,19. The universal challenge of
Qur’an to produce even one ayah (verse) like Qur’an (Qur’an;2:23 ) is yet to be answered. This is
the only scripture in the world which is available to the humanity in its
original revealed form and will continue to be as such because Allah has taken
responsibility to guard it (Qur’an;15:9) . It is the only scripture which is
memorized by thousands of Muslims of all ages, nationalities, categories and
professions (doctors, engineers, scientists, clerics and common people) the
world over from last fourteen centuries, hence is transferred from generation
to generation accurately. It is the most recited book in the world.

Qur’an is not a book of ‘science’, but a book of ‘signs’ (ayaats), there are more than thousand verses of Qur’an referring to
various subjects of science, such as astronomy, physics, geography, geology,
oceanology, biology, botany, zoology, medicine, physiology, embryology as well
as general science, mostly un known to humanity at the time of its revelation,
fourteen centuries ago. Some verses related with universe are mentioned here:
“Soon shall We show them Our signs
in the universe and in their own selves, until it becomes clear to
them that this Qur'an is indeed the truth.
Is it not enough that your Lord is a witness over everything?”(Qur’an;41:53)
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined
together (as one unit of Creation) before We clove them asunder? (Big Bang) We
made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”(Qur’an;21:30 )
“Moreover He Comprehended in His design the sky and it had been (as)
smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together willingly or unwillingly.
"They said: "We do come (together) in willing
obedience."(Qur’an;41:11)
“Who hath created and further given order and proportion” (Qur’an;87:2).
“And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it
is We Who are steadily expanding it”. (Qur'an, 51:47)
“That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the pages of a book. As
We originated the first creation so We will regenerate it. It is a promise
binding on Us. That is what We will do.” (Qur'an, 21:104)
“They do not measure Allah with His true measure. The whole earth will
be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising the heavens folded up in His
right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they ascribe!”
(Qur'an, 39:67)
“He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any
discrepancy in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again-do you see any
gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and
exhausted!” (Qur'an, 67:3-4)
“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)
“No! I swear by the planets-that recede, that ride their course [and]
hide themselves.” (Qur'an, 81: 15-16)
“Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six eons
and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne...” (Qur'an, 7:54 ). When a six-eons period of time is
calculated according to the relativity of time, it equates to six trillion
days. That is because universal time flows a million million times faster than
time on Earth. Calculated in terms of years, 6 trillion days equates to
approximately 16.427 billion years. This is within the estimated range for the
age of the universe.
Black Holes: “And I swear by the stars' positions-and that is a mighty
oath if you only knew”. (Qur'an, 56:75-76), “When the stars are extinguished”,
(Qur'an, 77:8), “[I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq! And what will convey to you
what the Tariq is? The Star Piercing [the darkness]!” (Qur'an, 86:1-3)
The Skies with 'Woven' Orbits: "By heaven furnished with
paths;" (Quran; 51:7)
“Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support – you can see
that – and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made the Sun and
Moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He directs the whole
affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain about
the meeting with your Lord”. (Quran; 13:2)
A Red Rose in The Sky: The Rosette Nebula: When the Heaven shall be
cleft asunder, and become rose red, like stained leather. (Quran; 55:37)
The Sun Will Expire after Some Time: And the sun runs to a fixed resting
place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (Quran; 36:38)
“It is We Who have created you. Why, then, do you not accept the truth?
Have you ever considered that [seed] which you emit? Is it you who create it?
Or are We the Creator?” (Qur'an, 56:57-59)
The complex process of pregnancy from conception till child birth,
discovered recently is accurately narrated in Qur’an;23:13 -14.
Other Sciences:
Nuclear Science: Atoms can be divided;(Qur’an;10:61).
Geology: Mountains are like tent pegs firmly fixed providing stability; (Qur’an;78:6-7,21:31,79:32).
Oceanology: Darkness in depths of ocean; (Qur’an;24:40).
General Science: The water cycle;(Qur’an;39:21, 30:24,23:18).
Botany: Plants & Fruits have male and female; (Qur’an;20:53, 13:3).
Zoology: The bee and its skills; (Qur’an;16:68-69). Lifestyle and communication of ants; (Qur’an;27:17-18). Honey has healing for humankind; (Qur’an;16:69).
Biology: Creation of man from water;(Qur’an;25:54). Creation of living being;“ We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” (Qur’an;21:30). Importance of fingerprints: (Qur’an;75:3-4) and the existence of pain receptors in the skin: (Qur’an;4:56).
Embryology: Embryological stages; (Qur’an;23:12-14, 75:37-39,82:7-8). Embryo partly formed and partly unformed; (Qur’an;22:5). First sense of hearing developed then sense of sight; (Qur’an;32:9,23:78).
Sex determination factor for child; (Qur’an;53:45-46,75:37-39).
It is found that the Qur’anic information on science does not conflict with the established scientific facts. It may go against certain scientific hypothesis or theories, which are not based on facts as many a times, the science retracts its position.

