WHO WROTE THE QURAN? - Contd-2

2. He
must have known what modern science knows about the life on earth: That life
originated from water and that all living beings have water in their
composition.
24:45 And God has created every living creature
from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and
some walk on four …
21:30 … And that out of water We made every
living thing? Will they not, then, acknowledge the truth?
The biological and evolutionary science strongly attests to this fact. We
know that 80-85% of the protoplasm is water. The science of evolution also
proves that life on the planet initially began from water.
3. He knew that things are created in pairs?
By the way, this discovery earned the British physicist, Paul Dirac, the
Nobel Prize in 1933.
36:36 Glory to Him Who has created pairs of everything
that the earth grows, and of themselves, and of things they have no knowledge
yet.
43:12 And He it is Who has created all things in
pairs ….
Let us think of animal and plant life, male and female flowers, acid and
alkali, positive and negative magnetic poles, the electrical currents, action
and reaction, matter and antimatter, explosion and implosion and so on. The apparent
few exceptions to the rule will qualify for ‘and of things they have no
knowledge yet’.
4. Muhammad (S), the supposed “author” of the Quran, must have known
about the relativity of time.
22:47 And so (O Prophet) they challenge you to
hasten the doom, but God never fails to fulfill His promise. A day of your Lord
is like a thousand of your years.
23:112 He (God) will ask, “What number of years
have you spent on earth?”
23:113 They will say, “We stayed a day or part of
a day. But ask those who keep count.”
23:114 He will say, “You stayed only a little, if
you had only realized then!”
70:4 The Universal forces and the Divine Energy
ascend unto Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.
All things in the Universe evolve in stages to fulfill the Divine Plan. Some
of these stages take one thousand years each, and others fifty thousand years
by the human calendar. Either the exalted Prophet had some extraordinary source
of knowledge that allowed him to discuss the relativity of time thirteen and a
half centuries before Einstein, or we are looking at another intriguing coincidence!
Which is it?
And yet:
5. The same “author” must have known that the Universe is constantly
expanding.
51:47 And it is We Who built the Universe with
power, and certainly, it is We Who are steadily expanding it.
The Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre and the Russian scientist A.
Friemann first proposed the continued expansion of the Universe. Soon after, in
1929, the American astronomer Edwin Hubble was the first to observe and
document the phenomenon. Today, all experts on astronomy accept this astounding
scientific discovery. The Quran had given us this knowledge 14 centuries ago!
6. The Prophet must have known that the celestial bodies ‘swim along’ in
their orbits through their own power.
‘Sabah’ means swimming along.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter21"21:33 And He is the One Who created the night and
the day, and the sun and the moon. They swim along, each in an orbit.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter31"31:29 …He has subjected the sun and the moon to
His laws, each running along its course for an appointed term…
36:40 It is not for the sun to overtake the moon,
nor can the night outrun the day. All of them swim along in their orbits.
It is amazing to note a 1400-year-old book describing the sun and the moon,
not only moving, but rather swimming along in their assigned orbits
(21:33, 36:40). Who but the Creator could have had that
knowledge at the time when science had no concept of orbits in the space? The
Greeks thought of the sky as a revolving dome on which the sun, the moon and
stars were studded fixed!
7. He must have known that there is cosmic material between galaxies.
5:17 God’s is the Dominion of the heavens and
earth and all that is between them.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter19"19:65 Lord of the heavens and the earth and of
all that is between them! Therefore, serve Him and be constant in His service.
Do you know any whose name is worthy of mentioning side by side with His? [‘all
that is between them’ = ‘The stardust’ = Intergalactic material]
Numerous other verses in the Quran refer to “The earth and the skies and that
which is between them” (for instance 20:6, 25:59, & 32:4). The great U.S. telescope Mount
Wilson only in the 20th century has started describing the Interstellar
Galactic Material. Who could have even thought of its existence even until 200
years ago!
8. He knew that iron is not native to earth. It has, instead, extraterrestrial
sources.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter57"57:25 …And We have bestowed on from high the iron
in which there is awesome power and many benefits for people… [As proven by
modern science, the iron is not native to earth. It has come down from higher
celestial bodies, the Nova stars. In 1920, Charles Edouard Guillaume was
awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in recognition of the service he had
rendered to this research.]
9. He must have known about Time Zones.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter7"7:97 Can the people of any community ever feel
secure that Our requital will not come upon them at night, while they are
asleep?
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter7"7:98 Or do the people of townships feel secure
from the coming of Our requital upon them in the daytime while they play?
[The Hour will come upon the Universe suddenly. Some areas on earth will have
day, and others night.]
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter6"6:31 Losers are those who deny meeting with God,
until the Hour suddenly comes upon them.
HYPERLINK "/?cat=<chapter7"7:187 They ask you (O Messenger), about the Hour,
when the end of the world will come to pass. Say, “That knowledge is only with
my Lord. He alone will manifest it at the appropriate time. Heavy it is in the
heavens and earth. It will come upon you suddenly.”
10. He knew about winds pollinating the plants?
15:22 We send the winds as pollinators that
fertilize plants, and cause water to come down from the height for you to
drink. Who holds the stores of the Universe? You do not.
It took eleven centuries after the exalted Prophet for science to learn that
winds play a major role in fertilizing the plants!
