Assalamaleykum Arahmatullahi va Barakatu. Welcome to the proof that Islam is the Truth. Where in these articles we’ve been discussing some of the amazing scientific miracles of the Quran. Information in a book 1400 years old & every Muslim believes is the uncreated word of Allah the creator of the heavens & the Earth revealed for the benefit & the guidance of all humanity. But it’s not just the claim that we make. It’s something that we can back up with evidence & we believe that for any rational human being, any thinking person who takes the time & takes the energy & takes the effort to look at these evidences & examine them dispassionately will come to know that truly Islam is what it claims to be: the religion that has been revealed by God, the Creator for the guidance & the benefit of all the mankind. 

And in our last article we were talking about some amazing facts in the Quran concerning the Universe, how the Quran had described the Universe as expanding, that the Universe has a common origin & that the Universe that we know it a as today was formed out of a gaseous mass. And how all of this information was only discovered recently. Lets look at some more verses of the Quran concerning cosmology. One of the verses we want to mention is that Allah is the one who created the night & the day, the Sun & Moon. Each one is travelling in an orbit with its own motion. Now it’s interesting that the Arabic word referring to movement with self-propelled motion is the verb “sabaha” & “yeswaboona” is what the actual text mentions.

Now this implies the motion that comes from body in question itself. So if it takes place in water it means to swim, if it means on land it means to walk. So the implication is the movement is coming from the body itself. So if it was talking about something in space it would mean to rotate, it would itself rotate. Now this is amazing. The Quran is talking 1400 years ago about the Earth & the Moon & the Sun rotating. If you are perhaps thinking that the Sun is static – it’s not. The Sun as does the Earth, as does the Moon they all rotate. Of course the Earth however rotates around the Sun, the Sun rotates around its own axes. So it is quite correct a saying & of course the Earth is in orbit round the Sun, & also by the way the Sun is also in orbit. But it is in orbit round the centre of the galaxy.

In fact it is believed that ultimately if the Sun keeps going in its orbit it would ultimately end in what is known as the solar apex, a sort of position that it would end up in the centre of the galaxy. So what we find here is that the Quran is talking about things that no one could really know this information 1400 years ago, it is scientifically accurate. the idea of the alternation of the night & the day, & of the spherical nature of the Earth is actually implied in the 31st sura & the 29th ayat of the Quran: “How you not seen how Allah merges the night into the day & the day into the night?” And in another verse the 39th chapter in the 5th ayat or the 5th verse the Quran mentions: “He coils the night upon the day & he coils the day upon the night. And this word is used in the Quran, in the original Arabic is “kowarra”. Kowarra in its original meaning means the action of coiling a turban around your head. Coiling a turban, so it describes kowarra, how the night & the day coils one round the other. And you can find that description of coiling a turban around your head. Turning a turban, so it describes kowarra how the night & the day coils one round the other. 

And you can find that description of the interpenetration of one sector by another is expressed in the Quran just as if the concept of the Earth’s roundness had already been conceived at the time. Which is except for a few, there were a few philosophers who had theorised that the Earth was round but it was not really a generally accepted idea. But it is something that is implied in the Quran, & certainly we can gather this today from our present day knowledge. It’s a very another interesting aspect that in one place in the Quran the word that is used to describe the shape of the Earth is the same word that is used to describe the egg of the ostrich. Now looking at this globe for example you may imagine that the Earth is completely spherical.

But in reality that is not the case. The Earth is slightly misshaped, it is not a perfect sphere, & in fact slightly elongated, rather like an ostrich egg. So that it is incredible also that the Quran is describing that shape of the Earth. At least this is a possible interpretation of those verses. Certainly we can say that none of these things actually contradict present modern scientific knowledge. In fact if you think about it, if we were only to bring a book 1400 years old & you were to find absolutely no contradictions, & I don’t mean here to say that the Quran affirms anything. Let’s say it doesn’t affirm any scientific knowledge, let’s say it didn’t even pre-empt any scientific knowledge. Lets say there was nothing special in the Quran, which of course is not the case because I have spent a couple of articles showing you exactly how amazing the Quran is when it talks about aspects of the Universe & the world in which we live. 

