| THE
QURAN ON ASTRONOMY!
Science in the Quran |
| The
Qur'an
was revealed in the seventh century. Many statements pertaining to physical
phenomena are dispersed throughout the Qur'an. These are there in the Qur'an
to draw the attention of people to the wonders of Allah's creation.
Any other seventh century book making statements about the physical universe
would surely contain mistakes. Our knowledge of physical sciences in the
twentieth century is far advanced beyond the imagination of people living
in the seventh century. What will come as a surprise to many people is
that of all the numerous statements about scientific matters found in the
Qur'an, not one of those have proved contrary to the established facts
of science. On the other hand, many of those statements have already been
verified by modern scientific studies, and we confidently expect that as
various fields of knowledge advance, other Quranic statements will likewise
prove true.
Let us look at some of the statements which science has already verified. |
