al-Quran as a source of knowledge


Presumably true if the Qur'an is referred to as miracles. How not, it turns out the verses of Qur'an that was revealed in the 7th century BC in which science has not developed (at that time people thought the earth was flat and the sun around the earth), in accordance with modern science was recently discovered byhumans.

For example verse below:

"And if those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them. And We made from water every living thing. So will they not also believe? "[Al Anbiyaa: 30]


It was someone no one knew that the heavens and the earth were originally one. It turned out that modern science such as the Big Bang theory and other Ilmiyah theory holds that the universe (earth and sky) was once one. Then finally broke into the present.
Then it is true of all the animate, including single-celled plants must contain water and also need water. The presence of water is an indication of life on a planet. Without water, no life impossible. This is the one truth verses of the Qur'an.
When referring to the sun and moon in the Qur'an, confirmed that each move in specific orbits or orbits.
"It is He who created night and day, sun and moon. Each of them is circulating in an orbit. "(Qur'an, 21:33)
It is also mentioned in another verse that the sun is not stationary, but move in certain orbits:
"And the sun runs on-site circulation. Thus the decree of the Almighty, the Knower. "(Qur'an, 36:38)
The sky is expanded (Expanding Universe)
In the Qur'an, which was revealed 14 centuries ago when the science of astronomy is still underdeveloped, the expansion of the universe is described as follows:
"It is We wake up with power (We) and We Who are steadily expanding." (Qur'an, 51:47)
According to the Qur'an sky dilated / expanded. And this is the conclusion reached today's science.
According to Stephen Hawkings with the Big Bang theory, since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding continuously with terrifying speed. Other theories such as the inflationary universe is also the opinion continues to grow. The scientists likened the events of the universe with the expansion of a balloon being blown surface.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the only view that is generally believed to be in the world of science is that the universe is fixed and has existed since time immemorial without beginning. However, research, observations, and calculations performed with modern technology, revealed that the universe indeed had a beginning, and he was constantly "expands".
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian physicist, Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist George Lemaitre, theoretically calculated and found that the universe is constantly moving and expanding.
This fact is evidenced also by using observational data in 1929.While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies moving away from each other.
Moving mountains
"And you see those mountains, you would have thought he was firmly in place, but the way he runs as a cloud." [Sura 27:88]
14 centuries ago the whole of human thought the mountain was still not moving. But in the Qur'an mentioned the mountain was moving.
Movement of the mountains is caused by movement of the earth's crust where they are. The crust is like floating on a denser layer of magma. At the beginning of the 20th century, for the first time in history, a German scientist named Alfred Wegener proposed that continents on the surface of the earth together in the early days of the earth, but then shifted into a different direction so separate as they move together away.
The geologists understand the truth of Wegener's statement was only in 1980, ie 50 years after his death. As once noted by Wegener in a paper published in 1915, about 500 million years ago all the land the land that is in the earth's surface is a single entity originally called Pangaea. Mainland is located at the south pole.
Approximately 180 million years ago, Pangaea split into two parts each of which move in different directions. One of the mainland or the giant continent Gondwana was, which include Africa, Australia, Antarctica and India. The second is a giant continent Laurasia, which consisted of Europe, North America and Asia, except India. Over 150 years after this separation, Gondwana and Laurasia divided into lands smaller.
Continents that formed following the splitting of Pangaea has been moving on the surface of the Earth continuously as far as several centimeters per year. The incident also led to changes in area ratio between land and sea on Earth.
The movement of the Earth's crust was found after the geological research conducted at the beginning of the 20th century. The scientists explain these events as follows:
The crust and the outer portion of the magma, with a thickness of about 100 km, divided into layers called plates. There are six major plates and several small plates. According to the theory called plate tectonics, these plates move on the surface of the Earth, carrying continents and ocean floor with him. The movement of continents has been measured and the speed of 1 to 5 cm per year. Plates are constantly moving, and produce changes in the geography of the earth slowly. Every year, for example, the Atlantic Ocean becomes slightly wider. (Carolyn Sheets, Robert Gardner, Samuel F. Howe; General Science, Allyn and Bacon Inc.. Newton, Massachusetts, 1985, s. 30)
