I listened to that video, and I didn't hear one scientific miracle from the Qu'ran.
And, for the last time, GOD DOES NOT EQUAL RELIGION!!
If Science one days proves the existence of a Creator, then it does not necessarily validate the gods of the Bible, Torah and the
Qu'ran.
Science is very much in conflict with Religion, especially in regards to the age of the Earth and the Universe, the order they were
created in, the conception of Life and it's continuation.
And, the Qu'ran has many errors regarding Scientific truths.
For example, the smallest particle of matter is NOT an atom.
There are several particles much smaller than atoms, such as neutrons, electrons, protons etc..

I've known you can't refute my reply on the sources of Quran which quoted from the Bible in logically or academic way, you hopefully
trying the last hope which is to prove there are miracles in Quran then it's from God. Isn't right? So try to be honest with yourself
and think about this:
As everyone knows if the chief of archangel "Gabriel" will come to somebody, sure he would reveal something NEW nobody knows
before, that time we could call it revelation and who received the revelation is a prophet where the title comes from the word
"prophecies" as the revelation gave him new stories and secrets nobody knows before but when we found that more half of Quran
quoted from the Bible, same stories, same events, same informations on universe,creation,angels,judgement days, Adamï¿½..etc
what you will call this angel who will come to reveal something you had known 600 years before Quran ï¿½is he an IDIOT or the guy
who informed this story about an angel met him is not telling the truth.
Now if you found someone gave you a book said it's from God which quoted from Quran the same stories, on that time what you will
call the guy and the book???
Just simple remarks

A-Sura 83:5-7 states
[5]" Now let man but think from what he is created!"
[6] "He is created from a drop (of sperm) emitted,"
[7] " Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:"
We now know that semen is produced in the testicles not from Kidneys!!
B-Sura 23:14 states

"Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then We made out of that lump
bones and clothed the bones with flesh;"
The Quran stated that the blood clot was turned to bone and then God clothed the bones with flesh, this is incorrect info as living
tissue forms first, and then bones grow at a later, have you heard in the history a lady aborted in her first month bone skeleton for a
baby!!!

Wonders of the Holy Qurï¿½an 2

II. ï¿½Then let man look at his foodï¿½ (TMQ, Abasa - He frowned: 24)[/url]
This venerable ayah comes at the beginning of the second half of Surat Abasa [He
Frowned]. It is a Makkan Surah comprised of 42 ayahs. Its major focal point is
a great Islamic principle denoting that superiority between people can exist
only on the basis of their devoutness--not taking into consideration their
ancestry, financial abilities, social levels, rank, power, age, color, or race.
Allah wanted to enhance this value in the hearts and the minds of Muslims, thus
He illustrated it through an event involving His Messenger (peace be upon him)
in the revered city of Makkah.
The Messenger was occupied with inviting a group of Qurayshi leaders to Allahï¿½s final
religion (Islam), so he turned away from a blind companion - one of the first
to embrace Islam - who came to ask him about an Islamic issue. Therefore, Allah
(SWT) sent down a reprimand at the beginning of this honorable Surah
emphasizing the truth He revealed in another part of His book saying ï¿½Verily,
the most honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa (i.e.
he is one of the Muttaqun(the pious). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Aware."* (TMQ, Al-Hujurat-The Apartments: 13).
In order to establish this Islamic principle without which human societies cannot be
reformed, Allah (glory be to Him) sent down from the seventh sky this reproach
to His most beloved human creature and the one nearest to Him. This high
principle must govern human societies if people want to live according to
Allahï¿½s doctrine and, thus, achieve the goal for which they have been created.
That is why Allah has preserved this reproach in His honorable book which will
be read till the Day of Judgment. It is a reminder of this human value which
Muslims must take into consideration within their societies in general and in
their Daï¿½wa to the religion of Allah, in particular.
This Surah touches upon manï¿½s ungratefulness towards his Creator ( SWT). It
reminds him of his origin, his growth, and how Allah prepared him for this life
and smoothed the paths for him. It also reminds him that his earthly life will
end in a tomb after death; and his resurrection will be to account for his
deeds.
The ayahs respond to this human ungratefulness by giving a number of indications of

Allahï¿½s capability; how He has excelled in creating man and providing him, as
well as his cattle, with food. It reminds him of the hereafter and its terrors
and trials; illustrating some of its scenes and portraying the impact on
Allahï¿½s creatures. These are divided into two groups: happy, optimistic
believers and miserable, afflicted unbelievers.
This venerable Surah starts with the reference to the incident that concerns the
companion, Abdullah Amr Ibn Qays, known as Ibn Umm Maktoom. This happened in
the honorable city of Makkah before immigration to Madinah. Though Ibn Umm
Maktoom was blind yet he was quite insightful as he was one of the first to
embrace Islam. One day, he came to ask the Prophet about an Islamic issue and
found him occupied in arguing with some Qurayshi leaders and calling them to
Allahï¿½s final religion, hoping they would support it rather than have enmity
and repulsion for it. In this confusion, Ibn Umm Maktoom insisted on questioning
the Prophet while the latter wished he had waited a little bit till he might
convince these Qurayshi leaders. But Ibn Umm Maktoom went on asking him, so the
Prophet (PBUH) frowned and turned away from him. Allah (glory be to Him)
sent down this Surah in which He vigorously reproached His Messenger over this
incident.
At first the message of this Surah was impersonal; then, Allah directly addressed the
Prophet (PBUH). He says ï¿½(The Prophet) frowned and turned away.
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came
to the Prophet (PBUH) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish
chiefs). And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)? Or he
might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him? As for him who thinks
himself self-sufficient, to him you attend; what does it matter to you if he
will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to
convey the message of Allah). But as to him who came to you running, and is
afraid (of Allah and His punishment), of him you are neglectful and divert your
attention to another. Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an
admonition; so whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. (It is) in Records
held (greatly) in honor (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), exalted (in dignity), purified, in
the hands of scribes (angels); honorable and obedient.ï¿½ *(TMQ, Verses 1-16).
After the revelation of this Surah, the Prophet ( PBUH) honored bin Umm Maktoom
whenever he saw him. He even appointed him twice as his vicegerent in Madinah
as he was one of the first immigrants to the city. He then was martyred in
Al-Qadiseya (RA). More than that, it is reported that the Prophet ( PBUH)
never frowned at a poor person after this incident nor concentrated on rich
people anymore. Sufyan Athawri ( RA) reported that the poor were treated
like princes in his assembly.
The lesson we learn from this incident is that one should not restrict his call to
the path of Allah for one particular people in favor of others because only
Allah, the Almighty, knows who is worth calling. So one must address all the
people impartially, not taking into account their race, ancestry, gender or
age; nor should he consider their educational ability, technological and
material wealth or social rank. Islam does not approve of social discrimination
and Allah does not accept racial or social prejudice as a basis of legitimate
rivalry.
The fact that the Prophet announced Allahï¿½s reproach to him is one of the clearest
proofs of the authenticity of his Prophethood, the nobleness of his message and
his total servitude to his Creator. For exhibiting such a reproof can only be
done by a noble Prophet who is aware of Allahï¿½s rights upon him and of the
sacredness of the revelation that was sent to him with Allahï¿½s eloquent words
to which there is no omission, addition or any of human interference.
Also, the announcement of this divine decision to Qurayshi leaders while Muslims were
a weak minority in Makkah--where they lived inside a pagan environment filled
with blind, social inequity and was governed by savage habits. This was a
great proof that this last Prophet and Messenger ( PBUH) who was bound to
Allahï¿½s inviolable revelation--taught by the Creator of the earth and the skiesï¿½and
had His support.
The ayahs continue to confirm the divine pronouncement as a reminder from Allah ( SWT)
to whoever wants to be reminded. Especially that this instruction is kept in
the pages of the Qurï¿½an that are, *ï¿½ held (greatly) in honor (Al-Lauh
Al-Mahfuz), exalted (in dignity), purified,ï¿½* and saved by Allah who made
it out of the reach of any imposed interferences or human distortion or falsification!
*"In the hands of scribes (angels); honorable and obedientï¿½ï¿½* these
are venerable Angels who brought the sacred Qurï¿½an to the last of the Messenger
and Prophet (PBUH).
If Muslim societies could live according to these spiritual criteria which give
greater weight to virtuous, righteous and devout people rather than to
mischievous, fraudulent, greedy, scandalous ones who adore the worldly life and
forget the hereafter. The latter often crave for higher powerful ranks in order
to extort money from people, to rob their societies, thus humiliating and
tyrannizing their people. If heavenly criteria dominate the earthly human
societies, they will certainly achieve contentment. Unfortunately, priorities
been inverted and balances neglected and earthly criteria superseded spiritual
ones. Values have been confounded and perception flustered. The unscholarly
have power; the truthful is considered a liar and the liar is considered
truthful; the unfaithful is trusted and the faithful is mistrusted! So, human
societies have become miserable.
The ayahs continue with a tone of amazement at the rebellious attitude of man who
disbelieves in Allah and ignores the necessity of believing in Him. He turns
away from His guidance and displays a haughty arrogance opposing Allahï¿½s
message and considers himself above submissiveness to His sovereignty through
obedience and worship. The ayahs remind him of his origin, his upbringing, his
weakness at the beginning of his existence, his need for Allahï¿½s care at
different stages of his life and in every moment of his life. Allah has given
him many gifts and abilities and made it easier for him to live his life and to
find guidance. Unfortunately, man is unmindful of all that! So he does not
fulfill his duty towards Allah ( SWT), nor does he perform his role on
earth as it was designed by his Creator. How ungrateful he is!
To describe this oppositional attitude on the part of man towards the blessings
and favors of Allah, He says * ï¿½Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah?ï¿½*
(TMQ, 80: 17). The term ï¿½ woe toï¿½ï¿½ is a curse and damnation on the
disbeliever. He deserves Allahï¿½s wrath in the worldly life and will certainly
find suffering and humiliation in the Hereafter! For even if he lives long, the
end of his life is death and then the grave which may either be a garden of Paradise or a pit of Hell. And his resurrection will be just
the same as his
first creation. The Prophet ( PBUH) describes this resurrection by saying,
ï¿½Between the two blows (of the trumpet) there are fortyï¿½ then Allah sends water
down and people grow up as plants. All of the bodies become dust except one
bone--the coccyx--from which creatures are resurrected on the Day of Judgmentï¿½.
So it is taken for granted that manï¿½s destiny is held in Allahï¿½s hand from the moment he
was a tiny sperm-drop until he is born, and while going through life stages to
his death. It is Allah who created him in his fatherï¿½s sperm when He wanted and
brought him to life when and where He desired. It is also He who ends his life
when and where He wants and causes him to stay in his grave as long as He
wants. Then, when the afterlife starts, He will resurrect him from dust for the
Day of Accounting. On that day, people will be divided into two teams: one team
will go to hell and the other one to heaven; and each of them will stay there
forever, just as the truthful Prophet ( PBUH) told us.
Taking this into consideration, the wise man must be ready for that day and try hard
to save him from its dreads. The goal behind life is not distraction and
amusement; it should not be spent in vain. Man has a double message to carry on
in this life: worship Allah ( SWT) as He ordered him to and perform well
the duties of vicegerent on earth by peopling it and establishing Allahï¿½s
justice on it.
Unfortunately, the great majority of people forgets this reality and wastes their lives not
thinking of the truth until the moment of death comes and they find themselves
faced with judgment. What a difficult moment!
That is why Allah ( SWT) says *ï¿½Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah?ï¿½*
Allah made this ayah in an interrogative reproachful, scolding form. That
is: ï¿½What made man a disbeliever?ï¿½ or in other words, ï¿½How intense is his
disbelief in spite of Allahï¿½s kindness to him!ï¿½ In both cases there is an
exclamation about his intractable disbelief and an affirmation that he deserves
the most severe punishment.
Then comes ayah 23 where Allah says, *ï¿½Nay, but (man) has not done what He
commanded him.ï¿½* This ayah is a confirmation that man did not fulfill what
Allah ordered him and, thus, deserves suffering about which he was warned by
previous Prophets and Messengers.
After that, the text illustrates one of Allahï¿½s greatest signs in creation which is
providing ample and necessary food, appropriate to all living creatures on
earth; among them man and his cattle. So the ayahs direct the ungrateful manï¿½s
attention to this truth saying, ï¿½Then let man look at his food. We pour
forth water in abundance, and We split the earth in clefts, and we cause
therein the grain to grow, and grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for
the cattle), and olives and date-palms , and gardens dense with many trees,
and fruits and herbage,(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your
cattle.ï¿½ (TMQ, Abasa: 24-32).
The meaning of the term ï¿½lookï¿½ here is not limited only to sight but goes beyond
it. It is a kind of proverb. For food is one of the major necessities of life
and no one can pretend that he has anything to do with the water cycle which is
created and monitored by Allah, thanks to His knowledge, wisdom and capability.
Concerning this, the Prophet reported from Allah in the following divine Hadith
(Hadith Qudsi), ï¿½Some of My bondsmen
(servants) start the day as My believers and some as unbelievers. He who said:
We have had a rainfall due to the Blessing and Mercy of Allah, is My believer
and a disbeliever of stars, and whoever said: We have had a rainfall due to the
rising of such and such (star) disbelieved in Me and affirmed his faith in the
stars.ï¿½ (Al-Bukhari). He also said, ï¿½No one knows when it will rain but
Allahï¿½ (Al- Bukhari).
Also, no wise man can pretend that he is able to make seeds grow or
to split the earth in order to bring up the plants! Nor can he claim that he is
able to create a single species from all of earthï¿½s plants that exceed 300,000
different species! And every variety is subdivided into billions; each one has
its own external, internal, anatomical and functional characteristics that
distinguish it from the others!
In this Surah, Allah the Almighty referred to corn (grains),