But let’s just say those things were not there. Let’s just say there was nothing that contradicted present day knowledge. That itself alone would be remarkable. Because the superstitions & the beliefs that people had 1400 years ago were remarkable. For example the ancient Greeks believed that the Milky Way, the Milky Way is the band of stars that you can see in the sky, in fact it constitutes our Galaxy. They believed that the Milky Way was produced when a particular Greek Goddess was breastfeeding her child, & the child bit her breast & the milk spilled out & that’s how the Milky Way got to be in the Universe. That’s their legend of how the Milky Way came to be there. Of course today you’ll probably will have a good laugh at that & how totally ridiculous it is. How come the Quran does not have any stories like that? How come the Quran does not have any fantastical descriptions of the origin of the Universe & the Earth? We find it doesn’t. We find that what it says can be perfectly, easily & sensibly reconciled with modern scientific knowledge. No. Indeed many of the verses pre-empt what scientists have discovered today. 

As earlier  mention today,we were talking about some of the amazing scientific facts in the Quran that have been only discovered recently with modern scientific knowledge. Yet these things were mentioned in a book 1400 years old. Let’s look at some more of the amazing statements in the Quran. In the tenth sura in the fifth ayat, the fifth verse it’s said: “It is He”, meaning God, Allah, “who made the Sun a shining lamp & the moon as a light & measured out their stages.” Now the Quran describes the Sun as “siradge”. Now the word “siradge ” means torch, means, it’s something that generates its own heat & light, whereas the Moon is described as “anoor”. Now “anoor” means a light that is originating from another source. And of course this is the correct understanding. The Moon reflects the light of the Sun.

It’s common knowledge today but not necessarily so in the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Let’s see what one of the respected cosmologists & scientists in the field of astronomy had to say when he was shown some of the statements in the Quran concerning his field of expertise. Yushidi Kusa who is a director of the Tokyo observatory in Tokyo in Japan. And this is what he said: “I say, I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in the Quran, and for us modern astronomers who have been studying a very small piece of the universe. We have concentrated our efforts for understanding that very small part. Because by using telescopes, we can only see a very few parts of the sky without thinking about the whole universe. 

So by reading the Quran and by answering to questions, I think I can find my future way for investigating of the universe.” What he is saying is that the one who is writing the Quran, the one who is revealing the Quran, the one who is speaking the words of the Quran is talking as if he is looking at the whole Universe together. as opposed to the scientists who concentrate on observing this bit or that bit of the Universe which is what most astronomers do. Who is it that sees the whole Universe altogether? Who is it who sees all things in all places in all times except Allah, the mighty, the wise? So these are some of the amazing scientific facts & we are going to move on also to another area that particularly interested me, because when I was at school one of the subjects that I studied was geography & a sub subject of that was of course geology.

And I do remember when I first read the Quran twenty years ago, and it was reading the Quran that motivated me to embrace Islam, one of the things that stuck in my head & I remember it until today was coming across the descriptions in the Quran of mountains. So let’s go through some of the things the Quran says about mountains. For example in the 78th sura in verses six to seven Allah says: “Have We not made the Earth an expanse & the mountains stakes?” The word that is used here is “otad”, “otad” meaning stake is like the peg of the tent. So the peg of the tent goes into the ground, it holds the rope that holds the tent, so you have a small part of the peg sticking up from the ground but the majority of the peg is inside the ground. The Quran also says in the 31st sura or the 31st chapter in the 10th verse: “And Allah has cast into the mountains standing firm so that it does not shake with you.” Now today with modern sonar technology they have been able to bounce sound waves down through the Earth’s crust. And according to different rates according to which the sound waves are reflected back & are measured they can tell the different density in the Earth’s crust as supposed to what is hard & what is soft.

What is from the crust & what is from the magna? And what they have discovered with this technology is exactly what the Quran was saying 1400 years ago. That the mountains have roots, the mountains like the peg of the tent, not only do they go up, go above the Earth surface, the mountains go deeply into the Earth core. And they act it has been theorised as stabilisers; they help to stabilise the Earth surface. And there are two ways in which they do that. Number one because the Earth is composed of tectonic plates. The crust of the Earth is actually made of different plates. And it is the movement of these plates that causes earthquakes. When these plates move against each other the friction of that movement causes earthquakes. 

