<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yllix.com/slider.php?pub=646138§ion=General&ga=g&side=random"></script><br />
</b> <b><span style="color: green;">We decreed in the Book for the tribe of Israel: “<i>You will twice cause corruption on Earth and you will reach [a degree of] great haughtiness. </i>When the promised first time came, We sent against you</span> </b> <b><span style="color: green;">servants of Ours possessing great force, and they ransacked your houses, rampaging right through them. It was a promise that was fulfilled. Then once again We gave you the upper hand over them, supplied you with more wealth and children, and made you the most numerous group.” (Qur’an, 17:4-6)</span></b></div></div></div><br />
<br />
As these verses reveal, the Children of Israel were to cause two corruptions over the world. After the first one, during which they adopted a very high level of haughtiness, Allah sent a powerful army <br />
<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/israel-hurts-children29.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="240" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/israel-hurts-children29.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="israel-hurts-children29" width="320" /></a><br />
against them. Indeed, when the Jews killed Prophet Yahya (as) and set a trap to kill Prophet ‘Isa (as) (“reaching to a degree of great haughtiness”), they were exiled shortly afterwards from Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 and wandered all over the world.<br />
When that verse was revealed to the Prophet (saas), the Jews were living under very difficult conditions in various countries and had no state of their own. Yet, Allah told the Children of Israel that one <br />
day they would recover their strength.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
At that time, however, there seemed to be almost no chance that this would really happen. Many centuries later, however, the Jews returned to Palestine and established the State of Israel in 1948. Subsequently, the attitudes of some racist Zionists living in Israel led to disorder in the Middle East. Such attitudes are still laying the foundations of acts of terror.<br />
This current state is a sign of the Children of Israel’s second “corruption.” However, it is important to note that this wicked behaviour certainly does not apply to all Jews, for many Jews are individuals of good conscience and common sense who do not agree with such behaviour. Certain racist and radical Zionists need to <span style="color: green;"><b>“take to forgiveness” </b></span>(Qur’an, 7:199), as recommended by our Lord.

In these verses in the Surat al-Isra’, we notice that almost no one could believe that such things would ever come about. But Allah willed their fulfilment, and thereby provided believers with more proof that the Qur’an is a miraculous book revealed by Him for their benefit.</div>Sharear Azamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750674750420282488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080872215086962126.post-69379533790242382042012-09-18T16:02:00.000-07:002013-11-05T07:25:40.948-08:00Life outside the Earth<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 align="left" id="sites-page-title-header"><span dir="ltr" id="sites-page-title"></span> </h3><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/what-quran-says-about-kepler-22-or-existence-life-outside-of-the-world1.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

For the first time, astronomers using NASA’s Kepler space telescope have confirmed a roughly Earth-size planet orbiting a sun-like star in the so-called “Goldilocks” zone where water can exist in liquid form on the surface and conditions may be favorable for life as it is known on Earth.Along with the confirmed extra-solar planet, one of 28 discovered so far by Kepler, researchers today also announced the discovery of 1,094 new exoplanet candidates, pushing the spacecraft’s total so far to 2,326, including 10 candidate Earth-size worlds orbiting in the habitable zones of their parent stars.Additional observations are required to tell if a candidate is, in fact, an actual world. But astronomers say a planet known as Kepler-22b, orbiting a star some 600 light years from Earth, is the real thing.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://muslim.zohosites.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="300" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/what-quran-says-about-kepler-22-or-existence-life-outside-of-the-world.jpg?w=300&h=225" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="What Quran says about Kepler-22 or existence life outside of the world" width="400" /></a></div>“Today I have the privilege of announcing the discovery of Kepler’s first planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, Kepler-22b,” Bill Borucki, the Kepler principal investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center, told reporters. “It’s 2.4 times the size of the Earth, it’s in an orbital period (or year) of 290 days, a little bit shorter than the Earth’s, it’s a little bit closer to its star than Earth is to the sun, 15 percent closer.<br />
<br />
“But the star is a little bit dimmer, it’s a little bit lower in temperature, a little bit smaller. That means that planet, Kepler-22b, has a rather similar temperature to that of the Earth…If the greenhouse warming were similar on this planet, its surface temperature would be something like 72 Fahrenheit, a very pleasant temperature here on Earth.”It is not yet known whether Kepler-22b is predominantly rocky, liquid, or gaseous in composition, but the finding confirms for the first time the long-held expectation that Earth-size planets do, in fact, orbit other suns in the habitable zones of their host stars.That, in turn, greatly improves the odds for the existence of life, as it is commonly defined, beyond Earth’s solar system.<br />

This is a solar analogue, almost a solar twin, very similar to our own sun and you’ve got a planet 2.4 times the size of the Earth right smack in the habitable zone.”Equipped with a 95-megapixel digital camera, Kepler was launched from Cape Canaveral on March 6, 2009. The camera is aimed at a patch of sky in the constellation Cygnus that’s the size of an outstretched hand that contains more than 4.5 million detectable stars.<br />
<br />
Of that total, some 300,000 are believed to be the right age, have the right composition and the proper brightness to host Earth-like planets. More than 156,000 of those, ranging from 600 to 3,000 light years away, will be actively monitored by Kepler over the life of the mission.<br />

<br />
To find candidate planets, the spacecraft’s camera monitors the brightness of target stars in the instrument’s wide field of view, on the lookout for subtle changes that might indicate a world passing between the star and the telescope. By studying the slight dimming–comparable to watching a flea creep across a car’s headlight at night–and by timing repeated cycles, computers can identify potential extra-solar worlds even though the planets themselves cannot be seen.</div></div></div>Sharear Azamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750674750420282488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080872215086962126.post-30427937955969962842012-07-31T16:10:00.000-07:002013-01-31T18:56:41.738-08:00What Islam say about dinosaurs?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b><span style="color: green;">“… And He creates other things that you do not know.”Nahl {16:8}</span></b><br />
<br />
The rest of this is from a contact of mine:<br />
((The reason people are not finding a verse about dinosaurs could be due to the fact that they haven’t understood the entire Quran. Also, lots of people would just say it’s not there because they haven’t seen it or read the Quran entirely while understanding it 100% to be able to say it does.<br />
The term ‘dinosaur’ is also the modern word of what those creatures were called thousands of years ago. We do not know what those creatures were referred to exactly, but we can only study the Quran further to make that decision, if it indeed exists in the Quran.<br />
For an example, a lot of people used the excuse of how there is no verse that implies that women have to wear the Hijab (headscarf) and point out only one ayah (verse) that tells women to dress modestly. Of course, that is based on their knowledge of the Quran, little do they know that there exists two more versus that relate to the Headscarf and makes it compulsory. Just because they don’t know about it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.<br />
<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/01_biz-dino_corr_665.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="261" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/01_biz-dino_corr_665.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="01_biz-dino_CORR_665" width="400" /></a>Everyday or every decade, we discover something new. Whether it be a more clear understanding of what we thought a verse meant, or a complete shift in our views. Islam is over 1400 years old, and to this day we still find something new out, and we still don’t completely understand the Quran. Some verses have literal implications, others an underlining meaning or message.<br />
Now, that does not prove that there is a verse about dinosaurs in the Quran, but suggests that it may actually exist in the Quran but has not yet been identified. We do not know what God refers to as ‘dinosaurs’ in the Quran, but we do know that there is a verse that<br />
discusses <b>‘giant creatures/beasts (Dabbah)’ in verse 2:164 from the Holy Quran: “</b>…<b><span style="color: #38761d;">in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth…are signs for a people that are wise”</span></b><br />
<script type="text/javascript">

</script><br />
<br />
The same word ‘Dabbah’ is used the in the verse 24:45: “And God has created every animal from water: of them are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. God creates what he wills…” There is another verse in the Quran that I found very interesting – Al-Araf:56 “work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof” which describes how the earth had been “repaired/reordered/restored”, suggesting there had been commotion or some problematic event on earth and was restored. It warns the believers to not cause confusion on earth.<br />
Then again, that could mean a whole different thing. But, I do believe, even though the Quran is meant mainly to guide the believers, that there may be some verse that might further explain life millions of years ago.))</div>

<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/netgear_router_copy1.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/netgear_router_copy1.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="netgear_router_copy" /></a>The aforesaid verses do carry some important facts, which refer to the modern science and technology.<br />
The chief points of discussion are:<br />
1) A dialogue between the people in the Heaven and the people in the Fire.<br />
2) There are people on the height seeing and talking to both of them.<br />
3) There is ‘Hijab’ meaning veil, curtain, or screen between the people in the Heaven and the people in the Fire.<br />
4) The men in the Heaven recognize their acquaintances in the Fire by their face marks and so on the people in the Fire identify the men in the Heaven.<br />
5) The men in the Fire would long for water and sustenance from the people in the Heaven.<br />
The question arises how the men in the Heaven could see the men in the Fire when particularly:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">The breadth of the Heaven is as the width of the sky and the earth. (57/21)</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">And certainly the Hell will be far, far away from the Heaven.</span><br />
Imam Razi (543-606) has also raised a question; he says from this magnanimous distance how a call can be possible? Imam Razi himself replied it saying ‘To us the extreme closeness or remoteness of the distance is not an impediment in a dialogue’. He added, “Al-Qadhi observed, that there are scientists who say there is a peculiarity about the voice that the distance alone cannot be a hurdle from hearing.”<br />
This statement shows that the scientists of his time were developing some positive theory about the sound waves.<br />
The Dialogue Between the People of the Heaven and of the Fire<br />
Now I revert back to the exegesis of the aforesaid verses. The commentators attempted to explain them to the best of their knowledge, but no satisfactory explanation could be given for a dialogue between the people of the Heaven and the people of the Fire when they both are million, million light years apart. Similarly the word ‘Hijab’ was explained as a wall, it was all-impossible due to magnanimous distance between the Heaven and the Hell. That is why the orientalists, the Jews and the Christians all denied these verses.<br />
There are few other verses correlated with the verses under citation:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">And We have fastened everyman’s deeds to his neck, and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring forhim a book which he shall find wide open.(17/13-14),</span></b><br />
<br />
And the Book will be placed, and you will see the criminals, fearful of that which is therein. They will say woe to us! What sort ofBook this is, that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing except that it has enumerated it.And they will find what they did placed before them. And your Lord treats no one with injustice. (18/49),<br />
Whoso has done an atom’s weight of good, he will see It then. And whoever has done an atom’s weight of evil will see it then. ( 99/7-8).<br />
The above verses of the Holy Quran describe that after resurrection and before the Judgment, the book of deeds of every person will be fastened to his neck. He will find therein all his acts however small are big. It will contain all his good and bad deeds, which he will be able to read and see. The disbelievers denied the contentions of the Quran saying the presentation of the book of deeds on the Day of Judgment to every person is impossible, neither he will read the book nor he will see his past actions.<br />
<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/3g-mobile-phones-technology-that-we-call-life.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/3g-mobile-phones-technology-that-we-call-life.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="3G-Mobile-Phones-Technology-That-We-Call-Life" /></a><i>The acceptance and rejection of a fact depends upon the quantum of knowledge we possess to the tune of our development in a given time period.</i><br />
Even in the 19th century, the mind could not perceive the phenomena of the atmosphere and space and of the electromagnetic or radio waves etc., but the Quranic facts were far advanced to our the then timid notions. They were reflecting to our scientific progress, which was yet to be achieved by mankind in the 20th century.<br />
In the first quarter of the 20th century Guglielmo Marconi succeeded in establishing the radio service. From 1928 radio telephone circuits were set up. It was found the radio waves are not restricted to earth’s atmosphere. K.G Jansky first discovered radio waves from the Milky Way in 1931 and the radio noise from the sun was discovered in 1942. This proved that the atmosphere and the space preserve the sounds in the shape of the waves and they do not die out.<br />
After the radio the great invention was of television. It was launched in the Great Britain by B.B.C. on 2nd November 1936. That proved not only sound or voices are preserved in the space but also the space carries the pictures of our actions.<br />
By 1970 the color broadcasting was common in all the countries. Only we by the help of machines receive and show them on the T.V. screen. The invention of the video perfected what was lacking in the television. Whenever one desires one can see a story on a videocassette. Thus every videocassette contains a story in it like a book. And when a man can prepare a film having fiction and real stories using the resources present in the atmosphere and show it on television, certainly it is in the power of God the presentation of the book of deeds on the day of Judgment.<br />
Therefore, God said: ‘Whoso has done an atom’s of weight of good will see it then” and so on his evils.<br />
When man will be shown the film of his life he will cry “Woe to us! What a book is this! It leaves out nothing but enumerated it” and they find in it all they did in the world.<br />
One thing remains, God mentioned the reading of the book and seeing of the past actions of every man in the verses under citation, but it did not mention that a man can listen his own voice the like we listen in a video cassette. It is not so. The Quran did mention it too:<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">This our book speaks about you with truth, Lo! We have caused (all) that you did to be recorded. (45/29)</span></b><br />
<br />
Thus the deeds of every man are not only being written but his voice is also being recorded. This proved the angels are preparing the record of every man like that of a color film.<br />
We can say there are two kinds of film, the one we prepare for a videocassette etc., the other, which angels prepare for the whole life span of every man.<br />
The Omniscient, the Creator of the Universe has appointed sentinels on every person to note down, prepare a film of all his actions in the shape of a cassette and call it a book of deeds. When the guilty will refuse to admit his sins:<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">On the Day when their tongues, their hands and their feet will testify against themwhat they used to do. (24/24)</span></b><br />
<br />
There is no wonder in it. Who can give speech to a tongue can give speech to other limbs. Had the tongue speech on its own, the tongues of the animal would have spoken. If the guilty would reject the testimony of their own limbs and insist on refusal, the angels would make for them to play the cassette of their lives before them. He would see all his past life as he used to see in the films. This is:<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">‘Who so hath done an atoms weight of good will see it then, and whoso hath done an atoms weight of evilwill see it then.’</span></b><br />

It is a warning to those who see dances and listens songs on a videocassette, which give vent to sexual desires, they should remember that Allah (God) would not treat them with injustice.<br />