grapes, olives, and dates, gardens dense with lofty trees, fruits and herbage,
grazing fodder for animals. And these particular varieties cover almost all of
what man and his cattle need in order to survive!
Then, the Surah in its last ayahs goes back to discussing the end
of manï¿½s life. For after enjoying all this lifeï¿½s pleasures and ornaments, there
comes death and the grave; then, resurrection and the great presentation in
front of Allah (SWT) for judgment. And finally,
he will live out eternity in the hereafter either in Heaven or in Hell. Allah,
the Almighty says *ï¿½Then when there comes As-Sakhkhah(the
second blowing of the Trumpet on the Day of Resurrection), that Day shall a man
flee from his brother, and from his mother and his father, and from his wife
and his children. Everyman that Day will have enough to make him careless of
others. Some faces that Day will be bright (true believers of Islamic
Monotheism), laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). And other faces,
that Day, will be dust-stained, darkness will cover them; such will be the
Kafarah (disbeliever in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammed
(PBUH)) the Fajarah (wicked evil doers)."* (TMQ, Abasa: 33-42)
The
ï¿½Deafening Noiseï¿½ is one of the names of the Last Day. It refers to the second
blow of the trumpet and it is called this because it deafens the ears since it
is loud and shrill. That day will be so full of terror that man will be fleeing
from the closest people to him. And after judgment people will be divided into
believers with beaming, rejoicing faces because Allah the Almighty has honored
them in Paradise; and into disbelieving wrong-doers who denied Allah and His
last message. They transgressed His limits and violated His commands. Their
faces will show regret, remorse, grief and desperation. They will feel
humiliated and shamed knowing that their destiny is Hell! On each face will be
the indications of oneï¿½s destiny.
At the beginning of the Surah Allah the Almighty gave us the criterion for judging
Truth and told us that whoever preserved it would succeed in this life and in
the hereafter; and he who wasted it, would be miserable now and in the next
life. Then, in the end of the Surah, Allah portrayed images of reward and
punishment in the afterlife. There is an astonishing duality between the
beginning and the end of this Surah. This is but a proof of Allahï¿½s unlimited
creative capability that bought forth in a unique achievement this everlasting
book which he had preserved in the same language (Arabic) in which it had been
sent to His last Messenger and Prophet fourteen centuries ago! It will endure
until Allah ( SWT) inherits back the earth and all of its inhabitants.
References to ï¿½natureï¿½ in Surat Abasa:
1)
The reference to the creation of man from a sperm-drop
that contains all his characteristics and destiny.
2)
Directing peopleï¿½s attention to aspects of the scientific
miracle in providing all the needed factors for the creation of food for man
and his cattle, and for every living creature on earth.
3)
Reference to the water cycle around the earth that results
in rain.
4)
Reference to the fact that rain helps split the earth and
irrigates it as a preparation for planting; or the earth splitting through the
initial sprouting of plants. And both references are correct.
5)
Creating different plant varieties and giving the basic
models that represent fully all the plantï¿½ groups which comprise the main food
for man and his cattle (such as grains, grapes, nutritious plants, olives,
dates, gardens dense with lofty trees, fruits and fodder).
6)
Stating that the extraction of plants from the dead earth
is a simile for the resurrection of bodies that became dust.
7)
Reference to the reality of life, death and then

resurrection and judgment.
Each of these issues needs a special analysis. Because of this I will limit myself to
the second issue only which was mentioned in the ayahs 24 to 32. But before
that I would like to quote Ibn-Kathirï¿½s notes about these ayahs.
Interpretations of this ayah by some scholars:
Mentioning Ibn-Kathir as an example here is the summary of his explanation of the ayahs
24-32 written above: ( Then let man look at his food,) here Allah is
raising the feeling of indebtedness within man, He is also giving evidence for
the resurrection of the body after it became old bones and dust through the
creation of plants in a lifeless earth. *( We pour forth water in abundance,)*
means, we sent it down from sky to earth. *(And We split the earth in clefts,)*
means, thanks to water which penetrated the earth, plants grew up and emerged
from its surface. *(And We cause therein the grain to grow, and grapes and clover
plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle),* corn means all the cereals,
grapes are known to all, and nutritious plants refers to the fresh alfalfa
given to animals. (And olives) they are a condiment and their extracted
oil is also a condiment used as a grease. (And dates,) it is eaten
unripe (balah), freshly ripened ( rutab) and very ripe ( tamr);
it is used either cooked or uncooked, and we can make thickened syrup or
vinegar from it. *(And gardens dense with many trees,)*means, gardens
full of tall palm-trees ï¿½ or dense trees gathered in one place under which one
can seek the shade. *(And fruits and herbage,)* the first are all the
soft and sweet fruits and the latter are all the plants eaten by animals but
not eaten by man (herbage and grazing). *((To be) a provision and benefit
for you and your cattle.)* This means, as a living for you and your cattle
in this worldly life, and until the last day.
Other commentators said almost the same thing, and I see no need for repeating all
this here, though they are all prominent scholars.
Scientific implications in
this ayah:
1. ï¿½Let man look at his foodï¿½ (TMQ, Abasa:24)
Man has primarily relied on plants for his food. That is why the ayahs that follow talk
about pouring water from the sky and splitting the earth, then about many plant
varieties and their fruits that cover all manï¿½s and his cattleï¿½s needs for
vegetable food. The latter refers to animal food, for animals that man eats are
nourished with plants and their fruits. Also, such food is a source of energy
that enables him to do physical activities. It preserves, as well, his body
temperature and builds up cells and tissues that are necessary in different
growing stages, or replaces the lost ones.
Manï¿½s body has a vital need for air, water and food. If he is prevented from air for
some minutes only, heï¿½ll die of asphyxia; and if he lacks water, he will
survive for only a few days. He can live without food for weeks but will lose a
lot of weight and will experience serious health problems if he does not
compensate for it.
Man needs the following basic elements in his food:
a.
Carbohydrates
They are important

organic compounds whose components are made through the union of carbon atoms
with both hydrogen and oxygen (with the same proportion found in water). The
existence of carbohydrates in both plants and animals is found in different
forms, the simplest being the monosaccharide like glucose and fructose. This
monosaccharide combine with each other through special links to form
disaccharides, such as sucrose found in sugar cane and beet, lactose (milk
sugar), and maltose (barley sugar). These also combine into trisaccharides like
raffinose, starch, and cellulose. Starch is found in many plants. It is
enclosed in their seeds, nodules and fruits. The cell walls of plants, on the
other hand, are mainly made of cellulose; and it is found in straw, wood,
cotton and in other groups of vegetables.
b.
Proteins
They are organic compounds. They are formed by the union of carbon atoms with hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen atoms. Some of their components may contain sulfur and phosphorus
atoms. These elements exist in long amino acid chains. Proteins are made of as
many as twenty amino acids that are linked through a special linkage called peptide
bond. The protein component enfolds on itself into a spiral. Proteins can
be found in very simple varieties made of only amino acids, and in very complex
varieties combined with other chemical compounds. They exist in living
creaturesï¿½ tissues and protoplasm, and play very important roles in many of
their biological activities such as the support and movement of bones and
muscles, transport and communication in blood and between the nerves, writing
the genetic code and stimulating different interactions like secretion of
enzymes and some hormones.
c.
Oils and Fat
They are basically formed by the union of carbon atoms with hydrogen and oxygen atoms in higher
proportions than that found in water and carbohydrates. Some fats also contain
sulfur and nitrogen. Oils and fats have an identical chemical composition; if
this composition remains liquid at twenty degrees centigrade, it is called oil;
but if it solidifies, it is called a fat. Fats are known as glycerides because
they are composed of fatty acids and glycerin linked together. Glycerin, oil,
and fat are called lipids. Some plants such as olives, sesame, black-eyed peas,
soy beans, linseeds, cotton seeds, sunflower seeds, palm seed oil, walnut; and
some crops such as wheat, corn, and rice are all considered as important
sources of vegetable oil.
All these compounds--carbohydrates, proteins, and fats--are characterized by symmetry,

precision and complexity in their form. This definitely means that they could
not have created themselves nor could they have been created by accident. They
are rather a proof of Allahï¿½s absolute ability, creative genius, complex
creation and precise control. That is why manï¿½s attention was drawn to the creation
of his food.
2. *ï¿½We pour forth water in abundance,ï¿½* (TMQ, Abasa:25)
ï¿½We pourï¿½ means water is poured in abundance from the sky, as what happens when
it rains. And if there was no water cycle around the earth, all the water which
is the main source of life where billions of living creatures live and die
every moment, would have been completely polluted. The amount of water on earth
is 1.4 billion cubic kilometers; 380,000 cubic kilometers evaporates every year and
then comes back to earth through rain which is spread on earth according to
Allahï¿½s knowledge, wisdom and ability! No one can govern the water cycle but
Allah (SWT), and nobody can cause one drop of water to pour down from
the sky whenever and wherever he wants but Allah. That is why there is this
reference in the ayah that pouring water from the sky is a clear evidence of
Allahï¿½s capability.
3. *ï¿½And We split the earth into clefts,ï¿½* (TMQ, Abasa:26)
Fissures are long cavities formed on any surface. ï¿½We splitï¿½ here means the vertical
effusion of rain water when it is poured on earth; and it has been proved that
rain water spilled on earth can cause fissures in which the depth varies
between a few meters to two hundred meters. This permits water to pierce
through permeable rock layers so that water is stored under the surface and its
freshness and content is renewed due to the presence of oxygen. These fissures connect
with similar varied rock fissures, stratification levels in sedimentary rocks,
and dissolved caves in calciferous and saliferous rocks that can reach dozens
of kilometers resulting in holes, routes, galleries, and agoras. This
connection promotes weathering of rocks and storage of underground water, and
enhances its role in making the fissures wider. This is done through different
aspects; by mechanical erosion (the effect of frost), erosion caused by living
creatures, and chemical erosion (through dissolution, carbonization,
conversion, liquidizing and oxidation) which weaken the rocksï¿½ cohesion and
helps them to split and fragmentize to make topsoil. It also helps plants get
all they need from water and nutritious components.
This seems to me--Allah only knows--the closest meaning for ï¿½We split the earthï¿½
since it comes immediately after reference to pouring water. However, there is
another possibility. The ayah may be referring to the fact that the splitting
of the earth is a result of the mixture between the soil and rain water.
Agricultural soil is composed mainly of calcic minerals which are basically
made of hydrated aluminum silicates that are piled up on one another forming
thin layers. This chemical compound has a great affinity for water, so when it
becomes wet, it inflates and becomes fluffy, which allows it to float to the
top. As a result, the soil becomes very supple; it splits to let the stalk
emerge from inside the seed buried in the soil and takes it to the surface.
This occurs due to the water being displaced in an amount equal to the amount
of air found between calcic layers and due to the colloidal movement of the
collagenous substance through the soilï¿½s calcic minerals. This also occurs as
a result of the repulsion of the similar electric charges on the surface of
those layers on one hand, and of both poles of the bipolar water component on
the other hand.
Also, there is a microcosm of life in the soil, where billions of dormant living
creatures are found. When water reaches them, they arouse and become active.
These are seeds, tiny eggs and larva as well as bacteria and fungi. The earthï¿½s
store of these living creatures varies from microscopic organisms to
vertebrates. So, it seems clear that the force that leads to the growing of
seeds is something not to be taken lightly!

*"And we cause therein the grain to grow, and grapes
and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), and olives and
date-palms, and gardens dense with many trees, and fruits and herbage, (To be) a
provision and benefit for you and your cattle.ï¿½* (TMQ, Abasa: 27-32).
These ayahs refer to all plant varieties that man and his cattle need for their
nourishment. The term ï¿½cornï¿½ covers the family of cereals like wheat, barley,
corn and rice. This is the most important family of plants as far as the
economy is concerned for both man and his cattle because it also includes
animal feed and pasturage; and its fields cover most of the agricultural land
on earth. Grapes belong to a family that contains eleven genera and more than
six hundred plant varieties.
ï¿½Clover plantsï¿½ refer to the wild forage for cattle and animals such as grasses and
berseem, but it is not always available. Olives represent the entire olive
family that contains twenty-two genera and more than five-hundred plant
varieties. Date palms represent the palm family; it contains two-hundred genera
and more than four thousand varieties of trees, bushes and climbers across
tropical and temperate regions.
Gardens are described as enclosed and full of high, abundant trees. Fruits are all
soft, delicious and sweet produce. It is said that ï¿½fruitsï¿½ here refers to all
the produce except for grapes and pomegranates. Fodder is all the herbage and
pasturage eaten by cattle and animals such as grass and different fresh and
dried plant parts (straw and hay). This term is far more general than the term
ï¿½nutritious plantsï¿½; that is why this section of ayahs ends with the
explanation, *"(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your
cattle.ï¿½* (TMQ, Abasa: 32).
These scientific truths were not known until the twentieth century. Their existence
in the Qurï¿½an which was revealed to the Prophet ( PBUH) fourteen
centuries ago is evidence that it is Allahï¿½s words and also a proof of the
Prophethood of the last Messenger, May peace and blessings be upon him, his
family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance until the last
day.
Praise be to Allah, Master of

the universe.

ï¿½It is He Who sends down water (rain)

from the sky, and with it we bring forth vegetation of all kinds, and out of it
We bring forth green stalks, from which We bring forth thick clustered grain.ï¿½ (TMQ,
Al-Anï¿½am - The Cattle: 99)
Surat Al-Anï¿½am was revealed in Makkah and is one of

the longest chapters in the Qurï¿½an with 165 verses. This surah gets its name
from the many references it makes to cattle. One of the main attributes of this
surah is that it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH) at one time.
It deals mainly with Islamic doctrines and legislation and mentions the stories
of some of the prophets and messengers who came before Muhammad ( PBUH)
and of some previous nations. A number of verses that refer to signs of
creation and the divine creative ability of Allah prove that the stories
mentioned in this surah are real and bear witness to His Oneness, exclusive of
partners, peers, rivals, companions or offspring.
Surat Al-Anï¿½am begins with the verse that can be

translated as, *ï¿½All praises and thanks be to Allah, Who (Alone) created the
heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and the light; yet those who
disbelieve hold others as equal with their Lord.ï¿½* This verse means that
the disbelievers liken The Creator, Protector, Lord and Sovereign of the
heavens, the earth and all that is in them to the creatures they worship or the
idols they have created themselves. The surah rejects this disgraceful attitude
of the disbelievers and polytheists. It emphasizes the fact that it is Allah ( SWT)
who created man from earth and determined the moment of death and resurrection
for all creatures. Many people, however, deny the resurrection and doubt its
inevitability.
Signs of creation in Surat Al-Anï¿½am
Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth

and made the darkness and light, with reference to the fact that darkness
was first in the universe.
He created man from clay.

