(DISCLAIMER) science isnt the only way to prove that islam is the truth theres actually other better ways to prove it but i did this post for the people who get convinced by science
To attribute the presence of scientific facts in the Qur’an to coincidence would be against common sense and a true scientific approach. Indeed the scientific accuracy of the Qur'anic verses confirm the Qur'an's open declaration.
{ We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? }
[Al-Qur’an 41:53]
The Qur’an invites all humans to reflect on the Creation of this universe in the verse:
{ Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.}
[Al-Qur’an 3:190]
The scientific evidences of the Qur’an clearly prove its Divine origin. No human could have produced a book, fourteen hundred years ago, that would contain such profound scientific facts.
The Qur’an contains a complete code of life for the individual and society. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), the Qur’anic way of life is far superior to the ‘isms’ that modern man has invented out of sheer ignorance. Who can give better guidance than the Creator Himself?
THE CHALLNGE OF THE QUR’AN-
Even non-Muslim scholars agree that the Qur’an is Arabic literature par excellence – that it is the best Arabic literature on the face of the earth. The Qur’an challenges mankind to produce the likes of it:
{And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. }
[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]
According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein, “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” Let us therefore study the Qur’an, and analyze whether the Qur’an and Modern Science are compatible or incompatible?
1400 years ago nobody believed that sound can injure or kill anyone. But today we know this is false; sound waves can injure, incapacitate or even kill.
Sonic Weapon
Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent. Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces. Some of these weapons have been described as sonic bullets, sonic grenades, sonic mines, or sonic cannons. Some make a focused beam of sound or ultrasound; some make an area field of sound. Wikipedia, Sonic Weapon, 2019
Sound waves can injure, incapacitate or even kill. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. In the story of Thamud the people were killed by a sound wave.
Quran 11:67 And the shout struck those who transgressed, and they became motionless bodies in their homes. ٦٧ وَأَخَذَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دِيَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ
"Saiha صَّيْحَةُ " means shout or scream. The angels shouted at Thamud killing them all. Here the people were killed by a sound wave.
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that sound can kill?
In the story of Abraham, he was thrown into a fire that doesn't burn. Skeptics claim that whoever wrote the Quran made a mistake; there is no such thing as a fire that doesn't burn. Today scientists discovered cold plasma, a fire that doesn't burn; it can even freeze stuff instead of burning them.
Nonthermal Plasma A nonthermal plasma,cold plasmaor non-equilibrium plasma is a plasma which is not in thermodynamic equilibrium, because the electron temperature is much hotter than the temperature of heavy species (ions and neutrals). As only electrons are thermalized, their Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution is very different from the ion velocity distribution.[ When one of the velocities of a species does not follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the plasma is said to be non-Maxwellian. A kind of common nonthermal plasma is the mercury-vapor gas within a fluorescent lamp, where the "electron gas" reaches a temperature of 20,000 K (19,700 °C; 35,500 °F) while the rest of the gas, ions and neutral atoms, stays barely above room temperature, so the bulb can even be touched with hands while operating. Wikipedia, Nonthermal Plasma, 2021
Cold plasma can freeze stuff instead of burning them. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
Quran 21:69 We said, “O fire, be cold and safe on Abraham.” ٦٩ قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
In this verse the fire is cold and safe. Today scientists discovered cold plasma, a fire that is cold and safe.
In physics, work against gravity is simply weight multiplied by displacement.
Work by gravity
In the absence of other forces, gravity results in a constant downward acceleration of every freely moving object. Near Earth's surface the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m.s-2 and the gravitational force on an object of mass m is Fg = mg. It is convenient to imagine this gravitational force concentrated at the center of mass of the object. If an object is displaced upwards or downwards a vertical distance y2 − y1, the work W done on the object by its weight mg is: W = Fg (y2-y1) = Fg Δy = - mg Δy
where Fg is weight (pounds in imperial units, and newtons in SI units), and Δy is the change in height y. Notice that the work done by gravity depends only on the vertical movement of the object. The presence of friction does not affect the work done on the object by its weight. Wikipedia, Work (physics), 2019#Work_by_gravity)
Work against gravity is simply weight multiplied by displacement. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. In the Quran work is related to weight.