And that’s also what they think how continental drift has happened; originally they believe all the continents were one continent & that because of plate tectonics it moved. But the Quran is saying is that mountains act as stabilisers, they help to stabilise the Earth’s crust & this is something that has actually been theorised by modern geologists. There is another way in which the mountains may act as a stabilising factor. That is to do with the rotation. May be if you try & spin something you will find that if it is not really spherical it will not, it will start to rotate & then it will start to wobble out of shape. And it is possible that the mountains actually act as a counterbalance to keep the Earth’s rotation smooth. i do stress of course that these are theories but it is very interesting what the Quran is saying 1400 years ago & that it seems to be pre-empting the ideas & the knowledge that is being produced by modern day science. Certainly it is a fact that is established that the mountains have roots & the Quran is saying that mountains are like “otad”, the pegs of a tent. So this is a remarkable scientific fact. It’s one I remember sticking in my mind when I first read the Quran about 20 years ago. So these are one of the remarkable things. 

Also the Quran mentions some aspects of animal or plant life. For example the 16th chapter of the Quran is called sura an-Nahl which means the sura of the bee. And one of the aspects of the Quran, in this sura it is talking about the bee. And it’s very interesting that the word that is used in the Quran for the bee that flies around gathering honey or gathering the nectar for the honey it is used in the female form. The gender that is used is feminine. Although until recently it was believed that the bees were actually soldiers, they were males, & the ruler of the hive was a king. But as it happens in fact we know that the bees are indeed female & they are owned or they are headed by a queen. That’s why we are saying the queen bee.

It’s also true that the Quran mentions that plants have different genders & the winds are a means of fertilisation for the plants. So in the 15th chapter of the Quran in the 22nd verse it says that “We”, meaning the Allah, the Creator, this is the We of nobility, it does not mean that there is more than one God of course, it is We in the sense that Royalty uses the term “we” it’s a sense of honour & nobility, so the “Royal We” they call it, “We sent forth the winds that fesantei” that means that they fertilise things. These are all recently discovered things. Also we find the Greek philosopher Democritus who lived from 460 to 361 BC. He advanced the theory that matter was composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

And they believed that this was the base upon which all of things were made & there was nothing smaller than the atom. However modern science has discovered that atom is in fact devisable & the atom has been split & the atom itself is composed of smaller elements. The Quran says 1400 years ago in the 34th chapter & the 3rd ayat or the 3rd verse: “He is aware of an atoms weight in the Heavens & on the Earth & even anything smaller than that.” Meaning there is something smaller than atom, & Allah, God is aware of it, every single thing. There is another thing I want to mention. 

God mentions in the Quran some amazing things about the human beings, & one of the things is about our nerves. Here is a very frightening & teriffying passage of the Quran. It’s mentioned of the 75th chapter in ayats 3 to 4: “Does not Mankind think that we can not assemble his bones. Nay we are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.” God is telling us he can recreate us on this day, this terrifying day, this frightening day the Day of Judgement. he is able to recreate you even if you are dust, even your bones to the very tip of your finger. Why “the very tip of your finger”? Of course you’ve all heard of fingerprinting, haven’t you? Every single human being’s fingerprint is unique. Why did God mention the fingerprint? Why did God mention the tip of the finger? This is the uniqueness of the human being. God is telling us: “Look! I can recreate you even to this fingertip, that is the power that I have. Even to your most unique attribute – I can create you to that. Be mindful, be careful. I will create you again on the Day of Judgement & I will judge you & ask you about every single thing that you have done.

This is not common knowledge. How did anyone 1400 years ago know about fingerprinting? And Allah warns us in the 4th chapter of the Quran in the 56th verse: “Those who reject our signs, We shall soon cast them into the hellfire & as often as their skin is roasted through We shall change them for fresh skins, so they may truly taste the penalty, for Allah is exalted in power, the Wise.” This is a very frightening description of the Hellfire. God is going to burn the skin & recreate the skin & burn the skin, so that people in the hellfire will taste the punishment. Why is the Quran saying that? It’s only recently been known & discovered that when the skin is burnt a person does not feel any pain. That’s why when a person suffers severe burns a doctor will prick the skin to see if the person can feel the pain. 

If he feels pain there are still nerve receptors left if he does not that means he skin has been so badly burnt he can not feel pain. So if God put people in the hellfire & the hell burnt their skins after that they will not feel the pain. so Allah is going to recreate the skin again so that they keep on tasting the punishment. It is a very severe warning from the One who has created you. He knows you better than you know yourself & He is warning you in His book of His knowledge & His ability that if you do not believe in Him & follow His guidance, see what is waiting for those people who reject the faith. 