In other words the Quran has prophesied with modern development in the technology when no one could conceive it in the 7th century.</span><br />
We return to the dialogue, which is to occur between the men in the Heaven and men in the Fire.<br />
It is aforementioned that the Quranic verse referring to ‘Hijab’ (screen, curtain) between two aforesaid people remained unexplained till we enter the era of modern technology. Now we can interpret the real meaning of the word ‘Hijab’ is screen and not wall as contended by the previous interpreters. That is to say the aforesaid parties of the Heaven and the Hell would be able to see each other on a screen, the like we see in our television news program. The people on height would also participate in the dialogue between the two parties like a T.V host.<br />
It is very amazing that the Quranic description having been declared far beyond the truth is proved after 1400 years. The Quran in the seventh century had announced:<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">We will show them Our signs in the universe and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (Book) is the truth. (41/53)</span></b><br />
<br />
The persons on the height would be intermediaries in this transmission. The Quran also mentions that both the parties will recognize each other with their face marks. Certainly it is so the recognition dawns upon us when we see a character on a T.V. screen.<br />
Lastly when the people in the Fire see the people in the Heaven eating and drinking, they would long for to get some food and drink, though they know that they cannot get to those provisions.<br />
However, the modern inventions finally upheld the Quranic assertions as to the reckoning of all and after their final destination in the Heaven or the Hell, they proved the possibility of a dialogue, which is to occur between the people in the Heaven and in the Fire.</div>Sharear Azamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750674750420282488noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080872215086962126.post-57868965426137296762012-07-31T10:31:00.000-07:002013-11-05T07:39:29.100-08:00Fingerprint<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 align="left" id="sites-page-title-header"> <span dir="ltr" id="sites-page-title"></span> </h3><div class="sites-canvas-main" id="sites-canvas-main"><div id="sites-canvas-main-content"><table cellspacing="0" class="sites-layout-name-one-column sites-layout-hbox"><tbody>

<br />
<b>075.004► بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ</b><br />
<b><span style="color: green;">Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order <i>the very tips of his fingers</i>. (Qur’an, Al-Qiyama -75:4)</span></b><br />
<br />
The emphasis on fingerprints has a very special meaning. This is because shapes and details on everyone’s fingerprint are unique to each individual. Every person who is alive or who has ever lived in this world has a set of unique fingerprints. Furthermore,<br />
<a name='more'></a>even identical twins having the very same DNA sequence have their own set of fingerprints.<br />

<br />
Fingerprints attain their final shape before birth and remain the same for a lifetime unless a permanent scar appears. That is why fingerprints are accepted as a very important proof of identity, exclusive to their owner. The science of fingerprints has been used as a non-erring identity determination method.<br />

Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning. However in the Qur’an, Allah points to the fingertips, which did not attract anyone’s attention at that time, and calls our attention to their importance. This importance has only been fully understood in our day</div></div></div></td></tr>

<br />
The “Valley of the Ants” refers to a special place and special ants. In addition, the fact that Prophet Sulayman (as) could hear the ants talking among themselves may contain striking references to future developments in computer technology. The present-day term “Silicon Valley” refers to <br />
<a name='more'></a>the centre of the world of technology. It is most significant that a “valley of the ants” appears in the account of Prophet Sulayman’s (as) life. Allah may be drawing our attention to the advanced technology of the future.<br />
Furthermore, ants and other insect species are widely used in advanced technology as models in robot projects and are intended to serve in a wide range of areas, from the defence industry to technology. The verse may also be referring to these developments.<br />

One study being carried out by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Virginia State University seeks to develop small, inexpensive, and simple physically identical robots that can be used as a robot army. Project officials explain these robots’ functionality in the following terms: “The way they behave as a group, in a coordinated manner, perform a series of physical actions, and take joint decisions.” These robot armies’ mechanical and electrical designs have been based on the behaviour of an ant community. They are called the “army-ant” robots because of their similarities to their insect counterparts.<br />
<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/hexbugantgreen1.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/hexbugantgreen1.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="hexbugantgreen" /></a>The “army-ant” robot system was originally designed as a “material-carrying system.” According to this scenario, several small robots would be charged with jointly lifting and carrying objects. It was later decided that they could be used for other tasks. One report describes other tasks to which they might be assigned in the future:Nuclear and hazardous waste cleanup with robotic “swarms,” mining (including material removal and search-and-rescue), mine sweeping<br />
(both land and water), surveillance and sentry, planetary surface exploration and excavation.In a report by Israel A. Wagner, an expert on ant robot technology, the ant robot projects were described in these terms:Ant-robots are simple physical or virtual creatures designed to cooperate in order to achieve a common goal. They are assumed to have very limited<br />
<br />
resources of energy, sensing and computing, and to communicate via traces left in the workspace or on the ground, like many insects naturally do…<br />
<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/images1.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/images1.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="images" /></a>The distribution of work among multiple a(ge)nts can be made by either a central controller who sends orders to the agents, or by an a-priori agreement on a certain partitioning that, if obeyed by the agents, eventually leads to a completion of the given mission. A third way, used throughout the current work, is to design the behavior of individuals such that cooperation will naturally emerge in the course of their work, without making a-priori decisions on the structure of the cooperation. The specific application that we address is covering, which is also known as exploring or searching. This variety of names hints to the many applications this problem might have: from cleaning the floor of a house to mapping an unknown planet or demining a mine field.As can be seen in these examples, an ant’s social lifestyle forms the basis of many projects, and the various ant-based robot technologies are providing benefits for human beings. That is why it is so important that ants and their valley are referred to in the Qur’anic account of Prophet Sulayman’s (as) life. The term “ants” in the verse may refer to an army consisting of robots, future developments in robot technology, and how robots will play an important role in human life. For example, they may perform many arduous tasks and thus make people’s lives more comfortable. (Allah knows best.)</div></div></td></tr>

The ban on the use of intoxicants was gradual. This evil was eradicated by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He warned about the curse of Allah on all those associated with it from production to its consumption.<br />
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whatever much of it intoxicates, then little of it is also prohibited.” (Abu Dawood from Jabir)<br />
Abdullah Bin Omar is quoted to have said: “The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said that ‘Anybody who attributed to me anything which I did not say will go to Hell.” After this Abdullah Bin Omar said: “I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) saying ‘No doubt Allah has prohibited the wine, games of chance and the wine extracted from “Ghabeera” (a flower tree with fruit).<br />
Narcotic drugs are also banned in Islam. This ban was enforced in 7th century for the welfare of humanity.<br />
The latest developments in medical science have proved the consumption of alcohol and narcotics to be a social evil causing great harm not only to the society but also to human health. If we look into the expenditure incurred on drinks (intoxicants) in European and American countries we get an alarming figure of thousands of millions of dollars. France has the highest alcohol consumption. Frenchmen consume 200 million liters of alcoholic beverages every year.<br />

It breaks the family ties and brings about a complete disruption in family life. The man under its influence fills the destructive bowl, gets excited with an urge to commit crimes and does not hesitate to commit adultery, incest and fornication.<br />
Alcohol abuse presents the society with a staggering bill. In the US, somewhere between $25 billion to $40 billion are lost in terms of labor productivity, treatment and welfare. (Koffend 1979)<br />
In 1979, the World Health Organization in a report stated that alcoholism is becoming a major problem in developing countries. In Zambia and Venezuela the abuses of alcohol are linked with increasing crimes and is the major cause of road accidents. In South Africa, 75 percent of the population is affected directly with adverse affects of alcoholism. In US, 40 percent of all road accidents are due to alcohol abuse and alcohol accounts for 50 percent of criminal arrests.<br />
Man is a social animal. He is superior to animals by virtue of his mental faculties. If these faculties are <br />
impaired, he will act like an animal. Alcohol and narcotic drugs impair the higher centers of the brain with the result a man loses judgment, intellect, learning reason, memory and orientation. The lower centers of the brain are freed from the inhibiting influence of the higher centers causing excitement and animalistic behaviors. Owing to this, the intoxicated person behaves recklessly and become loquacious and loses self-control, totters and is led by evil desires to commit crimes.<br />
The following are the bodily harms or diseases of alcoholism observed by the medical science.<br />
<ol start="1"><li>Peripheral Neuritis, i.e. numbness and weakness in nervous system.</li>
<li>Wernicks Encephalopathy, causing the disturbance in consciousness and neurological problems.</li>
<li>Korsakoffs Psychosis i.e. impairment of memory delusion.</li>
<li>Delirium Tremens. The alcoholic is confused, restless, misidentifies people and places and has severe tremor.</li>
<li>Cerebella degeneration.</li>
<li>Alcoholic gastritis causes heartburn, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting.</li>
<li>Pancreatitis. It may result into hemorrhage resulting in death.</li>

The above facts make it crystal clear that alcohol and narcotic drugs not only take away the hard-earned money of the people but also their intellect and health and leave them worthless. Caliph Omar was wise when he prayed in earlier 7th century for the ban saying intoxicants take away the money and the intellect. Allah the Omniscient, the All-Wise Who cares for the welfare of his bondmen banned intoxicants and delivered them from the pernicious evil.<br />
Now in 20th century all the sensible world is making a lot of hue and cry to stop alcoholism only to learn that it is reaching epidemic proportions.<br />

(Holy Qur'an 42:29)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
On 7th August 1996, NASA (1) scientists made an announcement that made front page headlines throughout the world. Within a Martian meteorite, they had found evidence of a microscopic life form that may have existed on Mars more than three billion years ago. (2) Although other studies were later published which challenged this conclusion, (3) numerous recent discoveries, for example, the discovery by the Galileo spacecraft, (4) in February 1997, of a possible red-coloured sea under the ice crust of Jupiter's moon, Europa, (5) are raising hopes that we may soon be able to get an answer to one of the oldest and most interesting questions asked by humans-"Is anyone out there, or are we alone in the universe?"</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
However, it may be that none of us may live to see the day when scientists will give us a definitive answer to this question. For Muslims, that should not be a problem. We already have the answer. Although many Muslims are unaware of the fact, the Qur'an (6) explicitly mentions the existence of extraterrestrial life.<br />
<br />
The existence of creatures of a spiritual nature, such as angels, in the universe, is accepted as a fact by all Muslims, as well as people of other religions, such as Christians. The point that generates excitement among the public, and scientists is the question of whether material life forms like ourselves, which can be found by science, do actually exist outside the earth. (7) The objective of this article is to present evidence from the Qur'an for the existence in the universe, of MATERIAL life forms ("Life as we know it").<br />

In Sura 42, Verse 29 (42: 29) of the Qur'an, we are told, <br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Among His (God's) signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them : and He has power to gather them together when He wills.</span> " </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">(8) Before proceeding further, a point or two must be noted. The word "sama", translated "heavens", is also the Arabic for "sky". One may object that the verse refers to creatures in the sky (which would be birds), not in the heavens. However, birds are mentioned separately from creatures of the heavens in 24: 41, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Seest thou not that it is God Whose praise all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate, and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread?</span> . . . " </b><br />
<br />
(9) </div><div class="MsoNormal">In a note to 42; 29, Muhammad Asad states, "In the Qur'an, the expression "the heavens and earth" invariably denotes the universe in its entirety. " (10) The Qur'an mentions that inanimate objects also worship God: </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Do they not look at God's creation, (even) among (inanimate) things- how their (very) shadows turn round, from right to left, prostrating themselves to God. . .

