We all know that the Holy book of Allah Almighty is the complete code of life. You will find the solution to all complications of life in the Quran. Undoubtedly, the Quran has also revealed the many scientific discoveries that are true now!
Allah says in one of the Quranic verses(41:53).
“We will show them Our sign in the universe and their own selves until it becomes manifest to them, that this is the truth.”
So, all the major inventions in science have already been explained in the Holy book. Many verses in this Holy book explain the different phenomena of nature and enhance Muslims’ knowledge about the universe. These Quranic verses also encourage Muslims to get more and more success in every aspect of life. This Holy book was revealed on our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) IN 609C.E. At this time, no scientist knew about different scientific facts. Over time one can understand the other verses that explain the fantastic scientific realities.
This Quran was sent to the Holy Prophet(PBUH) through the archangel Jibril over 23 years. The Quran is the inspiration for all Muslims in about 750 verses that explains different natural phenomena. Keep reading this blog post to know more about the Quran and science miracles. So, let’s start to discuss the Quranic verses about science and technology.
Amazing Scientific Discoveries Mentioned in The Quran
There are many scientific miracles that are enlightened in the Noble book of Allah Almighty. This book explains many phenomena of science before their discovery. It shed information on the following Theories.
- Theory of relativity
- Bigbang theory
- Genetics
- Blackhole
- The big crunch theory and many more
All of these scientific discoveries are explained in the various Surah of Quran-e-Pak. So, in this surah, Allah Almighty elaborates on the complex phenomena of nature. Here we have mentioned the list of scientific facts in the Quran.
1. Water
Our Creator’s words in the Quran are in Surah Al-Anbiya(21:30).
” We made every living thing from water; will they not believe?”
This verse proves that most of the parts of every living organism consist of water. We also know that life without water is impossible. The above ayat of the Quran has explained before the discovery of microscopes that prove that water is the essential component in the body of living organisms.
2. The Quran Explain The Big Bang Theory
This theory is the origin of the universe mentioned in the Quran. Before any discoveries, it was thought that this universe had no creator. Elbert Einstein, during his period, proposed that this universe is growing like a balloon and has expanding forces such as galaxies moving away from each other. The mathematician and Belgian priest also support this proposal. The Holy book of Allah Almighty already explained the big bang theory in detail before its uncovering.
Allah SWT states in the Quran(21:30).
” Have those who disbelieved not consider that the heavens and earth were a joined entity, and We separate them.”
The astronomer in America explains the Hubble law, which states that there is a speed through which all entities move away from earth. This speed is directly proportional to the distance of the object from the ground. The greater distance means more incredible speed of moving objects. So the above verse of the Quran already explains the phenomena of the big bang theory, which states that this universe came into existence from a single dense point.
3. The Quran Explain The Big Crunch Theory
This theory explains how the universe will end. It is another scientific thing in the Quran details. The general theory of relativity discusses how the universe will be slowly destroyed; the starting point is the big bang theory. It is the imaginary scenario that everything will end up from where it started. The same rule is valid for the universe.
“The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of sheets for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it, a promise binding upon Us. Indeed We will do it”.
This verse of the Quran clearly explains the big crunch theory, which states that the universe again came back in the form of a tiny mass.
So, the Quran has already described this fact very beautifully.
4. The Quran Explains Embryology
Embryo development is explained in the branch of biology known as embryology. This is another scientific fact that is mentioned in the Holy book of Allah Almighty.
As Allah says in Surah Al-Muminun ( 23:12-14)
“We created man from an extract of clay, then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah, then We made the alaqah into a mudghah”.
The same thing is explained through technology in the development of embryos. The word alaqah is the clot of blood, and mudghah means chewed substance.
5. The Quran Explain The Oceanic Division
The term conflux is the joining point of two seas. When they meet, the water maintains its individual unique properties such as:
- Temperature
- Density
- Color
- Salinity
This is where you can see the water of two different seas running side by side. Quran also explains this phenomenon in Its verse of Surah Rehman( 55:19-20)
” He released the two seas meeting, between them, is a barrier so neither of them transgresses.”
6. Sun Moving in Orbit Also Explain in Noble Book
Allah says in Surah Al-Anbiya(21:33)
” And it is He who created the night and day, and the sun and the moon, all in orbit are swimming.”
Now you can see that all the bodies in the universe are moving in a specific orbit continuously. This fact is already mentioned in the Quran from many years ago.
7. The Sky’s Protection
This scientific fact is also mentioned in Quran in Surah Al-Anbiya( 21:32)
And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away”.
We all know that various gasses in the sky protect the earth from many harmful rays. For example, the ozone layer keeps us safe from the UV days coming from the sun. Without all of these protective layers, no one can survive on earth.
8. The Quran Explain The Pain Receptors
It was believed that the brain is the main organ that senses feelings and pain. Science reveals the fact that pain receptors are present in our skin. They are responsible for the sensing and sensation of pain.
The Holy book of Allah Almighty explained a long time ago that due to our skin, we feel pain.
Allah says in Surah An-Nisa(4:56)
” We shall send those who reject our revelations to hell. When their skins have been burned away, We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain”.
9. Mountains As Stakes
The Creator of the universe says in surah An-Naba(78:6-7)
“Have We not made the earth a resting place? And the mountains as stakes”.
The same thing is explained in the book of geophysics, how mountains are deep in the earth and look like stakes. So, the Quran reveals this fact before the discovery of this miracle.
10. Iron Within Meteorites
The words of Allah Almighty in Surah Al-Hadid( 57:25)
“We sent down iron with its great inherent strength and many benefits for humankind.”
M.E. Walrath said that iron is not naturally present on earth. A struck meteorite had iron on it. So, our planet got iron through an explosion. The Quran has already revealed this in detail in the verse mentioned above.
11. The Expansion of The Universe
Allah SWT says in Surah Adh-Dhariyat( 51:47)
“And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are expander.”
In the 20the century, it was discovered that this universe is expanding. Stephen Hawking explains it in his book ‘A Brief History of Time .’Allah Almighty has already revealed this fact in His Holy Book.
12. Frontal Lobe
In Surah Al-Alaq( 96:15-16), Allah SWT warned the Abu Jahl, whose is the terrible oppressive leader in the period of Hazrat Muhammad( S.A.W.W)
” No, indeed, if he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead.”
The forehead is the brain’s frontal area, where we think about new plans. And Allah says that if he does not stop, We seize part of his brain. It is the part that is responsible for every lie.
Final Thoughts
The critical thing is to differentiate between the right and wrong things. Our right-thinking makes us able to see the sign of Allah Almighty around us in this universe. Hopefully, this post enhances your knowledge about the different miracles of the Quran proven by science. This book was written many centuries ago that explains many natural phenomena in its verses. Allah says in Surah Al-Rehman
“So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?”
