Secrets Of Quran Miracles

Earth Layers




It is a Miracle of the Quran and the Prophetic Tradition. We're going to see the compatibility between science and our religion….

Probing the depths of the Earth and taking pains to uncover the secrets of its internal structure and composition, scientists came to realize that the old myths about the Earth are scientifically baseless. Scientists in the twentieth century decided that the Earth consists of only three layers. Having discovered the sphericity of the Earth, they suggested that this sphere comprises three parts; the core, the crust which is very thin compared to the total volume of the Earth and a third layer in between the two called The Mantle.
Evolution of the scientific facts
However, the three-layer theory didn’t hold true for long, owing to recent discoveries in Geology. Measurements and recent tests showed that the pressure of the material of the Earth’s core is immense and reaches three million times the pressure at the surface.
Under such pressure the material transforms into the solid state, which means that the core of the Earth is solid and is enclosed by a liquid layer of extremely high temperature. This also means that the core of the Earth consists of 2 layers not just one; a solid inner core and a liquid upper core.
Measurement devices developed and scientists were able to observe a clear distinction between the different parts of the Earth’s interior. A layer of hot rocks underneath the crust was discovered, that is the Lithosphere. Underneath the Lithosphere are three layers distinct in density, pressure and temperature.
Having discovered these layers, scientists found themselves dividing the Earth into seven layers and no more. The Cut-away view below shows these layers drawn to scale according to the recent findings of scientists. The fact that the Earth comprises seven layers is established. It is taught at universities and observed through seismographs and through studying the magnetic field of the Earth.
Scientists also found out that the atom consists of seven layers which confirms the uniformity of the creation because the system that governs the creation of the whole universe is one, the earth consists of seven layers and each atom on it consists of seven layers too.


The figure demonstrates the seven layers of the Earth. We note the thin crust then the four layers of the Mantle increasing gradually in thickness. Next is the liquid outer core then the solid inner core. They all add up to seven layers.
The layers of the Earth are radically different in composition, density, temperature and material. Hence, the Earth can not be considered as one layer as was previously believed. The notion of the seven layers is relatively new and didn’t exist at the time the Quran was revealed. Scientists in the twenty-first century concluded that the Earth consists of seven layers, but what does the Quran have to say about that?
What the Quran says:
Telling of the seven layers of the Heavens and the Earth, God says in the Holy Quran:
1- "He (Allah) Who created the seven heavens one above the other" [Al Mulk: 3]
2- "Allah is He Who created seven heavens and the earth the like of them" [ Al Talaaq: 12]
The first verse is talking about two characteristics of the heavens; their number, that is seven, and the arrangement of them (one above the other) or ‘in layers’. The second verse asserts the similarity between the Earth and the heavens (And the Earth the like of them), so as the heavens consist of seven layers, the earth identically consists of seven layers.
Let’s ponder on (one above the other). It denotes the layering of the Earth, and this is what today’s scientists discovered. Now we can see that the Quran had determined the structure of the Earth, which is in layers, and had also determined the number of these layers, that is seven. In other words, the Quran had given a precise description of the earth’s interior, thus it preceded the scientists of the twenty-first century by fourteen centuries in proving this fact. Isn’t this a splendid miracle of the Quran?
What the Hadith says:
Pondering on the Hadith (sayings) of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we’ll find one that asserts the existence of the seven layers of the earth concentric and one above the other. The prophet (PBUH) said: (Whoever usurps even one span of the land, his neck will be encircled because of it with seven earths) [narrated by Al Bukhari]. Here the prophet gave another characteristic of the layers, encirclement, by saying (will be encircled with it) and this is how the layers truly look like, they are concentric and each one encircles the one underneath it.
The question here is: Isn’t this a great miracle of the prophet? Not just that the Hadith determines the number of the earth’s layers, seven, and determines the arrangement of these layers, but it also bears an indication to the sphericity of the earth.
From this article we find that the Holy Quran and the Hadith reached these facts about the earth long before modern science did. The Quran had given us the precise description of the earth’s internal structure (layers one above the other) and also had given us the exact number of these layers, seven, while it took scientists long years of theorizing and re-theorizing to come up with the same conclusions. So exalted be Allah who said in His Holy Book : (And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure- and also in yourselves, can ye then not see) [Al Thariaat: 21-22].

Where the Rivers Meet the Sea




We are going to live with a great sign of Gods’ be he Blessed and Exalted which is reflected in the world of seas and rivers as he says…..