No. The next verse, 16: 49 goes, "And to God doth obeisance all that is in the heavens and earth, whether moving (living) creatures or the angels. . . ". (12) The word translated "living creatures" here is the same as that in 42: 29- "Dabbatun". Comments Asad, "The word dabbah denotes any sentient, corporeal being capable of spontaneous movement and is contrasted here with the non-corporeal, spiritual beings designated as "angels" ". (13) In other words, 42: 29 is referring to precisely the type of life forms that science is searching for, not some metaphysical entities. Yusuf Ali says, "Dabbatun: beasts, living, crawling creatures of all kind. " (14) This is the same word used in 2: 164, ". . . in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth. . . are signs for a people that are wise, " (15) and in 24: 45, "And God has created every animal from water: of them are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. God creates what he wills. . . " (16) Commenting on 42: 29, Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani says, "From the verse it appears that like on the earth, there are some kinds of animals- living creatures- in the heavens also. " (17) On the same verse, Yusuf Ali comments, "Life is not confined to our one little Planet. It is a very old speculation to imagine some life like human life on the planet Mars. . . it is reasonable to suppose that Life in some form or other is scattered through some of the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space. " (18) >From such remarks, the reader will realize that Muslim scholars are well aware of the fact that 42: 29 clearly mentions the existence of aliens.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Is There Any Alien Intelligent Life ?</b><br />
Although the discovery of any form of life outside the earth would be dramatic, humankind is especially interested in knowing whether there is any alien intelligent life in the universe. NASA previously had a program on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Although now scrapped due to budget cuts, private SETI organizations (19) have now been made which continue the search. The Planetary Society, (20) a private organization, in which the film director Steven Speilberg (21) is a member of the Board of Directors, has the largest SETI program in the world. So far, no sign of alien intelligent life has turned up. Can the Qur'an provide an answer?<br />
Sura 27: 65 commands, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except God, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgement). "</span> (22) </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">This shows that, like humans, there are other creatures in the universe that will also be raised from the dead. We are told in 19: 93-96, "Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (God) Most Gracious as a servant. He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgement. On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (God) Most Gracious bestow love. " (23) From these verses we learn that there are alien life forms that, like us, will also be judged according to the works that they do during their lives. Among them are the believers. Therefore, naturally, there will also be those aliens who are unbelievers. The believers will be rewarded. The life forms being described in the above verses can hardly be expected to be microorganisms. The Qur'an is referring to creatures of a level of development that makes them morally accountable beings. They must be organisms possessing qualities which we would ascribe to intelligent life forms.<br />
<br />
In Sura 72: 14-15, jinn (a type of spiritual life form, which the Qur'an mention as living on the earth) say, <b><span style="color: green;">"Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to God), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills- they have sought out (the path) of right conduct: But those who swerve- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire. " </span>(24)</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Qur'an mentions that good jinn will be rewarded with Paradise. Summing up from all the above verses, it is clear that Judgement Day is for creatures in the whole universe (<b>Sura 39: 68- </b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"The Trumpet will (just) be sounded when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please God (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on! ")</span> (25) </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1k6xh8NnPXunC2QE4hPc592QlNttucJ_y_WibQKAtNTSVU_BijO3hkvZ93xHPH7AkzgQRLYKYFNgT9gfROVpwwS_gNSKcDNosK8Rklnt-I6V5WfAmBB7dEc_OPqKcFQmsCLTURI-W0bbm/s1600/alien_poster_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1k6xh8NnPXunC2QE4hPc592QlNttucJ_y_WibQKAtNTSVU_BijO3hkvZ93xHPH7AkzgQRLYKYFNgT9gfROVpwwS_gNSKcDNosK8Rklnt-I6V5WfAmBB7dEc_OPqKcFQmsCLTURI-W0bbm/s320/alien_poster_small.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal">and like jinn, aliens will also be sharing Paradise and Hell with humans. In fact, the Qur'an mentions that Paradise is of a size like that of our present universe- 57: 21, <b><span style="color: green;">"Therefore (vie) with one another for the pardon of your Lord, and for a Paradise as vast as heaven and earh, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His apostles.</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: green;"> </span>" (26) Therefore, it is not surprising that when we are sharing this universe with aliens, we should share Paradise and Hell with them too. The Qur'an shows us, therefore, that not only do aliens exist, but among them are also intelligent beings.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Where Can Aliens be Found?</b><br />
Knowing that aliens, including intelligent life forms exist elsewhere, our next question would be, "Where do they live? "Scientists naturally expect them to live on planets. They look for other planets around other stars- planets that have the right conditions to harbour life- in other words, other earths. In October 1995, scientists announced the discovery of the first extra-solar planet around the star 51 Pegasi. (27) Since then, there have been a string of discoveries of other planets. At the time of writing of this article, fifteen planets have been claimed to have been discovered. (28) Although some of these objects have been dismissed as brown dwarfs (including the object around Pegasi 51) by some scientists, (29) at least some of the fifteen objects are agreed upon as being planets. Scientists believe that on potential moons around planets found to be orbiting two stars, the right conditions may exist for life to be present. (30)<br />
<br />
In Sura 65: 12, we are informed, <span style="color: green;">"<b>God is He Who created seven heavens and of the earth a similar number. . . </b>" </span>(31)<br />
This verse, although usually translated properly, is very commonly misinterpreted by commentators. They give their interpretation that space is divided into seven zones, and likewise, as Yusuf Ali puts it, "the crust of the earth is built up of geological strata one above another". (32) This interpretation arises due to a misunderstanding of what a "heaven" is as mentioned in the Qur'an. Before continuing further about the topic of aliens, it is necessary to clear up this confusion. The answer can be deduced from verses in the Qur'an itself and comparing them with our current scientific knowledge about the universe.<br />
<br />
Sura 21: 30 asks,<b> <span style="color: green;">"Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder?</span> . . . " (33)</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sura 41: 11-12 tell us, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: come both of you, willingly or loth. . . Then We ordained them seven heavens. . . and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and We decked the lowest heaven with lamps. . . "</span></b> </div><div class="MsoNormal">(34) </div><div class="MsoNormal">and Sura 71: 15-16, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;"><b>"See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony, and hath made the moon a light therin, and made the sun a lamp? </b>"</span> (35) Sura 51: 47 informs us, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"And it is We who have built the universe with (Our creative) power; and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. "</span> (36) </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Asad, comments on the above verses as follows: about 21: 30, ". . . the above unmistakable reference to the unitary origin of the universe- metonymically described in the Qur'an as "the heavens and the earth"- strikingly anticipates the view of almost all modern astrophysicists that this universe has originated as one entity from one single element, namely, hydrogen, which became subsequently consolidated through gravity and then separated into individual nebulae, galaxies, and solar systems, with individual parts progressively breaking away to form new entities in the shape of stars, planets and the latter's satellites"; (37) about 41: 11, he explains the word "smoke" as, "a gas- evidently hydrogen gas, which physicists regard as the primal element from which all material particles of the universe have evolved and still evolve. . . " (38) and says about the verse, "explaining this passage, Zamakhshari observes: "The meaning of God's command to the skies (heavens) and the earth to "come". . . is this: He willed their coming into being. . . ""; for 41: 12, he explains "seven heavens" as, "a multiplicity of cosmic systems"; (39) about 51: 47 he says, "the phrase "inna la-musi'un" clearly foreshadows the modern notion of the "expanding universe"- that is, the fact that the cosmos, though finite in extent, is continuously expanding in space. " (40) Finally, three more verses need to be referred to- 50: 38, "And verily We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. . . and naught of weariness touched us" (41) , 21: 104, "The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is a promise binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it" (42) , and 14: 48, "One day the Earth will be changed to a different Earth, and so will be the heavens. . . " (43)<br />
<br />
From the verses above, we learn this from the Qur'an: a heaven is a material entity which arose from the same material as the earth originated from. Initially, there was one gaseous mass. A cleavage process occurred resulting in the making of the "seven heavens" and "all that lies between them". The sun, moon and earth are constituents of a heaven. Therefore, a heaven must be larger than a star (sun). When the end of the universe is at hand, the heavens, which till then were in an expanding universe (51: 47) will come together. Then, the way our present universe came into being, in a similar manner, a new creation will come into being, containing other heavens and another earth. Any astronomer reading these verses can tell you that there is only one entity that fits the description of a heaven in the Qur'an- a "heaven" in the Qur'an must be referring to a "galaxy". According to modern science, the universe arose from a singularity, at the Big Bang, and has since, been expanding. From a primordial gas cloud arose huge fragments from which the galaxies and their clusters arose. Today, the galaxies are moving apart from each other in space. They are separated by intergalactic space in which may lurk invisible dark matter, making up to 90% of the total mass of the universe. if there is sufficient dark matter, at some time in the future, the universe will stop expanding and enter a contraction phase in which the galaxies will finally come close together in a Big Crunch marking an end to the present universe. The universe would have returned to a singularity state similar to that from which the present universe arose. Then, once again, scientists predict, a new universe may rebound from the singularity of the Big Crunch, as another Big Bang gives rise to a universe with its own galaxies and planets etc. Verses in the Qur'an agree amazingly with our current ideas about the universe!<br />
<br />
The purpose of our lengthy divergence from the main topic of this article was to prove that the "seven heavens" are not zones into which the universe is divided, but large astronomical entities, the galaxies. Some people have interpreted a heaven as being a solar system. However, while this view may seem appropriate for some verses, it does not tally with all the verses.<br />
<br />
The Qur'an mentions the creation of seven heavens. Asad explains that, ". . . as regards the "seven heavens", it is to be borne in mind that in Arabic usage. . . the number "seven" is often synonymous with "several". " (44) I have shown that the heavens are the galaxies and we can see that millions of them exist. Even if we assume that the heaven are some other astronomical objects that arose from the primary gas cloud, they definitely are not literally seven in number, but in the millions.<br />
<br />
The relevance of this to our discussion on aliens is that the Sura 65: 12 tells us that, as God has created "seven Heavens", He has created, "of the earth a similar number. . . " Therefore, as there are millions of galaxies, God has also created millions of earths scattered throughout the universe. Usmani comments on 65: 12, "The earths as well, He created seven (Usmani thinks literally seven. We know it actually means "many"), as given in the Tradition of Tirmizi etc. It is possible they are not visible, it is possible they are visible, but people think them to be stars or planets, as the scientists of today have predicted the possibility of life on Mars etc. . . " (45) An important thing to point out in 65: 12 is that God does not use the word "worlds", but specifically, "earth". An 'earth' would be a planet that harbours life. Scientists also often speak of looking for other earths. They mean not just any planet, but one sustaining or capable of sustaining life. In his book, The Bible, The Qur'an and Science, Maurice Bucaille writes, ". . . it comes as no small surprise to the reader of the Qur'an to find that earths such as our own may be found in the Universe. . . " (46)<br />
<br />
We have finally arrived at the Qur'an's answer as to where aliens can be found. They inhabit the millions of earths that God has created among the millions of heavens (galaxies) in the universe. The Qur'an therefore, gives us a magnificent view of the universe- a universe teeming with life, a place that the late astronomer Carl Sagan described as a "cosmic fugue, with themes and counter- points, dissonances and harmonies, a billion different voices playing the life music. " (47)<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Will we ever Discover Aliens?</b><br />
So far, we have learnt from the Qur'an that extraterrestrial life, including intelligent life, exists throughout countless earths in the universe. But this is not sufficient to satisfy our curiosity. We want scientists to actually discover aliens. Only after we have found incontrovertible scientific evidence that aliens exist, will our (unbelieving) hearts see that the Qur'an was correct all along. We actually won't be satisfied till we meet an alien face to face. Is there any chance that in the future we will actually discover, through science, the existence of aliens and establish some kind of contact with them or even meet them?<br />
<br />
To get some idea on this matter, we must return to Sura 42: 29. We are told over there that the scattering of living creatures in the heavens and the earth is a "sign". What is a sign? Sura 6: 104 says,</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Momentous signs have come to you from your Lord. He that sees them shall himself have much to gain, but he who is blind to them shall lose much.</span> "</b> (48) </div><div class="MsoNormal">Sura 6: 109, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"They solemly swear by Allah that if a sign be given them they would believe in it. "</span></b> (49) Sura 7: 73, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;">"A clear proof has come to you from your Lord. Here is Allah's she-camel: a sign for you.</span> " (50) Clearly, a sign is something which we can see, or at least, experience with our senses. Otherwise, it would not be a sign. Some signs are those that God showed to humans in the past. Other signs remain for God to show us in the future-</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions, and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth"</span> </b>(41: 53). (51) </div><div class="MsoNormal">THERFORE, SURA 42: 29 CONTAINS A PROPHESY THAT A TIME WILL INDEED COME IN THE FUTUTE WHEN HUMANS WILL DISCOVER ALIENS.<br />
<br />
In Sura 55: 33-34, we are addressed, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;"><b>"O ye assembly of Jinn and men! If it be you can pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, pass ye! Not without authority will ye be able to pass! Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? </b>"</span> (52) </div><div class="MsoNormal">Why does God ask us to go into space? There must be some purpose. Maybe it be for us to fulfill some grand destiny in store for our species- maybe to become a galactic race, a respectable part of the galactic community of civilizations. Maybe, it is our travels in space that may lead to our encounter with aliens and fulfill the prophesy in 42: 29. Only time will tell. In anticipation of the time when we become space-travellers, we are told in Sura 29: 22, "Neither on earth nor in heaven shall you be beyond reach: nor have you any guardian or helper besides Allah. " (53)<br />
<br />
To reach other civilizations, we must be capable of feasible interstellar transport. Might we one day be capable of undertaking such a voyage? Sura 16: 8 says, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;"><b>"And (it is He Who creates) horses and mules for you to ride. . . and He will yet create things of which (today) you have no knowledge. "</b> </span>(54) </div><div class="MsoNormal">The latter part of this verse is often translated in the present tense but as Asad points out, "The use in this context, of the aorist "yakhluqu" implies the future tense ("He will create") . . . Since this reference to God's continuing creation comes immediately after a mention of primitive means of transport, it obviously relates to other- as yet unknown- things of the same category: that is to say, to new means of transport which God unceasingly creates through the instrumentality of the inventiveness with which He has endowed man's mind. " (55) Therefore, it is possible that we may one day make the spacecraft required for interstellar travel. After all, God Himself has encouraged us to, "pass beyond the regions of the heavens". Sura 42: 29 ends with the statement that God has the power to gather the creatures of the heavens and earth together if He wills. This also points to the possibility of our meeting aliens in the future. However, this gathering may well refer to that which will occur on Judgement Day as mentioned in Sura 19: 93-96 (see above).<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Man's Position Among Creation</b><br />
The most revolutionary discoveries in history have been those which altered the way humans perceived themselves in the universe. We discovered that the earth was not at the centre of the universe. We discovered that our Sun was a very ordinary star located in an insignificant part of an ordinary galaxy, which was only one of millions of galaxies. These discoveries should have humbled us. Yet, even today, many of us triumphantly proclaim ourselves as being the most supreme creation of God. It is common to ascribe our cherished position among all living things to our higher intellectual abilities. If we were to find out that there are other intelligent beings in the universe, and that some may be intellectually more superior to us, where would that leave us ? Would we finally be dethroned?<br />
<br />
Sura 17: 70 informs us, <b><span style="color: green;">"Verily We have honoured the children of Adam. . . and preferred them above many of those whom We created with a marked preferment. "</span></b> (56) Many translations fail to mention the "marked preferment" in the verse, although the verse contains the Arabic "tafzelan" which conveys this. Note that the verse mentions that there are other creatures besides humans, who have also been given a position of distinction, and humans have been preferred above many, not all, of these creatures. Usmani states in a comment on this verse, "Under this verse a debate is opened: Who is superior- Man or Angel? But logically this verse does not decide the issue. " (57) Another scholar has written, "From this (verse) it is evident that whatever superiority humans have got over other creatures is not whole. Allah's creatures contain such creatures upon which humans have got no superiority. "It must be remembered here that while so far we have been discussing material alien life forms, the debate of man's position in creation includes both material and spiritual creatures of God. Some early authorities, such as Hasan, have not accepted the word "akser" mentioned in 17: 70 as meaning "many". Hasan maintains that the word "akser", as used in 17: 70, should be understood as meaning "all", since the same word is used in 26: 233 and 10: 36, where it would be inappropriate to take its meaning as "many" but rather as "all". With such a substitution in verse 17: 70, the meaning would be altered to mean that man is preferred by God over all creatures.<br />
<br />
The debate on man's status continues among scholars and also among the public. Let us make an analogy to the debate of whether man is superior to woman. Suppose for a moment that we hand the trophy to man and let him enjoy his "superior" position. On the Day of Judgement, it will only be deeds that count and good women will go to Paradise and bad men will burn in Hell. Who would have been more superior? As you can see, in the final analysis, any debate on the status of a race, or species is useless. From earlier verses mentioned in this article, the reader will remember that, according to the Qur'an, God will judge humans as well as aliens on the basis of their deeds and reward them accordingly. Many humans will be sent to Hell for their wrongdoings. At the same time there will be aliens who will be rewarded for their good deeds. Who would be more superior- the unbelieving human or the faithful alien? The answer is obvious. Therefore, what's the use of debating this point? Status of a creature is relative to its moral conduct. Sura 95: 4-5 states, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"Surely We created man of the best stature, then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. "</span></b> (58)<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Islam and the Geocentric Universe</b><br />
It is the fanciful idea of religion-bashers that the discovery of extraterrestrial life will undermine any remaining credibility that religion may have. In the case of Islam, as one can see from this discussion, that can hardly be the case. On the contrary, such a discovery would verify the truth of the statements contained in the Qur'an relating to the subject of alien life, and strengthen the position of Muslims. The vision of Islam is that of a truly universal religion. It is far removed from the exclusiveness of Judaism ("We are the Chosen Ones for God's message"). It is a pity that the image of all religions has suffered a setback from the great scandal of the Church- its treatment of Galileo, for (rightly) challenging their views of a geocentric universe, in which Man was The Central Figure in God's Plan of Creation, living on a planet around which all the rest of creation revolved.<br />
<br />
The Qur'an gives us a picture of our place in the universe that is quite different. In Sura 40: 57, God says,</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;"><b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: yet most men understand not. </b>"</span> (59) </div><div class="MsoNormal">Comments Yusuf Ali, "Man is himself a tiny part of creation. Why should he be so ego-centric? " (60) No one race of humans was chosen to be the exclusive custodians of the truth. Sura 16: 36 tells us, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: green;">"For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the command), "Serve God, and eschew Evil</span>": </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">of the people were some whom God guided, and others on whom Error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth). " (61) According to some Traditions of The Prophet (pbuh), 124, 000 messengers have been sent into the world by God, throughout the ages to people all over the world. No nation was denied access to the Truth. Even on earth, guidance was provided not only to humans, but also the Jinn who co-habit this planet with us- 6: 130: "(Then He will say): "Jinn and men! Did there not come to you apostles of your own who proclaimed to you my revelations and warned you of this day? " (62) . God's bounty, according to Islam, is not confined to creatures of the earth because He is, </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: green;">". . . Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds"</span> (45: 36). (63) </div><div class="MsoNormal">To the people were sent revealed Books also, the last of which is the Qur'an. About the Qur'an itself, we are told in 43: 4, "It is in the Mother Book with Us, sublime and full of wisdom. " (64) About other planets, S. Bashir-ud-din Mahmood has this to say, "On the basis of the interpretation of verse 65: 12 by Ibn-e-Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him), we can say that inhabitants of these worlds must have their religion like ours and so the Holy Books. They all come from the same "Supreme Source" of revelation from where the Holy Qur'an originated for us on the Earth. It is evident from the verse of the Holy Qur'an" (i.e.. 43; 4. All Books come from the "Mother Book with Us"). (65) The very first verse of the Qur'an begins, "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. " (66)<br />
<br />
Summing up, while the Qur'an does point out that man has a favoured position on earth, (2: 30- "Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth. ""; (67) 2: 34- "We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam. . . "" (68) 95: 4- We have indeed created man in the best of moulds. " (69) ) there are other creatures of God who have also been favoured in the universe (17: 70). Humans are just a small part of God's creation (40: 57). When they act wrongly, they are reduced to the lowest of the low (95: 5). Salvation is not only for some race of humans, but for all humans and creatures throughout the universe. There is a grand destiny planned by God for all of them. All humans as well as aliens who follow the guidance that God sent to their respective planets, will be rewarded (19: 96). ". . . it is God Whose praise all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate. . . " (24: 41). (70) All will return to Him. How far the picture of the universe that Islam paints is from that of a geocentric universe!<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Conclusion - A "Secret" Waiting to be Told</b><br />
If the Qur'an is so explicit in stating the existence of living organisms in the universe (42: 29), we would suppose that the Muslim population would generally be aware of the fact that the Qur'an mentions extraterrestrials. Unfortunately that is not the case. A significant proportion of Muslims have no idea that this exciting piece of information is provided in their Holy Book. I have quoted a number of scholars in this article, who have commented on the verses relating to extraterrestrials. Among them are those such as Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Asad, whose works are known to Muslims throughout the world. Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani was a prominent figure in the Freedom Movement of Pakistan. All scholars quoted are from the mainstream of Islam. So, at least, Muslim scholars are aware of the Qur'an mentioning aliens. Yet, there are scholars also who have no idea about this subject. Surprisingly, even Maurice Bucaille, whose brilliant book, The Bible, The Qur'an and Science is extensive in its coverage of scientific topics in the Qur'an, completely overlooked the mention of aliens.<br />
<br />
How aware were the early Muslims, about the existence of extraterrestrials, or verses in the Qur'an on this topic? Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood writes, "The idea that there is life elsewhere in the universe also, was derived from the Prophet of Allah (pbuh) when he told Muslims, "When you sit down in the prayer for the Attahiyat and say: "Peace be upon us, and the righteous servants of Allah" you actually send peace on all the righteous people living on the Earth and in the heavens. "This clearly implies that all type of people, good and bad live in the other worlds as they live on our Earth. " (71) He also writes, with reference to the Rasial Imam Ghazali, "According to Imam Muhammad Ghazali (11th Century), people in some of these planetary worlds have learnt to travel and communicate with each other. " (72)<br />
<br />
The case of Ibn-e-Abbas is interesting. He was one of the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh). The Prophet (pbuh) had prayed to God specially to endow Ibn-e-Abbas(73) with knowledge of the Qur'an, and he became one of the great scholars of the Qur'an. Maulana Maududi writing in his Tafhim-ul-Qur'an, tells us that, "Ibn-e-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). . . believed with confidence that there are many more earth-like bodies in the heavens. . . . He not only thought that such earths are inhabited by intelligent beings but also that their people are exactly like the inhabitants on the Earth. He even went so far as to say that they may have a Prophet like Muhammad (pbuh), and had a Adam, like our Adam, a Noah, like our Noah, an Ibrahim like our Ibrahim, and a Jesus like our Jesus (pbut). " (74) The knowledge of the existence of aliens and that they are mentioned in the Qur'an, has been present among Muslims from the earliest days of Islam!<br />
<br />
There is something else that we know about Ibn-e-Abbas. He did not widely publicize his views about aliens. Rather, he was quite secretive about this matter. The reason is that he was afraid that his ideas would confuse people. In fact, he was afraid that people would be in danger of becoming unbelievers by not accepting the truth of this matter, which the Qur'an itself attested to. Perhaps it was such considerations that lead Muslim scholars of later times not to touch on the topic of aliens much, and so today, also, so many Muslims remain unaware about this matter. But times have changed. We've come a long way in our voyage of discovery of the wonders that surround us. The recent discoveries of extra-solar planets, of ice on the moon (75) , of microbes deep beneath the earth's surface and around thermal vents in the oceans (76) , of water on the sun (77) and many other amazing findings are setting the stage for a grand finale. The public is mentally prepared to hear soon about the discovery of life outside the earth.<br />
<br />
In recent times, Muslims have missed golden opportunities of propagating their religion to the peoples of the world. For example, the Qur'an mentions the expansion of the universe. This phenomenon was discovered by scientists only in 1929. If Muslims had let the world know beforehand, that the Qur'an mentioned this fact, then upon its discovery, a big impact could have been made on the non-Muslim world. We would have shown the world the power, the miracle, of the Qur'an. Of course, even today, the miracle remains that the Qur'an mentions the expansion of the universe, but non-Muslims tend to say, "Now you tell us, after science has already discovered this! You must be construing the meaning of Qur'anic verses to suit your wishes. "<br />
<br />
Today, as we stand at the threshold of making the most revolutionary discovery in the history of humankind, we Muslims should ask ourselves, "Hasn't the time finally come for the "secret" that Ibn-e-Abbas held to be made known to the whole world? "Yes, the time is ripe. Let the world know, before it discovers for itself, that 1400 years ago in the deserts of Arabia, a prophet received revelations, mentioning the existence of extraterrestrial life through countless heavenly bodies in the universe, and prophesying that one day, humans will indeed discover aliens.<br />
<br />
The Qur'an contains many amazing statements relating to science. There is no reason to believe that it has finally yielded all of its scientific secrets and as we enter the next century, we can be confidant that the Qur'an will continue to shed light on some of the most enduring and intriguing scientific mysteries of our times.<br />