My dear listeners, we have only one more theme we want to mention. The tree of Zakoon which will be the food of sinners & it will be like boiling oil that will boil in their bellies like the boiling of scalding water. “Taste this” Allah says in the Quran, “verily you are pretending to be the Mighty, the generous.” Look at those Arabic people pretending to be mighty, pretending to be generous, but taste the zee tree of Zakoon that will boil in your belly. And it says they will drink water that cuts their bowel to pieces. It is very interesting. The thermal receptors are not present in the intestines but it is in the bowels. And the contents & the receptors in the bowels are highly sensitive. It’s a very-very sensitive area & that is where pain is initiated. It’s not a common knowledge 1400 years ago but it is a fact that is mentioned in the Quran as a stark warning to all those people who reject faith in God.

God has combined the scientific facts with the severe warnings of those who disbelieve in Him. Our invitation is to invite you to His mercy, to His guidance & His forgiveness by accepting these truths, the proof that Islam is the Truth. Join us in the next episode for some amazing prophesies of the Prophet Muhammad in the Quran. Until then may God’s peace & blessings & guidance be with you, Assalamaleykum Arahmatullahi va Barakatu.

Assalamaleykum Arahmatullahi va Barakatu, may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon all of you. Welcome back to the proof that Islam is the Truth. And we’ve been talking about some of the amazing miracles of the Quran & the scientific miracles, those facts that can be found in the Quran, that leave us awe-struck. How could this information be in a book 1400 years old? And we were looking at those verses in the Quran concerning the development of the human foetus in the womb & we were also reading a Hadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad may Allah’s peace & blessings be upon him.

When the Prophet Muhammad mentioned that the 42 nights have passed over the conceptus Allah sends an angel to it who shapes it, makes it ears & eyes & skin & flesh & bones & then he says: “Oh, Lord, is it a male or a female?” And your Lord decides what he wishes & an angel records it. So it is at the 42nd day or just after the 40th day that it only then becomes identifiable. And this is a fact. This is a scientific fact. And it’s very interesting, it’s true also that the Prophet Muhammad may God’s peace & blessings be upon him mentioned that there are some things that the knowledge of it is only known to Allah Subhana Wa Ta Allah.

And one of the things that Prophet mentioned is what is the sex of the child in the womb. As one of the Muslim scholars pointed out is that this is only up until the 40th day. Because after the 40th day according to this authentic Hadeeth of the Prophet Sallalahu Alleyhem Va Salam, may God’s peace & blessings be upon him, the angels know , the angel was in the womb shaping the conseptus, shaping the embryo, asks: “Is it a male or a female?” And so from that time of course the angel knows & if the angel knows, as the scholar pointed out, anyone can know. So this is also a truly amazing statement of scientific accuracy & this is information that in reality we have only begun to discover recently.

We also find that the Hdeeth mentions the correct time for the recognisable growth of the features described & the sex of the foetus can only definitely be determined after 42 days. Now this piece of information was only known after the invention of powerful microscopes only decades ago. Now I’ve only mentioned the subject of the developing human being in the Quran & the Hdeeth of the Prophet Muhammad briefly. There is of course a vast amount of literature available if you would like to study this subject more & it’s very easily available on the internet & indeed Dr Zakir Nike has produced a very nice book called “Modern science in the light of the Quran & Sunnah” So you can get hold of that from the Islamic research foundation Isha Allah if you want to explore that area more.

But what I thought I would do is mention a quote from Keith Moore who is the professor & chairman of the department of anatomy from the University of Toronto in Canada. And Keith Moore is one of the acknowledged experts in the field of the developing human being in its embryonic form. And his book “the developing human” is & has been for many years a standard textbook in universities & colleges all over the world. It’s been translated into numerous different languages.

And he was shown some of these statements in the Quran & the Hadeeth or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad concerning the development of the human embryo, & having studied them he came to a conclusion. And this is what he said: “Until the 19th century nothing was known about the classification of the stages of human development. A system of staging human embryos was developed around the end of the 19th century based upon alphabetical symbols. And during the 20th century numerals were used to describe 23 stages of embryonic development. This system of numbering the stages is not easy to follow & a better system would be based on the morphological changes.

In recent years the study of the Quran revealed another basis for the classification of the stages of developing embryo, which is based on easily understood actions and changes in shape. It utilizes terms that were used and sent by God to Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel and recorded in the Quran” And he goes on to say: “It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a Messenger of God or Allah.