Reference to creatures who walk in the day and the
night.
Reference to the possibility of classifying
animals.
Anticipation of contemporary technological and
scientific advancement and that it will be a test for the disbelievers.
The comparison between sleep and death and
wakening from sleep and the resurrection after death.
Reference to the central position of Makkah in
relation to the heavens and the earth.
Reference to the fact that it is Allah (SWT)

who causes seeds and fruit stones to split and sprout and that He brings
forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living.
Affirmation that it is Allah (SWT) who
brings about the new day and that it is He who has appointed the night for
resting and the sun and the moon for calculating the time. This is a
reference to the precision of their rotation and the possibility of using
their rotation to mark time and make calendars.
who has made the stars to guide us through the darkness of the land and
sea.
Confirmation that Allah (SWT) created
mankind from a single person (Adam) and gave him a place of residence and
of burial on the Earth.

who sends down rain from the sky and brings forth vegetation of all kinds,
producing stalks and grain.
Reference to the creation of palm-trees and its
spadix, which is the first thing to appear, out of which hang clusters of
dates and the creation of gardens full of grapes, olives and pomegranates,
each are similar but different in variety and taste. Some of these gardens
have espaliers and others do not.
Confirmation of the reality of creation and that
it is Allah (SWT) who created everything.
Reference to the fact that pressure and oxygen
decrease with height, making it difficult to breath.
Confirmation that there are things unseen to us of
which only Allah (SWT) Has knowledge.
Each of these items needs to be addressed

individually, thus I shall focus my discussion on the twelfth point above which
talks about chlorophyll (the substance that makes plants green) and
photosynthesis which is essential for plants to produce seeds. Before
addressing this point, I will first mention some interpretations of this verse
by classical and contemporary scholars.
Interpretations of the verse by scholars
Botanists have commented on this verse saying that

it sheds light on the way plants are created and develop at different stages
until they reach complete maturity and contain all the fats, proteins and
carbohydrates they require. This is all synthesized in sunlight through the
presence of a green substance called chlorophyll, found in all green plants and
particularly in their leaves. This is where these compounds are synthesized and
then distributed to seeds and fruits. Moreover, the verse affirms that
rainwater is the only source of fresh water on earth and solar energy is the
source of energy for all living creatures. Plants, however, can only store
solar energy through chlorophyll and then pass it on to humans and animals
through the organic nutrients they synthesize. Science has revealed an amazing
fact that proves the Oneness of the Creator; hemoglobin, which is necessary for
respiration in both humans and animals, is similar to chlorophyll. The active
sites of both hemoglobin and chlorophyll are a porphin molecule. In hemoglobin,
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms of this porphin molecule enclose an
iron atom while in chlorophyll it encloses a magnesium atom. Medical research
has also proved that once chlorophyll has been metabolized by the human body it
is assimilated into its tissues, strengthens them and helps them destroy
bacteria, providing protection against diseases. At the end of this verse,
Allah (SWT) says what can be translated as, * ï¿½Look at their fruits
when they begin to bear, and the ripeness thereof.ï¿½* This reference
preceded modern botany in relying on the examination of the external form of
plant organs in their different stages.
In Safwat al-Tafassir, Allah says what can be

translated as, *ï¿½It is He Who sends down water (rain) from the sky, and with
it We bring forth vegetation of all kindsï¿½*. Allah (SWT) sends down
rain from clouds bringing forth all vegetation, such as fruits, legumes, grass
and trees; *ï¿½and out of it We bring forth green stalks,ï¿½* meaning that
we bring forth a tender green part; *ï¿½ from which We bring forth thick
clustered grain,ï¿½* meaning that we bring forth grains clustered one on top
of each other like spikes of barley and wheat. Ibn Abbas said: ï¿½It means wheat,
barley, corn and riceï¿½.
The scientific implications of the verse
*ï¿½It is He Who sends down water (rain) from

the sky,ï¿½*
The process of precipitation involves the wind

blowing and passing by water sources filled with water vapor. Clouds are formed
due to the elevation of this wind that reaches the upper parts of the sky where
weather variations occur. These clouds are enriched through the water cycle
around the earth with water vapor resulting from volcano eruptions, vaporization
of water by sunrays, plant transpiration, human and animal excretion and
breathing. The ascension of water vapor helps it to condense because of the
drop in pressure and temperature. Rain clouds are then formed, by the will of
Allah, as the size of the water drops becomes greater and the vapor becomes
more condensed and falls as rain, hail, or snow.
By the will of Allah, wind plays a very important role

in this process. The levels of moisture, temperature and wind speed and the
size of the condensation nucleus (dust and salts particles, tiny snow crystals,
etc.) determine the degree of its importance, until it reaches saturation at a
certain temperature degree and atmospheric pressure. Air, at that point, cannot
hold any more vapors so it falls as rain in the amount and at the location
determined by Allah (SWT) in His Knowledge and Wisdom. Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) said: ï¿½No one knows when it will rain but Allah. ï¿½ (Fateh A-
Bari)
*ï¿½ and with it We bring forth vegetation of
all kinds,ï¿½*
Allah (SWT) has willed that once ripe, seeds

are transported away from the mother plant in order to disperse horizontally
for the better distribution of plants and to prevent competition for their
vital sources of soil, water and sun light. This dispersion is achieved either
by the fruits bursting or by the seeds being transported by the air, water or
animals who eat fruit, move to a different place and then release the seeds in
their excrement or store them in zones where they can germinate properly. Seeds
can also move hanging on to an animalï¿½s fur. Allah ( SWT) has provided
seeds with wings, borders or the ability to float, enabling them to scatter
widely across the surface of the ground. When Allah ( SWT) sends down
rain, water reaches these buried seeds and they start to germinate. They absorb
water and swell, causing the seedï¿½s coat to rip apart allowing a radicle and a
plumule to grow out. The radicle goes down through the soil to fasten itself
and the plumule moves up to the surface. The first leaves to appear on the
stalk are called cotyledons; they are more transparent than the real ones. This
small plant is called a seedling and is nourished by the nutrients stored in
the seeds until the real leaves grow. These plants have been given the ability
to produce food for the growing plants through photosynthesis until they flower
and become ready to produce fruits and seeds. We now know of more than a quarter
of a million flowering plants (angiosperms) as well as of a large number of
non-flowering ones.
*ï¿½and out of it We bring forth green stalksï¿½*
As soon as the leaves appear on the growing plants

(seedling), Allah provides them with a green pigment called chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll has the ability to absorb a certain amount of solar energy and
convert it into chemical energy. It uses this chemical energy to make
carbohydrates out of the water absorbed by the roots and carbon dioxide, which
plants absorb from air, producing oxygen in return. As for aquatic plants, especially
those completely submerged under water, they get carbon dioxide from the portion
dissolved in water. This later reaches very tiny organelles called chloroplasts
which are either dissolved or are part of
bicarbonate salts. This last process is also called

carbon fixation because of the importance of carbon in forming carbohydrates.
There are eight types of chlorophyll and it is very

similar to hemoglobin insofar as its chemical structure is concerned; it has a
magnesium atom whereas an iron atom is found in hemoglobin.
Chloroplasts are found in long vertical cells

adjacent to the leaf wall. Allah ( SWT) gave them the ability to move
freely inside the cell in order to absorb as much light as possible. Plants
absorb carbon dioxide from air through their leaves and water with the sap from
the soil through its roots by capillarity rise to reach the top of the plant.
Chlorophyll collects energy from sunrays and uses it to dissociate water,
releasing oxygen which is released into the air through the stomata in the
leaves and hydrogen which combined with carbon dioxide to make sugars, starches
and other carbohydrates. This process, in which the chlorophyll plays a major
role, takes place over many stages. Enzymes participate in this process to
complete it. Most of the carbohydrates formed by photosynthesis are used as
nutrients by the plants in order to provide the energy they need to grow. The
excess carbohydrates are stored inside cells and are used later to make fruit,
grain and seeds. Plants get the energy they need from their food in a reverse
process to photosynthesis, called respiration. In this process, carbohydrates
and oxygen combine to release energy out and carbon dioxide fuses with water as
follows:
ï¿½
Photosynthesis.
ï¿½
Carbon dioxide + water + energy.
ï¿½
Carbohydrate + oxygen.
ï¿½
Respiration.
Depending to the abundance or shortage of light, one

of the processes takes place at the expense of the other; when there is a lot
of light, photosynthesis speeds up and produces more carbohydrates and oxygen
than is consumed during respiration. However, when it is completely dark,
respiration speeds up and consumes carbohydrates to release energy as well as
carbon dioxide and water. At dawn and dusk, the two processes reach
equilibrium; photosynthesis produces enough carbohydrates and oxygen for
respiration while the latter produces the energy, carbon dioxide and water
needed for photosynthesis.
*ï¿½From which We bring forth thick clustered grain.ï¿½*
Seeds in angiosperms are produced as a result of fertilization.

A seed contains the embryo of a new plant and a reserve of food that is sufficient
for it until it is able to produce its own food. These seeds can be the fruit
of the plant or can be enclosed within a fruit, which in either case can then
be dispersed to produce new plants or collected by people and animals. Seeds
are generally protected by a seed coat that contains a hilum, which indicates
the place of attachment of the ovules to the wall of the ovary. We can also see
a small pore, the micropyle, which marks the entry site of the pollen tube
during fertilization and is where water passes through to the embryo. This
later is made up of the epicotyl (future shoot system), hypcotyl, and the
radicle (embryonic root).
Caryopsis are the fruit of all cereals such as wheat,

barley, oat, corn, rice and other monocotyledonae belonging to the gramineae
family which consist of approximately 7000 species. Such plants are very successful
in that they cover a larger area than any other plants. They are also the major
food source for both humans and herbivores.
These grains consist mainly of carbohydrates that

are synthesized as a result of chlorophyll-mediated photosynthesis inside
chloroplasts (which give plants its green color). One is amazed by this verse revealed
1400 years ago, stating what can be translated as, * ï¿½It is He Who sends down
water (rain) from the sky, and with it We bring forth vegetation of all kinds,
and out of it We bring forth green stalks, from which We bring forth thick
clustered grain.ï¿½*
This verse links germination and precipitation (of
water) as well as the vitality of angiosperms (flowering plants, which most plants
are) and their ability to produce their own food via chlorophyll-mediated
photosynthesis in their green stalks. The verse goes further in linking grains
and the properties of green (chlorophyll rich) plant parts. This is very
accurate as the excess carbohydrates produced in the green parts of plants by photosynthesis
are stored in the grain. Through research and acquired knowledge, mankind has
only learned these facts in the twentieth century! Their mention in the Qurï¿½an
in such a thorough and precise manner fourteen centuries ago is confirmation of
the fact that the Qurï¿½an is Allahï¿½s word revealed to the last of His prophets
and messengers and is preserved in the language in which it was revealed in
(Arabic).
Praise be to Allah ( SWT) who revealed the

Noble Qurï¿½an, and peace and blessings upon the Prophet who received it and
transmitted it with complete honesty and devotion. May Allah ( SWT) grant
him the best rewards and award him Al Wassilah (a rank in paradise) and Al
Fadilah and the sublime, high ranks He had promised him, for Allah ( SWT)
never breaks His promise.

V.*
ï¿½See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce
therewith fruits of various colorsï¿½ *(TMQ, Fatir ï¿½ The Originator: 27)
This ayah appears in the

second half of Surat Fatir, which was revealed in Makkah. The Surah gets its
name, Fatir (Originator), from the opening ayahs which praise Allah ( SWT),
the Originator of the heavens and the earth who made the angels His Messengers,
as He is Able to do all things. He is most Gracious in the heavens and the
earth; He is the most Merciful, the All-mighty and the All-Wise.
Signs
of creation in Surat Fatir:
In Surat Fatir Allah mentions

many signs of creation, including the following. The ayahs can be translated
as:
*And it is Allah
Who sends the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them
to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. As
such (will be) the Resurrection!* (TMQ, Fatir: 9).
*And Allah did

create you (Adam) from dust, then from Nutfah (male and female discharge
semen drops i.e. Adamï¿½s offspring), then He made you pairs (male and
female). And no female conceives or gives birth but with His Knowledge.
And no aged man is granted a length of life nor is a part cut off from his
life (or another manï¿½s life), but is in a Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfï¿½z) Surely,
that is easy for Allah. And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike:
this is palatable, sweet and pleasant to drink, and that is salt and
bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish), and derive
the ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships cleaving (the sea-water
as they sail through it), that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you
may give thanks. He merges the night into the day (i.e. the decrease in
the hours of the night is added to the hours of the day), and He merges
the day into the night (i.e. the decrease in the hours of the day is added
to the hours of the night). And He has subjected the sun and the moon:
each runs its course for a term appointed. Such is Allï¿½h, your Lord; His
is the kingdom. And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him,
own not even a Qitmï¿½r (the thin membrane over the date-stone).* (TMQ,
Fatir: 11-13).
*See you not that

Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith
fruits of various colors, and among the mountains are streaks white and
red, of varying colors and (others) very black. And likewise of men and
Ad-Dawï¿½bb [moving (living) animals, beasts], and cattle, are of various
colors. It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear
Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving.* (TMQ, Fatir: 27, 28).
*Verily! Allah
grasps the heavens and the earth lest they should move away from their
places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one
that could grasp them after Him. Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing,
Oft-Forgiving.* (TMQ, Fatir: 41).
Each of the signs mentioned in these

ayahs need to be contemplated and considered separately, thus I will limit this
discussion to the first part of ayah 27 of this chapter.
I shall start with a brief review of the comments made by a number of

scholars commenting on this ayah* ï¿½See you not that Allah sends down water
(rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of various colors.ï¿½* (TMQ,
Fatir: 27).
Interpretation
of this ayah by some scholars
Fi Zilal Al-Qurï¿½an (In

the Shade of the Qurï¿½an) states, ï¿½This is only one of the spectacular
implications about creation proving the divine origin of this scripture. This
particular implication takes in the whole of the earth, including its colors
and hues, whether they are found in fruits, mountains, people or animals. It
basically encompasses everything on earth and overwhelms the heart with this
divine infusion of colors; from the rainfall to the harvest of fruits of
different colors. As Allah says what can be translated as, * ï¿½We
produce therewith fruits of various colorsï¿½.*
The color of fruit covers a

wide range of shades that no artist could ever create. There is no such thing
as a fruit species of identical color, nor do two pieces of fruit from the same
tree have exactly the same color. On closer inspection, we would see there is a
slight difference in the color of the twoï¿½.
Scientific
implications in this ayah
[u] [/u]
Fruits and botany
The fruit of flowering plants

is the fully developed ovary which carries the seeds. It is not affected by
changes in the environment around it.
There are different

classifications of flowering plants, depending on their fruit structures: some
plants have only either male or female reproductive organs and others have both
male and female reproductive organs. When the flower is fertilized, the male part
merges with the female one. Once they have successfully merged, a plant embryo
forms inside the seeds where it is surrounded by the nourishment it requires to
grow and is enclosed by a protective shell. Once the fertilized ovum, the seeds
or the individual seed it holds inside are fully grown, the tissues of the
ovary start to expand. Sometimes other tissues in the flower expand as well,
resulting in fruit formation. In order to form the fruit skin, which appears
right after the flower petals start to fall, the ovary wall may thicken, harden
or remain delicate.
In most flowering plants,