There are very important things worth noting here: in the verse God has called on the motion of mountains as the clouds travel mengapungnya. (Today, modern scientists also use the term "continental drift" or "floating movement of the continent" for this movement. (National Geographic Society, the Powers of Nature, Washington DC, 1978, s.12-13)
No question about it, is one of the miracles the Qur'an that this scientific fact, a recently discovered by scientists, has been revealed in the Qur'an.
"We had winds to marry and We send down rain from the sky, then We gave you drink it with water and once the time was not you who keep them." (Qur'an, 15:22)
Forecast Roman victory over Persians
"Alif, Lam, Mim. Romans have been defeated, in the nearest country and they are after the defeat they will win, in recent years (again). For Him affairs before and after (they won). "(Qur'an, 30:1-4)
These verses were revealed about the year 620 AD, almost seven years after the great defeat of Christian Byzantium at the hands of the Persians, when the Byzantines lost Jerusalem.Then narrated in these verses that Byzantium in the near future wins. In fact, Byzantium had then suffered the defeat of so much that seemed impossible for him to maintain his existence, let alone win again. Not only the Persians, but also Avars, Slavs, and Lombards became a serious threat to the Byzantine Empire. Avars had come to reach the boundary walls of Constantinople. Byzantine emperor, Heraclius, had ordered the gold and silver in the church is melted and used the money to finance the army. Many governors revolted against Emperor Heraclius and the Empire and is located at the point of collapse.Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, which was originally ruled by the Byzantines, invaded by the Persians. (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society, Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.)
Pharaoh's body was rescued
"So this day We save your body so that you can be a lesson for those who come after you" [Qur'an 10:92]
Photos of Pharaoh Ramses 2Maurice Bucaille was once a researcher mummy of Pharaoh in Egypt. On the mummy of Ramses II He found peculiarity, namely the very high salt content in the body. He then found the answer in the Koran, it turns out this is the Pharaoh Ramses II who had drowned by Allah while pursuing Moses.
Gospel & Torah only mentions that the sinking of Ramses II, but only the Qur'an which states that the body was saved by God Almighty, so that it can be a lesson for us all.
Note that the Prophet Muhammad lived 3000 years after the incident, and there is no way such information (survival of the body of Ramses II) can be found him (as in the Gospel & the Torah was not called). Tomb of Pharaoh, Pyramids, a newly discovered buried in the ground by the archaeologist Giovanni Battista Belzoni in 1817. But the Quran can mention it because it is the word of Allah (not made by the Prophet Muhammad).
Everything is created in pairs
The Qur'an repeatedly calls a partner in the plant kingdom, also called a mate in a more general framework, and with boundaries that are not specified.
"Glory to God who has created pairs of everything good from what is grown by the earth and of themselves and of what they do not know." [Yaa Seen 36:36]
We can hypothesize as much as possible about the meaning of things that people do not know at the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Things that people do not know it included a paired structure or function well in most small objects or objects of the greatest, both in inanimate objects or the objects of life. The important thing is to remember the thoughts that are described in the verse is rambang and to know that we did not find any contradiction with science during this period.
Although the concept of "couple" commonly stands for male and female, or male and female, the phrase "or of what they do not know" in the paragraph above has a wider coverage. Now, the coverage of another meaning of the verse has been revealed.The British scientist Paul Dirac, who proposed that matter is created in pairs, was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933. This discovery, called "parité", stating that the matter is paired with its opposite: anti-matter. Anti-matter has the opposite properties to matter. For example, different materials, electron anti-matter is positively charged protons and negatively charged. This fact is stated in a scientific source as follows:
"... Every particle has its antiparticle of opposite charge ... and the uncertainty relation tells us that the pair creation and pair annihilation happen in the vacuum at any time, in every place."
All this indicates that the element iron did not form on Earth, but is carried by a burst of meteors through the stars in outer space, and then "sent to earth", exactly as stated in the verse. It is clear that this fact could not have known scientifically in the 7th century, when the Qur'an was revealed.
Written above is just a fraction of the wonders of the Qur'an that exists and was in accordance with modern science. For those who want to know more please read the reference books below.
Clearly, the Qur'an is true and there is no doubt in it.
"The Book of Quran is no doubt; guidance for those who fear Him" ​​[al-Baqarah: 2]
If other religions can have more than 4 versions of the Bible are different from each other, then the Qur'an there is only one and there is no contradiction in it:
"Do they not consider the Qur'an? If it seems that the Koran is not from Allah, they would have got a lot of contradictions in it. "[An-Nisa ': 82]
The Qur'an is the only holy book that can be memorized millions of people (Hafidz / penghafal Qur'an) so that the authenticity / purity is always maintained.