<a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/fewf.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="200" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/fewf.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="fewf" width="200" /></a>Alcohol has been the scourge of human society since time immemorial. It continues to cost countless human lives, and causes terrible misery to millions throughout the world. Alcohol is the root cause of several problems facing society. The statistics of soaring crime rates, increasing instances of mental illnesses and millions of broken homes throughout the world bear mute testimony to the destructive power of alcohol.<br />
<b><br />
<b>1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prohibition of alcohol in the Qur’an</span></b> </b><br />
The Glorious Qur’an prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verse:<br />
<b><span style="color: green;">“O ye who believe! Intoxicants and Gambling, (Dedication of) stones, And (divination by) arrows, Are an Abomination Of Satan’s handiwork; Eschew such (abomination), That ye may prosper.” [Al-Qur’an 5:90]</span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><br />
<b>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prohibition of alcohol in the Bible</span></b></b><br />
The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:<br />
<ol><li><span style="color: navy;">“<b>Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”[Proverbs 20:1]</b></span></li>
</ol><ol><li><b><span style="color: navy;">“And be not drunk with wine.” [Ephesians 5:18]</span></b></li>
</ol><b><br />
<b>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centre</span></b></b><br />
The human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For instance a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public. Therefore he uses the toilet.<br />
When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that an inebriated person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate in their clothes. Neither do they talk nor walk properly. They even misbehave.<br />
4<b>. Cases of adultery, rape, incest and AIDS are found more among </b><b>alcoholics</b><br />
According to National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) in the year 1996 alone everyday on an average 2,713 rapes took place. The statistics tell us that the majority of the rapists, were intoxicated while committing the crime. The same is true in cases of molestation.<br />
According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved.<br />
One of the major factors associated with the spread of AIDS, the most dreaded disease, is alcoholism.<br />
<b><br />
5. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Every alcoholic was initially a social drinker</span></b><br />
Man<b><span style="color: green;"><a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/feew.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="211" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/feew.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="feew" width="320" /></a></span></b>y may argue in favour of liquor by calling themselves ‘social drinkers’. They claim that they only have one or two pegs and they have self-control and so never get intoxicated. Investigations reveal that every alcoholic started as a social drinker. Not a single alcoholic or drunkard initially starts drinking with the intention of becoming an alcoholic or a drunkard. No social drinker can say that I have been having alcohol for several years and that I have so much self-control that I have never been intoxicated even a single time.<br />
<b><br />
6. <b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If a person is intoxicated just once and commits something shameful, it will remain with him for a lifetime.</span></b></b><br />
Suppose a ‘social drinker’ loses his self-control just once. In a state of intoxication he commits rape or incest. Even if the act is later regretted, a normal human being is likely to carry the guilt throughout his life. Both the perpetrator and the victim are irreparably and irreversibly damaged.<br />
<b><br />
<b>7. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Al</span></b></b><b><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">cohol is prohibited in the Hadith</span></b></b><br />
The Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:<br />
<ol><li>In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3371.</li>
</ol><b><span style="color: maroon;">“Alcohol is the mother of all evils and it is the most shameful of evils.”</span></b><br />
<ol><li>In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3392</li>
</ol><b><span style="color: maroon;">“Anything which intoxicates in a large quantity, is prohibited even in a small quantity.” Thus there is no excuse for a nip or a tot.</span></b><br />
<ol><li>Not only those who drink alcohol are cursed but also those who deal with them directly or indirectly are cursed by Allah.</li>
</ol>According to Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3380.<br />
It was reported by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:<br />
<b><a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/fsfe.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="320" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/fsfe.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="fsfe" width="265" /></a></b><b><span style="color: maroon;">“God’s curse falls on ten groups of people who deal with alcohol. The one who distills it, the one for whom it has been distilled, the one who drinks it, the one who transports it, the one to who it has been brought, the one whom serves it, the one who sells it, the one who utilizes money from it, the one who buys it and the one who buys it for someone else.”</span></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><b><b>8. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dise</span></b></b><b><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ases associated with alcoholism</span></b></b><br />
There are several scientific reasons for the prohibition of consumption of intoxicants i.e. alcohol. The maximum number of deaths in the world related to any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people die every year only because of intake of alcohol. I need not go into the details of all the ill-effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below is a simple list of few of the alcohol related illnesses:<br />
<ol><li>Cirrhosis of Liver is the most well known alcohol associated disease.</li>
<li>Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc.</li>
<li>Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol consumption.</li>
<li>Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina and Heart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes.</li>
<li>Strokes, Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with alcohol intake.</li>
<li>Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known syndromes caused by alcohol consumption.</li>
<li>Wernicke – Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events, confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol intake.</li>
<li>Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. Even Pellagra occurs in alcoholics.</li>
<li>Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if treated in well equipped centres.</li>
</ol>10. Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome.<br />
11. Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency, however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive’s syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia, Jaundice and Hyperlipaedemia that follows alcoholic binges.<br />
12. Thrombocytopenia and other platelet abnormalities are not rare in alcoholics.<br />
13. The commonly used tablet metronidazole (flagyl) interacts badly with alcohol.<br />
14. Recurrent infection is very common among chronic alcoholics. The resistance to disease and the immunological defense system are compromised by alcohol intake.<br />
15. Chest infections are notorious in alcoholics. Pneumonia, Lung Abcess, Emphysema and Pulmonary Tuberculosis are all common in alcoholics.<br />
16. During acute alcoholic intoxication, the drunk person usually vomits, the cough reflexes which are protective are paralysed. The vomitus thus easily pass to the lung causing Pneumonia or Lung Abscess. Occasionally it may even cause suffocation and death.<br />
17. The ill effects of alcohol consumption on women deserves special mention. Females are more vulnerable to alcohol-related Cirrhosis than men. During pregnancy alcohol consumption has a severe detrimental effect on the foetus. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is being recognised more and more in the medical profession.<br />
18. Skin diseases are also related to alcohol indulgence.<br />
19. Eczema, Alopecia, Nail Dystrophy, Paronychia (infection around the nails) and Angular Stomatitis (inflammation of the angle of the mouth) are common diseases among alcoholics.<br />

Medical doctors have now turned liberal towards alcoholics and call alcoholism a disease rather than an addiction.<br />
The Islamic Research Foundation has published a pamphlet that says:<br />
If alcohol is a disease, it is the only disease that:<br />
- Is sold in bottles<br />
- Is advertised in newspapers, magazines, on radio and television<br />
- Has licensed outlets to spread it<br />
- Produces revenue for the government<br />
- Brings violent deaths on the highways<br />
- Destroys family life and increases crime<br />
- Has no germs or viral cause<br />
<b>ALCOHOLISM IS NOT A DISEASE – IT IS SATAN’S HANDIWORK </b><br />
Allah (swt) in His Infinite Wisdom has warned us against this snare of Satan. Islam is called the “<i>Deen-ul-Fitrah</i>” or the natural religion of Man. All its injunctions are aimed at preserving the natural state of man. Alcohol is a deviation from this natural state, for the individual as well as for society. It degrades man to a level below that of the beasts he claims to be superior to. Hence the consumption of alcohol is prohibited in Islam.</div></div>Sharear Azamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14750674750420282488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080872215086962126.post-72097767704397705892012-07-30T12:42:00.000-07:002013-01-31T19:20:40.124-08:00Truth destination<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