after the flower is fertilized and the fruit is formed, other organs start to
wither. There are, however, a few exceptions.
The main function of the fruit is to protect the plantï¿½s embryos inside
the seeds, providing them with the nourishment they require to grow, enabling
these seeds to spread after the fruit ripens or is consumed by people or
animals who then discard them on the ground where they start to grow again.
Unconsumed fruit may rot or spontaneously open in order to release the seeds
which are then carried by the wind, water, man or animals to distant places in
order to propagate the plant species.
The difference in the

colors of fruits means that they are of different types:
Commenting on Allahï¿½s words

that can be translated as,* (We produce therewith fruits of various colors)*,
Az-Zamakhshari said: ï¿½this difference in colors includes differences in types
and shapesï¿½. The different types of fruits are too numerous to count, although
we may categorize them hierarchically as follows:
i.
Simple fruits
These are fruits that develop

essentially from a single ovary in a single flower, either from one carpel or
from many carpels. Each of these simple fruits contains the embryo of the plant
which is surrounded by the nourishment that will suffice it until it is ripe. The
remainder is saved for future germinations. The embryo is often surrounded by a
number of protective membranes. The embryo, the nourishment surrounding it and
the protective coverings are collectively known as the seed or the stone. These
embryos stored inside the seeds, pits or stones of plants exist by the will of
Allah.
Simple fruits are of two

types: fleshy and dry. In the former, the embryo is surrounded by three layers:
from the inside out they are, a ligneous covering surrounding the seed (or the
stone) called the endocarp, a mesocarp, the fleshy covering of the endocarp;
this covering is the edible part of the fruit and finally, a delicate outer
skin covering the whole fruit which can become thick and waxy when the fruit
has fully ripened. These sorts of fruits, such as apricots, peaches, plums,
cherry olives, etc., are often called ï¿½drupesï¿½.
Some simple fleshy fruits are

known as ï¿½peposï¿½. In this type of fruit, the three layers protecting the embryo
maintain their softness even after the fruit is ripe, such as the cucumber,
whereas in grapes and tomatoes, the seed coverings are hard. Pepo fruits are of
a sebaceous nature; they have numerous seeds inserted within the endocarp
substance of the fruit, such as melons, watermelons, oranges and the likes.
Sometimes, organs other than

the ovary, such as the receptacle, calyx, the stem or carpels assist in forming
the fruit. These fruits can be simple like apples, pears or quinces. In these
plants, the receptacle tissue develops and becomes the edible part of the
fruit. These are simple accessory fruits because the edible part is the
developed receptacle of the flower. These fruits can also be complex as will be
mentioned later.
As for the simple dry fruits,

the membranes surrounding the embryo are all dry, and the fruits are either dehiscent
(they split open when mature) or indehiscent. The castor-oil plant has
dehiscent fruit. There is also the primulaceae fruit, which opens in the form
of a lid covering a capsule or in the form of pores that penetrate the fruit
wall such as the poppy seed, carnation fruit which opens in the form of a
capsule with intertwined teeth, cotton fruit with two or more carpels and
violets which have sharp, cutting edges. Some of them open on one side
lengthwise (brambles) and some of them open on both sides, like vegetables,
which is more common. Some take the shape of the mustard family fruits, like
watercress and gillyflowers.
As for indehiscent fruits or

simple dry fruits, the exocarp of the fruit remains closed and the seeds cannot
be exposed unless the wall of the fruit splits or decays. The wall could be of
wood, such as[u]
[/u]hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Sometime the wall of
the fruit is attached to the seed, as one finds in wheat. The outer layer is
sometimes leathery and is not joined with the seed as is the case of roses.
ii. Multiple Fruits
[u] [/u]
These fruits consist of the

matured ovaries of several to many flowers united in a cluster. Among this
group we have strawberries, raspberries and custard apples.
iii. Aggregate Fruits
[u] [/u]
This group contains fruits

that develop from multiple flowers aggregated over the surface of a single
receptacle. These complex fruits contain leaves, stems, and ovaries that
contain the plant embryos. Examples of these compound fruits are figs, berries,
sycamores and pineapples. They are considered to be ï¿½falseï¿½ fruits because the
fruit is formed by a combination of many parts of the flower along with the
ovaries.
The term ï¿½fruitï¿½ can be

expanded to include any part of the plant that can be consumed without the
flower, for example, roots such as carrots and turnips, tubercles such as
potatoes and yams, stems such as sugar canes and reeds and leaves such as mint,
watercress and parsley.
Fruits, whether coming from
real flowers, non-real flowers or from no flowers are the main sources of food
for human beings and for herbivore animals that people raise to benefit from
their milk, meat, fat and skin. These fruits are an important source of
carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, organic acids, oils, fats, wax, medicine and
dyes. They are also an important source for the fibers used in the manufacture
of fabrics like cotton.
The difference in the

colors of fruits shows the difference in their pigmentation
Just as fruits differ in

their growth patterns, they differ also in their colors, smell and taste. These
differences are a result of their chemical composition, their natural
characteristics and the amounts of nutrients and water they contain. This is a
result of the ability that Allah ( SWT) has given to each plant to use a
prescribed amount of elements and components in the earth from the ground in
which it grows.
The internal and external

colors of fruit differ distinctively; this is due to the different ratios of
pigments that each contains in its skin and inside the fruit.
These plant pigments are made

up of primary and secondary colors; the final color of the fruit, internally
and externally, depends on the ratios of these pigments. With the different
combinations of these ratios, the number of colors of fruits is almost
infinite.
The
Basic Plant Pigmentation Group
This group
comprises many shades of pigments that can be classified as follows:
(1) Green
Pigments: known as chlorophyll, they provide the different tones of green in
all green plants. They are considered the most important pigment in plants due
to their role in the process of photosynthesis. They are found in leaves and
concentrated in the form of very tiny plastids. They attract the sun rays and
use it to dissolve water (rising to the leaves with the nutritional fluids extracted
from the soil by capillarity) and carbon dioxide (absorbed by the plants). They
are broken down to form the main elements in plants. These elements are then
transformed into carbohydrates and sugars, releasing oxygen into the air. This
process, known as photosynthesis, produces most of the energy needed by the
plant and is usually stored in the form of chemical compounds and carbohydrates
needed by the plant. These carbohydrates are also vital for the lives of
people and animals. The green plastids usually include a number of other
pigments (as well as green ones); when the green pigments decrease in number,
these other hidden pigments show up and that is how green plastids change into
colored plastids. There are also plastids with no pigments which help to store
nutritional substances like carbohydrates, proteins and fats (needed by plants
for vitality and fruit growth). The chlorophyll molecule is formed by a ring
of carbon and nitrogen molecules around an atom of magnesium and a long chain
of hydrogen molecules.
(2)
Yellow Pigments: known as carotinoids. They give plants
various shades of yellow coloring. They are a group of carbohydrates that have
many chains, starting with yellow and ending with brown. The most famous of
these is the yellow pigment known as carotene, which is formed of four carbon
atoms and 56 hydrogen atoms.
(3)
Red Pigments: known as phycobilins, they give plants

various tones of red coloring. They are a group of carbohydrates that have many
chains made partially of proteins and carotinoids that, in turn, have long
chains of carbon together with molecules of chlorophyll starting with bright
red and ending with deep violet. The most famous of these are phycoarthrin
(red) and phycocyanin (a shade between indigo and violet). Fruit, in general,
start off green in color and as they approach maturity, the green starts to
clear away gradually and is replaced by the natural color of the fruit itself.
This color is naturally dependent on the amount of pigment and the chemical
formation of the plant, especially in the exocarp of each fruit.
By the
time fruits reach maturity, the green pigment fades away gradually or totally.
Fruits then start to acquire their natural color. Fruits such as citrus fruit,
apricots, apples and yellow plums acquire different shades of yellow. Fruits
such as strawberries, cherries, red plums and red apples acquire varying shades
of red. Dates, for instance, start off green and then become yellow, orange or
red; when ripe, the exocarp becomes brown or black. Mangoes are green to start
off with and change as they mature to either yellow or orange or remain green
as they originally were. Berries start out green or white, then mature into
various shades of white, red, black, etc.
Supplementary Plant Pigmentation Groups
In addition to the basic

group of pigments, there is another group of pigments known as ï¿½sensor
pigmentsï¿½. These pigments are present in smaller amounts in plant tissues than
the basic pigments. Yet, they play a fundamental role in the life of plants;
among them are:
(1)
The group of pigments affecting the overall color of the
plant, the phytochrome pigment group.
(2)
The group of invisible pigments, known as the cryptochrome
pigment group.
(3) The group of pigments sensitive to ultraviolet rays, known as the

ultraviolet photosensor pigment group. Such pigments are present in plants
like sunflowers. They play an important role in the life of the plant. They
also mix with other basic pigments (in varying amounts) to provide unlimited
numbers of colors for flowers and fruits and, in some cases, leaves.
The role of pigments (basic

and supplementary) is not limited to providing color to flowers and fruits as
each of these pigments has a role directly related to what happens inside plant
cells and tissues, including vital chemical reactions such as photosynthesis
and sensation in plants. They have many other functions of which we are
unaware. This is a sign of Allahï¿½s divine ability to give plants wonderful
colors to attract insects that help in fertilization and pollination. They are
also attractive to people and animals who take them, eat them and throw their
seeds on the ground, allowing the plant to grow anew. This process continues
eternally in a cycle that will end only when Allah wills it to.
The ayah we have discussed

here started by mentioning the water falling to the earth, showing the role of
this magnificent fluid in dissolving the many elements and compounds found in
the earth to make them fit for the nourishment and growth of plants.
Mention of the different

colors and pigments shows Allahï¿½s supreme ability to give these plants a
special DNA code that is suitable for every single plant so that it chooses
suitable compounds that are dissolved in the water, so that each flower or
fruit is of the right color, even though they all grow in the same soil and are
irrigated by the same water. These facts have only been discovered recently in
the last century and have only been understood in the last few decades.
However, they have been mentioned in the Qurï¿½an, which was revealed more than
fourteen centuries ago to the Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH), to a nation of
people who were mostly illiterate, providing clear evidence that such words
can never originate from a man but rather from a Creator who revealed them and
preserved them in the form in which they were first revealed; this form will
remain unaltered until the Day of Judgment as confirmed in Allahï¿½s words that
can be translated as, *ï¿½Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down theDhikr
(i.e. the Qurï¿½ï¿½n) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)ï¿½ *(TMQ, 15:9).
We
thank Allah for the blessing of Islam and the Qurï¿½an, from now until eternity.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon his Prophet, Muhammad, his family,
his companions and his followers until the Day of Judgment.

The Quran stated that the blood clot was turned to bone and then God clothed the bones with flesh, this is
incorrect info as living tissue forms first, and then bones grow at a later, have you heard in the history a lady
aborted in her first month bone skeleton for a baby!!!
1. The testes are in the abdomen initially, in the position stated. With the development of the fetus, the testes descend from the
posterior abdominal wall into their final destination in the scrotum.
2. 'we made sperm into a clot'--in the mucus in the vagina there is thickening of the mucus there when the sperm is present
(prevents retrograde motion)...this helps enhance the chance of fertilization (ie reaching the egg).
3.the blood clot-- Angiogenesis (formation of blood and blood vessels) begins very early--day 12.
4. Organogenesis of the fetus is not complete until week 12. You don't see a skeleton only with an abortion, since most are done on
first trimester fetuses, with all organ systems in the development phase. The elements are all there though... regarding 'bones' first
then 'flesh' (highly scientific terms btw) what about the primitive streak formation first and then the somites growth? or later on what
about the notochord and then the development of mesoderm?
Disclaimer: I do not want to argue about religion, also I do not have a PhD in Islamic studies and am therefore only presenting what
I know. But give credit where it's due (especially in the days lacking the equipment we have today), I do not dispute the findings or
attempts of ancient Greek civilization, ancient Egyptian civilization, or any others' attempts to further science/math.
I think if you're really interested in this topic, read up on it from scholars that have (both) an MD in addition to a PhD in Islamic
studies.

God. Isn't right? So try to be honest with yourself and think about this:
As everyone knows if the chief of archangel "Gabriel" will come to somebody, sure he would reveal
something NEW nobody knows before, that time we could call it revelation and who received the revelation
is a prophet where the title comes from the word "prophecies" as the revelation gave him new stories and
secrets nobody knows before but when we found that more half of Quran quoted from the Bible, same
stories, same events, same informations on universe,creation,angels,judgement days, Adamï¿½..etc what
you will call this angel who will come to reveal something you had known 600 years before Quran ï¿½is he
an IDIOT or the guy who informed this story about an angel met him is not telling the truth.
Now if you found someone gave you a book said it's from God which quoted from Quran the same stories, on
that time what you will call the guy and the book???