We are going to live with a great sign of Gods’ be he Blessed and Exalted which is reflected in the world of seas and rivers as he says (And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them). Verse 53 (Al-Furqan)

It is a great sign as God told us about an existing scientific fact between the river and sea in the area called downstream (which is the mouth of the river into the sea), it’s a very sensitive and important area and scientists didn’t realize its importance except in the last few years.

A few months ago, Scientists from the United States of America had undertaken a new research to study this area, the area where the river pours in the sea, as they brought down their machines into the deepest point in the downstream. And as we know that all rivers pour in seas as each river has got a source from a certain area and it flows till it ends in the sea where it pours this fresh water and this fresh water penetrates the salty water for a few kilometers and throw its water in the salty sea .

The Quran has told us about a phenomenon that despite the influx of fresh rivers in the salty seas none of them can dominate on the other, which means that despite the hugeness of the salty sea it’s not possible for it to dominate the river or makes its water salty.

Of course these facts were unknown in the time of Quran, but it recently drew the attention of scientists after the massive pollution in the environment and in rivers as well, as the downstream area was considered to be the safety valve for this fresh water that God exploited to us.




When scientists have calculated the amount of water on earth they found that 97.5%is salty water, 2.5% is fresh water, and two thirds of the fresh water is concentrated in the frozen areas in the North and South Antarctic, so 69%of fresh water is in the form of frozen water and the remaining third is underground water and water founded in the soil, the air humidity, clouds, and etc,….. The rivers and lakes are less than .003% of fresh water , so all what we see from rivers , lakes and springs form only less than .003% of fresh water and fresh water forms only 2.5% of the total amount of water on the surface of this planet.

During the search of scientists to find sources of fresh water, it was necessary to study the pollution in rivers , the massive pollution that was made by the remnants of modern technology and the most important and sensitive area was the downstream area between river and sea , so those scientists started to study this area very carefully and concluded some results ,we have to know that God be he Blessed and Exalted has gathered all of these results in one verse as he says: (And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them). Verse 53 (Al-Furqan)

The first result is that a continuous blending occurs between fresh water and salty water in this region, which means that God be he Blessed and Exalted when he said (And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water) which means that he was the one who created the two seas (the fresh sea and the salty sea) and here we must know whyGod be he Blessed and Exalted said (And it is He Who has let free the two seas) not (let free the river and the sea).

When scientists studied this area which is the downstream area, they found a continuous merging and mixing of fresh water and salty water occurs. And they found also great differences in temperature, percentage of salinity and density of water specially in that region.

We can observe these differences through the graphic curves drawn by those researchers as they studied the temperature of the downstream region and found big differences and dissimilarities between day and night and from season to another .They found differences in the salinity of this region because of the mixing of fresh water and salty water.

And the new thing founded for the first time by scientists is that the flow of fresh water in salty water is turbulent and not stable, and that the stable flow has no troubles, as the turbulent flow of water means that there are swirling and there are differences in the speed of flow from one point to another.

So we can summarize the research of those scientists in three main points:

• A continuous mixing for fresh water and salty water occurs in the area of the downstream.
• The flow of water is turbulent.
• There are great differences in density, salinity and temperature.

And when I returned back to Arabic ******** dictionaries to search about the meaning of let free in ( And it is He Who has let free) I found that this word contains three meanings which are founded by scientists recently, one of the meanings is (blending and mixing), the second is (let free means the difference) and the third is (let free means the turbulence).

Therefore God said about those skeptical who are confused that they are ( so they are in a confused state)part of Verse 5(Qaf) which means they are turbulent and not stable, as their talking about Quran and their suspicions about Islam looks like a turbulent and unstable human(so they are in a confused state)their status is turbulent.

Here human wonders from the accuracy of the divine imaging that Gods’ be he blessed and exalted chose one word to describe the accurate physical reactions which happens in this area when he said (And it is He Who has let free the two seas) as the word let free is top of the scientific accuracy.

But the question: why God said (the two seas) not (the river and the sea) as we said before?

When scientists studied the seas, they found that rivers is not the only source of fresh water and that there are huge reservoirs of fresh water in and under the bottom of the oceans which continuously flows from the oceans’ bottom. And the volume of these huge reservoirs is as many times as what rivers flow into seas.

So, each spring at the bottom of the ocean pumps a huge amount of fresh water which is as many times of what is pumped by that river.

Here, we realize why God be he blessed and exalted said (And it is He Who has let free the two seas) because there is a fresh and hidden sea which we don’t see with our eyes but it exists. This fresh water which flows from the bottom of oceans sometimes reaches the surface of water, goes for thousands of meters till it reaches the surface of water. The picture of oceans and bays taken by satellites show the existence of these springs which usually mix with salty water.