As a result of experiments he performed in 1973, Professor Benjamin Libet, a neurophysiologist at the University of California, revealed that all our decisions and choices are set out beforehand, and that <br />
<a name='more'></a>consciousness only comes into play half a second after everything has been determined.45 This is interpreted by other neurophysiologists as meaning that we actually live in the past and that our consciousness is like a monitor which shows us everything half a second later. Therefore, none of the experiences we perceive are in real time, but are delayed by up to half a second from the real events themselves. Libet carried out his research by making use of the fact that brain surgery can be performed without the use of narcosis, in other words while the subject is fully conscious. Libet stimulated the brains of his subjects with small electrical currents, and when they experienced a perception that their hands had been touched the subjects said that they had felt that “touch” almost half a second before. As a result of his measurements, Libet arrived at the following conclusion: All perceptions are normally transmitted to the brain. As these are subconsciously evaluated and interpreted, the ego is unaware of anything. The information that appears before our minds, in other words that we can be aware of, is transmitted to the cortex, the seat of consciousness, after a certain delay.46 The conclusion from this may be summarised as follows: The decision to move a muscle takes place before that decision reaches the consciousness. There is always a delay between <a href="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/cerebrum-areas1.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" src="http://alquranandmodernscience.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/cerebrum-areas1.jpg?w=593" style="display: inline; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 0pt 0pt;" title="cerebrum areas" /></a>a neurological or perceptual process and our becoming aware of the thought, feeling, perception or movement it represents. To put it another way, we can only be aware of a decision after that decision has been taken. In Professor Libet’s experiments, this delay varies between 350 and 500 milliseconds, although the conclusion that emerges is in no way dependent upon those figures. Because, according to Libet, whatever the length of that delay-it makes no difference whether it is great or small, whether it lasts an hour or a microsecond-our physical life is always in the past. This demonstrates that every thought, emotion, perception or movement happens before reaching our consciousness, and that proves that the future is entirely outside our control.47 In other experiments, Professor Libet left the choice of when the subjects would move their fingers up to them. The brains of the subjects were monitored at the moment their fingers moved, and it was observed that the relevant brain cells went into action before the subjects actually took the decision. To put it another way, the command “do!” reaches the individual, and the brain is readied to perform the action; the individual only becomes aware of this half a second later. He or she does not take a decision to act and then performs that action, but rather performs an action predetermined for him or her. Yet, the brain makes an adjustment, removing any recognition that the individual is actually living in the past. For that reason, at the moment we refer to as “now,” we are actually living something determined in the past. As already discussed, these studies manifest the fact that everything happens by the will of Allah, as revealed in Surat al-Insan 30.

The description of mountains “echoing” in the above verse may be a reference to the way that radios work. (Allah knows the truth.) The basic principles on which radios operate may be summarized as follows: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The radio system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter takes the message to be sent, encodes it in what is known as a “sinus wave” and transmits it in the form of waves.<br />
<a name='more'></a>The receiver takes in the radio waves and deciphers the message sent on the sinus wave. In this way, the message is received in exactly the same form as it was sent. The word “awwibi,” translated as “echo” in the above verse and meaning “sound being repeated or returned”, may very well be a reference to the transmission of these radio waves. (Allah knows the truth.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhqTDDoM8DDYs4EBpjxLzifGwLmZMPN3uoF-C1d-Dqox-78rTibWuZpS9625i2v6XAjP619f8s0tIc6RsvKohc0_3rxRgioCaT3WSGnU5UAYxDHnUqPnKuCgy8iv4DN_3_7Uvd2vzgQgh/s1600/162a.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFhqTDDoM8DDYs4EBpjxLzifGwLmZMPN3uoF-C1d-Dqox-78rTibWuZpS9625i2v6XAjP619f8s0tIc6RsvKohc0_3rxRgioCaT3WSGnU5UAYxDHnUqPnKuCgy8iv4DN_3_7Uvd2vzgQgh/s400/162a.jpg" width="400" /></a>Sounds emitted in the form of sound waves by way of an antenna in order that the receiver can take in the data sent are also met by an antenna linked to the receiver. The purpose behind using antennae is the transmission into space of the waves emitted by the radio transmitter. The receiving antenna is intended to collect as many radio waves and messages as possible. That is why NASA uses giant antennae bowls 70 meters across for its satellites millions of kilometers away in space. <br />
<br />
There are also radio telescopes which use radio waves to form images. Since radio waves are very long, a radio telescope has to be much larger in order to collect them as images sufficiently clear to be compared. In order to obtain sharper and better images, astronomers use a connected series of smalletelescopes or receptors. These telescopes act collectively as one very large one. And in physical appearance, these series resemble mountain systems. <br />
<br />
In addition, “repeaters” are employed to permit radio communications over every great distances. These devices repeat and strengthen weak signals and enable them to be transmitted over considerable distances. Such devices are generally sited on tall buildings or on the tops of mountains for preference, in order to have the greatest effect. The use of the word “awwibi,” translated as “echo” in the above verse, is exceedingly wise. The statement of, “O mountains and birds! Echo with him in his praise!’” in verse 10 of Surah Saba’ may thus be a description of that technology. Allah knows the truth. </div>

By carrying vitamins, hormones, oxygen and substances such as protein, sugar and fat absorbed during digestion to the cells, blood makes it possible for life to survive. On the other hand, it also carries various toxins and waste products that need to be expelled from the body. One of the most important tasks performed by blood is to transport substances such as urea, uric acid, keratin and carbon dioxide that need to be removed from the body. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Therefore, in the event that significant quantities of blood are consumed, the level of products in the body that should be expelled will rise considerably. That will increase the levels of urea, harmful substances transported to the kidneys for expulsion from the body. This can impair brain functions and even result in coma. That is why, because of its very nature, there will always be harmful compounds in blood, even if taken from healthy animals. If it is taken from a sick animal, various parasites and germs will also be transmitted in it. In that event, the germs may multiply and spread throughout the body. And that is the real danger. If someone consumes blood, all the germs and waste products in it may spread through the body and lead to such diseases as kidney insufficiency or liver coma. In addition, most of the microbes carried in the blood may cause other diseases by damaging the lining of the stomach and the intestines. <br />
<br />
What is more, blood is not a sterile environment; to put it another way, it is ideal for germs to grow in.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_91.html#_edn1" title="">1</a> Since microbes have excellent opportunities to feed in blood, it represents an ideal environment for them. When in equilibrium with the functions of the other fluids in the body and the immune system, blood does not support micro-organisms, and therefore disease. In a healthy individual, these micro-organisms live by making use of one another inside the body. When that environment is seriously impaired, when the internal equilibrium is damaged, in other words, they may turn into micro-organisms that cause disease when they find the appropriate surroundings. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazsInGv-Is8_U8SILJP9pvtwbCHbf4ZZhXtPmvHwJf04V2coQ_RdlBkcpmFpj1cE0cAs_-Jrg8h6Sx_QdwoRBK101W8EqFW6YdTMJXHBy30fYr6PWWYCuzjW7mm3UDV_68bWmNc9blhEQ/s1600/CELL-Red-Blood-Cell.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazsInGv-Is8_U8SILJP9pvtwbCHbf4ZZhXtPmvHwJf04V2coQ_RdlBkcpmFpj1cE0cAs_-Jrg8h6Sx_QdwoRBK101W8EqFW6YdTMJXHBy30fYr6PWWYCuzjW7mm3UDV_68bWmNc9blhEQ/s320/CELL-Red-Blood-Cell.jpg" width="320" /></a>For example, when the blood pH level (acid and alkali balance) is imbalanced because of poor nutrition or harmful chemicals, harmless microbes can change into ones that cause disease. If the body is to be healthy, the pH level of the blood should be around 7.3. Even small variations in that level may cause that balance to be impaired and cause micro-organisms to become more harmful in order to adapt to their surroundings. Blood being sterile may be compared to milk going off when left outside. Microbes already present in the blood exhibit harmful effects by adapting to their new environment.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_91.html#_edn2" title="">2</a><br />
<br />
In addition to all this, blood is not suitable for use as a food product. The level of digestible proteins such as albumin, globulin and fibrinogen is low; just 8 grams in 100 ml. of blood. The same applies to fats. In addition, blood contains a high level of hemoglobin, a complex protein that is very difficult to digest and is unacceptable to the stomach. When blood clots, the protein fibrinogen gives rise to a plate containing erythrocytes (red blood corpuscles) by turning into fibrin. Fibrin is one of the hardest proteins to digest, thus making blood even more difficult to digest. In conclusion, health experts agree that blood is unfit for human consumption in any form.After saying: <b><b style="color: #38761d;"> </b></b><br />
<br />
<b><b style="color: #38761d;">“Unlawful for you are carrion, blood and pork, and what has been consecrated to other than Allah, and animals which have been strangled, and animals which have been killed by a blow, and animals which have fallen to their death, and animals which have been gored, and animals which wild beasts have eaten – except those you are able to slaughter properly – and animals which have been sacrificed on altars, and deciding things by means of divining arrows – that is deviance…</b><span style="color: #38761d;">.” Almighty Allah goes on to say…” </span><b style="color: #38761d;">But if anyone is forced by hunger, not intending any wrongdoing, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful”</b><span style="color: #38761d;"> (meaning that an exception can be made.) (Surat al-Ma’ida, 3)</span></b><br />
<br />
People of the time were unaware of the wisdom behind it, but were protected by abiding by Allah’s prohibition. Those who believe and trust in Allah and comply with His commandments and prohibitions will enjoy auspicious lives in terms of the Hereafter and also live under Allah’s protection and infinite mercy.<br />

That tribe, according to the Qur'an, practiced a perversion never before seen in the world: homosexuality. When the Prophet Lut (as) told the people to abandon one of the greatest sins and delivered to them the message of Allah, they rejected him. They denied that he was a Prophet and continued with their horrid lifestyle. As a result of this, the tribe was destroyed in a terrible disaster by Allah.</div>

This city, in which the Prophet Lut (as) lived and which was later destroyed, is called "Sodom" in the Old Testament. It appears that this people, who lived to the north of the Red Sea, was destroyed in a manner compatible with the description in the Qur'an. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the city lay close to the Dead Sea on the present-day Israeli-Jordanian border. According to scientists, the area is covered in large deposits of sulphur. For this reason, no life in the form of animals or plants is to be found there and the region stands as a symbol of destruction.<br />
<br />
[He is] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between them, if you are people with certainty. There is no god but Him—He gives life and causes to die—your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers, the previous peoples.(Qur’an, 44:7-8)<br />
Sulphur is an element which appears as a result of volcanic eruptions. Indeed, there is clear evidence in the Qur'an that the method of destruction was earthquake and volcanic eruptions. The German archaeologist Werner Keller says this about the region:<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="229"></a>Together with the base of this mighty fissure, which runs precisely through this area, the Vale of Siddim, including Sodom and Gomorrah, plunged one day into the abyss. Their destruction came about through a great earthquake which was probably accompanied by explosions, lightning, issue of natural gas and general conflagration… The subsidence released volcanic forces that had been lying dormant deep down along the whole length of the fracture. In the upper valley of the Jordan near Bashan there are still towering craters of extinct volcanoes; great stretches of lava and deep layers of basalt have been deposited on the limestone surface.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
These layers of lava and basalt are the most important evidence showing that a volcanic eruption and earthquake once took place there. In any event Lake Lut, otherwise known as the Dead Sea, lies directly above a seismically active region-in other words, an earthquake belt:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="230"></a>The base of the dead sea is located with a tectonic rooted downfall. This valley is located in a tension stretching between the Taberiye Lake in the north, and mid of Arabah Valley in the south.230</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The technical aspect of the disaster suffered by the people of Lut has been revealed in studies carried out by geologists. These have shown that the earthquake which wiped out the people of Lut came about as the result of a very long fault line. The Jordan River drops a total of 180 metres during its 190 km course. This, and the fact that the Dead Sea is 400 metres below sea level, combined to prove that that there once took place a major geological event in and around this area. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
This interesting structure of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea comprise only part of the crack or fissure which passes through this region. It begins at the slopes of the Toros Mountains and runs southward past the southern shores of the Dead Sea, through the Arabian Desert, reaching the Gulf of Aqaba, from where it crosses the Red Sea before coming to an end in Africa. There is major volcanic activity in those areas through which the line passes. In fact, this occurs to such an extent that black basalt and lava can be found in the Mountains of Galilee in Israel, in part of the high plateaus in Jordan, the Gulf of Aqaba and other areas.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The December 1957 edition of <i>National Geographic</i> magazine contained these statements on the subject:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="231"></a>The mount of Sodom, a barren wasteland, rises sharply above the dead sea. No one has ever found the destroyed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, but scholars believe that they stood in the Vale of Siddim across from these cliffs. Possibly flood waters of the Dead Sea engulfed them following an earthquake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
One of the pieces of information regarding this destroyed city is-as revealed in Surat al-Hijr 76-that these cities are still on the main line. Geographers have identified this region as being on a line to the south-east of the Dead Sea, extending from the Arabian peninsula to Syria and Egypt. </div>

<b>We turned the place completely upside down and rained down on them stones of hard-baked clay. There are certainly Signs in that for the discerning. They were beside a road which still exists. There is certainly a Sign in that for the believers. (Qur'an, 15:74-77)</b></div>

At a time when the people of Egypt favoured a superstitious belief system over a divine belief system-the same era in which when the Children of Israel were enslaved-Allah sent the Prophet Musa (as) as a messenger to the tribe of Egypt.</div>

However, Pharaoh and his court, and the people of Egypt in general, almost universally refused to abandon their idolatrous beliefs when the Prophet Musa (as) called them to divine religion and the Oneness of Allah. The Prophet Musa (as) revealed to Pharaoh and his courtiers that they should avoid false worship, warning them of Allah's wrath. In response to this, they rose up and slandered the Prophet Musa (as): They accused him of being mad, of being a sorcerer and of falsehood. Pharaoh and his people refused to submit to the Prophet Musa (as) even though many troubles were visited upon them. They refused to accept Allah as the only God. They even held the Prophet Musa (as) responsible for what had befallen them and sought to exile him from Egypt. In the Qur'an, Allah makes this reference to the Prophet Musa (as) and the believers with him:<br />