Embryology in the Noble Quran:[/b]
The following article was sent to me by brother/sister mdzamin_ezaz@yahoo.com;

may Allah Almighty be pleased with him/her.
EMBRYOLOGY
MAN IS CREATED FROM ALAQ---A LEECH-LIKE SUBSTANCE
A few years ago a group of Arabs collected all information concerning embryology from the QUR'AN,
and followed the instruction of the QUR'AN:
"If ye realise this not, ask Of those who possess the Message."
[AL-QUR'AN
16:43 & 21:7]
All the information from the QUR'AN so gathered, was translated into English and
presented to Prof. (Dr.) Keith Moore, who was the Professor of Embryology and Chairman of
the Department of Anatomy at the University of Toronto, in Canada. At present he is one of
the highest authorities in the field of Embryology. He was asked to give his opinion
regarding the information present in the QUR'AN concerning the field of embryology.
After carefully examining the translation of the Qur'anic verses presented to him, Dr.
Moore said that most of the information concerning embryology mentioned in the QUR'AN
is in perfect conformity with modern discoveries in the field of embryology and does not
conflict with them in any way. He added that there were however a few verses, on whose
scientific accuracy he could not comment. He could not say whether the statements were
true or false, since he himself was not aware of the information contained therein. There
was also mention of this information in modern writings and studies on embryology. One
such verse is:
"Proclaim! (or Read!) In the name Of thy Lord and Cherisher, WHO created---Created
man, out of A (mere) clot Of congealed blood."
[AL-QUR'AN
96:1-2]
The word 'alaq' besides meaning a congealed clot of blood also means something that
clings, a leech-like substance. Dr. Keith Moore had no knowledge whether an embryo in the
initial stages appears like a leech. To check this out he studied the initial stage of the
embryo under a very powerful microscope in his laboratory and compared what he observed
with a diagram of a leech and he was astonished at the striking resemblance between the
two! In the same manner, he acquired more information on embryology, that was hitherto not
known to him, from the QUR'AN.
Dr. Keith Moore answered about eighty questions dealing with embryological data
mentioned in the QUR'AN and HADITH. Noting that the information contained in
the QUR'AN and HADITH was in full agreement with the latest discoveries in
the field of embryology, Prof. Moore said, "If I was asked these questions thirty
years ago, I would not have been able to answer half of them for lack of scientific
information."
Dr. Keith Moore had earlier authored the book, 'The Developing Human'.After acquiring
new knowledge from the QUR'AN, he wrote, in 1982, the 3rd edition of the same book,
'The Developing Human'. The book was the recipient of an award for the best medical book
written by a single author. This book has been translated into several major languages of
the world and is used as a textbook of embryology in the first year of medical studies. In
1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Dr. Moore said,
"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the QUR'AN
about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to MUHAMMAD---sal
Allahu alayhi wa sallam--- from GOD or ALLAH, because almost all of this
knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that MUHAMMAD---sal
Allahu alayhi wa sallam--- must have been a messenger of GOD or ALLAH{The
reference for this statement is the video tape titled 'This is the Truth'.For a copy of
this video tape contact the Islamic Research Foundation}.
Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson, Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at the
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, U.S.A., proclaims: "... these HADITHS,
sayings of MUHAMMAD---sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam--- could not have been obtained
on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the writer (7th
century). It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion ( ISLAM)
but in fact religion ( ISLAM) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the
traditional scientific approaches... there exist statements in the QUR'AN shown
centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the QUR'AN having been
derived from GOD."
MAN CREATED FROM A DROP EMITTED FROM BETWEEN THE BACKBONE AND THE RIBS
"Now let man but think From what he is created! He is created from A drop emitted ---
Proceeding from between The back bone and the ribs."
[AL-QUR'AN
86:5-7]
In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the male and female, i.e. the testicles
and the ovaries, begin their development near the kidney between the spinal column and the
eleventh and twelfth ribs. Later they descend; the female gonads(ovaries) stop in the
pelvis while the male gonads(testicles) continue their descent before birth to reach the
scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in the adult after the descent of the
reproductive organ, these organs receive their nerve supply and blood supply from the
Abdominal Aorta, which is in the area between the back bone(spinal column) and the ribs.
Even the lymphatic drainage and the venous return goes to the same area.
HUMAN BEINGS CREATED FROM NUTFAH (Minute Quantity of Liquid)
The Glorious QUR'AN mentions no less than eleven times that the human being is
created from 'nutfah', which means a minute quantity of liquid or a trickle of liquid
which remains after emptying a cup. This is mentioned in several verses of the QUR'AN
including 22:5 and 23:13. {The same is also mentioned in the QUR'AN in 16:4, 18:37,
35:11, 36:77, 40:67, 53:46, 75:37, 76:2 and 80:19} Science has confirmed in recent times
that only one out of an average of three million sperms is required for fertilising the
ovum. This means that only a 1/three millionth part or 0.00003% of the quantity of sperms
that are emitted is required for fertilisation.
HUMAN BEINGS CREATED FROM SULALAH (quintessence of liquid)
"And made his progeny From a quintessence Of the nature of A fluid despised."
[AL-QUR'AN
32:8]
The Arabic word 'sulalah' means quintessence or the best part of a whole. We have come
to know now that only one single spermatozoan that penetrates the ovum is required for
fertilization, out of the several millions produced by man. That one spermatozoan out of
several millions, is referred to in the QUR'AN as 'sulalah'. 'Sulalah' also means
gentle extraction from a fluid.The fluid refers to both male and female germinal fluids
containing gametes. Both ovum and sperm are gently extracted from their environments in
the process of fertilization.
MAN CREATED FROM NUTFATUN AMSHAAJ (Mingled liquids)
Consider the following Qur'anic verse:
"Verily WE created Man from a drop Of mingled sperm."
[AL-QUR'AN
76:2]
The Arabic word 'nutfatun amshaajin' means mingled liquids. According to some
commentators of the QUR'AN, mingled liquids refers to the male or female agents or
liquids. After mixture of male and female gamete, the zygote still remains 'nutfah'.
Mingled liquids can also refer to spermatic fluid that is formed of various secretions
that come from various glands. Therefore 'nutfatun amshaaj', i.e. a minute quantity of
mingled fluids refers to the male and female gametes (germinal fluids or cells) and part
of the surrounding fluids.
SEX DETERMINATION
The sex of a foetus is determined by the nature of the sperm and not the ovum. The sex of
the chil, whether female or male, depends on whether the 23rd pair of chromosomes is XX or
XY respectively. Primarily sex determination occurs at fertilization and depends upon the
type of sex chromosome in the sperm that fertilizes an ovum. If it is an 'X' bearing sperm
that fertilizes the ovum, the foetus is a female and if it is a 'Y' bearing sperm then the
foetus is a male.
"That HE did create In pairs---male and female, From a seed when lodged (In its
place)."
[AL-QUR'AN
53:45-46]
The Arabic word 'nutfah' means a minute quantity of liquid and 'tumna' means ejaculated
or planted. Therefore 'nutfah' specifically refers to sperm because it is ejaculated.
The QUR'AN says:
"Was he not a drop Of sperm emitted (In lowly form)? Then did he become A clinging
clot; Then did (ALLAH) make And fashion (him) In due proportion. And of him HE made Two
sexes, male And female."
[AL-QUR'AN
75:37-39]
Here again it is mentioned that a small quantity (drop) of sperm (indicated by the word
'nutfatan min maniyyin) which comes from the man is responsible for the sex of the foetus.
Mothers-in-law in the Indian subcontinent, by and large prefer having male grandchildren
and often blame their daughters-in-law if the child is not of the desired sex. If only
they knew that the determining factor is the nature of the male sperm and not the female
ovum! If they were to blame anybody, they should blame their sons and not their
daughters-in-law since both the QUR'AN and Science hold that it is the male fluid
that is responsible for the sex of the child!
FOETUS PROTECTED BY THREE VEILS OF DARKNESS
"HE makes you, In the wombs of your mothers, In stages, one after another, In three
veils of darkness."
[AL-QUR'AN
39:6]
According to Prof. Keith Moore these three veils of darkness in the QUR'AN refer
to"
(a) anterior abdominal wall of the mother
(b)the uterine wall
(c)the amnio-chorionoic membrane.
EMBRYONIC STAGES
"Man WE did create From a quintessence (of clay); Then WE placed him As ( a drop of)
sperm In a place of rest, firmly fixed; Then WE made the sperm Into a clot of congealed
blood; Then of that clot WE made A (foetus) lump; then WE Made out of that lump Bones and
clothed the bones With flesh; then WE developed Out of it another creature. So blessed be
ALLAH, The Best to create!"
[AL-QUR'AN
23:12-14]
In this verse ALLAH states that man is created from a small quantity of liquid
which is placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed(well established or lodged) for which the
Arabic word 'qararin makin' is used. The uterus is well protected from the posterior by
the spinal column supported firmly by the back muscles. The embryo is further protected by
the amniotic sac containing the amniotic fluid. Thus the foetus has a well protected
dwelling place. This small quantity of fluid is made into 'alaqah', meaning something
which clings. It also means a leech-like substance. Both descriptions are scientifically
acceptable as in the very early stages the foetus clings to the wall and also appears to
resemble the leech in shape. It also behaves like a leech(blood sucker) and acquires its
blood supply from the mother through the placenta. The third meaning of the word 'alaqah'
is a blood clot. During this 'alaqah' stage, which spans the third and fourth week of
pregnancy, the blood clots within closed vessels. Hence, the embryo acquires the
appearance of a blood clot in addition to acquiring the appearance of a leech. In 1677,
Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists to observe human sperm cells(spermatozoa)
using a microscope. They thought that a sperm cell contained a miniature human being which
grew in the uterus to form a newborn. This was known as the perforation theory. When
scientists discovered that the ovum was bigger than the sperm, it was thought by De Graf
and others that the foetus existed in a miniature form in the ovum. Later, in the 18th
century Maupertuis propagated the theory of biparental inheritence. The 'alaqah' is
transformed into 'mudghah' which means 'something that is chewed(having teeth marks)' and
also something that is tacky and small which can be put in the mouth like gum. Both these
explanations are scientifically correct. Prof. Keith Moore took a piece of plaster seal
and made it into the size and shape of the early stage of foetus and chewed it between the
teeth to make it into a 'Mudgha'. He compared this with the photographs of the early stage
of foetus. The teeth marks resembled the 'somites' which is the early formation of the
spinal column. This 'mudghah' is transformed into bones (izam). The bones are clothed with
intact flesh or muscles (lahm). Then ALLAH makes it into another creature.
Prof. Marshall Johnson is one of the leading scientists in US, and is the head of the
Department of Anatomy and Director of the Daniel Institute at the Thomas Jefferson
University in Philadelphia in US. He was asked to comment on the verses of the QUR'AN
dealing with embryology. He said that the verses of the QUR'AN describing the
embryological stages cannot be a coincidence. He said it was probable that MUHAMMAD---sal
Allahu alayhi wa sallam--- had a powerful microscope. On being reminded that the QUR'AN
was revealed 1400 years ago, and microscopes were invented centuries after the time of PROPHET
MUHAMMAD---sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam---, Prof. Johnson laughed and admitted that the
first microscope invented could not magnify more than 10 times and could not show a clear
picture. Later he said: "I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that Divine
intervention was involved when MUHAMMAD---sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam--- recited
the QUR'AN."
According to Dr. Keith Moore, the modern classification of embryonic development stages
which is adopted throughout the world, is not easily comprehensible, since it identifies
stages on a numerical basis i.e. stage 1, stage 2, etc. The divisions revealed in the QUR'AN
are based on distinct and easily identifiable forms or shapes, which the embryo passes
through. These are based on different phases of prenatal development and provide elegant
scientific descriptions that are comprehensible and practical. Similar embryological
stages of human development have been described in the following verse:
"Was he not a drop Of sperm emitted (In lowly form)? Then did he become A clinging
clot; Then did (ALLAH) make And fashion (him) In due proportion. And of him HE made Two
sexes, male And female."
[AL-QUR'AN
75:37-39]
"HIM WHO created thee, Fashioned thee in due proportion, And gave thee a just
bias; In whatever Form HE wills, Does HE put thee together."
[AL-QUR'AN
82:7-8]
EMBRYO PARTLY FORMED AND PARTLY UNFORMED
At the 'mugdhah' stage, if an incision is made in the embryo and the internal organ is
dissected, it will be seen that most of them are formed while the others are not yet
completely formed. According to Prof. Johnson, if we describe the embryo as a complete
creation, then we are only describing that part which is already created.If we describe it
as an incomplete creation, then we are only describing that part which is not yet created.
So, is it a complete creation or an incomplete creation? There is no better description of
this stage of embryogenesis than the Qur'anic description, 'partly formed and partly
unformed', as in the following verse:
"WE created you Out of dust, then out of Sperm, then out of a leech-like Clot,
then out of a morsel Of flesh, partly formed And partly unformed."
[AL-QUR'AN
22:5]
Scientifically we know that at this early stage of development there are some cells
which are differentiated and there are some cells that are undifferentiated---some organs
are formed and yet others unformed.
SENSE OF HEARING AND SIGHT
Thefirst sense to develop in a developing human embryo is hearing. The foetus can hear
sounds after the 24th wek. Subsequently, the sense of sight is developed and by the 28th
week, the retina becomes sensitive to light. Consider the following Qur'anic verses
related to the development of the senses in the embryo:
"And HE gave You (the faculties of) hearing And sight and feeling (And
understanding)."
[AL-QUR'AN
32:9]
"Verily WE created Man from a drop Of mingled sperm, In order to try him: So WE
gave him (the gifts), Of Hearing and Sight."
[AL-QUR'AN
76:2]
"It is HE WHO has created For you (the faculties of) Hearing, sight, feeling
And understanding: little thanks It is ye give!"
[AL-QUR'AN
23:78]
In all these verses the sense of hearing is mentioned before that of sight. Thus the
Qur'anic description matches with the discoveries in modern embryology.

Thats a point. Many of the so called "miracles" in the Qu'ran had already been discovered by the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Indians
etc...
For example, I've heard Muslims claim the Qu'ran was the first in the ancient World to show that the World was round and not flat.
But the Greeks had already figured this out centuries before.
The Ancients were not stupid or ignorant like many of us think they were.

I'm not sure I can comment on the other 'miracles' but in reference to the embryological points in it--it definitely was ahead of its
time and not mentioned (to my knowledge) prior by the greeks/egyptians/ romans/indians. BTW Moore is actually a reputable
embryologist, not a quack by any means & has a great textbook.
And lets not even get into if the greeks were first or the egyptians.There's still the dispute over who's the father of medicine (just
post that in the Egyptology forum and see the response you get).
The ancient civilizations definitely deserve alot of credit, as do the religious texts that had all this stuff without the fancy stuff we
have today.

Actually, after doing a bit of light research, it appears that reference to embryos can be found mentioned by the Ancient Greeks, in
particular the famous Greek physician Galen.

Unlike you, I am reluctant to give praise to religious texts, because the Qu'ran and many Muslims erroneously claim alot of credit for
discovering scientific "miracles" first, when in reality, these discoveries were made hundreds of years before the Qu'ran was written
by Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian etc philosophers.

