g) Light in the Moon is merely a Reflection It is known that the sun is a star that generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion, and that the moon which does not give off light itself, merely reflects the light received from the sun. The Qur’an testifies the above fact: “Blessed is the One Who placed the constellations in heaven and placed in it a lamp (SIRAJ) and a moon, giving light (MUNIIRA)”.

(25:61) Here the moon is defined as a body that gives reflection of light (Muniira), while the sun is compared to a blazing lamp or torch (Siraj). h) High Altitude It is infact a highly common place reflection on the discomfort experienced at high altitude, which increases the higher one climbs, that is expressed in the Qur’an: “Those whom God wills to guide, He opens their breast to Islam.

While those whom He wills to let straying, He makes their breath closed and constricted, as if they had to climb up the skies”. (6:125) * * Who informed the Prophet that by climbing up in the skies, the pressure increases and breathing becomes difficult? * * i) Honey Bees Concerning bees, the Qur’an says: “Your Lord inspired the (female) bee, choose your dwelling in the hills, in the trees and in what (man) build. Eat of all fruit and follow the ways of your Lord in humility.

From within their bodies comes a liquid of different colours where is cure for men”. (16:68-69) The Qur’an refers that the worker-bees who are searching for food are females. The verbs used in Arabic refer to female bees. This is very amazing. For all along, until only recently, people imagined that the “soldier-bees” were males. j) Development of the Embryo The Qur’anic description of certain stages in the development of the embryo corresponds exactly to what we today know about it.

After ‘the thing which clings’, the Qur’an informs us that the embryo passes through the stage of ‘chewed flesh’, then tissue appears and is clad in flesh: “We fashioned the thing which clings into a chewed lump of flesh and We fashioned the chewed flesh into bones, and We clothed the bones with intact flesh”. (23:14). It was only during the nineteenth century that people had a slightly clearer view of this question.

All the afore mentioned and many other modern scientific concepts found abundantly in the Glorious Qur’an, that was revealed 14 centuries ago, with utmost accuracy and free from any error, prove beyond any iota of doubt the divine source of its revelation. Previous…