As revealed in the Qur'an, the two communities met at the edge of the sea following this pursuit. Allah divided the sea and saved the Prophet Musa (as) and the believers with him, destroying Pharaoh and his people. This aid from Allah is revealed thus:</div>

Following a great deal of study and investigation taking this as the starting point, scientists came to striking conclusions with regard to how the sea was divided into two. These conclusions are in full agreement with those revealed in the Qur'an. The way that historical events described in the Qur'an are today illuminated by historical records is without doubt an important miracle of the book of Islam. </div>

Naum Volzinger and Alexei Androsov, two Russian mathematicians, proved that the Prophet Musa (as) could indeed have parted the sea. Unlike those scientists who concentrated on the probability of such a miracle, the Russian mathematicians investigated the conditions that might have led to the miracle. In turn, this led to the confirmation of the miracle itself.</div>

According to the study which was published in the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences, there was a reef, which was close to the surface in the Red Sea at that time. From there, the scientists set about establishing the speed of the wind and the strength of the storm needed to leave the reef high and dry at low tide. As a result, it became apparent that a wind speed of 30 metres per second would have caused the sea to retract, leaving the reef exposed. Naum Volzinger, of the Institute of Oceanography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, stated that "if the [east] wind blew all night at a speed of 30 metres per second then the reef would be dry." He also said that "it would take the Jews-there were 600,000 of them-four hours to cross the 7 kilometre reef that runs from one coast to another… then, in half an hour, the waters would come back." In addition, Volzinger said that he and his colleague Androsov studied the issue strictly from Isaac Newton's point of view. As he put it, "I am convinced that God rules the Earth through the laws of physics."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
It must not be forgotten that there is always a possibility of this natural phenomenon taking place. If Allah so desires, this miracle can take place again when the requisite conditions-such as windspeed, time and place-are met. However, the truly miraculous aspect here is the fact that these events took place just when the Prophet Musa (as) and his tribe were about to be vanquished. The fact that the waters withdrew just as the Prophet Musa (as) and the community with him were about to cross them-not to mention the way that the waters returned just as Pharaoh and his army were crossing-is a clear example of the aid that Allah gives to the faithful. Indeed, the way that the Prophet Musa (as) relied on and trusted in Allah is an example of the most pleasing moral values: </div>

It was particularly involved in commercial activities. The Sabaeans are recognised by historians as a civilised and cultured people. In the inscriptions of the rulers of Saba, words such as "restore," "dedicate" and "construct" are frequently used. The Ma'rib Dam, which is one of the most important monuments of this people, is an important indication of the technological level this people had reached. <br />
The Sabaean state had one of the strongest armies in the region and was able to adopt an expansionist policy thanks to its potent army. With its advanced culture and army, the Sabaean state was without question one of the "super powers" of the region at the time. This extraordinarily strong army of the Sabaean state is also described in the Qur'an. An expression of the commanders of the Saba army related in the Qur'an, shows the extent of the confidence this army had in itself. The commanders call out to the female ruler (Queen) of the state:<br />

<div class="ayetler" style="color: #38761d;">
<br /></div>
Because of the Ma'rib Dam which had been constructed, with the help of quite advanced technology for that particular era, the people of Saba possessed an enormous irrigation capacity. The fertile soil they acquired by virtue of this technique and their control over the trade route permitted them a splendid lifestyle, full of well-being. However, instead of giving thanks to Allah for all this, the Qur'an informs us that they actually "turned away from Him." Furthermore, they refused to heed the warnings and reminders issued to them. Because of these poor moral values, they merited punishment in the sight of Allah and their dams collapsed and the flood of Arim ruined all their lands.<br />

The capital city was very close to the River Adhanah. The point where the river reached Jabal Balaq was very suitable for the construction of a dam. Making use of this condition, the Sabaean people constructed a dam at this location at the time when their civilisation was first established, and they began irrigation. As a result, they reached a very high level of economic prosperity. The capital city, Ma'rib, was one of the most developed cities of the time. The Greek writer Pliny, who had visited the region and greatly praised it, also mentioned how green this region was. <br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="233"></a>The height of the dam in Ma'rib was 16 metres, its width was 60 metres and its length was 620 metres. According to the calculations, the total area that could be irrigated by the dam was 9,600 hectares, of which 5,300 hectares belonged to the southern plain. The remaining part belonged to the northern plain. These two plains were referred to as "Ma'rib and two plains" in the Sabaean inscriptions. The expression in the Qur'an, <span style="color: #38761d;">"</span><b style="color: #38761d;">two gardens to the right and to the left,</b>" points to the imposing gardens and vineyards in these two valleys. Thanks to this dam and its irrigation systems, the region became famous as the best irrigated and most fruitful area of Yemen. The Frenchman J. Holevy and the Austrian Glaser proved from written documents that the Ma'rib dam existed since ancient times. In documents written in the Himer dialect, it is related that this dam rendered the territory very productive and was the heartbeat of the economy.<br />
The dam that collapsed in 542 led to the flood of Arim and caused enormous damage. The vineyards, orchards and fields cultivated for hundreds of years by the people of Saba were completely destroyed. Following the collapse of the dam, the people of Saba appear to have entered a period of rapid contraction, at the end of which the Sabaean state came to an end. <br />
When we examine the Qur'an in the light of the historical data above, we observe that there is very substantial agreement here. Archaeological findings and the historical data both verify what is recorded in the Qur'an. As mentioned in the verse, these people, who did not listen to the exhortations of their Prophet and who rejected faith, were in the end punished with a dreadful flood. This flood is described in the Qur'an in the following verses:<br />

"Eat of the Sustenance [provided] by your Lord, and be grateful to Him: a territory fair and happy, and a Lord Oft-Forgiving!" But they turned away [from Allah], and We sent against them the Flood [released] from the dams, and We converted their two garden [rows] into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few [stunted] Lote-trees. That was the Requital We gave them because they ungratefully rejected Faith: And never do We give [such] requital except to such as are ungrateful rejecters. (Qur'an, 34:15-17)</span></b></div>
<div class="ayetler">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"> </span></b> </div>
In the Qur'an, the punishment sent to the Sabaean people is named as "<i>Sayl al-Arim</i>" which means the "flood of Arim." This expression used in the Qur'an also tells us the manner in which this disaster occurred. The word "<i>Arim</i>" means dam or barrier. The expression "<i>Sayl al-Arim</i>" describes a flood that came about with the collapse of this barrier. Islamic commentators have resolved the issue of time and place being guided by the terms used in the Qur'an about the flood of Arim. For example, Mawdudi writes in his commentary:<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="234"></a>As also used in the expression, Sayl al-Arim, the word "arim" is derived from the word "arimen" used in the Southern Arabic dialect, which means "dam, barrier." In the ruins unearthed in the excavations made in Yemen, this word was seen to be frequently used in this meaning. For example, in the inscriptions which was ordered by Yemen's Habesh monarch, Ebrehe (Abraha), after the restoration of the big Ma'rib wall in 542 and 543 AD, this word was used to mean dam (barrier) time and again. So, the expression of Sayl al- Arim means "a flood disaster which occurs after the destruction of a dam." "<b style="color: #38761d;">… We converted their two garden [rows] into gardens producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few [stunted] Lote-trees</b><span style="color: #38761d;">" </span><br />
<div style="color: #38761d;">
(Qur'an, 34:16). </div>
<div style="color: #38761d;">
<br /></div>
That is, after the collapse of the dam-wall, all the country was inundated by the flood. The canals that had been dug by the Sabaean people, and the wall that had been constructed by building barriers between the mountains, were destroyed and the irrigation system fell apart. As a result, the territory, which was like a garden before, turned into a jungle. There was no fruit left but the cherry-like fruit of little stumpy trees. <br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="235"></a>The Christian archaeologist Werner Keller, writer of "<i>Und Die Bible Hat Doch Recht</i>" (The Holy Book Was Right), accepted that the flood of Arim occurred according to the description of the Qur'an and wrote that the existence of such a dam and the destruction of the whole country by its collapse proves that the example given in the Qur'an about the people of the garden was indeed realised. <br />
After the disaster of the Arim flood, the region started to turn into a desert and the Sabaean people lost their most important source of income. Their lands, which had been agricultural havens of prosperity and financial strength, disappeared. The people, who had not heeded the call of Allah to believe in Him and to be grateful to Him, were in the end punished with this disaster.<br />

Rather what they have earned has rusted up their hearts. (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 14) </b></div><br />
The term ‘rusted’ used to describe hearts in verse of Surat al-Mutaffifin may be a reference to biochemical reaction that takes place in the heart. (Allah knows the truth.) Rust is the result of iron reacting with oxygen – oxidation. The oxygen we absorb from the air is carried through the body thanks to the iron in the hemoglobin in the blood. During this process, the oxygen reacts with the iron in the blood. This means there is a constant process resembling rusting in the blood in the human body, and therefore in the heart, the center of the circulation system. <br />

<a name='more'></a>An excess of iron in the blood can even lead to premature aging in all the body’s cells by causing rust-like oxidation.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_87.html#_edn1" title="">1</a> In the disease known as ‘hemochromatosis,’ caused by excess iron accumulating in the body, iron produces a toxic effect and causes organs such as the liver to collapse. Since this is the result of iron oxidation, this phenomenon is often described as organs ‘rusting’ or ‘rust accumulation’ in organs.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_87.html#_edn2" title="">2</a> In the journal <i>Science News</i> Dr. Sharon McDonnell describes the iron oxidation in cells making up organs as ‘rusting’.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_87.html#_edn3" title="">3<br />

It is only possible to identify the reaction of iron with oxygen in the body – oxidation in the blood – in laboratories with highly advanced equipment. The fact that such a comparison, so compatible with the scientific data, appears in the Qur’an is an evident miracle, given the time when the Qur’an was revealed. The fact that the Qur’an also contains countless other pieces of information all in agreement with modern science is another sign that it is the revelation of Omniscient Allah, our Lord and the Creator of all things. <br />

The Sun is made up of 70% hydrogen (H) and 28% helium (He) atoms.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_88.html#_edn1" title="">1</a> Other substances make up less than 2%. Six hundred million tons of hydrogen are converted into 596 million tons of helium in the Sun every second.

As can be seen, all the verses in Surat ash-Shams end in the letters He and Elif. The letter H stands for hydrogen and He for helium. No other Surah in the Qur’an ends in the letters HE in every verse from beginning to end. It is therefore extremely striking how only this Surah in the Qur’an ends in such a sequence of letters. Surat ash-Shams’s number, 91, is also highly significant. Apart from hydrogen, there are 91 other elements in the Periodic Table, and these are made up of hydrogen elements. To put it another way, all atoms. From hydrogen, the lightest element, to the heaviest are intra-atomic combinations of hydrogen atoms. For that reason, the H (hydrogen) atom in the Sun makes up the other 91 elements in nature.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_88.html#_edn3" title="">3</a><br />

Almighty Allah has created all the details in nature, and is still creating them. All our knowledge about such details is permitted to us in order for us to comprehend the omniscience of our Lord. In one verse, we are told:</div>

<b>Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him.

His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat al-Baqara, 255)</b></div>

When we are bones and crumbled dust, will we then be raised up as a new creation!’ Say: ‘It would not matter if you were rock or iron or indeed any created thing that you think is harder still!’ They will say, ‘Who will bring us back again?’ Say: ‘He Who brought you into being in the first place’...”</b> (Surat al-Isra’, 49-51)</div><br />
<b></b>The above verses are a reference to people’s dead bodies petrifying and turning into iron. Living tissue is not preserved over millions of years. That is why it is only possible to see things that lived a long time in the past once they have been fossilized. After they die, living things can be preserved for years by fossilization, by their bodies turning into stone under the ground. The word “fossil” refersto “the preservation of a living thing by petrification,” by its turning into stone. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Iron is preserved undamaged in the body as it fossilized. Human beings need to consume an average of 10-15 milligrams a day in order to be healthy. Any excess iron consumed is stored in the liver. In addition, the protein transferrin in blood plasma also carries a certain amount of iron.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_90.html#_edn1" title="">1</a> The reference in the above verse to the presence of iron in the remains of the human body is exceedingly wise from that point of view. <br />

<br />
Research has also shown the presence of “pyrite,” (FeS<sub>2</sub>) a compound of iron and sulfur, in fossils.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_90.html#_edn2" title="">2</a> The iron mineral pyrite forms very easily during the degradation of organic substances. It is therefore generally found in fossil shells and is capable of damaging the fossils since it can react with oxygen and water. The words “crumbled dust” in the verse may be a reference to “pyrite degradation,” which leads to the fragmentation and collapse of a fossil as pyrite reacts with water and oxygen.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_90.html#_edn3" title="">3</a> Allah knows the truth.<br />
<br />
Another fact confirmed by recent findings is that matter constantly seeks the most stable state. Therefore, given sufficient time, all matter will eventually turn into iron. Iron is the most stable state of nuclear matter, and cosmological models predict a stage in which everything will turn into iron as a result of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission reactions.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_90.html#_edn4" title="">4</a> In his book <i>In Search of Schrodinger's Cat: Quantum Physics And Reality</i>, the astrophysicist John Gribbon describes how iron is the most desirable state of matter and how all matter in the universe wants to turn into iron.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_90.html#_edn5" title="">5</a><br />

In the same way that no archaeological, paleontological, geological or astronomical research was possible at the time the Qur’an was revealed, neither was it possible to identify the elements using an electron miscroscope. For that point of view, the facts revealed in the above verse once more confirm that the Qur’an is a divine text. <br />

<br />
One of the chemical substances mainly responsible for the structure of wood is “lignocellulose.” This substance is a compound of the materials known as “lignin” and “cellulose” that give wood its hardness. In terms of chemicalstructure, wood is made up of 50% cellulose, 25% hemicelluloses and 25% lignin.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn1" title="">1</a> An analysis of these substances’ chemical formulae reveals three vital elements: hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon are the building blocks of millions of substances in nature. But as a miracle from Allah, these three also combine to give rise to the substance “lignocellulose” found in plants. Although scientists know that they contain these substances they are unable to reproduce this special material in plants. Although these elements found in large amounts in nature can easily be obtained, scientists have been unable to obtain a single piece of wood by artificial means, despite having countless examples before them. Yet all the trees we see around us have been ceaselessly producing this compound for millions of years by combining oxygen, carbon, water and sunlight. <br />
<br />
One of the compounds in lignocellulose is water, expressed by the formula H2O. The fact that wood is one of the most flammable materials despite containing a large amount of water is a most special state of affairs. The above verse is very wise in noting that wood cannot be made by human beings, by fire. Thanks to these compounds and the water it contains, wood is one of the most important fuels of fire. <br />

