At the time when the Quran was revealed, people had no telescopes with which to study bodies millions of kilometres away in space, advanced observation technology or our modern knowledge of physics and astronomy. It was therefore impossible to establish that space had "its oscillating orbits," (Qur'an, 51:7) as described in the verse. The Qur'an however, revealed at that time, provided clear infor...

Iron is one of the elements highlighted in the Qur'an. In Surat al-Hadid, meaning "iron," we are informed: And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind… (Quran, 57:25).

It is He Who has created hearing, sight and minds for you. What little thanks you show! (Qur'an, 23:78). The above verse refers to a number of senses given to human beings by Allah.

Does man reckon he will be left uncontrolled [without purpose]? Was he not once a drop of ejected semen? (Qur'an, 75:36-37) The Quran informs us that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small part of it.

We placed firmly embedded mountains on the Earth, so it would not move under them… (Qur’an, 21:31). The verse states that mountains perform the function of preventing shocks in the Earth.

The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse: He created the heavens and the Earth from nothing. (Qur'an, 6:101).

Allah revealed the Quran 14 centuries ago as the sole guide for humanity, containing perfect literary language, wisdom, and many scientific truths.

These scientific findings, which emerged only recently, and as a result of wide-ranging research, are just some of the scien...

The Moon is a means of measurement for people to calculate the year. The positions of the Moon as it revolves in its orbit change, making it possible to see the Moon in different forms at different times. In former times, a month was calculated by the time between two full moons, but in the Gregorian calendar, a year is the time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. The Qur'an contains informat...