If we look at these pictures we’ll find that the water of the fresh spring is colored in the picture with another color which indicates that this area contains cold fresh water, here we find that God be he blessed and Exalted is very accurate in his expressions when he said (And it is He Who has let free the two seas) which means that there is a fresh sea other than the rivers we see, there is a fresh sea at the bottom of the oceans and there is a salty sea.

( This is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter) I did a long stop in front of these great words and asked why did God be he blessed and Exalted say (This is palatable and sweet) and did not say( palatable) only and why he said (and that is salt and bitter) and did not say (salt)?

Here we will discover a miracle in these four words: palatable – sweet- salt – bitter.

As rivers water is not 100% palatable but it contains a small percentage of salts, minerals and some chemical compounds .Also seas water contains a superfluous amount of salinity, in each cubic meter of sea water there is around 35 kilograms of salt , there is a superfluous amount of salinity in seas so God be he exalted say ) and that is salt and bitter) .

And about palatable water he did not only say (This is palatable) only but he said (sweet) and the word sweet in the Arabic ******** means pleasant taste, so if river water is 100% palatable it would be with no taste but when it mix with these salts and minerals, they give it the pleasant taste which we feel during drinking this palatable water.




When god be he blessed and exalted said (This is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter) so Quran dealt with the water issue with a great amount of scientific accuracy, today hydrologists classify water according to the degree of water impurity or salts it contains so the distilled water is 100% palatable water and the sweet water is the water of rivers which contains a few amount of salts which we don’t feel with but it exists, so God be he blessed and exalted said (This is palatable and sweet) and the sea water contains a superfluous amount of salt when nobody knows about that, Quran described sea water to us as (and that is salt and bitter).

If we follow the meditation of this holy verse, God be he blessed and exalted says:

1. (And He has set a barrier) he created a barrier between salty sea and palatable river: it means an interval distance between those seas to be mixed and none of them is dominates on the other, this area is the very sensitive area which scientists called (downstream area). No one ever know anything about this area, even the word downstream or downstream area , it is a modern scientific term which didn’t exist in the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him and no one knew anything about thebarrier or an interval area.

Indeed it is proved that this interval area between salty see and palatable river has different characteristics, properties and advantages than that of the two seas (palatable and salty).

2. (And a complete partition between them)as there is a partition that looks like a wall which keeps away river water from sea water, as if there is a fortified area and a complete partition that don’t permit to any of the seas to dominate on the other, and that what was recently founded by scientists, and imbalance entered this area when human contaminated rivers and seas and that caused the imbalance in this area.




Today, scientists are working for rebalancing the downstream area because of it’s environmental sensitivity and importance, and that what Quran has told us as God says (And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them). Verse 53 (Al-Furqan) which means that human must pay attention to the importance of this area, and not to contaminate it because Gods be he blessed and exalted made it a very sensitive balancing area ,and it is a source for you human and other creatures in this area.

Now we are asking about the aim of mentioning this truth in the holy Quran?

Why God be he blessed and exalted told us about the barrier, sweet water, bitter water,a complete partition, mixing, blending and disturbance, why? If we manage Surat Al-Furqan which contains this verse, we notice that God be he blessed and exalted sometimes tells us about the aim of the scientific fact before telling us the fact itself, as God before telling us about seas, water, winds, etc…..he reminded us with his graces in the previous verse as he says (So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost Endeavour with it)Verse 52(Al-Furqan). What does this verse mean?

It means that every believer is required to strive for the sake of God but with a commensurate way to the era he lives in, as the holy Quran has mentioned Endeavour (jihad) in many places but the only time he mentioned the utmost Endeavour is in this verse.

God be he e xalted says (So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them) which mean the Quran (with the utmost Endeavour with it), (And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water): this is palatable and sweet, and that is salt and bitter; and He has set a barrier and a complete partition between them). Verse 53 (Al-Furqan) as if God be he blessed and exalted wants to send us a message through this cosmic truth that one day the utmost Endeavour (jihad) will be by the use of science and by the truths of Quran as when God talks to us, he says (but strive against them) which means with Quran, how can we strive the non believers by Quran? It will be by introducing the realities of Quran to them.

Since we live in the age of science, scientific technologies and scientific findings so the best way to invite non Muslims to Islam is the ******** of scientific truths which is included in Quran because when God be he blessed and exalted told us about this fact, it was for one target which is to make this fact as a weapon in Muslims’ hands to invite non Muslims to the way of God be he blessed and exalted .