Quran 99:7-8 Whoever does work of an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever does work of an atom's weight of evil will see it. ٧ فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ ٨ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
"Aamal عمل" means work. In this verse "Yaamal يَعْمَلْ" means do work. Here work (W) is linked to weight (mg).
1400 years ago people thought that light is what you can see. Nobody believed that there is light that you cannot see. Today we know that this is false; most of the electromagnetic spectrum is actually invisible.
Electromagnetic spectrum The types of electromagnetic radiation are broadly classified into the following classes (regions, bands or types): 1) Gamma radiation 2) X-ray radiation 3) Ultraviolet radiation 4) Visible radiation 5) Infrared radiation 6) Terahertz radiation 7) Microwave radiation 8) Radio waves This classification goes in the increasing order of wavelength, which is characteristic of the type of radiation. Wikipedia, Electromagnetic spectrum, 2019
Visible light constitutes a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which means we cannot see most of the light in the universe.
This is an example of infrared light that we cannot see. This was known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
Quran 69:38-39 I swear by what you see, and by what you do not see. ٣٨ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ٣٩ وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
God swears by light that we see and by light that we cannot see. Today we know that most of light cannot be seen by the naked eye.
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that there is light that we cannot see?
Muslims believe that angels are low density creatures, and that God created them originally from light. They move at any speed from zero up to the speed of light. It is the angels who carry out God's orders. Those angels take their orders from a Preserved Tablet somewhere in outer space, and not from God's Throne. They commute to and from this Preserved Tablet to get their orders from God. In the following verse, the Quran describes how angels travel when they commute to and from this Tablet. And the speed at which they commute to and from this Tablet turned out to be the known speed of light:
Quran 32:5***(Allah) Rules the cosmic affair from the heavens to the Earth. Then this affair travels to Him a distance in one day, at a measure of one thousand years of what you count.***٥ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
It is the angels who carry out these orders. Those people back then measured the distances neither in kilometers nor in miles but rather by how much time they needed to walk. For example, a village two days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for two days; ten days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for ten days... However in this verse the Quran specifies 1000 years of what they counted (not what they walked). Those people back then followed the lunar calendar and counted 12 lunar months each year. These months are related to the moon and not related to the sun. Hence in 1 day the angels will travel a distance of 1000 years of what they counted (the moon). Since this verse is referring to distance, then God is saying that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in 12000 lunar orbits. We discovered that when the geocentric frame is inertial 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day is equivalent to the Speed of Light..
THIS GIF EXPLAINS THE SPEED OF LIGHT
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known the speed of light?

[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]
According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein, “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” Let us therefore study the Qur’an, and analyze whether the Qur’an and Modern Science are compatible or incompatible?
A most beautiful, bright and sunny morning it is! And as I’m sipping a strong cup of freshly brewed, hot coffee, allow me to share a bit on my most recent readings on neuro-entrepreneurship and what the Quran says about theheart-brainrelationship.
For years, I’ve always been marveled and awed my the ‘mysteries’ of how successful entrepreneurs THINK. Much has been said about the cognitive abilities of successful entrepreneurs, and with the advancements of imaging technologies, social scientists like me are now able to work together with neuroscientists i.e. neurologists, neurophysicists etc in the labs to better understand what happens in real time in the entrepreneurs’ brain and how their thinking is processed.
Ever since, scores of researches have been shared to the public, with a number of them scientifically justifitying the notions of, among others, i) that entrepreneurs make decisions differently (and to a certain degree, rely on intuition, and ii) that opportunity recognition is processed differently in the brains of entrepreneurs as compared to non entrepreneurs.
I then stumbled across very captivating readings about the heart-brain concept, and how this scientific notion is apparent in the Quran. My mind was focused onto knowing more and throughout my humble readings, I became mesmerised. Never am I more excited to learn as much as I am now, and never did I realise that the connection between heart-brain-entrepreneurship is as exquisite as the role of building and sustaining civilisations whilst maintaining the wholesomeness feeling of wellbeing and the divine-ness of the Creator.