6 Wonders of the Holy

Qurï¿½an[/u][/b]
[u]2. Geology:[/u]
I.* ï¿½Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for

mankind was that at Bakkah Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for
Al-ï¿½ï¿½lamï¿½n (mankind and jinn).ï¿½ * [TMQ, Surat
Al-ï¿½Imran ï¿½ The Family of Imran: 96]
This Holy ayah comes in the middle

of Surat Al-Imran; which is a Madinan Surah and one of the longest Surahs in
Holy Qur'an as it consists of two hundred ayahs after the ï¿½ Basmallahï¿½.
This Surah is named Al-Imran as it contains a reference to the family of Maryam
(Mary) the daughter of Imran, and the mother of Jesus (peace be upon him and
our Prophet Muhammad). On this subject Allah says *ï¿½[glow=red,2,50]Allah chose Adam, Nï¿½h (Noah),
the family of Ibrï¿½hï¿½m (Abraham) and the family of ï¿½Imran above the
ï¿½ï¿½lamï¿½n (mankind and jinn) (of their times).Offspring,
one of the other, and Allï¿½h is All-Hearer, All-Knower.ï¿½[/glow] * (TMQ, Al-ï¿½Imran:
33-34).
This Surah relates the story of Imran's wife,

and their daughter Maryam the mother of Jesus (peace be upon them). The Surah
also relates the story of the miraculous birth of Jesus without having a
father, and sheds light on the miracles bestowed on him by Almighty Allah. The
Surah further contains references to Prophet Zakariah (Zacharia) and his son
Yahia (John the Baptist), whom Allah blessed him with when he was very old.
The Surah also contains a detailed description of the battle of Uhud.
The main theme of this Surah

is its dialogue with the People of the Scripture (those who believe in the
Gospel and the Torah). This dialogue highlights and defines a number of tenets
of the Islamic Faith.
Tenets
of faith in Surat Al-Imran:
The Tenets of Faith mentioned
in Surat Al-Imran can be summarized in the following points:
First:
Belief in Allah as the sole

God, worshipping Him only, with no partners, peers or rivals; refraining from
using any description for Him (glory be to our Lord) that does not befit His
Excellence and Majesty (such as claiming that Allah may have a wife or a son,
which is a quality of creatures of Allah and does not befit His Majesty).
Belief that Almighty Allah is

the Ever-Living, the One who sustains and protects all that exists, the One who
knows everything in heavens and earth. Belief that Glorious Allah is the One
who shapes fetuses in the wombs of their mothers as He wills. That He is the
All-Mighty, the All-Wise, that Allah is All-Seer of the (His) worshippers; and
that Allah is the Possessor of the dominion, giving power to whom He wills, and
taking power from whom He wills. That Allah endows with honor those whom He wills,
and He humiliates whom He wills, and that He is the source of goodness. Belief
that Allah is Able to do all things; that He knows what is in the heavens and
what is in the earth; that victory only comes with His guidance; and that He
supports whom He wills with victory. Belief that right guidance is the Guidance
of Allah; that all bounties are from Allah, and that Allah is All-Sufficient
for His creaturesï¿½ needs, All-Aware. He selects for His Mercy (Islam and the
Qur'an with Prophethood) whom[u] [/u]He wills and Allah is the Owner of Great
Bounty. Allah is full of kindness to (His) worshippers, and at the same time He
is, All-Able of Retribution, and that He never breaks (His) Promise.
Second:
Belief in Divine Revelation

revealed by Almighty Allah to His Messengers, in order to guide people; and
that He compiled, finished and preserved it in His final ultimate Message (The
Holy Qur'an and Prophet Muhammadï¿½s Sunnah), and that this final Message
confirms what came before it of Divine revelation and is dominant over them
all. In this respect, belief in the Messengers of Allah is an essential part in
the belief in Divine Revelation.
Third:
Belief that the Holy Qur'an

contains ayahs that are explicit (the foundations of the Book), and others that
are vague (Allah being the only One that knows their true interpretation). .
Fourth:
Belief that every person will

die one day, and that Almighty Allah will definitely gather all people in a day
that is beyond any doubt. In other words, the belief in the truth of the Afterlife
and Day of Judgment, and in major incidents they include; such as resurrection
and judgment, Heaven and Hell, that Heaven is the final abode of the pious and
that Hell is the final abode of the sinners; that the faces of the pious will
be bright on the Day of Judgment while the faces of those who disbelieved after
being believers and rejected faith after accepting it will be dark.
Fifth:
Belief that the sole religion

of Allah is Islam (Submission to Allah), and that those who were given the
Scripture (Gospel and Torah) did not disagree except, out of mutual envy, after
knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the ayat (proofs,
evidences, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah then surely, Allah is Swift in
calling to account.
Sixth:
The belief in the importance

of obeying Allah and His final Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him),
following his Sunnah, and holding fast, all Muslims together, to the Rope of
Allah (i.e. this Qur'an), and belief in the importance of not being divided
amongst themselves.
Seventh:
Belief that true believers in

Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
and his Sunnah form the best community ever raised up for mankind; because they
enjoin Al-Maï¿½rï¿½f (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has
ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam
has forbidden), and they believe in Allah. However, if they do not do this,
they will lose that honor. (I fear that supremacy might be misunderstood as a
Muslim belief that they are better then everyone else. I chose honor instead)
Eighth:
Belief in fate and destiny,

and that affliction is an essential part of oneï¿½s life that should be faced
with contentment, patience and acceptance of Allah's destiny.
Signs
of creation in Surat Al-Imran:
(1) That
Glorious Allah is the One who shapes fetuses in the wombs of their mothers as
He wills.
(2) A
reference to the theory that Earth revolves daily around its axis by mentioning
that night enters into day, and that day enters into night according to Allah's
Will.
(3) A
reference to the cycle of life, death and resurrection by mentioning bringing
the living out of the dead, and bringing the dead out of the living.
(4) A
reference to the creation of Adam from clay or earth.
(5) An
assertion of the fact that the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind
was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessings.
(6) An
assertion that Allah owns whatever exists on Earth or in the heavens, and to
Him only all matters return (for decision).
(7) An
assertion that everyone shall experience death and that no person can ever die
except by Allah's will and at an appointed term.
(8) A
reference to the human tendency to react to grief by remembering other sad
situations, this is a psychological issue discovered by recently.
(9) A
reference to the fact that in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in
the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for people of
understanding; and that contemplating upon them is a means of knowing the
Creator (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners),
and some of His glorious attributes and excellent abilities that have no
barriers in excellence in the art of creation.
Each one of these issues

needs a separate discussion, which is what I will do God willing, in the following
articles. But I will focus here on the fifth point which deals with the fact
that first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah).
However, before I begin, Iï¿½ll go over the interpretation of this ayah by some
scholars.
Interpretations
of this ayah by some scholars:
*ï¿½Verily, the first House

(of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of
blessings, and a guidance for Al-ï¿½ï¿½lamï¿½n (mankind and jinn).ï¿½* (TMQ, Al-Imran:
ayah 96).
Ibn-Kathir (May Allah have mercy on

his soul) said: Allah tells us that the first house appointed for mankind,
for the purpose of worship and performing rituals, circumambulating around
or facing towards it during daily prayers, and where people could resort
to focus on spirituality, was the House in Bakkah (Makkah). This
ï¿½houseï¿½ is the Kaï¿½ba, which was erected (upon previously established
foundations) by Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismaï¿½il (Ishmael) (peace be
upon them). That is why Allah says in the holy ayah what can be translated
as, *"full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-ï¿½ï¿½lamï¿½n
(mankind and jinn)"*. Abu-Dhar (may Allah be pleased with him)
related: "I once asked Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):
ï¿½Which was the very first mosque?ï¿½ He said: ï¿½The Sanctified Mosque.ï¿½ I
asked: ï¿½Then which?ï¿½ He said: ï¿½The Aqsa Mosque.ï¿½ I asked: ï¿½How many years
were between them?ï¿½ He said: ï¿½40 years.ï¿½ I asked: ï¿½Then which?ï¿½ He said:
ï¿½Wherever you are when the time for Salat comes then prayï¿½ they are all
mosques of Allah.ï¿½" (Related by Ahmed, and reported by the two Sheikhs,
Bukhari and Muslim, in the same form).
It was related that Ali (may

Allah be pleased with him) once said: There were houses before this one, but
this was the very first House appointed for mankind for the purpose of worshipping
Allah. On the other hand, Al-Sudday claimed that it was the very first House
ever built on earth (this is really a marvelous interpretation that exceeds the
knowledge available in that era by many centuries, although Ibn Kathir added
that: Ali's words are more trusted).
Concerning the name Bakkah
mentioned in the holy ayah, it is a famous name of Makkah. It was said that
Makkah was called Bakkah because it overpowers tyrants and it is where
they are defeated and humiliated. It was also said that this name goes back to
the fact that people came in crowds to Makkah. Katada said: Allah gathers all
people in this place; women pray in front of men in this place and nowhere
else. Shuba related that Ibrahim said: ï¿½Bakkah is the house and mosque.ï¿½ Ikramah
said: ï¿½The house and what surrounds it is Bakkah, while what is outside of this
is Makkah.ï¿½ Mukatel Ibn Hayan said: ï¿½Bakkah is the place of the house while
what is other than this is Makkah.ï¿½ There are many other names for Makkah:
Al-Bayt Al-Ateek (The Ancient House), Al-Bayt Al-Haraam (The Sanctified House),
Al-Balad Al-Ameen (The City of Security), Um Al-Qura (The Mother of all
Cities), Al-Qadesï¿½because it purifies people of their sinsï¿½ Al-Moqadasa,
Al-Hatema, Al-Ra's, Al-Balda, Al-Benya, Al-Kaï¿½aba.
Scientific
implications in this ayah:
After long debates that

exhausted many scientists over many decades, it was proven in the mid-1960s
that earth was completely immersed with water in a certain phase of its
creation, and that there was no dry land exposed above the surface of that
water. Then by the will of Allah, the bottom of this huge ocean exploded into
violent volcanic eruptions that kept on continuously throwing molten lava. The
lava accumulated in layers over layers causing a mountain range to form on the
bottom of this huge ocean. This mountain range continued to grow and mount
until its peak emerged out of the water's surface forming the first part of dry
land similar to the various volcanic islands widespread in today's oceans (such
as: Japanï¿½s islands, Philippines, Indonesia, Hawaii, etc.). The volcanic
activity continued, and this island grew gradually as a result of the
successive volcanic eruptions that added new areas to it, causing it to become
a great continent called the Mother Continent or Pangaea.
This
operation of gradual growth by accumulation is known in Arabic as ï¿½ Dahwï¿½
which is linguistically defined as: the process of extension, expansion and
throwing. In fact, this is a precise definition of the earth building processes
through volcanic eruptions. After Pangaea was completely formed, it started to
break up and rip apart by Allahï¿½s will and eventually fragmented into the seven
continents seen now on the earth's surface, which were closer to one another in
the past. These fragments then began to shift and drift apart until they
reached their present locations, and are in continuous dynamic movement up
until now.
This
phenomenon in which a part of the ocean turns into dry land, or in which the
dry land separates to enclose an ocean or a body of water inside it is called
ï¿½oceanic crust recyclingï¿½, where an ocean turns into dry land as a result of
successive volcanic eruptions from beneath the ocean's floor, which causes a
part of that floor to rise up to the water's surface in the form of volcanic
islands. Such volcanic islands keep in growing gradually till they turn into a
continent, and as a result of rifting and chinking parts of this continent it
is divided into two entities separated by a long sea such as the Red Sea. This long sea would widen continuously until it turns into an
ocean.
Fourteen
hundred years ago, it was related from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
that he said: "The Kaï¿½ba emerged from beneath the water, and then land
formed around it." This Hadith was mentioned by Al-Harawy in The Book
of Strange Ahadith (3/362). Al-Zamakhshary also included it in his book Al-Fa'ek
Men Ghareeb Al-Ahadith (The Very Strange Ahadith) (1/371) because its
scientific implications exceeded the knowledge of its era by fourteen hundred
years.
This
Hadith is supported by another Hadith narrated by Al-Tabarany and Al-Bayhaqy in
Al-Sha'b from Ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with both of them): "It (the Sanctified House) was the first thing
to come out over the surface of the water in the time of creating the heavens
and the earth as a block, then land formed from beneath it."
Those
two Ahadith are considered a miraculous scientific proof supporting the Prophethood
of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and proving that he was connected to Allah through
Divine Revelation, and was taught by the Creator of the heavens and earth,
because no creature before the middle of the twentieth century realized any of
these facts.
This is
supported by what we mentioned before, that Makkah is located in the middle of
Earthï¿½s mainland. This also indicates that the land beneath the Holy Kaï¿½ba is
considered as the oldest piece of the solid rocky surface of the earth.
However, no one tried to prove such a fact until now. Muslim scientists should
prove this by specifying the general age of rocks around the Kaï¿½ba through the
radioactive elements they contain (i.e. Carbon-14), in order to present this
evidence to all people ï¿½ be they Muslims or non-Muslims ï¿½ as this is considered
tangible, documented proof and logical evidence for all people that Muhammad
(peace be upon him) is the final Messenger of Allah.
These two Ahadith may support

Al-Sowdayï¿½s interpretation of the holy ayah that can be translated as, *ï¿½Verily,
the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah),
full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-ï¿½ï¿½lamï¿½n (mankind and jinn)ï¿½*
that it was the very first house ever existed on Earth's surfaceï¿½.
Praised be Allah who sent the

Holy Qur'an with His Knowledge to His final Messenger, and protected it for us
in the language in which it was revealed, word by word and letter by letter, to
be a warning for mankind and jinn. May Allah praise and send blessings upon the
final Messenger Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to whom this Holy Qur'an
was revealed and also upon his family, companions, and followers of his Sunnah
and whoever takes the responsibility of his mission until the Day of Judgment.
Praise be to Almighty Allah

Mr.Amr in Turkey or Ninja in Azerbijan or Batman there is no way to run
Lets compare Quran Sura Taha 20:120-124 with Bible Genesis 3:4-17
Fall of Adam and Eve in Quran
[120] But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never
decays?"
[121] In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their
covering, leaves from the Garden; thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
[122] But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him guidance.
[123] He said: "Get ye down, both of you, all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes
to you guidance from Me, whosoever follows My guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.
[124] "But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the
Day of Judgment."
Fall of Adam and Eve in Bible
4 "You will not surely die," the serpent (Satan) said to the woman (Eve).
5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
6 ï¿½."she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made
coverings for themselves."
17 To Adam he(God) said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat
of it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you;through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,

and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are
and to dust you will return."