Trees are an important sphere of scientific research, and inspire scientists, who are still struggling to grasp all the details in their creation, in a number of areas. The complex structures of the cells that constitute trees have still not been fully unraveled, despite advances in technology and intensive research. The Forestry Commission of Great Britain, one of the world’s leading forestry research institutions, says the following under the heading "Lack of Information on the Chemistry and Structure of Wood Fibres":<br />
Despite the knowledge resulting from earlier and ongoing research, there still exists a lack of information on the chemistry and structure of wood fibres. Large variations can be found within a single tree, from the pith to the bark and from the base to the top of a tree. Often the chemistry and structure of a wood cell are extremely heterogeneous and difficult to investigate with conventional techniques.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn2" title="">2</a><br />
A paper in the scientific journal <i>Plant Physiology </i>titled "Our Understanding of How Wood Develops is not Complete" describes the limited knowledge of the subject that scientists possess: <br />
Considering the important role that wood is foreseen to play in the near future, it is surprising to see that our understanding of how wood develops is far from complete. With a few exceptions, very little is known about the cellular, molecular, and developmental processes that underlie wood formation. Xylogenesis represents an example of cell differentiation in an exceptionally complex form. This process is controlled by a wide variety of factors both exogenous (photoperiod and temperature) and endogenous (phytohormones) and by interaction between them. It is driven by the coordinated expression of numerous structural genes (some of known function) involved in cell origination, differentiation, programmed cell death, and heartwood (HW) formation and by virtually unknown regulatory genes orches trating this ordered developmental sequence. The presence of gene families and the extreme plasticity of the metabolism involved (as exemplified by the unusual behavior of plants with transformed cell walls; for review, see Fagard et al., 2000) add a further complexity to our understanding of the process of wood formation.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn3" title="">3</a> <br />
The extraordinary creation in wood is emphasized thus in another scientific journal, <i>Annals of Botany</i>:<br />
Wood formation is a highly complicated process involving an unbelievable variety of metabolic steps in the roots, stem and crown of shrubs and trees. At the centre of these processes is cambial activity which results in the release of young woody cells that undergo maturation until autolysis of the protoplast, indicating the final developmental stage. Later on, in various tree species, woody cells become further modified by an additional process called heartwood formation. The properties of wood that make it an appropriate raw material for many purposes are largely determined by the specific architecture of the cell walls. Difficulties in investigating these many developmental stages appear when routine techniques, which work well for soft plant tissues, are applied. Therefore, in most cases, these techniques need modification or the use of completely revised protocols to yield good results for woody tissues.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn4" title="">4</a> <br />
These details in the creation of wood remind us, as set out in Surat al-Waqi ‘a, that wood cannot be made by human beings. Just a few of the inimitable features of wood, which cannot be produced artificially, are as follows: <br />

The hard and resistant nature of wood is the result of the cellulose fibers it contains. Because cellulose is hard and insoluble in water. It is this property of cellulose that makes the use of wood in construction so advantageous. Cellulose, described as a “contractible and incomparable substance,” has for centuries been used a great deal more than other materials in keeping wooden buildings standing, other buildings, bridges and many other structures. <br />
Wood consists of parallel columns made up of convex cells laid end to end. These are surrounded by cellulose fibers in spiral form. In addition, these cells are contained in “lignin,” a substance made from a complex, polymer structure resin. These spirally enclosed layers make up 80% of the thickness of the cell wall and are the part bearing the main load. When a wood cell collapses internally it absorbs the shock of a blow by detatching itself from the surrounding cells. Even when such collapses causes a crack along the length of the fiber, the wood remains unharmed. That is why wood is strong enough to bear specific loads even if it is broken. <br />
<br />
In terms of absorbing the energy of low-speed blows and reducing the damage therefrom, wood is a most important material. The Second World War plane known as the “Mosquito” was made by compressing wood between strips of fiber board, making it the most damage-resistant plane of its time. The hardness and resistant nature of wood make it a very reliable material. Because wood breaks or cracks slowly enough to be visible from the outside, and that gives people enough time to take the necessary precautions .<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn5" title="">5</a><br />
<br />
A material based on the structure of wood can be up to 50 times more resistant than other synthetic materials in use today.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn6" title="">6</a> This unique structure of wood is today used in materials developed to protect against the impact of high speed and destructive fragments such as bombs and bullets. But scientists have never been able to replicate a piece of wood with all its many attributes. Every detail in the creation of wood, - the thickness of the internal layers, their level of compression, the number of vessels, their layout and the materials inside it, have been specialy created to result in that resistance. <br />

The dead part of wood, the “xylem,” contains hollow channels. These, also known as “wood vessels,” consist of inanimate cells that gradually lose their nuclei and cytoplasms piled one on top of the other. Long, thin wood vessels form when the membranes between the cells dissolve and disappear. <br />
<br />
Roots spreading out beneath the soil carry the water and minerals the plant needs upward through these tissues and transmit them as far as the leaves. The way the roots absorb the water in the ground is literally reminiscent of the test bore technique. The roots have no engines to initiate the water absorption process. Neither do they have any technical equipment with which to pump water and minerals for distances of up to several meters. But the roots absorb the water in the depths of the soil by spreading over a very wide area. <br />
<br />
This lifting process that the plant performs so flawlessly is in fact an exceedingly complex one. Yet this system has still not yet been fully understood, even in these days of high technology and space travel. The present of a “hydraulic system: in plants was determined some two centuries ago. But we still do not know how this action in defiance of the force of gravity takes place. The superior technology squeezed into such a confined space is just one of the examples demonstrating the incomparable knowledge of our Lord the creator of the system. Like everything in the universe, Almighty Allah created the transportation system in trees.<br />

<div class="baslik2kucuk">
Roots Capable of Selecting Minerals from the Soil:</div>
Plants draw all the mineral nutrients they need, such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sulfur, from the soil. Since the substances are not found seprately in the soil, they absorb them as ions (positive/negatively charged atoms). Of all the many inorganic ions in dissolved state in the soil, plants absorb only the 14 they need. <br />
<br />
The iron concentration inside plant cells is 1,000 times greater than that in the soil outside.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn8" title="">8</a> Under normal condition, an exchange of matter from a high density region to a lower density one will take place. But exactly the opposite happens in plant roots, and the ions in the soil are easily able to pass into the root cells.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn9" title="">9</a> <br />
<br />
Because of this state of affairs that operates contrary to the pressure system, the plant uses a high level of energy in the pumping process. In addition, in the plant roots’ taking up ions from the soil, there needs to be an identification system that attracts only the wanted ions and repels the unwanted ones. This shows that the ion pumps in the root cells are no ordinary pumps, but possess the ability to select between ions. Bearing in mind that the cell in the plant roots are made up of atoms devoid of any intelligence or consciousness, one can better see what an extraordinary process ion selection truly is. <br />

It is not only the wood and root parts of trees that cannot be obtained by artificial means, but also the leaves. Most important of the features that make leaves inimitable is their ability to make photosynthesis. Photosynthesis, one of the systems that scientists still do not fully understand, may be summarized as plants manufacturing their own nutrients. Thanks to the structure in plant cells that makes them able to make direct use of solar energy, they store solar energy, at the end of various complex processes, in the form of energy that can be used by human beings and animals. In addition, the photosynthetic energy stored in trees is also given off during burning. For example, the energy emitted by wood burned to heat a house is actually energy from the Sun stored during the formation of wood.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="_ednref10"></a><a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_93.html#_edn10" title="">10</a> <br />
<br />
The photosynthesis system, which operates like a miniature factory, takes place in an organelle known as the “chloroplast” inside the plant cell that gives the plant its green color. Chloroplasts are just one-thousandth of a millimeter in size, for which reason they can only be seen under the microscope. When solar energy falls on the leaf they transmit it to the layers inside it. Chlorophyls inside the choloplasts in the leaf cells convert this light energy into chemical energy. The plant obtaining this chemical energy immediately uses it in obtaining nutrients. It took scientists until the mid-20th century to obtain this information summarized in just a few lines here. Pages of chain reactions are written to describe the whole process of photosynthesis. But some links in the chain are still unknown. Yet plants have been performing these processes uninterruptedly for hundreds of millions of years, thus providing the Earth with food and oxygen. <br />

The properties of wood, about which many volumes could be written, their countless aspects that so inspire scientists, all reveal the sublime knowledge and intellect behind the creation of wood. This intelligence and knowledge manifested in wood belongs to Almighty Allah, the Creator and sole Lord of all things. <br />

Due to the force of gravity, all bodies left in the air will eventually fall to earth, either fast or slowly. Everything, living or otherwise, is subject to gravity. But as a miracle of Allah (God) birds are able to resist this force and fly upward and downward in the air. They maneuver in the air, and sometimes even fold their wings and glide through it. All details in birds, from their feathers to their lungs, from the arrangement of their feathers to the shape of their wings, are equipped with a special feature and order <br />
<a name='more'></a>intended to enable them to fly. A chick totally unaware of the act of flight and the laws of aerodynamics is born with the ability to fly. The chick launches itself downwards and begins to fly, just as if it knew its body was created for flight. This is not information that is taught subsequently or that a bird learns by trial and error. The way a bird knows it has the body structure needed to fly, finds the courage to launch itself into the air and then flies without hitting the ground all happens through Allah’s inspiration.<br />
<br />
The Arabic word “yumsikuhunna” translated as “holds” in verse 79 of Surat an-Nahl means “not letting them go, taking them, catching them, or holding them.” The word is the present tense of the verse “amsaka,” meaning “to catch with the hand, hold and pull back.” With this word, our Almighty Lord reveals that He holds the bird in the air and that it flies by His command. Bird flight is still the subject of wide-ranging research by scientists. Having observed the perfection in bird flight, scientists use the avian body and avian flight as direct models in producing such vehicle as airplanes and jets. <br />
<br />
Verse 79 of Surat an-Nahl may in one way be indicating the way that birds comply with the aerodynamic laws created by Allah as they fly. (Allah knows the truth.) The science of aerodynamics studies the behavior of solid bodies in a fluid environment such as air. For example, as a plane moves through the air, various forces emerge that affect that movement. In order for the plane to move as planned and not to run into any unexpected forces or resistance, the plane is tested beforehand against the resistance exhibited by the air. Its movement is planned as a result of lengthy calculations, measurements and experiments. <br />

Using no form of trial and error, they cope with the laws of aerodynamics in the most perfect manner. The use of the word " musakhkharatin" (suspended) in the verse to describe bird flight is exceedingly wise. Because it suggests that they have been “encouraged to a specific end, have had to do something, have submitted or bowed their heads, have bound themselves to Allah or have submitted to His laws”. In that way, the verse may be indicating the way that aerodynamic laws have a determining influence on bird flight. (Allah knows the truth.) <br />
<br />
At first sight there would appear to be nothing to make it difficult for birds to fly. But according to aerodynamics, any object flying in the air is subject to various different forces. The best-known of these are gravity, propulsion, drag and lift. In order for meaningful flight to take place, these forces have to be balanced. For example, if gravity is stronger than the other forces, the bird will fall to earth. That is why the word in the verse is the best possible expression of birds’ condition as they are subjected to these forces. The presence in the Qur’an of expressions containing such information at a time when no science of aerodynamics or mechanics existed, once again reveals that the Qur’an is a divine text<br />

(2) The bird bends its wings in order to obtain greater lift force. The air flowing over the wings is thus accelerated. (3) If it inclines its wings upward at a very steep angle, air cannot easily flow to the upper parts of the wings and the bird loses speed and stalls. Through Allah’s inspiration, birds make use of the principles of aerodynamics as they fly. <a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_94.html#_edn2" title="">2</a></div></td> </tr>

