The Qur'an reveals an important property of seas that has only recently been discovered by oceanographers: the two seas meet, yet do not intermix due to surface tension, a physical force caused by the difference in the density of their waters. This remarkable phenomenon, despite having no knowledge of physics or oceanography, was revealed by the Qur'an centuries ago, demonstrating the insi...

Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all. (Qur'an, 112:2) Mankind! you are the poor in need of Allah whereas Allah is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Qur'an, 35:15)

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, a vital source of life. It is a complex process, and scientists still do not understand it fully. In the morning, when the Sun's rays are most concentrated, photosynthesis is most productive, creating the highest levels of oxygen essential for respiration. This is referenced in the Qur'an, which emphasi...

Whoever strives does it entirely for himself. Allah is Rich Beyond Need of any being. (Qur'an, 29:6) He Who possessed knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.' And when he (Sulayman) saw it standing firmly in his presence, he said, 'This is part of my Lord's favour to test me to see if I will give thanks or show ingratitude. Whoever...

Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it 'Be!' and it is. (Qur'an, 16:40) 'Zakariyya! We give you the good news of a boy named Yahya, a name we have given to no one else before.' He said, 'My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife is barren and I have reached advanced old age?' He said, 'It will be so! Your Lord says, "That is easy for me to...

Pressure and temperature differences in the atmosphere create wind, which can be very strong and lead to the formation of tornadoes. Fortunately, Allah's order in creation tempers the force of the winds between the poles and the equator, avoiding a dead planet constantly battered by tornadoes. The Arabic expression “tasreefi al-riyaah” describes Allah's orderly directing of the winds, show...

The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 6:59) Say: 'No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except Allah.' They are not aware of when they will be raise...

Particles play a major role in the fecundating quality of the wind; aerosols, with a diameter of one hundredth of a millimetre, are produced when air bubbles burst on the surface of oceans and seas. The wind carries these particles, along with dust from the land, to higher altitudes, where they mix with water vapour and condense into droplets that form clouds. The wind is also responsible for the...

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He has no wife? He created all things and He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 6:101)

Remember Allah's blessing to you and the covenant He made with you when you said, 'We hear and we obey.' Have fear of Allah. Allah knows what the heart contains. (Qur'an, 5:7) He knows everything in the heavens and earth. He knows what you keep secret and what you divulge. Allah knows what the heart contains. (Qur'an, 64:4) You do not engage in any matter or recite any of the Q...

Those who join forces for good will receive a reward for it. Those who join forces for evil will be answerable for it. Allah oversees all things. (Qur'an, 4:85) He (Ya'qub) said, 'How will my trusting him to your care be different from entrusting his brother before? The Best of Guardians, however, is Allah. He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.' (Qur'an, 12:64) He (his son)...

Say: 'My Lord knows what is said in heaven and earth. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.' (Qur'an, 21:4) Fight in the Way of Allah. Know that Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2:244) Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold on trust and, when you judge between people, to judge with justice. How excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah...

Lightning and hail are formed in rain clouds due to the accumulation of electrical charges caused by freezing raindrops and contact between droplets and hailstones. The hailstones become negatively charged, while the upper parts of the cloud become positively charged. When the voltage between these two areas reaches 1 billion volts, a spark, or lightning, is discharged from the cloud, sometimes fr...

You do not engage in any matter or recite any of the Qur'an or do any action without Our witnessing you while you are occupied with it. Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, either on earth or in heaven. Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 10:61) Say: 'Allah is a sufficient witness between me and you. He is certainly aware...

The Quran speaks of the miraculous power of rain to bring a dead land back to life. Rain is essential for living things, and also has a fertilizing property that brings elements and mineral salts necessary for plants to grow. Rain provides 150 million tons of fertilizer every year and is essential for the balance of life. This is just one of the many miraculous properties of the Quran.

If Allah afflicts you with harm, no one can remove it except Him. If He desires good for you, no one can avert His favour. He bestows it on whichever of His servants He wills. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 10:107) No misfortune occurs except by Allah's permission. Whoever believes in Allah–He will guide his heart. Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 64:11) Every...

We created man from a mingled drop to test him, and We made him hearing and seeing. We guided him on the Way, whether he is thankful or unthankful. (Qur'an, 76:2-3) We made everything on the earth adornment for it so that We could test them to see whose actions are the best. (Qur'an, 18:7) Do people imagine that they will be left to say, 'We believe,' and will not be tested? We tes...

This verse in the Qur'an reveals the three stages of the movement of particles, verse and movement when rain falls on dry ground. First, the soil particles quiver due to electrostatic charge and the collision with water particles. Second, the soil swells as the space between particles increases and allows water and minerals to enter. Finally, the soil brings forth luxuriant plants of every kin...

Allah is all-powerful, with control over all things in the heavens and earth. He can take away their hearing and sight, and knows all that we keep hidden. He is the Living, Self-Sustaining, All-Wise God, and His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth. Truly, Allah has power over all things. Why is it that when a calamity happens to you, when you have already inflicted twice as much, you s...

The prefrontal area in the frontal part of the skull is responsible for a variety of functions, including planning, motivation, initiating good and evil behavior, and telling lies and the truth. It is also thought to be the functional center for aggression. This is supported by a Quranic verse from 14 centuries ago, which mentions the "lying sinful forelock" as an indicator of this area&...

(They are) remaining in it timelessly, for ever, as long as the heavens and earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Your Lord is the Doer of what He wills. (Qur'an, 11:107) Do you not see those who claim to be purified? No, Allah purifies whoever He wills. They will not be wronged by so much as the smallest speck. (Qur'an, 4:49) Allah will admit those who believe and do right actions into...

How rain was formed remained a great mystery for quite some time. Only after the weather radar was invented was it possible to discover the stages by which rain is formed. According to this discovery, the formation of rain takes place in three stages. First, the "raw material" of rain rises up into the air with the wind. Later, clouds are formed, and finally raindrops appear. The Qur&#39...

Then they are returned to Allah, their Master, the Real. Jurisdiction belongs to Him alone and He is the Swiftest of Reckoners. (Qur'an, 6:62) What are they waiting for but for Allah to come to them in the shadows of the clouds, together with the angels, in which case the matter will have been settled? All matters return to Allah. (Qur'an, 2:210) Everything in the heavens and everything in...

Information provided in the Qur'an about rain is that it is sent down to Earth in "due measure." This is mentioned in Surat az-Zukhruf as follows: It is He Who sends down water in measured amounts from the sky by which We bring a dead land back to life. That is how you too will be raised [from the dead]. (Quran chapter 43:11). This measured quantity in rain has again been discovered...

At the time when the Qur'an was revealed, of course, it was quite impossible to have any information about the weight of clouds. This information, revealed in the Qur'an, but discovered only recently, is yet another proof that the Qur'an is the word of Allah.