the Holy Qurï¿½an and their Scientific Implications
[u]1. Botany:[/u][/url]
I. *ï¿½By the fig,

by the olive. By Mount Sinai. By this City of Security (Makkah)ï¿½* (TMQ, At-Tin
ï¿½ The Figs: 1-3)
These ayahs are the opening

ayahs of Surat at-Tin (The Figs), a Makkan Surah and one of the shortest in the
Holy Qurï¿½an; it has only eight ayahs after The Basmallah (In the name of
Allah, the most Merciful, the most Compassionate).
The theme of the Surah deals

with two main issues. Firstly, that Allah has honored man; he has created him
in the best of forms and with an instinct to act righteously. He has honored
him with his lineage, which goes back to Adam ( AS), who, as the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) informed us, was created from dust. Man was
honored with the truth of belief in Allah ( SWT) as his Lord, in Islam as
His religion and in the Prophethood and the divine message as being the method
of spreading knowledge of Him. This religion (Islam) brought with it clear
answers to the questions that confuse people throughout their lives,
irrespective of their status or position. Some of these answers concern
beliefs, worship, manners and behavior, constituting the core of religion. Man
cannot establish any true rules for himself concerning these issues, either as
they concern transcendental matters such as faith and divine orders related to
worship or because they are rules concerning his behavior, such as ethical
matters. Man has never been able to establish rules for his conduct based on
his own ideas and abilities, all of which makes religion a necessary part of
manï¿½s life on Earth.
The religion must be a true

religion, capable of providing man with a correct education and just rules for
living by; the religion must be a clear, divine statement, devoid of human
designs. This is the distinction between a true and untrue religion. The
importance of faith in the life of man becomes clear here. Man is an honored
being about whom Allah ( SWT) says in the Qurï¿½an, what can be translated as,
*ï¿½And indeed We have honored the Children of Adam, and We carried them on
the land and sea, and have provided them with At-Tayyibat (lawful good
things), and have preferred them above many of those whom We created with a
marked prefermentï¿½*. (TMQ, Al-Israa: 70).
Allah (SWT) has

granted His honored creation (man) free will, thus he rewards him for the good
deeds he does and punishes him for his bad deeds. Allah ( SWT) has made
him fully prepared to accommodate this freedom in his body, soul, sentiments, mind
and senses. He has made manï¿½s freedom of choice a reason for bestowing honor on
him and a means for evaluating his deeds; the more he abides by the rules Allah
Has laid down for him, the higher rank of human perfection he reaches. There is
no better proof for this than in the Hadith Qudsi in which the Allah ( SWT)
says what can be translated as, ï¿½My bondsman (servant) continues to draw
near to me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him
I am his hearing with which he hears, his eyesight with which he sees, his
tongue with which he talks, his heart with which he perceives. Were he to ask
[something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and where he to ask for my
victory, I would surely grant it to him. The best ways to worship me, my
servant, is to advise for my sakeï¿½ (Reported by al-Tabarani)
During Prophet Muhammadï¿½s ( PBUH)

night journey, the miï¿½raj, he was accompanied by Jibril (Gabriel), who
stopped at a certain point whereas Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH) continued his
ascension. Jibril told Muhammad (PBUH) that he could not go further as
he would get burned whereas he, Muhammad, could continue. This is an honor no
other creatures have achieved nor could ever achieve.
The more man elevates his

standing through his good character, the more honor he is given by Allah ( SWT);
however, this honor can be also removed should man degrade himself by going
against his instinct to do good, thus falling beneath the rank of such honor.
Then man is rendered to the lowest of the low in this life with his
wretchedness and is thrown into the lowest part of Hell in the hereafter. Allah
says in the Qurï¿½an what can be translated as,* ï¿½Verily, We created man in
the best stature (mould). Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. Save
those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds. Then they shall
have a reward without end (Paradise).*ï¿½ (TMQ, At-Tin, The Fig: 4-6).
Some interpretations given

for these ayahs state that they mean that Allah ( SWT) has created man in
the best form, shape and appearance; He has given him a brain, organs, senses,
emotions, the ability to acquire knowledge and skills, free will as well as
other qualities, talents and abilities that assist him in his life on Earth.
They grow with him, peaking in youth and then start their gradual decline and
disappearance as one grows old. Weakness succeeds strength and inability
succeeds ability. If he is a disbeliever, Allah leaves him to his human
weakness and impotence. If he is a devout believer, Allah honors him in his old
age, pardons his shortcomings and gives him his due reward even if his weakness
prevents him from performing the acts of worship (prayer, fasting, etc.)
properly. Ibn Abbas ( RA) reported that Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH)
said, ï¿½When a believer gets old and is unable to carry on performing the
religious practices he used to do, Allah writes down for him the good deeds of
such performances as if he did themï¿½ . It is also stated in Bukhari that Abu
Musa Al-Ashaï¿½ri said that the Messenger of Allah ( PBUH) said, ï¿½When a
believer gets ill or is traveling, Allah writes down for him the good deeds of
the religious practices he used to do when he was healthy at home as if he did
them.ï¿½
These ayahs could quite

easily entail both interpretations; these ayahs discuss those who have become
weak in old age. At such an age, Allah shows mercy to His believers and leaves
the disbelievers in their weakness and impotence. The second interpretation
concerns the hereafter and the dreaded terror and punishment. Allah will save His
devout worshippers, granting them their due reward, whereas the disbelievers
will be thrown into the lowest part of Hell. There are other likely
interpretations for these ayahs and Allah knows best concerning them.
The second issue the Surat deals with is the religion (Islam) Allah revealed to mankind gradually through more
than 315 Messengers. Allah chose these 315 Messengers from the 120,000 Prophets
He sent. All Messengers were sent with the message of Islam; they called on
their people to worship Allah alone. The laws sent to nations differed from
time to time, yet the message was always the same,* ï¿½O my people! Worship
Allah! You have no other Ilah (God) but Him. (La ilaha illallah: none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah).Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a
Great Day!"*
(TMQ, Al-Araf: 59, 65, 73

and 85 and Hud: 50, 61, and 84).
Allah completed His message

to mankind by sending Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH), the seal of the Prophets.
As his was the final message, Allah made mention of it in the preceding
messages. Allah promised to preserve it in the language in which it was
revealed in (Arabic). This final message has been preserved, word for word,
letter for letter, for more than fourteen centuries and shall continue to be so
until the Day of Judgment. Such preservation is a miracle in itself as none of
the other divine books have been preserved in their original state. Allah left
the task of the preservation of these books to their people; consequently,
parts of these books were either lost or distorted. The distortion of these
books has deprived them of their divinity and has made them incapable of
guiding people. The blood baths and destruction that sweep Palestine in the
names of Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham ( AS), all of whom have nothing
to do with the matter, provide ample proof of this. The same as occurs in Iraq
and Afghanistan in the name of Jesus ( AS), who is innocent of all the
crimes and infringements of the simplest human rights that occur there in his
name. In the name of religion, the weak are caught up in such conflicts;
religion, however, for its part, is innocent of all of this.
It is for this reason that

the concluding ayahs of Surat at-Tin address every disbeliever with the
critical question that can be translated as,* ï¿½Then what can (or who)
causes you (O disbeliever) to deny the Recompense (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection? Is not Allah the Best of judges?ï¿½*(TMQ, At-Tin 7-8).
These ayahs pose the

question; what pushes you ï¿½ disbeliever or polytheist - to disbelieve in Allah
after you have seen all these proofs of His creative power and of His ability
to resurrect the dead and to judge whether to punish or reward His creation in
the Hereafter? This is the truth that has been brought down in all of the
divine messages and has been emphasized in the final one, the Qurï¿½an, preserved
by Allah. This evidence puts every sinner and disbeliever in the category of
those who deny the faith and the truth that Allah is the wisest of all judges;
Allah who created all things and judges wisely between his creatures. The Surah
concludes with an affirmative question after the negative one which precedes
it. Prophet Muhammad says in the Prophetic narration, ï¿½When you recite Surat at-Tin and reach the end where it says: ï¿½Is not
Allah the Best of judges?ï¿½
Say, ï¿½yes, He is the wisest of judges, and to that I am a witnessï¿½. Malik
says, ï¿½Al-Bura' Ibn Azeb reported that the Messenger of Allah, while traveling,
recited Surat at-Tin in his prayer. He said that he never heard a recitation
more beautiful than that of the Messenger of Allah'sï¿½.
Surat At-Tin is the only

Surah in the Qur'an which has the name of a fruit or a plant. The fig is
mentioned in it once and as such is the only mention of figs in the whole
Qur'an; olives and the oil derived from it, however, are mentioned in six other
ayahs. The Surah begins with Allah swearing by both the figs and the olives.
Allah does not need to swear by anything to prove a point to His worshippers;
the aim behind this oath is to draw attention to the high nutritional
importance of these two types of plants and to the importance of the blessed
lands in which they grow. Ibn Abbas ( RA) said, "Allah means the
figs you eat and the olives from which you press oil." Allah links this
oath to another by mentioning two holy places, Mount Sinai and the City of Security (Makkah). Allah says what can be translated as,
*"By the fig, by the
olive. The Mount of Sinai. By this City of Security (Makkah)"* (TMQ,
At-Tin 1-3).
Some scholars have stated

that figs and olives are references to the lands in which these two plants
grow; Mount Sinai is the mountain upon which Moses conversed with Allah and is
found in the Sinaiï¿½ peninsula. ï¿½Sinaiï¿½, in Arabic, means ï¿½the beautiful or the
blessedï¿½. Nowadays, this mountain is known as the Mountain of Moses or the Mount of Al-Munajah (the discourse). The City of
Security is the holy city of Makkah with the sacred mosque of the Kï¿½aba; the first sanctuary for mankind. These places
have an unquestionable relation to the divine revelation. Linking these holy
places with an oath by the figs and olives has led some scholars to say that
Allah may be referring to the honor of the lands in which both plants grow; Jerusalem and Mount Zeta where the holy Al-Aqsa
mosque was built. We ask Allah to
liberate the mosque, liberate Palestine and all Muslim countries from
tyrannical occupation, Amen.
Figs and olives (of many

varieties) are grown in the Levant and south-eastern Turkey. In the Levant, one
finds Mount Tina near Damascus, which is the land of gathering (where mankind
will gather on the Day of Judgment). In Turkey, there is Mount Judei where Noahï¿½s Arc came
to rest and where the remains of Noahï¿½s mosque are to be found. Furthermore, to
each of these three places, Mount Sinai, Jerusalem and Makkah, Allah has sent
three of his most important Messengers. Allah sent His Prophet Jesus ( AS)
to Jerusalem. He spoke to His Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai. As for Makkah,
most of the Prophets visited the city and are buried there; it is, of course, also
the city where Allah revealed his message to His Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH).
Though the Qurï¿½an clearly

brings at the beginning of the Surah the mention of two edible plants (figs and
olives), yet that does not deny the fact that this oath might also refer to the
lands where they grow. It then becomes obvious that the oath is connected to
places, when the other part of the oath brings the mention of two holy places
(the holiest of which is Makkah).
After the first four oaths,

Allah states the reason for which He made these oaths in what can be translated
as, ï¿½Surely We created man of the best stature; Then We render him the
lowest of the low. Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a
reward unfailing.*ï¿½ (TMQ, At-Tin, The Fig: 4-6).
The Surah is then concluded

with a rebuking and reprimanding question for every disbeliever, polytheist and
sinner, in the ayah that can be translated as, ,* ï¿½Then what can (or
who) causes you (O disbeliever) to deny the Recompense (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection? Is not Allah the Best of judges?ï¿½*(TMQ, At-Tin 7-8).
In reply, one can only say,

ï¿½Yes, Allah is the wisest of judges and on this I am a witnessï¿½, as the
Messenger of Allah ( PBUH) taught us.
Tenets of faith
in Surat At-Tin:
1. Allah (SWT) has created man in the best form.
The disbelievers, polytheists and sinners will be the lowest of the low in
this life and the hereafter. As they grow old, Allah will make them
weaker and inflict them with disease. In the hereafter, they will then be
sent to the lowest place in hellfire. However, those who believe and do
good deeds will be honored by Allah; in this life, they will be honored
with His blessings, care, generosity and mercy. In the hereafter, Allah
will make them enter Paradise and give them their due reward.
The only religion
acceptable to Allah is Islam. It is the religion Allah revealed gradually
to his apostles and sealed with the Prophet Muhammad, preserving it in the
language of its revelation (Arabic).
True faith is
exemplified by good deeds.
He who denies the

truth of Islam is exempt from Allahï¿½s mercy and is doomed to live in
misery in this life and the hereafter no matter how rich, noble and famous
he is.
Allah (be He Exalted)
is the Wisest of judges.
Signs
of creation in Surat At-Tin:
1. Allah swore by both

the figs and the olives owing to them being complete foods of high
nutritional value for human beings. He also mentioned the sanctity of
their native lands.
Allah swore by the
holy mountain, Tur, in Sinai where He spoke to His Messenger and
servant, Moses.
Allah swore by the
City of Security, Makkah, in which the first sanctuary for mankind was
built. Modern science has proved that Makkah is the most unique place on
earth.
Allah refers to man
as having been created in the best of statures.
Allah warns people

that they could be reduced to be the lowest of the low in this life and
the hereafter. Allah makes man the most honorable of all creation when he
is a good believer and the most hateful when he is bad or a disbeliever.
Behavioral science recognizes such depravation in many people nowadays.
Each of the issues mentioned

above require separate research. I shall limit my essay to a discussion the
first three ayahs of this Surah. Before I begin, let us have a quick look at
some scholarï¿½s interpretations of these three ayahs
Interpretation
of these ayahs by some scholars:
Concerning the interpretation

of the following ayahs, *"By the fig, by the olive. The Mount of Sinai.
By this City of Security (Makkah)"* (TMQ, At-Tin 1-3).
Al-Tabari (May Allah has mercy on him) says: What is

meant by ï¿½the figsï¿½ is the fruit that people eat and ï¿½the olivesï¿½ is that
which is pressed for oil. Allah swore by both of them. There is a
difference of opinion concerning the ayah, ï¿½And the Mount of Sinaiï¿½. Mount Sinai is a well-known mountain; it is said to be
the mountain upon which Moses
conversed with Allah and built his mosque. ï¿½And this City of Securityï¿½ refers to the holy city of Makkah which is safe from
attack or invasion.
Ibn-Kathir says: Scholars have differed in their

interpretation of these ayahs. Some of them said that in saying ï¿½by the
figsï¿½; Allah is referring to Damascus and its mountain. Al-Qurtubi said:
It refers to the mosque of the sleepers in the cave. It has been narrated
that Ibn-Abbas said: It refers to Noahï¿½s mosque on Mount Judei. Mujahid said, concerning the figs: The oath refers to the
fruit you eat. As for the
olives, Qatada said the oath refers to Jerusalem. Mujahid and Ikrima
said: Allah means the olives that are pressed for oil, by ï¿½Mount Sinaiï¿½
Allah means the mountain upon which Moses conversed with Him, while ï¿½the
City of Securityï¿½ is Makkah. Ibn-Abbas, Mujahid and some scholars said
that Allah had sent three of his most important Messengers to each of
these three places and it was to them (Moses, Jesus and Muhammad) that
Allah revealed the major scriptures. The first place is the land of figs
and olives, which is Jerusalem, where Jesus was sent. The second is Mount Sinai where Moses talked to Allah. The third is the
ï¿½City of Securityï¿½ which is the
holy city of Makkah where Prophet Muhammad was sent.
Scientific implications in the first three ayahs

of Surat At-Tin:
Allah swearing an oath by the figs
In swearing an oath by the

figs, Allah (who knows best) seems to be drawing our attention to the
miraculous creation of such fruit and to its high nutritional value.
Parts of the figï¿½s

