Scientific miracles of Quran:
Quran gives most accurate description of many scientific facts as Allah says
"We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
The quran speaks on astronomy, biology, physics, embryology ,geography, geology, oceanology, botany, zoology, physiology, general science.
There are over seven hundred Ayat in the Quran that deal with scientific facts. In the present time, we understand many of those Ayat. Other Ayat imply different meanings, and we do not have enough scientific information to interpret their meaning correctly.
This subject of the scientific miracle of the Quran is becoming increasingly fascinating. The available amount of work is so voluminous, and some of the studies are so scientifically detailed. It is very difficult to cover this huge subject in one book, let alone a chapter in a book.
The scientific verses in the Quran represent serious challenge to the atheists as well as the Christians. This challenge in no way represents a negative process, but a positive one that keeps humanity reflecting on the many miraculous signs of God as stated in the Quran. How can anyone explain that an unlettered Arab in the seventh century stated scientific facts that were discovered 13 centuries later. Can there be any reasonable explanation except that the Creator of all realities revealed these facts to him? These verses also serve the purpose of providing human beings with yet another proof of the Divinity of the Quran.
Some of the verses which clearly state scientific facts are:
a) In Astronomy:
Expansion of Universe: 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)
Solar Apex: And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. And We have decreed set phases for the Moon, until it ends up looking like an old palm spathe. It is not for the Sun to overtake the Moon nor for the night to outstrip the day; is each one swimming in a sphere. (Surah Ya Sin, 38-40)
Splitting of Heavens and the Earth: Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? (Qur'an, 21:30)
b) In Geography:
The seas not mingling with one another:The seas not mingling with one and other: He has let loose the two seas, converging together, with a barrier between them they do not break through. (Qur'an, 55:19-20)
c) In Oceonology :
Darkness in the seas and internal waves:
Or [the unbelievers' state] are like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those Allah gives no light to, they have no light. (Qur'an, 24:40)
d) In Embryology:
3 stages of development of human embryo: We created man from the purest kind of clay; then made him a drop in a secure receptacle; then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Surat al-Muminun, 12-14)
After the revelation of this last testament to the last messenger of God, which is a miracle of miracles, a revolution occurred in the whole world in every sphere of life to which impartial history is a written witness.