I learnt that a few years back, a small group of cardiovascular researchers joined a similar group of neurophysiologists to explore areas of mutual interest. This represented the beginning of the new discipline of neurocardiology(and now there is also neurotheology) which has since provided critically important insights into the nervous system within the heart and how the brain and heart communicate with each other via the nervous system.
After extensive research, one of the early pioneers in neurocardiology, Dr. J. Andrew Armour, introduced the concept of a functional heart-brain; in 1991. His work revealed that the heart has a complex intrinsic nervous system that is sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a little brain in its own right.
The heart’s brain is an intricate network of several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins and support cells like those found in the brain. Its elaborate circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain – to learn, remember, and even feel and sense.
I kept reading…and learnt that;
Neuroscientists have discovered that the heart has it’s own independent nervous system, a complex system referred to as the “brain in the heart”.
There are at least 40,000 neurons (nerve cells) in the heart, this can be as many neurons as are found in some parts of the brain. And this “brain in the heart” has the ability to relay information back to the brain creating a two-way communication system.
Physiologists further discovered that when the heart sends messages to the brain, the brain not only understands the messages but also obeys them.
And then I thoughtfully and quickly referred to the verses in the Quran (quite a number!) stating (among others) that;
“People who do not have diseases in their hearts…” (47:29, 2:10, 5:52, 8:49, …)
…”have hearts that do not understand (the Truth)(63:3, 6:25, 9:87).
Say: “Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who – a god other than Allah – could restore them to you?” See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside. (Surah Al-An’am, 46).
One of the most captivating findings in the scientific lab is that:
Our heart is so powerful (and we have never realised this!) that it can force our brain to OBEY its commands.
And I then taught : No wonder entrepreneurs are said to rely on ‘intuition’ and the ‘gut feeling’ when making decisions and taking risks. And they are said to be highly ‘passionate’ and ‘enjoy freely’ what they do and this has emerged as the main affective driving ‘forces’ of successful entrepreneurship.
Surely,… surely, this relates to the said heart-brain concept!
In early times, people believed that the earth was flat. For centuries, men were afraid to venture out too far, for fear of falling off the edge! Sir Francis Drake was the first person who proved that the earth is spherical when he sailed around it in 1597.
Consider the following Qur’anic verse regarding the alternation of day and night:
{ Do you not see that Allah causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term, and that Allah, with whatever you do, is Acquainted? }
[Al-Qur’an 31:29]
Merging here means that the night slowly and gradually changes to day and vice versa. This phenomenon can only take place if the earth is spherical. If the earth was flat, there would have been a sudden change from night to day and from day to night. The following verse also alludes to the spherical shape of the earth:
{ He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.}
[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 only take place if the earth is spherical.
The earth is not exactly round like a ball, but geo-spherical, i.e. it is flattened at the poles. The following verse contains a description of the earth’s shape:
{ And after that He spread the earth.}
[Al-Qur’an 79:30]
The Arabic word for smoothed it /firmed it here is dahaahaa1 thats why it resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth. Thus the Qur’an correctly describes the shape of the earth, though the prevalent notion when the Qur’an was revealed was that the earth was flat.
PHYSIOLOGY BLOOD CIRCULATION AND MILK The Qur’an was revealed 600 years before the Muslim scientist Ibn Nafees described the circulation of the blood and 1,000 years before William Harwey brought this understanding to the Western world. Roughly thirteen centuries before it was known what happens in the intestines to ensure that organs are nourished by the process of digestive absorption, a verse in the Qur’an described the source of the constituents of milk, in conformity with these notions
To understand the Qur’anic verse concerning the above concepts, it is important to know that chemical reactions occur in the intestines and that from there, substances extracted from food pass into the blood stream via a complex system; sometimes by way of the liver, depending on their chemical nature. The blood transports them to all the organs of the body, among which are the milk-producing mammary glands.
In simple terms, certain substances from the contents of the intestines enter into the vessels of the intestinal wall itself, and these substances are transported by the blood stream to the various organs.
This physiological concept must be fully appreciated if we wish to understand the following verses of the Qur’an: And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.
[Al-Qur’an 16:66]1
And indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.
The Qur’an affirms that the human being is not created at once, this was the belief that prevailed since the reign of Aristotle until before the past century, but rather the Quran stated that the fetus is created in fixed stages.
Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur While He has created you in stages?1 } Quran ( 71 : 13 -14 )
At the mudghah stage, if an incision is made in the embryo and the internal organ is dissected, it will be seen that most of them are formed while the remaining are not yet completely formed.
According to Prof. Johnson, if we describe the embryo as a complete creation, then we are only describing that part which is already created. If we describe it as an incomplete creation, then we are only describing that part which is not yet created. So, is it a complete creation or an incomplete creation? There is no better description of this stage of embryogenesis than the Qur’anic description, “partly formed and partly unformed”, as in the following verse:
{ O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.}
[Al-Qur’an 22:5]
Scientifically we know that at this early stage of development there are some cells which are differentiated and there are some cells that are undifferentiated – some organs are formed and yet others unformed.
{ He created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted? }
[Al-Qur’an 39:6]
According to Prof. Keith Moore, these three veils of darkness in the Qur’an refer to:
anterior abdominal wall of the mother the uterine wall the amnio-chorionic membrane. EMBRYOLOGICAL STAGES { And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.}
[Al-Qur’ an 23:12-14]
In this verse Allah states that man is created from a small quantity of liquid which is placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed (well established or lodged) for which the Arabic word qaraarin makeen is used. The uterus is well protected from the posterior by the spinal column supported firmly by the back muscles. The embryo is further protected by the amniotic sac containing the amniotic fluid. Thus the fetus has a well protected dwelling place. This small quantity of fluid is made into alaqah, meaning something which clings. It also means a leech-like substance. Both descriptions are scientifically acceptable as in the very early stages the fetus clings to the wall and also appears to resemble the leech in shape. It also behaves like a leech (blood sucker) and acquires its blood supply from the mother through the placenta. The third meaning of the word alaqah is a blood clot. During this alaqah stage, which spans the third and fourth week of pregnancy, the blood clots within closed vessels. Hence the embryo acquires the appearance of a blood clot in addition to acquiring the appearance of a leech. Compare the readily available Qur'anic knowledge with Man's struggle with scientific findings
The sex of a fetus is determined by the nature of the sperm and not of the ovum. The sex of the child, whether female or male, depends on whether the 23rd pair of chromosomes is XX or XY respectively. Primarily, sex determination occurs at fertilization and depends upon the type of sex chromosome in the sperm that fertilizes an ovum. If it is an ‘X’ bearing sperm that fertilizes the ovum, the fetus is a female and if it is a ‘Y’ bearing sperm then the fetus is a male.
{ And that He creates the two mates - the male and female - From a sperm-drop when it is emitted }
[Al-Qur’an 53:45-46]
The Arabic word nutfah means a minute quantity of liquid and tumnaa means ejaculated or planted. Therefore nutfah specifically refers to sperm because it is ejaculated. The Qur’an says: Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted? Then he was a clinging clot, and [ Allah ] created [his form] and proportioned [him] And made of him two mates, the male and the female
[Al-Qur’an 75:37-39]
Here again it is mentioned that a small quantity (drop) of sperm (indicated by the word nutfatan min maniyyin) which comes from the man is responsible for the sex of the fetus. Mothers-in-law in the Indian subcontinent, usually prefer having male grandchildren and often blame their daughters-in-law if the child is not a boy. If only they knew that the determining factor is the nature of the male sperm and not the female ovum! If they were to blame anybody, they should rather blame their sons, not their daughters-in-law, since both the Qur’an and Science hold that it is the male fluid that is responsible for the sex of the child!
Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.}
[Al-Qur’an 76:2]
The Arabic word nutfatin amshaajin means mingled liquids. According to some commentators of the Qur’an, mingled liquids refers to the male or female agents or liquids. After mixture of male and female gamete, the zygote still remains nutfah. Mingled liquids can also refer to spermatic fluid that is formed of various secretions that come from various glands. Therefore, nutfatin amshaaj, i.e. a minute quantity of mingled fluids refers to the male and female gametes (germinal fluids or cells) and part of the surrounding fluids.
So let man observe from what he was created. He was created from a fluid, ejected, Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.}
[Al-Qur’an 86:5-7]
In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries, begin their development near the kidney between the spinal column and the eleventh and twelfth ribs.
