Moonlight is Reflected Light

 “See ye not how Allah has created the seven skies one above another, And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?” [Holy Qur’an 71:15-16]

  

“Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light.” [Holy Qur’an 25:61]

  

Explanation:

          (We already discussed about the 7 different layers of sky). Here the Sun is referred to as a lamp for it has its own illumination, while the Moon is said to have reflected light or borrowed light, meaning not its own.

Discovery:

       Recently studies confirmed that the Moon is having no light its own and only is reflecting the Sun's light; which the Glorious Qur’an had clearly said 1400 years ago……

       And this scientific fact is a best evidence for proving that Holy Qur’an is not a simple book from any of Human; instead had came from the Almighty God. To the non-believers, God is challenging to prove any of the sentences from Holy Qur’an as false:

     “Do they not then consider the Qur’an carefully? Had it been from other than God, they would surely have found therein much contradiction." [Holy Qur’an 4:82]

Pain Receptors in the Skin

“Those who reject our signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire; as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the Penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.” [Al-Qur’an 4:56]

Discovery:

Earlier it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent only on the brain.

More than 13 centuries after reveal of Holy Qur’an, Charles Scott Sherrington discovered that there are pain receptors (Nociceptors) present in the skin, without which a person would not be able to feel pain ….. only in 1906.

Prof. Tegatat Tejasen, Head of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, had spent a deal of time on research of pain receptors and had verified the above Qur’anic verse, and he was so impressed and had accepted Islam because of the scientific accuracy of the Qur’anic verses.

Mountains are Pegs/ Nails of Earth

“Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, and the mountains as nails/stakes?” [Holy-Qur’an 78:6-7]

“And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm so that it does not shake with them.” [Holy-Qur’an 21:31]

Discovery: 
                    After long 1300+ years,

In 1948, the Geologist Van Anglin stated in his book ‘Geomorphology’: there is a root for each mountain below the crust of the earth and the function of mountains on the earth is to fasten the crust of the earth.

And this fact was proven by the principle of ‘hydrostatic balance of the earth’ as illustrated by the US Geologist Dutton, in 1889.

What a Miracle The Holy Qur’an is!!

The Creation of Earth

"Do the Unbelievers not see that the skies and the earth were joined together, then I split them apart. And We made every living thing from water. Will they still not believe " [Al-Qu’ran 21:30]

Discovery:

                More than 13 centuries after arrival of Holy Qur’an..……

Big Bang theory came in 1949 (Fred Hoyle coined the term) and is saying the same thing as Qur’an had already said.

The Sky has Seven Layers

“See ye not how Allah has created the seven skies one above another, “And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?” [Al-Qur’an 71:15-16]

Discovery:

It is a great miracle that these facts, which could not possibly be discovered without the technology of the 20th century, were explicitly stated by the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.

Now technology is telling there are 7 layers for our atmosphere. They are:

1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Ozonosphere
4. Mesosphere
5. Thermosphere
6. Ionosphere
7. Exosphere

The Universe is Expanding

“And after that, He spread the earth.” [Al-Qur’an 79:30]

“With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: For it is We Who create the vastness of Space.” [Al-Qur’an 51:47]

Discovery:

        After 13 centuries……

In 1925, American astronomer Edwin Hubble, provided observational evidence that all galaxies are moving away from one another, which implies that the universe is expanding.

Darkness in Depths of Ocean

“Or (the Unbelievers’ state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! For any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!” [Al-Qur’an 24:40]

Explanation:

There is darkness in the depths of the ocean.

----------Holy Qur’an had said this before 14 centuries----------

Discovery:

Prof. Rao said that scientists have only now been able to confirm, with the help of modern equipment, that there is darkness in the depths of the ocean. Humans are unable to dive unaided underwater for more than 20 to 30 metres, and cannot survive in the deep oceanic regions at a depth of more than 200 metres.
