SCIENTIFIC REVELAITONS Now...

SCIENTIFIC REVELAITONS Now, a non-Arab may rightly wonder about the claim of the literary miracle. He does not know Arabic, so miraculous aspect of the language might not be appealing to him, or even to uneducated or half-educated modern Arabs. The reason for the latter is the deterioration of the colloquial Arabic and its distance from the classical standards. Obviously in this era we are in need of a miracle in science, telling us what is in the heavens and within ourselves.

The Qur'an, although not a scientific text, reveals many secrets and wonders of the heavens and of ourselves as part of its call to believe in the Creator of Universe. Now any person who wants to be a biologist, physicist or astronomer needs to study for at least twenty years aided by sophisticated machines, tools and libraries and under proper supervision. Then he might be able to break through, and discover some of the hidden facts of the nature.

The Qur'an not only reveals many secrets of the Universe but also is not confined to a special field of the science. "See you not how Allah created seven heavens one above the other? And made the moon a light therein, and the sun a lamp?" (71:15-16) The moon is a solid object which reflects light, hence it is a "light". But the sun is a source of energy and light, so it is a "lamp". "The sun and the moon follow (their courses) according to a reckoning".

📌(55:5) The sun is not static but moving in a path exactly computed. Remember the middle-ages' belief that the sun is the center of the universe and the earth is a plane. Remember that for contrary belief scientists were burned alive or imprisoned. And see that the Qur'an declared these facts 1400 years ago. "And the sun is moving on the course determined for it.

That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing; and the moon, we have measured for it stages (to traverse) till it becomes like the old a date-stalk; it is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, not can the night outstrip the day; and each swims along in (its own) orbit". (36:38-40) "Then turned He to the heaven which was yet a smoke, and said He unto it and unto the earth 'Come both of you, willingly or reluctantly'. They said: We come willingly".

(41:11) The heaven was smoke- which means dark and containing gas and steam. It is the exact description of the so-called cloud in heaven as most reliable recent discoveries reveal.
