Asalaam alicum everyone!!!!!! hope u are all in the best of health inshallah ^& _^
Now for today, What i thought is a great idea is to post some information of proven scientific facts from the Quran. Its a great way to give dawah & most certainly was one of the big reasons i reverted to Islam Alhamduleh.....
HOW THE QURAN IS THE TRUTH
If Muhammed pbuh is the aurthor of the Quran then why would he mention his name less as compared to other prophets in Quran?The anser is it did not come from himself,the same prophets of the Jews & the Chritians is mentioned more.In the Quran Moses pbuh is mentioned 135 times,Jesus pbuh-35 times & Muhummed pbuh 4 times,Ahmed once,Ahmed is another name for Muhummed pbuh!
We believe in the same prophets as the Jews & Christians,we beleave the Torah,what was revealed 2 Moses pbuh(which Jews believe in),Injeel(which was revealed 2 Jesus(the Bible)in its Original is the truth,those are all including the Quran are revelations from God,Allah.Those revelations are for those people at that time since whenever people come away from the true path Allah sent his Messengers, the Quran confirms all those other prophets because those are revelations from Allah but they had been tampered with & the Quran is the last & final revelation from Allah Untouched.
here r a few pointers-
The Quran has been untouched 4 over 14 centuries-Sir William Muir said that,(he said 12centuries because at his time it was 12 but now its 14 centuries)
how can a man decades ago not knowing how 2 read or write make up the Quran?
How you know the Quran has not been tampered with is if u go 2 any other country,4 e.g. the Quran in Chinese is exactly the same
No man can write consistently the same always through a book as the message of the Quran is consistent with itself throughout
The Bible was not tanslated until the tenth century in Arabic of da Christian Era, so any Arab living before the year thousand could not have examined the Bible in his own language
considering da Quran is consistent with itself throughout wiv da same narration,style;it is not written like a once upon a time style
How can a man in the desert know so many truths of nature 1400yrs ago and only now scientist have found these facts out & have confirmed scientific facts throughout the Quran,the answer is this Book,da Quran is da last revelation from Allah & come from no other then Allah

DARKNESS IN THE SEAS AND INTERNAL WAVES
Or [the unbelievers' state] are like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those Allah gives no light to, they have no light. (Qur'an, 24:40)
In deep seas and oceans, the darkness is found at a depth of 200 meters and deeper. At this depth, there is almost no light, and below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at all.61
Today, we know about the general formation of the sea, the characteristics of the living things in it, its salinity, as well as the amount of water it contains, and its surface area and depth. Submarines and special equipment, developed with modern technology, have enabled scientists to obtain such information.
Human beings are not able to dive to a depth of more than 70 meters without the aid of special equipment. They cannot survive unaided in the dark depths of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters. For these reasons, scientists have only recently been able to discover detailed information about the seas. However, that the depth of the sea is dark was revealed in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. It is certainly one of the miracles of the Qur'an that such information was given at a time where no equipment to enable man to dive into the depths of the oceans was available.
In addition, the statement in Surat an-Nur 40 "…like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds…" draws our attention to another miracle of the Qur'an.
Scientists have only recently discovered that there are sub-surface waves, which "occur on density interfaces between layers of different densities." These internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because deep water has a higher density than the water above it. Internal waves act like surface waves. They can break, just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be discerned by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature or salinity changes at a given location.62
The statements in the Qur'an run parallel precisely the above explanation. Certainly, this fact, which scientists has discovered very recently, shows once again that the Qur'an is the word of Allah.
THE REGION THAT CONTROLS OUR MOVEMENTS
No indeed! If he does not stop, We will grab him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock. (Qur'an, 96:15-16)
The expression "the lying, sinful forelock" in the above verse is most interesting. Research carried out in recent years has revealed that the prefrontal area, which is responsible for the management of particular functions of the brain, lies in the frontal part of the skull. Scientists only discovered the functions of this area, which the Qur'an pointed out 1,400 years ago, in the last 60 years. If we look inside to the brain at the front of the head, we will find the frontal area of the cerebrum. A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, which includes the results of the latest research on the functions of this area, says:
The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex…63
The book also says:
In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression…64
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivation, and initiating good and sinful behaviour, and is responsible for telling lies and the truth.
It is clear that the statement "the lying, sinful forelock" corresponds completely to the above explanations. Again, this fact which scientists have only discovered in the last 60 years, was stated by Allah in the Qur'an centuries ago.
THE PULLING MOTION THAT FACILITATES BIRTH
The pains of labor drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said, “Oh if only I had died before this time and was something discarded and forgotten!”