It is found that the Qur’anic information on science does not conflict with the established scientific facts. It may go against certain scientific hypothesis or theories, which are not based on facts as many a times, the science retracts its position.
The scientific facts mentioned in Qur’an have been
discovered during last few centuries. But science has not advanced to a level
where it can confirm every statement of the Qur’an referring to scientific
information. According to Dr.Zakir Naik; suppose 80% of all that is mentioned
in the Qur’an has been proved 100% correct, while for the remaining 20%,
science makes no categorical statement, since it has not advanced to a level,
where it can either prove or disprove these statements. With the limited
knowledge through science available today, one cannot say for sure whether even
a single percentage or a single verse of the Qur’an from this 20% portion is
wrong. Thus when 80% of the Qur’an is 100% correct and the remaining 20% is not
disproved, logic says that even the 20% portion is correct. [The details of
scientific facts mentioned in Qur’an have been deliberated upon in the book
‘Qur’an and Science’ by Dr.Zakir Naik & "The Bible, The Qur'an and
Science" by Dr. Maurice Bucaille, a French doctor].
How an unlettered person brought up among the most backward desert Arabs, away from the centres of civilization and knowledge, could accurately provide the scientific information mostly discovered recently? It is God, the Creator alone Who could provide so accurate scientific information. Consequently as the scientific information mentioned in Qur’an is true then, by inference the other metaphysical information mentioned in Qur’an (correspondingly also in Bible) like; existence of God, angles, eschatology (death, judgment, heaven, hell, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind) must also be true. Humanity has much more to learn from Qur’an if they ponder over it (Qur’an;38:29).

Allah says: “This Book (Al-Qur'an) which
We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) is highly blessed, so that they may
ponder upon its verses and the men of understanding may learn a lesson from
it.”(Qur’an;4:82).
It’s amazing; there is no doubt that Qur'an is a living miracle
manifesting existence of The One Creator-Allah.

Conclusion:
Science is beginning to see the entire universe as a holographically
interlinked network of energy and information.
"Science is not the enemy of humanity but one of the deepest
expressions of the human desire to realize that vision of infinite
knowledge," "Our capacity for fulfillment can come only through faith
and feelings. But our capacity for survival must come from reason and
knowledge." Science, he warned, is not "as resilient as commerce,
religion, or politics. It needs careful nurturing." If humankind ultimately
abandons science, it would be "an error that might cost us our
existence." [Pagels]
As Einstein said, "Raffiniert
ist der Herrgott, aber boshaft ist er nicht!" or "The Lord is
subtle, but he is not malicious!"
And as the mystic Maulana Rumi wrote around 800 years ago, "If you
could get rid of yourself just once, the secret of secrets would open to you.
The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe would appear on the mirror
of your perception!"
Allah says in Quran: “Soon shall
We show them Our signs in the universe and in their own selves, until it becomes clear to
them that this Qur'an is indeed the truth.
Is it not enough that your Lord is a witness over everything?”(Qur’an;41:53);
“We did not create heaven and earth and everything between them to no purpose.
That is the opinion of those who disbelieve…” (Qur’an; 38: 27), “Verily in the
heavens and the earth are Signs for those who believe. (Qur’an; 45:3). “Let
there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever
rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold,
that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things.” (Qur’an; 2:255).
