How many cities We have destroyed which lived in insolent ingratitude! There are their houses, never again inhabited after them, except a little. It was We Who were their Heir. (Qur'an, 28:58) It is We Who give life and cause to die and We are the Inheritor. (Qur'an, 15:23) It is We Who will inherit the earth and all those on it. They will be returned to Us. (Qur'an, 19:40)

Forgiveness is a virtue strongly recommended in the Qur’an and practiced by believers. It is the best way to ensure peace of heart, mind and body, and to lead a healthy and happy life. Allah commands that we should forgive those who have wronged us, as He will forgive us when we seek His forgiveness. Forgiveness is essential to a healthy life, both physically and psychologically. Studies have foun...

Belief in Allah is a powerful force that can lead to physical and mental health benefits. David B. Larson, of the American National Health Research Center, and his team compared devout and non-religious Americans and found that religious people suffer 60% less heart disease, 100% lower suicide rate, and far lower levels of high blood pressure than those with little or no religious belief. The Inte...

Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) is a blessed individual to whom God revealed his final Divine scripture and whom He made a role model with his excellent moral values and faith. With his powerful faith, our beloved Prophet fulfilled the responsibility given him by God in the finest possible way. He called people to the path of God to salvation. With his excellent moral valu...

Do you not know that Allah is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs and that, besides Allah, you have no protector and no helper? (Qur'an, 2:107) The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs to Allah. He has power over all things. (Qur'an, 5:120) Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth belongs to Allah. Those who call...

The area of the cerebrum responsible for planning, motivation, and initiating good and sinful behaviour, such as lying and truth-telling, is located in the frontal part of the skull. This region, known as the prefrontal area, was pointed out in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago, and only discovered by scientists in the last 60 years. Those who fail to act responsibly can be grabbed by the 'lying,...

He has not given birth and was not born. (Qur'an, 112:3) They say, 'Allah has a son.' Glory be to Him! He is the Rich Beyond Need. Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth belongs to Him. Have you authority to say this or are you saying about Allah what you do not know? (Qur'an, 10:68) It is not fitting for Allah to have a son. Glory be to Him! When He decides on somet...

The depths of the oceans and seas are dark and mysterious, and cannot be explored without special equipment. It is a miracle of the Qur'an that 1,400 years ago it described this darkness, and the recent discovery of internal waves that cover the deep waters. This evidence shows that the Qur'an is the word of Allah. Note 65. Danny Elder, and John Pernetta, Oceans, (London: Mitchell Beazley...

Have they not travelled in the land and seen the final fate of those before them? They were far greater than them in strength. Allah cannot be withstood in any way, either in the heavens or on earth. He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful. (Qur'an, 35:44) And say: 'Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no partner in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him from abasement.'...

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...