A voice called out to her from under her, “Do not grieve! Your Lord has placed a small stream at your feet. Shake the trunk of the palm towards you and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you.” (Surah Maryam, 23-25)
Modern-day medicine shows that pulling an object facilitates the baby’s downward passage through the birth canal. The muscles used during pulling are the same as those that propel the baby outside the womb. Various methods are employed to achieve this, such as pulling on a cord suspended from the ceiling or on arms attached to the two sides of the bed or else holding onto and squeezing someone’s hand.
There is great wisdom in the way that, by means of Allah’s angels, Hazrat Maryam shook the branches of the date-palm tree toward her. The Arabic word “Wahuzzee” means “to shake fast, to move or to rock.” In addition to dates facilitating birth and having nutritious poperties, pulling the branches toward one to shake them and then letting them pull back in another movement that facilitates birth. This technique, applied in our own day, is one of the proofs that Allah supported Hazrat Maryam with His compassion and that the Qur’an is the word of our Lord, the Omniscient.
QUASARS AND THE GRAVITATIONAL LENS EFFECT
Allah is the light of the heavens and the Earth. The metaphor of His light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whoever He wills and Allah makes metaphors for mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things. (Surat an-Nur, 35)
Quasar is the name given to extremely dense and bright bodies that look like stars and emit radio waves in space. Quasars are the brightest known bodies in the universe. The brightness of the brightest quasar in the universe is more than 2 trillion times greater than that of the Sun (2x1012); it is approximately 100 times greater than the total light emitted by a galaxy such as the Milky Way.1
The word "noor" in the verse means “light, brightness, daylight, shining, illumination.” The light referred to in the verse is suggestive, in terms of its brightness, of these celestial bodies known as quasars. Because other expressions in the verse describe the visibility of quasar light and the source of that light in the very wisest terms. (Allah knows the truth.)
The word “durriyyun”, meaning “bright,” in the expression "kaannaha kawkabun durriyyun” in the verse, itself meaning “like a brilliant star,” is highly compatible with the scientific description of quasars as “bright, stellar bodies”.2 In addition, the verse speaks of “giving off light even if no fire touches it.” It is probable that this is a reference to the way quasars burn without fire - nuclear fusion. Since oxygen is not naturally present in space, there can be no question of the brightness of quasars having anything to do with fire. The burning taking place here does so as hydrogen atoms are compressed and produce helium. The energy released during this process then illuminates space.
The expression “light upon light” in the verse may well be a reference to the “gravitational lens effect” in astronomy. (Allah knows the truth.) Many astronomers investigating the sources of light in the universe will easily understand this description in the verse. The effect in question refers to the way light from a source behind a body with a very dense mass, such as a black hole, departs under the effect of that dense body and reaches us. It appears that there is therefore more than one source of light of the images we see. Due to this “gravitational lens effect,” an object appears to be somewhere different to where it actually is, and in greater numbers.
The term “a niche in which is a lamp” in the verse may be interpreted as the niche being the area of gravitational lens effect of a black hole. (Allah knows the truth.) It is significant that in describing the effect that arises, NASA scientists use the analogy of the effect of a drinking glass:
The gravitational effect of the galaxy on the distant quasar was similar to the lens effect of a drinking glass on a distant street light – it created multiple images lenses here too.3
In his book The Whole Shebang, regarded as one of the leading books of the 20th century by the New York Times, the science writer Timothy Ferris clarifies the subject as follows:
As light from a Quasar travels towards us… it may pass through either side of an intervening cluster of galaxies. The warped space surrounding the cluster can act as a lens, with a result that we see two images of what is (or was) actually one quasar
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope caught a single quasar in space producing images of five separate stars for the very first time. Bodies with a high density – a group of galaxies here – produce more than one image by giving rise to the gravitational lens effect, bending the light from objects behind them, in this case quasars.
The illustration shows a quasar appearing to be in four separate places due to the gravitational lens effect. The images, obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (Chandra), represent a distance of 11 billion light years.
The reference in the verse to “light on light” may be a description of reflected light forming more than one image. In addition, the term “neither of the east nor of the west” in the verse is in all likelihood a reference to the uncertainty of the light’s source. (Allah knows the truth.)
Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe, and are the nuclei of growing galaxies with the black holes in their center. Black holes, that arise as the result of the contraction of stars and gasses belonging to galaxies, are the source of quasar energy. Quasars’ brightness is spread by stars falling into the black holes at the centers of galaxies.5 Thinking of the “lamp” in the verse as a quasar, the “niche” may well be a reference to the “black hole” that feeds the quasar. (Allah knows the truth.)