” Dear viewers, you need to think about this. He is one of the experts, perhaps the expert in the field, examining the information that is in the Quran & that has been mentioned on the tongue of the Prophet Muhammad. And he is saying that not only is it impossible for the information to have been known by anyone 1400 years ago. He also suggests that modern embryology should follow the system of development that has been mentioned in the Quranic verses. In other words the Quran has described the developments of the human embryo so beautifully & so effectively that this should be the basis upon which scientific textbooks are founded from now on. This is what Keith Moore is saying. So this is really a truly remarkable statement from a truly remarkable scientist who by the way has become a Muslim.

How did the Prophet Muhammad developed this information? From where did a man living in a desert 1400 years ago know, from where did he get the knowledge? this is the question that you have to ask. This is the question that you have to examine. The next theme we want to look at is the water cycle. The water cycle. That is the cycle of water where the Sun heats the sea & causes evaporation & from that evaporation we have clouds forming & how the winds move those clouds & from that rain falls.

Now the Quran accurately describes water cycle & the origin of underground springs. And we are going to be talking about that after the break, so whatever you do don’t go away, because we have some more amazing facts for you in the proof that Islam is the Truth. Salam Allaeykum, welcome back to the proof that Islam is the Truth. And we are going through some of the amazing scientific statements in the Quran. Things that was impossible for Prophet Muhammad to have known 1400 years ago. Now one of the things we want to talk about is the water cycle. Now it may seem very obvious to us today about the water cycle. And for example the origin of underground springs.

But the ancient Greeks for example didn’t seem to get it right despite all of their philosophy & their knowledge & their ability they actually theorised that underground springs were a product of spray that came off the sea & collected in caves. And then the spray that came off the sea & collected in cave dripped down into the underground reservoirs through a great sea called the “abyss”. In fact it was not until the 18th century that the water cycle was really accurately described. Yet the Quran says 1400 years ago in the 39th sura in the 21st ayat: “have you not seen that Allah sent water down from the sky & led it through sources into the ground.” This is a simple but in fact highly accurate description of the water cycle.

Another amazing fact that is mentioned in the Quran we find in the 24th sura of the Quran in the 40th verse. And it’s talking about the states of those people who disbelieve & reject faith in God. The Quran describes the state of the disbeliever, the person who has rejected faith. “Like a darkness, a darkness that is so dark it is like the deep depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean overwhelmed with wave upon wave topped by a cloud, if a man stretches out his hand – he can hardly see it.

For any to whom Allah gives no light there is no light.” Now on the surface here Allah is giving a simple description. A person who does not believe in God & does not follow the guidance that Allah has sent down is a person who is in darkness. They are lost. Their life is a confusion. In fact their life is so confusing they can hardly see what is in front of them. This is how Allah is describing it: “Darkness upon darkness”, confusion upon confusion. He can hardly see or understand what is happening. If God does not give a person light – there is no light. So it is describing a type of absence of light, of being able to see or know really what is truly going on.

And so this is the case that is described. So on the surface we have a very poetic, we have a very strong & vigorous & amazing description of this darkness & the state of being lost. Yet when we examine it in more detail there is something else going on here as well. There is a clue to some scientific truths.

First of all the Quran describes the vast deep ocean & it describes waves upon waves. Now of course most of us are familiar with the waves that are on top of the ocean. But what does it mean “waves upon waves”? Are there other waves in the ocean? Well, we are going to find out. Also the Quran about a person being deprived of light that they can hardly see. Now a ray of light is composed of seven colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange & red. And light when it hits water goes through what is called refraction. That mean that for example in the upper 10 to 15 meters the water absorbs the red colour & as you go deeper each of the colours in the spectrum become absorbed by the water until you get to a depth of below about 1000 meters there is complete darkness.

Now what is amazing is that we also find in modern scientific discoveries that internal waves cover the deep waters of the seas & oceans. Because the deep waters have a higher density than the waters above them. So “waves upon waves”: we have the internal waves in the deep-deep ocean & then we have the waves on top of the ocean & then the clouds & so on & so forth. They add to the darkness & disparity & the breaking up & the refracting of light. Now what is interesting is the deep darkness, remember what the Quran says: “they stretch out their hand they can hardly see it”. This deep darkness begins below the internal waves in the ocean.

