9 Scientific Facts in The QURAN (Muslim Holy Book)

9 Scientific Facts in The QURAN (Muslim Holy Book)

The holy Quran is believed to be first revealed in 609 C.E. to the Prophet. Despite it appearing in a time when science held little value, one can find severalΒ scientific facts in Quran, the holy book of the Muslims. The contents of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the arch angel Jibreel over 23 years.Β According to the spiritual guides, the Prophet’s companions later acted as scribes and recorded these words. This spiritual scripture is the central religious text of Islam and a source of guidance for mankind.

1. The Big Bang Theory

1. The Big Bang Theory

The holy book of Quran that came into existence centuries before the uncovering of the Big Bang theory details this idea. The text states thatΒ β€œdo not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (Ratqan), then we opened them out?” (Quran 21:31). The word Ratqan used in the text hints at darkness and closed up mass. This is exactly how the universe must have looked before the big bang happened.

2. The Big Crunch Theory

2. The Big Crunch Theory

The Big Crunch theory that predicts how the universe will end is yet another scientific thing the Quran details.

The holy Quran mentions this incident in passage 21:105 where it reads,Β β€œRemember the day when we shall roll up the heavens like the rolling up of written scrolls by a scribe.” The description provided in the Islamic scripture resembles the scenario confirmed by several physicists around the world.

3. Oceanic Division

3. Oceanic Division

The meeting of two oceans is termed as conflux. When two seas meet, their waters retain individual properties like temperature, colour, and density. At a point of conflux, one can see two different water bodies running side by side. Even though this discovery is recent, the holy Quran informed the readers about this phenomenon in its 55:19-20 passage. The scientific fact in Quran is stated asΒ β€œhe released the two seas, meeting [side by side], between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.”

4. Embryology

4. Embryology

Embryology is a branch of biology concerned with the study of fertilisation and embryo development. The central religious text, at one point, talks about embryology and states a significant scientific fact in Quran. It says,Β β€œWe created man from an extract of clay. Then we made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then we made the drop into an Alaqah (blood clot), then we made the Alaqah into a Mudghah…” (Quran 23:12-14).

5. Iron Within Meteorites

5. Iron Within Meteorites

According to M.E. Walrath, iron is not an element that was naturally present on Earth. Studies suggest that a billion years ago, a meteorite struck Earth. This meteorite had iron on it, and when it exploded after coming in contact with our planet, Earth got iron. This scientific fact in Quran is stated in passage 57:25 asΒ β€œwe sent down iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind”.

6. Formation Of Clouds

6. Formation Of Clouds

The book says,Β β€œHave you not seen how Allah makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a stack, and then you see the rain come out of it?”

This is an accurate description of what actually happens. In reality, the small clouds are pushed by the winds (moved gently) and the ones that are near each other amalgamate. At this point, a vertical updraft happens and the upper part of the cloud expands up in the sky. As a result, different parts of the cloud are raised to divergent points and look as if many clouds are piled on top of each other (stacking).

7. Pain Receptors

7. Pain Receptors

For a long time, it was believed that the sense of feeling and pain is because of the brain. But, a scientific study recently found out that our skin features pain receptors due to which we feel pain and agony. Surprisingly, the holy text of the Quran hinted at this occurrence a long time ago. It states,Β β€œWe shall send those who reject our revelations to the (hell) fire. When their skins have been burned away, we shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain.” This passage clearly suggests that we feel pain because of our skin.

8. Internal Waves In The Ocean

8. Internal Waves In The Ocean

Oceanographers while studying water bodies discovered that the belief of waves only occurring on the surface of the ocean is wrong. In reality, the waves are present internally underneath the surface of the water and are created when the lower part of the oceanic body faces an obstacle. This barrier creates a disturbance in the water body and leads to oscillation.

The central religious text of Islam that details several secrets and facts about the depth of oceans also talks about this phenomenon, it says thatΒ β€œit is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds.”

9. The Frontal Lobe

9. The Frontal Lobe

In the Quran, there is a story of a man named Abu Jahl, an oppressive leader. To warn him, Allah said,Β β€œNo indeed! if he does not stop, we will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead.” Now, according to the followers of Islam, there is a deeper meaning behind this statement.

Modern research into anatomy suggests that the prefrontal area of the human brain deals with planning, aggression, and motivation. So, it's basically the part of our brain which is responsible for lying. Muslims believe that the mention of the forehead is specific and intentional.

Notably, the holy text of the Quran, written many centuries ago, hints at several discoveries ahead of their time. Many scientific facts in Quran are mentioned that could not have been known by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who was born in the 7th century C.E. and did not know how to read or write. This indeed is proof of the divinity of the central text of Islam. Just mindblowing!
