The word “miracle” literally means “any happening that is beyond

imagination, and is generally associated with supernatural
happenings and Godly matters”, e.g. mysterious nature Bermuda
Triangle, and its working which is still unknown in this technological
age. Alternatively, it could also be associated with a sudden
happening that is beneficial or astonishing to masses, like a last
minute winner in the game of Football, or the unexpected
prevention of a train accident etc. Whatever the case maybe, it
always has a mesmerizing effect on the mind of a common person.
Miracles do happen, and remind one of the existence of the
definitive power that is the governing body of all events in this
world, i.e. Allah Almighty. And, He makes clear many such
occurrences to us so that we could understand things better. Same
holds true in respect of the Holy Book of Quran, which the Creator
of the universe revealed on His last Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad
(PBUH), which contains discussions about a lot of phenomenon,
which looked hard to believe in the past, but are now verified
through increased scientific facts.

Let us talk about some of these wonders that were presented 1400
years ago in Furqan e Hameed :

 Movement of the earth and other celestial

bodies
Due to many misconceptions in the old times, like considering the
Sun and the Moon as gods and worshiping them, the Almighty Lord
has reminded the ignorant ones of the realities of the universe and
things present in it, e.g. it was normally thought that mountain are
always steady, stable and never move. But with the passage of
time, the geologists discovered referred the earth quakes as a
result of unusual shifting of plates of these hills. The Sacred
Manuscript also sheds light on this topic as:

“And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will
pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who
perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which
you do.” [Quran, 27: 88]
This shows the relevance of Quranic documentation with the technical knowledge
we have today, as it is known that clouds, at the altitude of 3500 to 4000 meters,
move in a specific direction, i.e. from west to east, which is actually also the direction
of revolving of the earth around its axis. Not to forget, we also know that earth
complete on spin around its axis in 24 hours, and completes its orbit around the Sun
in 365 days. The comparison of cliffs with clouds in the Hallowed Volume of Quran
gives indication of wisdom that we could get from it. Apart from earth`s movement,
it also discusses the orbiting nature of other outer space objects, like the Sun and the
Moon.

 Creation of the Earth and Iron

‫اس بِ ْال ِق ْس ِط ۖ َوأ َ ْنزَ ْلنَا‬

ُ َّ‫وم الن‬ َ ُ‫اب َو ْال ِميزَ انَ ِليَق‬
َ َ ‫ت َوأ َ ْنزَ ْلنَا َم َع ُه ُم ْال ِكت‬
ِ ‫سلَنَا بِ ْالبَيِنَا‬
ُ ‫س ْلنَا ُر‬
َ ‫لَ َق ْد أ َ ْر‬
ٌّ ‫َّللا قَ ِو‬
‫ي‬ ِ ‫سلَهُ ِب ْالغَ ْي‬
َ َّ ‫ب ۚ ِإ َّن‬ ُ ‫ص ُرهُ َو ُر‬ َّ ‫اس َو ِليَ ْعلَ َم‬
ُ ‫َّللاُ َم ْن يَ ْن‬ ِ َّ‫شدِيد َو َمنَافِ ُع ِللن‬ َ ‫ْال َحدِي َد فِي ِه بَأْس‬
‫ع ِزيز‬ َ
We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down
with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain
[their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military
might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident
those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is
Powerful and Exalted in Might.

“And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon;
all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.” [Quran, 21: 33]
The above line from the Sanctified Scripture indicates the vastness of the universe in a
sense that we generally used to take the Sun and the Moon as stationery some years
ago, but now Science has proved that not only they former turns around once every 27
days around its equator, and takes 31 days to rotate around its poles. The latter not only
spins about its axis in 27 days, but also orbits the earth one time every 27.322 days. Not
only these universal entities move, but the whole system orbits around the centre of the
Milky Way, and there are far more galaxies and planets in the whole universe beyond
one`s mind’s eye. All this discussion leads towards on focal point, i.e. the truthfulness
and unbelievable nature of the teachings of Quran with view of a naked eye.
 Number of seven heavenly and earthly layers
In light of modern discoveries in Astronomy, the scientists have found out that there is
Dark Matter spread across the vast universe, which is invisible, yet having detectable
gravity. Due to limited research in this subject yet, it is believed that there could well
be other planets and stars dwelling beyond this mysterious matter, which shows the
truthfulness in Quranic wordings of seven heavens.

“It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of
them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah
is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in
knowledge.” [Quran, 65: 12]
This verse tells us about the hugeness of the universe and earthly layers. It has been
discovered by the geologists about seven linings of earth (oceanic crust, continental
crust, upper mantle, asthenosphere, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core) which
are holding it down together. These distinct layers have their unique properties, and
consist of different kinds of metals and the deeper levels have higher pressure,
density and temperature. This information is the proof of correctness of Quranic
revelations that were made known to us a long time ago.

 Creation of a human from clay and water

It has always been a debate about the possible life substance from which a human
being is made of. But due to increase in the knowledge of Biological and chemical
sciences, we know that the elements that are essentially present in soil also make the
life form of a individual, such as iron, calcium, and zinc etc. Allah Almighty has
indicated towards this fact in the Holy Book as:
 “And of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you
were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth]” [Quran, 30: 20]
This Quranic verse testifies about the creation of a living being from clay. It also
shows that God`s creation is divine and a masterpiece in itself, which one cannot
imitate in any case. A well balanced proportion of the constituents in the living body
of a human body result in its proper functioning. On the other hand,

 Origin of the universe

“Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth
were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every
living thing? Then will they not believe?” [Quran, 21: 30]
The above mentioned Ayah points towards importance of water in every organism`s
life. The biological studies also inform that every human cell consists of 60 to 80 %
of water, and no life form can survive without it. All this information leads towards
a common conclusion that the Sacred Manuscript told us about these scientific
findings quite some time ago.

Identity on Finger Tips

Some of the other Quranic miracles include the uniqueness of every person`s
identity, when Allah, the Exalted discusses the matter subject of reforming human`s
body in the Holy Script in Surah Al-Qiyama as:

“Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes. [We are] Able
[even] to proportion his fingertips.”[Quran, 75:3-4]
It means that every person is exclusive in its individuality from another, which is
also proved from the scientific invention of finger printing machines that detect the
true identity of one from its DNA.

These are some of the many miracles of the Holy Quran that were revealed on us at
the times when people did not even know about the true basics of science, and had
fallacies about many matters. But the present scientific knowledge, research and
discoveries have provided great evidence about the truthfulness and reliability of
information present in this Revered Book.