Ornithologists have today concluded that these are literally programmed in them. The way that young birds are able to undertake long and arduous journeys with no guide or previous experience is the most obvious example of this. The Arabic word “musakhkharatin" in the verse quoted above implies “being encouraged toward a specific target, being taken under command, being taken under submission,” clearly revealing that birds obey the instructions they are given when following the directions set out for them. There is no possibility of birds, which are devoid of intellect and consciousness, managing to make their own calculations as they fly along. Scientists today are agreed that these extraordinary abilities in birds are “pre-programmed” in them. This is set out in an article in the journal <i>Science</i>: <br />
There is good evidence that young birds are equipped with endogenous migratory programs, which tell them roughly <u>how many days and/or nights that they must fly, and in what direction</u>.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_94.html#_edn3" title="">3</a> <br />
In his book <i>La Puissance et la Fragilité</i>, Prof. Pierre Jean Hamburger from René Descartes University describes the extraordinary 24,000-kilometer journey made by the shearwater that lives in the Pacific Ocean: <br />
It sets out from the coast of Australia. From there it flies straight southward to the Pacific. Then it turns north and flies along the coast of Japan until reaching the Bering Sea where it can rest for a while. Following that break it sets off again, and this time heads south. Crossing the western coast of America, it arrives in California. It then crosses the Pacific to return to its starting point. <u>The route and timing of this 15,000-mile (24,000-kilometer) figure ‘8’ journey it makes every year never change.</u> The journey in question <u>lasts a whole six months, always coming to an end in the third week of September on the island it left six months before, at the nest it left six months before. </u>What comes next is even more astonishing; after their return, the birds clean their nests, mate, and lay a single egg over the last 10 days of October. The chicks hatch out two months later, grow very fast and are cared for over three months until their parents set out on that stupendous journey. Two weeks later; around the middle of April, it is time for the young birds to take wing on their own journey. <u>They follow exactly the same route as that described above, with no guide. </u>The explanation is so obvious: <u>These birds must have all the directions for such a journey within the inherited characteristics passed on within the egg. </u>Some people may claim that birds navigate by the Sun and stars or follow the winds prevailing along their route on this journey out and back. But it is clear that these factors cannot determine the journey’s geographical and chronological accuracy.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_94.html#_edn4" title="">4</a><br />
Prof. Peter Berthold is a famous ornithologist who has investigated bird migration for 20 years and president of the Max Planck Institute Ornithological Research Center in Germany. He says the following about bird migration: <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXiuHpiCAMW8lUWC0CTsAFLvzHgSlrzcQB5sNX3lbEFxmg9qr6a1-IUFJ6IHtPgEHzPO_WSkgjgA8LgywlEq1wDqPe0h2Y89Wn2Ys79IRhFHYCdenYzRSBSQ8L8r224csKmM_xUnc2bZiS/s1600/Birds_In_Flight_no_color_adjust.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>Every year an estimated 50 billion birds make migratory journeys, along a network of routes that encompasses the whole world. Sometimes travelling tens of thousands of kilometers, crossing continents and oceans, migratory birds have become so well adapted to this task that they can traverse the largest deserts and seas, the highest mountains and expanses of ice... <b>migratory birds have comprehensive, detailed, innate spatio-temporal programs for successful migration. Such programs evidently enable even young, inexperienced birds to migrate alone, with no adult guide, to the species- or population-specific winter quarters that they have never seen before. As will be explained further below, they do this by "vector" navigation: referring to a vector composed of a genetically predetermined migratory direction and to a time-plan, also genetically predetermined, for the course of migration... It follows that the departure time is programmed by genetic factors..</b>. But how do birds "know" the direction in which to migrate, so that they will reach their specific winter quarters? <b>Here, again data have been obtained that point to direct genetic control mechanisms. It has long been suspected that migration directions are innate...</b> when displaced from the normal starting point, and still more crucially, when tested in orientation cages, migratory birds showed directional preferences practically identical to the normal ones, even if they had never migrated before. <b>Now a number of experiments have provided evidence of the </b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcquX312e13tOktCTGTy9Iml8XJgJ_G51CiMe_KGPTfzvImhZfS-6vPFeBiYEFixTHv-9B9nji4sbCYUcXXozsJI-8QHOPtUNVjOeihMOJwB6vM-2mpmvSvbDDOgQ7nxsNbYf4rM8zez7/s1600/Mountain_Blue_Bird_Flight.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcquX312e13tOktCTGTy9Iml8XJgJ_G51CiMe_KGPTfzvImhZfS-6vPFeBiYEFixTHv-9B9nji4sbCYUcXXozsJI-8QHOPtUNVjOeihMOJwB6vM-2mpmvSvbDDOgQ7nxsNbYf4rM8zez7/s320/Mountain_Blue_Bird_Flight.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>genetic determination of migration direction... Even these directional changes are evidently programmed endogenously to a great extent... With an innate pattern of migratory activity, the birds possess a genetically determined migration schedule. In combination with genetically determined migratory directions, as mentioned above, it guides even inexperienced individuals, migrating for the first time, "automatically" to their previously unknown winter quarters (vector navigation, using a vector composed of a time- and a direction-plan)</b>.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_94.html#_edn5" title="">5</a> <br />
In conclusion, although scientists are unable to fully account for it, scientists still agree that migration is pre-programmed behavior that birds possess from birth. Journeys lasting thousands of kilometers, the preparations made for these flights and bird’s ability to find their way and navigate during flight all take place by our Lord’s choosing, as expressed in the above verse. The accuracy of all the information provided in the Qur’an is important evidence that this information has all been revealed by Allah. <br />

Quasars are the brightest known bodies in the universe. The brightness of the brightest quasar in the universe is more than 2 trillion times greater than that of the Sun (2x1012); it is approximately 100 times greater than the total light emitted by a galaxy such as the Milky Way.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_97.html#_edn1" title="">1</a><br />

The word "<i>noor</i>" in the verse means “light, brightness, daylight, shining, illumination.” The light referred to in the verse is suggestive, in terms of its brightness, of these celestial bodies known as quasars. Because other expressions in the verse describe the visibility of quasar light and the source of that light in the very wisest terms. (Allah knows the truth.) <br />

The word “<i>durriyyun</i>”, meaning “bright,” in the expression "<i>kaannaha kawkabun durriyyun</i>” in the verse, itself meaning “like a brilliant star,” is highly compatible with the scientific description of quasars as “bright, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNUMZlp02jyAvk8wyxpgZ1-MfywP62ctihwGHYEgOwuPCrNyzwhgommq6I1wfNbQO5-oV1lSj_2lyCsf1Fdl0QLGZjuv0Do18IijPCgcjbkot-G1xVEH76W9dR8-xyf5pjPPY5Nuf7KS0/s1600/quasar5.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheNUMZlp02jyAvk8wyxpgZ1-MfywP62ctihwGHYEgOwuPCrNyzwhgommq6I1wfNbQO5-oV1lSj_2lyCsf1Fdl0QLGZjuv0Do18IijPCgcjbkot-G1xVEH76W9dR8-xyf5pjPPY5Nuf7KS0/s320/quasar5.jpg" width="320" /></a>stellar bodies”.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_97.html#_edn2" title="">2</a> In addition, the verse speaks of “giving off light even if no fire touches it.” It is probable that this is a reference to the way quasars burn without fire - nuclear fusion. Since oxygen is not naturally present in space, there can be no question of the brightness of quasars having anything to do with fire. The burning taking place here does so as hydrogen atoms are compressed and produce helium. The energy released during this process then illuminates space.<br />
<br />
The expression “light upon light” in the verse may well be a reference to the “gravitational lens effect” in astronomy. (Allah knows the truth.) Many astronomers investigating the sources of light in the universe will easily understand this description in the verse. The effect in question refers to the way light from a source behind a body with a very dense mass, such as a black hole, departs under the effect of that dense body and reaches us. It appears that there is therefore more than one source of light of the images we see. Due to this “gravitational lens effect,” an object appears to be somewhere different to where it actually is, and in greater numbers. <br />

(Allah knows the truth.) It is significant that in describing the effect that arises, NASA scientists use the analogy of the effect of a drinking glass:<br />
<br />
<i>The gravitational effect of the galaxy on the distant quasar was similar to the lens effect of a drinking glass on a distant street light – it created multiple images lenses here too.</i>3<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_97.html#_edn3" title=""> </a><br />
<br />
In his book <i>The Whole Shebang</i>, regarded as one of the leading books of the 20th century by the <i>New York Times, </i>the science writer Timothy Ferris clarifies the subject as follows: <br />

The reference in the verse to “light on light” may be a description of reflected light forming more than one image. In addition, the term “neither of the east nor of the west” in the verse is in all likelihood a reference to the uncertainty of the light’s source. (Allah knows the truth.) </div>

Black holes, that arise as the result of the contraction of stars and gasses belonging to galaxies, are the source of quasar energy. Quasars’ brightness is spread by stars falling into the black holes at the centers of galaxies.5<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_97.html#_edn7" title=""> </a>Thinking of the “lamp” in the verse as a quasar, the “niche” may well be a reference to the “black hole” that feeds the quasar. (Allah knows the truth.) <br />
<br />
Einstein suggested that due to the effect described as the “gravitational lens,” bodies in space could bend light and that it was possible for an observer to see several images from one single source.6<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_97.html#_edn8" title=""> </a>However, this effect was only observed for the first time in the quasar known as the “Twin Quasar” in 1979. Quasars were first discovered in 1963, 14 centuries after the revelation of the Qur’an. The status of the heavenly bodies described in verse 35 of Surat an-Nur is in surprising agreement with our current scientific knowledge. This and a great many other scientific miracles are clear proof that the Qur’an is the revelation of our Omniscient Lord, the Creator of all things. </div>

<div style="color: #38761d;">
<br /></div>
The above verse contains the expression “<i>yubattikunna</i>,” which derives from the verb "<i>battaka</i>” meaning ”to cut off or break off.” The term “<i>yughayyirunna</i>” in the verse derives from the verb “ghayyara,” meaning “to change, alter, impair a thing’s original form.” At the end of both verbs appears the confirmatory letter ”nun.” With these expressions, verse 119 of Surat an-Nisa’ may, in one aspect, be pointing to the scientific activity of copying or cloning of organisms. (Allah knows the truth.) That is because cloning experiments are generally conducted with cells taken from an animal’s ear. To put it another way, a replica living thing is produced with the taking of cells from tissue samples “cut from animals’ ears,” just as described in the verse. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
A report by the German Federal Agricultural Research Center provides the following information:<br />
The tissue collection phase is short and simple. Once an animal has been located and restrained, <u>a tissue sample like an ear clipping</u> can be collected within seconds. Furthermore, somatic cells can be collected from all species. … For cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, camelids and llamas, a unified and identical procedure can be used <u>by obtaining a tissue sample from the ear</u> using notchers which are also used for setting earmarks… Clearly, for all species lymphocytes could be used, but <u>somatic cells from ear clippings will be much easier to obtain and are therefore preferable.</u> 1<br />

<br />
- According to a report by Reuters dated 1 May, 2002, a research veterinarian at the University of Sao Paolo in Brazil, Jose Visintin, produced cloned embryos for the first time in the country by using cells taken from the ear of an adult cow.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn2" title="">2</a><br />
<br />
- According to a BBC report, South Korean scientists cloned a dog called Snuppy from cells taken from a 3-year-old Afghan hound. Researchers at the Seoul National University extracted genetic material from the cells taken from the ear and placed it into an empty egg cell. An embryo was then obtained by stimulating the cell to divide.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn3" title="">3</a><br />
<br />
- Another BBC report said that a new clone had been produced using ear cells from an adult cow in research carried out by Dr. Jean-Paul Renard et al. at the Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique in France.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn4" title="">4</a> <br />
<br />
- According to information of the official Human Genome Project website, in February 2002, scientists from the Advanced Cell Technologies (ACT) biotechnology company carried out experiments on cloning a cow embryo using the skin cell of the donor cow’s ear.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn5" title="">5</a><br />
<br />
- A report by Associated Press, dated 24 January, 2000, announced that Japanese scientists had cloned the clone of a bull for the first time. In the re-cloning, skin tissue samples from the first generation cloned bull’s ear were taken when it was four months old. These cells were then fused with an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus had been removed.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="_ednref6"></a><a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn6" title="">6</a> <br />

The way that changes in the creation of living things are referred to in the Qur’an and the expression “cutting off cattle’s ears,” at a time when no branches of science such as genetics or embryology existed, shows that the Qur’an has come down from the Sight of our Lord, Allah, Who is unfettered by time. We are also told at the end of the verse that these people will be disappointed when they alter what Allah has created. The verse may therefore be indicating that cloning will give rise to various problems for human beings. (Allah knows the truth.) Indeed, statements from the Genetic Science Learning Center of the University of Utah provide the following information: <br />
When we hear of cloning successes, we learn about only the few attempts that worked. <u>What we don't see are the many, many cloning experiments that failed!</u> And even in the successful clones, problems tend to arise later, during the animal's development to adulthood.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="_ednref7"></a><a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn7" title="">7</a><br />
Information from the Human Genome Project website take this form: <br />
Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned from adult DNA, [died on] Feb. 14, 2003. Prior to her death, Dolly had been suffering from lung cancer and crippling arthritis. … <u>More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce viable offspring.</u> … In addition to low success rates, <u>cloned animals tend to have more compromised immune function and higher rates of infection, tumor growth, and other disorders</u>. Japanese studies have shown that cloned mice <u>live in poor health and die early</u>. … Appearing healthy at a young age unfortunately is not a good indicator of long term survival. Clones have been known to die mysteriously. For example, Australia's first cloned sheep appeared healthy and energetic on the day she died, and the results from her autopsy failed to determine a cause of death.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="_ednref8"></a><a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn8" title="">8</a> <br />

<br />
<u>1) A high failure rate:</u> The level of success is just 0.1%-3%. That means a failure rate of 970-999 for every 1000 experiments.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7080872215086962126" name="_ednref9"></a><a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_101.html#_edn9" title="">9</a><br />
<u><br />
2) Problems during development:</u> Cloned animals that do survive generally have abnormally larger organs compared to the originals. This may lead to respiration and circulation difficulties, unhealthy kidneys and brain, and an impaired immune system. <br />
<u><br />
</u><u>3) Abnormal gene expression patterns:</u> Although clones have the same DNA sequences as the originals, the cell nucleus in the clone does not have the same program as that in a natural embryo. To put it another way, the DNA cannot express the right set of genes essential for the development of the clone at the right time. For example, cells of all kinds, nerve, bone, blood or skin for example, all have different programs but the genetic programs in the clone embryo do not work as healthily as those in a natural embryo. <br />
<u><br />

The reason for this is that DNA sequences at both ends of a chromosome, known as telomeres, are shortened during each DNA replication. As an animal grows older, the telomeres shorten as part of that aging. Therefore, the copied life form has shortened chromosomes from the moment it is born, just as if it were actually older.<br />
Genetic material taken from living cells is used in cloning experiments, but fertilization takes place artificially. The reproduction mechanism created by Allah is thus impaired with these methods, and unidentified diseases, developmental deficiencies and early deaths are encountered. The way that it was reported 1400 years ago that scientists would engage in cloning and that the problems awaiting people therefrom are emphasized, clearly reveals that the Qur’an is a Divine scripture. <br />

The DNA of the animal intended to be copied is used for this. An electric shock is then applied, which stimulates the egg cell to start dividing. The embryo continues to divide and is placed into the womb of a member of the species, and is then left to develop and be born. </div>

The Arabic word “<i>sitran</i>” in verse 90 of Surat al-Kahf means “cover, shelter, curtain or screen.” The term "<i>lam najAAal lahum min dooniha sitran</i>" describes an environment devoid of any shelter or protection against the Sun. In the light of present-day knowledge, this is suggestive of the ozone layer that protects living things against harmful solar rays. <br />
The area where the ozone layer around the Earth is thinnest, where it protects least against solar radiation, is the poles.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_103.html#_ftn1" title="">1</a> Scientific research has established a severe thinning of the ozone layer at the North Pole at the moment the Sun rises<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_103.html#_ftn2" title="">2</a> and this scientific discovery has been described as Sunrise Ozone Destruction (SOD)<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_103.html#_ftn3" title="">3</a>. <br />

As a matter of fact, during their research, American scientists determined a rapid decrease in ozone concentration at the moment of sunrise – when there was no sign of any before.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_103.html#_ftn4" title="">4</a> This phenomenon is particularly encountered in the North Pole (Arctic) region, and there is a serious loss of ozone for a few hours immediately after sunrise.<a href="http://miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_103.html#_ftn5" title="">5</a><br />
The Arabic word “<i>matlia</i>” in this verse, meaning the “rising place” of the Sun, may well be a reference to this scientific discovery about the ozone layer. (Allah knows the truth.) The fact that this information, obtained with 20th century high technology, also appears in such a compatible form in the Qur’an, is yet more proof that the Qur’an is the revelation of our Lord, the One and Only Owner of science and technology. <br />