creation wonders
The fig is a complex accessory fruit that is

actually an inside-out flower cluster called a synconium, formed as a result of
the growth of synconia in the shape of a cone. Tiny female flowers (pistil)
line the inner surface of the synconia while male flowers (stamens) spread out
around the outer layer which is narrow at the top. The female flowers usually
mature before the male ones. Allah Has assigned the fig wasp (blastophaga) to
help pollinate the fig flowers. The relationship is symbiotic; fig flowers
provide a warm safe place for blastophaga larvae to stay and feed in until they
become adults. As the adult wasps make their way out of the flower, their
bodies come into contact with the male flowers, pollen sticks to the body of
the insects that then carry the pollen to the female flowers, pollinating them
and allowing fertilization to begin. Three generations of flowers are found in
the fig tree. The first generation contains the male and insect-hosting
flowers. The second generation of flowers is female ones pollinated by the
insects coming out of the first generation flowers. These insects fertilize
the flowers producing the main harvest of the fig tree. The third generation
flowers contain insect-hosting flowers where the insects spend the winter.
Who else but Allah could set

up such an accurate reproductive system for the fig tree? Who else but Allah
could teach the fig wasp that its home is in the flower of fig tree to assist
fertilization as it moves from one flower to another? The relationship between
this insect and the fig flower is one of the most amazing examples of symbiosis
between plants and insects.
The benefits of figs
Figs are rich in

carbohydrates which form 53% of their overall mass. Monosaccharide and
carbohydrate compounds make up the majority of carbohydrates present along with
a small amount of proteins (approximately 3.6%) and smaller amounts of
potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc, sulfur, sodium
and chorine. Figs also contain many vitamins, enzymes, acids, antiseptic
agents, high fiber content (18.5%) and a high percentage of water. Among the
special enzymes found in the fig is an enzyme called ficin which has been found
to play an important role in digestion.
Japanese scientists have

discovered an aromatic aldehyde compound, benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO)
in figs. This chemical compound was extracted from figs and has proved
to be effective in fighting carcinogens. Carbohydrates compounds known as the soralins have also
been discovered in figs; these compounds play an important role in fortifying
blood against a number of disease-causing viruses and parasites, such as hepatitis
C. This carbohydrate group is found in large
amounts in figs; in its syrup, juices and jams.
Fig have also proved to be

beneficial for breastfeeding mothers, in treating hemorrhoids, chronic
constipation, gout, chest diseases, menstrual disorders, epilepsy, mouth
ulcers, gingivitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, leucoderma, removing warts,
healing injuries, and different kinds of ulcers. Thus, Abu Dardaï¿½ narrated that
the Messenger of Allah ( PBUH) said, ï¿½If I were to tell you of a fruit
that has been sent from paradise, it would be the fig. Fruits of paradise are
without pits. Eat the fig as it is a cure for hemorrhoids and goutï¿½.
Swearing an oath by
the olives:
Olives and olive oil are

mentioned in the Qurï¿½an seven times; one of these occasions is where Allah
swears by the fig and the olive at the beginning of Surat At-Tin. The olive
tree is a blessed tree and so is its fruit. It is a perennial tree which can
live for more than a thousand years. It is considered an important source of
oil. Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils; it contains very small amounts
of fatty acid and does not increase the amount of harmful fats in the blood as
other kinds of oil do. This is because the fats in olive oil are all
unsaturated and do not cause atherosclerosis, hypertension or any other
diseases. Olive oil is a yellow transparent fluid rich with oleic acids, used
in cooking or added to salads. It plays an important role in deoxidizing the
cholesterol secreted by the body. This is because it contains vitamin E as
well as other chemical compounds known as polyphenolic compounds which prevent
the oil from autoxidizing, protecting the body from the dangers of harmful
lipid peroxides.
Regular consumption of olive

oil decreases the overall amount of cholesterol in the blood and its other
harmful kinds in particular. More particularly, it reduces the possibility of
heart diseases and cancer. Aside from its use in cooking, olive oil is an
ingredient of many medicines, ointments, hair oils, soap, and it is also used
in oil lamps because of the clear flames it produces.
Curing olives preserves them

for use in food. The oil content of an olive is approximately 67-84% of its
mass. Olive oil is made up of important chemical compounds, including glycerol
compounds and fatty acids known as glycerides. Fatty acids make up a high
percentage of the oilï¿½s mass; oleic acid constitutes the largest percentage of
the fatty acids in olives and olive oil, along with small amounts of palmatic
acid, linolic acid, stearic acid, and mystric acid. Moreover, olives and olive
oil contain a moderate amount of proteins and smaller amounts of potassium,
calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, sulfur and fibre. These elements
are needed to produce about a thousand chemical compounds that are essential
and useful for the wellbeing of the human body. For these reasons and for
others unknown to us about olives, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab (Allah Be pleased with
him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( PBUH) said, ï¿½Eat olives
and use its ointment for it comes from a blessed treeï¿½. Muadh Ibn Jabal
(Allah Be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( PBUH)
said, "The best miswak[url=#_ftn1" title=] [1]
is that of the olive tree as it is a blessed tree. It is my miswak and that

used by Prophets before meï¿½.
Allah swears by the olive and

mentions it seven times in the Qurï¿½an. Olive and olive oil are rich in fats
and proteins and low in carbohydrates (sugar and starches) whereas the fig is
rich in sugar and starchy compounds, and low in fats and proteins. Therefore,
figs and olives fulfill the human bodyï¿½s need for nutritional substances. The
oath sworn on them at the beginning of the Surat is a scientific miracle
revealed in the Qurï¿½an 1400 years ago.
Swearing an oath by
Mount Sinai
This is Mount Tur in Sinai, or the Mountain of Moses where the Torah was revealed to Moses. It is mentioned
in 12 ayahs in the Qurï¿½an (in Surat Al-Baqara: ayahs 63, 93, An-Nisaï¿½: 154,
Al-Aï¿½raaf: 143, 171, Maryam: 52, Ta Ha: 80, Al-Muï¿½minun: 20, Al-Qasas: 29, 46,
At-Tur: 1 and At-Tin: 2). One Surah (chapter) even bears its name (Surat
At-Tur). It is, of course, a blessed place worthy of having an oath sworn by
it.
Swearing by the City

of Security
The City of Security is the

holy city of Makkah where the first place of worship for mankind was built.
The Messenger of Allah said, ï¿½The Kaï¿½ba was a small hill over water, then
the earth formed under itï¿½, meaning that the earth under the Kaï¿½ba is the
first piece of land to have appeared on the surface of the huge ocean that
covered Earth in the beginning. Then land started to spread around this
blessed place to form a continent called the ï¿½mother continentï¿½ (Pangaea).
Pangaea was then divided, forming the seven continents. These continents were
much closer to each other than they are now. Later, they started drifting away
from each other or colliding with each other until they settled in their
current locations. Scientifically, it has been proved that Makkah is and was
the centre of land throughout all phases of Earthï¿½s development. In other
words, if one draws a circle with Makkah at the centre, the circle would
completely surround the solid land on earth. Allah says in the Qurï¿½an what can
be translated as, *ï¿½Verily, The first House (of worship) appointed
for mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for
Al-Alamin (mankind and Jinn).ï¿½* (TMQ, 96-Al-Imran).
These ayahs that compare the

earth (in its smallness) with the heavens (with its large dimensions) point to
the earth being the centre of the universe as does the ayah which talks about
the separation and the unification of the earth and the heavens. If the earth
was the centre of the universe and the Kaï¿½ba was the centre of the land on the
primary earth, then below it are six layers of earth, above it seven skies,
making the holy Kaï¿½ba the centre of the centre of the universe. The Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) said, ï¿½The shrine of Makkah, is a midpoint shrine; it
is centralized between seven layers of earth and seven layers of skiesï¿½.
[u] [/u]
He further emphasizes this

fact by saying,ï¿½O people of Quraysh, O people of Makkah, you all stand
parallel to the centre of heaven!ï¿½ Also, the Messenger of Allah once asked
his honorable companions, ï¿½Do you know what the Bait al-Maï¿½mur is?ï¿½ They
replied, ï¿½Allah and His Messenger know bestï¿½. He said, ï¿½It is a house in the
seventh heaven exactly above the Kï¿½aba, if it fell, would fall right over it.
Seventy thousand angels enter into it everyday; when the last of them come out
they do not return there againï¿½.
[u] [/u]
All these miracles make

Makkah the place that Muslims turn to five times daily in prayers and their
place of pilgrimage in which one prayer is equivalent to one thousand prayers
elsewhere. It was also the hometown of many Prophets. The Messenger of Allah ( PBUH)
said, ï¿½When their nations perished, Prophets used to migrate to Makkah, stay
there with their followers, and worship Allah until they died. Noah, Hud,
Salah, and Shuï¿½aib all died in Makkah and were buried between Zamzam well and
the black stoneï¿½. Prophet Ismaï¿½il (Ishmael) and his mother Hagar were both
buried at Hajr Ismail, a place in Makkah. Allah also chose Makkah to be
the birth place of His last Messenger. He swore by the city in Surat At-Tin
and Surat Al-Balad (The City) which He named after Makkah. Allah gave Makkah
the epithet of ï¿½the mother of all citiesï¿½ ( Ummul Qura) as it was the
place where land first appeared and is subsequently the mother of all the
earth. Makkah is thus worthy of having an oath sworn by it and of being called
the ï¿½City of Securityï¿½ in Surat At-Tin, and was worthy of having a Surat named after it, Al-Balad.
These scientific facts about

the fig and the olive, about Makkah, the city of security and the historical
and religious facts concerning the meeting between Allah and his servant,
Moses, on Mount Tur, were all facts unknown to the inhabitants of the Arabian
peninsula and to all mankind at the time of their revelation 1400 years ago and
for many centuries after. The oath by the fig and the olive could never be one
taken by man; it is the word of Allah and the proof of the Prophethood of His
last Messenger, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). It proves that the
Messenger of Allah received the inspiration from Gabriel and was taught by the
Creator of the heavens and earth, Allah.
May peace and blessings be

upon him (Muhammad), his companions and those who follow him until the Day of
Judgment. Praise be to Allah who revealed the Qurï¿½an and granted the blessing
of Islam. Praise be unto Allah until we meet with Him and should He will it,
He will be pleased with us. He is the Merciful, the Most Generous, and the One
who guides to the right path.
Instead of pasting these journals that you never read try to let your mind works and answer my questions:
-How an angel would reveal an old stories revealed before?
-If we have the source of same stories in Quran before Quran 1500 years why do we have to follow the copy not the source?!

-How an angel would reveal an old stories revealed before?
cuz the old revelation got corrupted and no longer authentic

the Ancient Greeks, in particular the famous Greek physician Galen.

Unlike you, I am reluctant to give praise to religious texts, because the Qu'ran and many Muslims
erroneously claim alot of credit for discovering scientific "miracles" first, when in reality, these discoveries
were made hundreds of years before the Qu'ran was written by Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian etc
philosophers.
~Alistair
I think I came across the same page you did, when I did some 'light research' before...but that page struck me as propaganda?
Granted that both camps seem to do the same. I'll definitely look into it though when I get a chance and some time.

Ok which part that corrupted, before or after Quran? And who did that Christians or Jews or both? Before claiming something you
have to present the proofs which respect our minds, not just using the word "corruption" that you have been taught in blind and you
are repeating it like parrot to let your mind sleep.
the Quran is the last revelation that embraces all the previous messages of Prophet Moses, Jesus. every1 who seek the
truth must follow it.
Hmmmm last revelation should bring new issues not quote from others the same stories,otherwise it can't be a revelation isn't right?
How come the prophets in the bible committed adultery and shameful deeds n u wanna tell me the bible is the true
Gospel
prophets weren't infallible all of them did sins and it's better to read the famous hadith of intercession"Shaf'aa" prophet Muhammed
in judgment day which states prophets did sins except Muhammed..

Althought the above hadith mentioned that Muhammed is sinless but it came to Jesus and mentioned he is God's word and his spirit
and no sin for him but they had to mention something to make him unqualified so they made him said"I followed another God me
and my Mother so go to Muhammed" have you found now how was the mentality of these scholars!! how the word of God will follow
another God they wanted anything to create their Hero even by claiming liars on the word of God.
Another comparison of Quranic verses quoted typically from Exodus of Moses in Bible, here is a dialogue between Moses and God
compare to find the plagiarism
Sura Taha 20 with Exodus 3, 4
1-Quran 20:10
[11] But when he came to the fire, a voice was heard: "O Musa"
Exodus 3:4
[4] God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
2- Quran 20:12
[12] "Verily I am thy Lord! Therefore (in my presence) put off thy sandals: thou art in the sacred valley Tuwa.
Exodus 3:5
[5] God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."
3- Quran 20:17
[17] "And what is that in thy right hand, O Musa?" He said, "It is my staff
Exodus 4:2
[2] Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied
4- Quran 20:19
[19] (Allah) said, "Throw it, O Musa!"

[20] He threw it, and behold! it was a snake, active in motion.
Exodus 4:3
3 The LORD said, "Throw it on the ground." Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it
5- Quran 20:22
[22] "Now draw thy hand close to thy side: it shall come forth white (and shining), without harm (or stain), - as another Sign,
[23] "In order that we may show thee (two) of Our Greater Signs.
Exodus 4:6-8
6 Then the LORD said, "Put your hand inside your cloak." Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was leprous,
like snow.
8 Then the LORD said, "If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first miraculous sign, they may believe the second.
What you are calling this, copy paste or revelation?!!
Posted by freshsoda (Member # 13226) on 01 September, 2007 04:49 AM :
Another example from the copy paste of Quran from the Bible which was called revelation to the naï¿½ve illiterates
Dialouge between Zechariah and the angel
Quran Sura 3- Bible Luke 1
1- Quran[39]
the angels called unto him: "Allah doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya(John), witnessing the truth of a Word from Allah, and (be
besides) noble, chaste, and a Prophet, - of the (goodly) company of the righteous."
Luke 13 But the angel said to him: "you are to give him the name John. 14He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice
because of his birth, 15for he will be great in the sight of the Lord.
2- Quran [40]
He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, seeing I am very old, and my wife is barren?"
Luke 18 Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."
3- Quran[41]
"Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three days but with signals.
Luke 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak
The amazing thing that birth of Jesus story in Luke is directly after the dialogue above and also directly in Quran in
same sequence
4- Quran [45]
Behold! the angels said: "O Maryam! Allah giveth Thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Al-Masih 'Isa. The son of
Maryam, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;
Luke 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31You will be with child and give birth to
a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
5- Quran[47]
She said: "O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?"
Luke 34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
O intelligents "what do you think copy paste or revelation" ?!!

why God was always using "we" in Quran referring to himself shouldn't use "I" ? who was the heedless?How Gabrieal was revealing