The Age of Forty

A recent British study has found that the growth of the brain lasts until almost the age of forty and then it stops afterwards. Another study affirms that the mental capacities start to deteriorate after the age of forty. Amazingly, the holy Qur’an says that man reaches the age of full strength when he becomes forty and then consequently starts deteriorating after wards. Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur'an:

“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."” Ahqaf: 46: 15

Our question to all skeptics of the message of Islam is how Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, knew that the age of forty is the separating line between the completion of mental capacities and the deterioration of such capacities.

Blood Journey Through the Body


Have you ever thought about the enormous distances and constant journeys of blood in your …

Have you ever thought about the enormous distances and constant journeys of blood in your veins without stopping to feed the tissues of your body, supply them with the required oxygen, and remove the toxins and waste? Do you have any idea how this happens? Scientifically speaking, the heart whose size is no more than double the fist beats without stopping at an average rate of 100,000 beats a day i.e. 40 million beats a year to pump blood constantly in a strong network of blood vessels that’s known as the circulatory system whose length is about 97,000 km !!! The required time for the blood to travel through the circulatory system is merely twenty seconds. The question is who perfected the creation of such a miraculous system? It’s undoubtedly Allah, the exalted who says in the holy Qur'an:

“Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away: (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted with all that ye do." Naml or Ants: 27: 88

Scientists have found that tolerance and forgiveness boost the immune system, help cure diseases, help lower blood pressure, and protect the body from heart attacks and strokes. Today, physicians advise their patients who suffer from psychological disorders to practise and learn tolerance and forgiveness and help people. They have also discovered that happiness couldn’t be attained though money but rather through offering help to whoever needs it. All glory to Allah; He commanded us to be tolerant and forgiving. Allah, the exalted says in the holy Qur'an:

“O ye who believe! Truly, among your wives and your children are (some that are) enemies to yourselves: so beware of them! But if ye forgive and overlook, and cover up (their faults), verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Taghabun or Mutual Loss & Gain 64:14

Allah, therefore, commands us to be tolerant and forgiving and provides us with the suitable treatment for our psychological and social problems for Allah wants us to attain happiness. Thus, we praise Allah for the grace of Islam.

Pairs

Scientists say that man’s brain can't perform more than two tasks simultaneously. When man performs two tasks together, the left hemisphere of the brain performs one task while the right hemisphere performs the other one. Thus, man tends to choose the simpler choice which is to choose between two things. Miraculously, the holy Qur’an is in absolute harmony with the instinct of man for we always choose between two things such as the good or the bad, right or wrong, guidance or delusion, heaven or hell, generosity or stinginess, justice or oppression, good or evil, etc. Other religions and human beliefs on the other hand offer man multiple options in a manner that contradicts with their instinct. Allah, the exalted, therefore, says in the holy Qur’an:

“So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not." Rum: 30:30

Man & Mosquitoes

It’s mosquitoes, the most dangerous insect ever. This is how scientists categorize it. However, where did this danger come from? Scientists say that mosquitoes are equipped with highly efficient techniques that make them the most dangerous in the world of insects. Every day, there are new discoveries about this weak creature for scientists have discovered recently that mosquitoes could know the place of a certain person based on the exhalation of this person. Allah, the almighty provided mosquitoes with techniques that could capture the carbon exhaled by man and analyze its quantity and source. Scientists also assert that this insect is extremely sensitive to carbon and even has capacities that surpass the most intricate devices made by man. We should, therefore, realise the significance and intricacy of this creature. Aren't mosquitoes worthy of being mentioned in the holy Qur'an? Let’s read the Qur’anic verses that respond to the infidels who objected to talking about mosquitoes in the holy Qur’an:

“Allah disdains not to use the similitude of mosquitoes or higher. Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord; but those who reject Faith say: "What means Allah by this similitude?" By it He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path; but He causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path),” Baqara or Heifer: 2: 26

Dr. David King, director of genetics center, says “cloning is explained as forcing nature to do something it doesn’t want to do and that cloning leaves abnormalities in the genetic map and the best evidence is that cloned animals are most often sick and such defects and abnormalities will appear in any cloned tissues or cells. The cloning of embryos and children, therefore, will be considered unethical” i.e. cloning contradicts nature and it’s immoral. The question is whether the holy Qur’an talks about this or not? Allah, the omniscient says in the holy Qur'an:

“"I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and to deface the (fair) nature created by Allah." Whoever, forsaking Allah, takes Satan for a friend, hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.” Nisa’ or Women: 4:119

The above verse asserts that there will come time when Satan orders his followers to change the creation of god i.e. contradicting the right pure instinct. This is diabolism and an act that contradicts nature; all glory to Allah, the exalted.
