SUBHANALLAH! ILMUWAN MASUK ISLAM, PROFESOR KEITH L. MOORE, KARENA ILMU EMBRIOLOGI DALAM ALQUR'AN

Summary

This video script explores the story of a Western scientist, Professor Getel North, who converted to Islam after being amazed by the scientific accuracy in the Quran. As an expert in human anatomy and embryology, he discovered that Quranic descriptions of human creation, written in the 7th century, closely aligned with modern scientific findings. The professor was particularly struck by the similarity between the description of embryos and leeches, a fact not known in Muhammad's time. This led him to conclude that the Quran could not have been authored by Muhammad, ultimately embracing Islam and revising his own scientific work based on Quranic teachings.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Quran is not only a religious guide but also a source of knowledge in various fields like science, human creation, and the universe.
• 😀 The Quran contains information about the creation of humans and the universe that predates modern scientific discoveries.
• 😀 A Western scientist, Professor Dr. Getel North, was inspired by the Quran's accuracy and became a Muslim.
• 😀 Professor North was particularly intrigued by Quranic verses related to human embryology, which aligned with his research.
• 😀 The professor was astonished when a student showed him a verse from the Quran that accurately described human embryonic development.
• 😀 The verse in Surah Al-Mu'minun (23:13-14) describes the stages of human development in the womb, including the creation of bones and flesh, which aligns with modern science.
• 😀 The professor initially questioned how Prophet Muhammad could have known this information in the 7th century without modern scientific tools.
• 😀 Upon deeper reflection, the professor realized the description of the embryo as resembling a leech was scientifically accurate, as the embryo at early stages resembles a leech in shape.
• 😀 The professor concluded that such accurate knowledge could not have come from Muhammad alone and must have been divinely revealed.
• 😀 After further research and reflection, Professor North embraced Islam, recognizing the Quran as a divine revelation that perfectly aligned with modern scientific findings.

Q & A

What prompted Professor Getel North to study embryology?

Professor North was deeply fascinated by the process of human development, specifically how a single cell divides and forms a multicellular organism. This scientific curiosity led him to specialize in embryology and make significant contributions to the field.

What is the significance of the book 'Clinically Oriented Anatomy' co-authored by Professor North?

'Clinically Oriented Anatomy' is one of the most popular English-language medical textbooks worldwide. It is widely used as a reference in medical education, specifically in anatomy, and is considered a key resource for students and professionals alike.

What event led Professor North to question the origins of the Quran?

During a trip to Saudi Arabia, Professor North was approached by a group of students who showed him a Quranic verse regarding human creation. The scientific accuracy of the verse, which aligned with modern embryology, deeply impressed him and led him to question how such knowledge could have existed in the 7th century.

What Quranic verse led Professor North to reconsider his beliefs?

The Quranic verse from Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:13-14) describing the stages of human development in the womb caught Professor North's attention. The verse mentions the transformation of sperm into a clot of blood, then into a lump of flesh, and finally into bones, which corresponds to the stages of embryonic development he had studied.

Why did Professor North find the Quranic description of human creation so compelling?

Professor North found the Quranic description of human creation compelling because it mirrored the scientific process of embryology, even though it was revealed centuries before the advent of modern microscopes and scientific knowledge. This accuracy in the 7th-century text led him to believe that it could not have been authored by a human.

What was Professor North's reaction after learning about the Quranic description of human creation?

At first, Professor North was skeptical and amazed, remarking that it was impossible for someone like Prophet Muhammad to know such detailed scientific information without the aid of modern technology. He was particularly struck by the similarity between the Quranic description and what he had discovered in his own research.

How did the students in Saudi Arabia help Professor North understand the Quranic verse?

The students explained to Professor North that the description of human creation in the Quran, particularly the comparison of the early embryo to a leech, was scientifically accurate. They pointed out that the term 'alaq' in Arabic means both a clot of blood and a leech, which matched the appearance of the early embryo.

What role did the Quran play in Professor North's scientific research after his realization?

After his realization, Professor North began to reference the Quran in his scientific research, particularly in embryology. He felt that the Quran provided insights that modern science had only recently uncovered, which led him to revise and deepen his own academic work.

Why did Professor North keep his conversion to Islam private initially?

Professor North initially kept his conversion to Islam private for personal and professional reasons. He was likely concerned about the potential consequences and challenges he might face in the academic community due to his newfound religious beliefs.

What did Professor North share in his public announcement about his conversion to Islam?

In 1990, Professor North publicly revealed his conversion to Islam while teaching at the University of Illinois. He shared how the Quran had reshaped his understanding of science and expressed his belief that the Quran contained ultimate truth, aligning with his years of scientific inquiry.