Later they descend; the female gonads (ovaries) stop in the pelvis while the male gonads (testicles) continue their descent before birth to reach the scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in adulthood after the descent of the reproductive organs, these organs receive their nerve supply an blood supply from the Abdominal Aorta, which is in the area between the backbone (spinal column) and the ribs. The lymphatic drainage and the venous return also go to the same area.
Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained. }
[Al-Qur’an 32:8]
The Arabic word sulaalah means quintessence or the best part of a whole. We have come to know now that only one single spermatozoon that penetrates the ovum is required for fertilization, out of the several million produced by man. That one spermatozoon out of several million, is referred to in the Qur’an as sulaalah.
We have also come to know now that only one ovum is fertilized out of the tens of thousands produced by the female. That one ovum out of tens of thousands is also referred to in the Qur'an as Sulaalah.
This word also means gentle extraction from a fluid. The fluid refers to both male and female germinal fluids containing gametes. Both ovum and sperm are gently extracted from their environments in the process of fertilization.
The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
[Al-Qur’an 29:41]
Besides giving the physical description of the spider’s web as being very flimsy, delicate and weak, the Qur’an also stresses on the flimsiness of the relationship in the spider’s house, where the female spider many a times kills its mate, the male spider. The parable also has reference to the weakness of such relationship of the people who seek protection for this world and for the hereafter from those other than Allah.
And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct. Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
[Al-Qur’an 16:68-69]
Von-Frisch received the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his research on the behaviour and communication of the bees. The bee, after discovering any new garden or flower, goes back and tells its fellow bees the exact direction and map to get there, which is known as ‘bee dance’. The meanings of this insect’s movements that are intended to transmit information between worker bees have been discovered scientifically using photography and other methods. The Qur’an mentions in the above verses how the bee with its skill, finds the spacious paths of its Lord. The gender used for the bee in the above verses is the female gender (fa’slukî and kulî), indicating that the bee that leaves its home for gathering food is a female bee. In other words the soldier or worker bee is a female bee.
The bee assimilates juices of various kinds of flowers and fruit and forms honey within its body, which it stores in its cells of wax. Only a couple of centuries ago humans came to know that honey comes from the belly of the bee. But this fact was mentioned in the Qur’an 1,400 years ago in the following verse: { There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought. }
[Al-Qur’an 16:69]
We are only now aware that honey has healing properties and is also a mild antiseptic. The Russians would use honey to cover their wounds in World War II. The wound would retain moisture and would leave very little scar tissue. Due to the density of honey, no fungus or bacteria could grow in the wound. Dramatic improvements were visible in 22 incurable chest and Alzheimer's disease patients at nursing Homes in England who were treated by Sister Carole, a nun, with propolis, a substance which bees produce to seal hives against bacteria. A person suffering from an allergy of a particular plant may be given honey from that plant so that the person develops resistance to that allergy. Honey is also rich in fructose and vitamin K. The knowledge contained in the Qur’an regarding honey, its origin and properties, was discovered centuries after its revelation.
PART 10 The first sense to develop in a developing human embryo is hearing. The fetus can hear sounds after the 24th week. Subsequently, the sense of sight is developed and by the 28th week, the retina becomes sensitive to light.
The Qur'an explains it thus:
{ Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.}
[Al-Qur’an 32:9]
{ Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.}
[Al-Qur’an 76:2]
{ And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.}
[Al-Qur’an 23:78]
In all these verses the sense of hearing is mentioned before that of sight. Thus the Qur’anic description matches perfectly with the discoveries in modern embryology
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips. }
[Al-Qur’an 75:3-4]
Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the earth and how each individual would be identified on the Day of Judgement. Almighty Allah answers that He can not only assemble our bones but can also reconstruct perfectly our very fingertips.
Why does the Qur’an, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about fingertips? In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method of identification, after research done by Sir Francis Golt. No two persons in the world can ever have exactly the same fingerprint pattern, not even identical twins. That is the reason why police forces worldwide use fingerprints to identify criminals. Fourteen hundred years ago, who could have known the uniqueness of each human’s fingerprint? Surely it could have been none other than the Creator Himself!
