Islam and Evidence

It is He Who has created hearing, sight and minds for you. What little thanks you show! (Qur'an, 23:78). The above verse refers to a number of senses given to human beings by Allah. These are always referred in a specific order in the Qur'an: hearing, sight, feeling and understanding. https://islamic-audio-book.com/miracles-of-the-quran-page/

Information on the development in the mother's womb became available only after observations with modern devices. Yet, just like many other scientific facts, in a miraculous way, Allah draws our attention to these items of information in the verses of the Qur'an. The fact that such detailed and accurate information was given in the Qur'an at a time when people had scarce information on medical matters is clear evidence that the Qur'an is the word of Allah. https://islamic-audio-book.com/miracles-of-the-quran-page/

Does man reckon he will be left uncontrolled [without purpose]? Was he not once a drop of ejected semen? (Qur'an, 75:36-37)

The Quran informs us that man is made not from the entire semen, but only a small part of it. That the particular emphasis in this verse announces a fact only discovered by modern science is evidence that the Quran is the word of Allah. https://islamic-audio-book.com/miracles-of-the-quran-page/

We placed firmly embedded mountains on the Earth, so it would not move under them… (Qur’an, 21:31). The verse states that mountains perform the function of preventing shocks in the Earth. This fact was not known by anyone at the time the Quran was revealed. It was, in fact, brought to light only recently, as a result of the findings of modern geological research. https://islamic-audio-book.com/26-mountains-role/

In the Quran, which was revealed in the 7th century, the roundness of the world was hinted at. https://islamic-audio-book.com/16-the-spherical-earth/

While it is stated in the Qur'an that it is easy for Allah to bring man back to life after death, peoples' fingerprints are particularly emphasized:

Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. (Quran, 75:4).

What is important is that this feature of fingerprints was only discovered in the late 19th century. Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning. However in the Quran, Allah points to the fingertips, which did not attract anyone's attention at that time, and calls our attention to their importance. This importance has only been fully understood in our day. https://islamic-audio-book.com/miracles-of-the-quran-page/

The first human being was created by Allah shaping clay into human form and breathing a soul into it:

Your Lord said to the angels, "I am going to create a human being out of clay. When I have formed him and breathed My Spirit into him, fall down in prostration to him!" (Qur'an, 38:71-72)

Then inquire of them: Is it they who are stronger in structure or other things We have created? We created them from sticky clay. (Qur'an, 37:11)

We created man from an extract of clay. (Qur'an, 23:12)

The information revealed in the Quran 1,400 years ago confirms what modern science tells us-the fact that the same elements are employed in human creation as those found in the soil.

In the Quran, which was revealed fourteen centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described in the following terms:

And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur’an, 51:47)

This fact was explained in the Qur’an in a time when telescopes and similar technological advancements were not even close to being invented. This is because the Qur’an is the word of Allah: the Creator and Ruler of the entire universe.

The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse: He created the heavens and the Earth from nothing. (Qur'an, 6:101).

This information is in full agreement with the findings of contemporary scientists. As we stated earlier, the conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred a long time ago. This event, known as "The Big Bang," is the catalyst for the creation of the universe from nothingness. This explosion, all parties in the scientific community agree, emanated from a single point some 15 billion years ago. https://islamic-audio-book.com/the-formation-of-the-universe/

Allah revealed the Quran 14 centuries ago as the sole guide for humanity, containing perfect literary language, wisdom, and many scientific truths. The Qur'an contains facts that could not have been known at the time of its revelation. In the 7th century, when it was sent down, Arab society was awash with superstitious and groundless notions, but the Qur'an replaced ignorance with knowledge and illogical conjecture with guidance and certainty. Its verses contain key facts about the creation of the universe, the development of the human being, the structure of the atmosphere and more, proving that the Qur'an is the word of Allah.