In fact there are certain fish down at those depths which need their own lights in order to be able to see. And amazingly Allah has created these creatures that can actually generate their own lights. Now this is really amazing because of course very recently no one has been able to penetrate & to reach those deep parts of the ocean. It is only with extremely sophisticated modern machinery & submarines & diving suits that someone has been able to go down to that depth. Yet we have the Quran 1400 years ago describing the internal waves of the oceans & the darkness that is there at the depths of the oceans. How on Earth, how in the heavens could a man living in the desert 1400 years ago have known about such detailed information about a science like oceanography? Well, professor Rao who is an expert in marine biology at the king Abdul Aziz university in Jeddah says: “1400 years ago a normal human being could not explain this phenomenon in so much detail. This information must have been coming from a supernatural source.”

My dear viewers, this even is not the end of the amazing scientific statements in the Quran. Because the next thing I’m going to deal with is cosmology, the statements in the Quran concerning the universe. Now until recently, or we could say up until the 1960s there was a major controversy between scientists concerning the state of the Universe. Some scientists believe & have begun to develop the idea that the Universe is in the state of flux, that the Universe was in fact expanding.

And from this theory of expanding Universe also came another theory which is commonly known today as the Big Bang theory. This is the idea that the Universe had a common origin in a singularity, in a dense, condensed type of matter. The Universe was infinitely small we could say part of dense matter & this infinitely small dense matter then exploded into what is the Universe that we know today. Now this was opposed by the static state theory, the static state theory. And this was very much preferred theory of atheists, that the Universe was the way it was eternally in the past & will keep on being that way eternally in the future.

And this was a theory that was really largely based at least initially & was believed in by Albert Einstein. And many people therefore followed on from that, with this idea of the static state theory. And so this idea of the Big Bang theory which was you know really held by Fred Hoyle. He was the person who supported this theory & Lemaitre who was opposing it with the idea of the Big Bang theory. Now evidence came to light that showed that variations in the light spectrum that were being emitted from galaxies & stars, which is called “Red shift” showed in fact that the Universe is expanding. And it’s amazing that this scientific fact, that has now been confirmed, & it is agreed upon by almost unanimously all scientists in the field, that we live in an expanding universe.

And the evidence very-very clearly & strongly suggest that. What does the Quran said 1400 years ago? Before there were telescopes & all the means to discover this information the Quran says in the 51st sura in the 47th ayat: “The Heaven, We have built it with power & we are expanding it.” Lets just repeat that again: “The Heaven, We have built it with power & we are expanding it.” 1400 years ago the Quran is mentioning how the Universe is expanding. The next most important observational evidence was the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964 by a powerful telescope. And this had been predicted in the Big Bang theory as a relic of the hot-ionised plasma of the early Universe when it first cooled sufficiently to form neutral hydrogen & allowed space to become transparent to light.

And its discovery led to the general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin & evolution of the Universe. What does the Quran say in the 21st sura in the 30th ayat? “Have not those who disbelieved known that the Heavens & the Earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them. And we have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” The common origin of the Universe or the singularity that scientists believe today the Universe originated from & which lead to the Big Bang. It is considered that the conditions of this singularity were so precise it is almost inconceivable that it could be in that way except that it has been made by an All-wise & powerful Creator. These are some of the amazing things that the Quran is telling us about the origin of the Universe.

The Quran also mentions that Allah turned to the Heavens when it was Dukhan. And the word dukhan in Arabic means smoke. This also accurately describes the hot gaseous mass of the Universe before the galaxies & the stars began to be formed. So here we have the Quran 1400 years ago talking about the expanding Universe, talking about the common origin of the Universe, that the Heavens & the Earth were one, talking about the gaseous state the smoke-like state of the early Universe.

This is in a book 1400 years old. Mentioning facts that scientists have only began to discover today & we have created from every living thing water. It’s a fact that every living thing has its basis in & is fundamentally composed of water. You & me are about 70 to 80 % water. We are made of about 70 to 80 % water. The fact that has been mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago. Will you not believe? Will you now not believe? What will it take to make you realise & to understand that the Quran is the Truth? That Muhammad is the Messenger of God? This is more evidence, the proof that Islam is the Truth. Join us for the next episode when we will be going through some more amazing facts from the Quran. Until then Assalamaleykum Arahmatullahi va Barakatu, may the peace & blessings of Allah & his guidance be with all of you.
