Transcripts

May the peace and blessings and the

mercy of God be upon all of you welcome

back to the next episode of the proof

that Islam is the truth

and today we're going to be talking

about the scientific miracles of the

Quran those statements in the Quran and

the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad the

Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alaihi

wasallam may God's peace and blessings

be upon him

that are truly remarkable that beg the

question how could such information be

in a book 1 400 years old

you see scientific knowledge depends

upon the gradual advancement of

information we can only know a certain

thing in scientific terms when something

has been studied and observed and

examined and of course the ability to

study and observe and examine something

depends largely upon what is available

to us in order to be able to do that so

for example how much can we know about

the stars and cosmology if we don't have

access to powerful

telescopes and different ways of

interpreting and Gathering and then

interpreting data from the universe

around us

how for example can we know about the

Earth the Earth's crust the formation of

the earth without sophisticated

instruments able to measure it how could

we know for example about the details of

human embryonic development without the

sophisticated processes available to us

today in order to be able to acquire

that information

this is something concerning how

scientific knowledge comes to us

what if we were to come across a book an

ancient book

1400 years old

and this book

was going to give us information it was

going to reveal facts

that we have only discovered recently

through our hard earned scientific

method of Investigation

and that now after continued observation

and Gathering of information now we know

yes these are facts these are things

that are true but no one

knew those things 1 400 years ago no one

even had the possibility

of knowing those things 1 400 years ago

then surely this begs the question where

could such information come from where

could a book so ancient

have received such knowledge that is so

modern

this is the question we are going to be

exploring in the next few episodes of

the proof that Islam is the truth and

what we want to remember is that the

Quran is a miracle for all times it was

not only a miracle for the Arabs living

in Arabia 1 400 years old for them the

language of the Quran

its structure its Rhythm its whole

meaning

was a miracle for them they would hear

the Quran as we've shown and they would

Embrace Islam it was enough for them

they knew that no human being could

produce a work like this we are not

Arabs

we may hear the Quran we may find it

beautiful we may not find it beautiful

so the linguistic Miracle of the Quran

the miracle of the quran's language

it doesn't mean that much to us

but we do believe that the Quran is a

miracle for all times it is just as much

miraculous for you today

as it was for those people living 1400

years ago but the way it is Miracle the

aspect in which it is miraculous is

obviously gonna change because the

things that we consider to be important

today are not necessarily the things

that the Arabs considered to be

important 1 400 years ago and just as

poetry and language

was what the Arabs living in the time of

the Prophet Muhammad were so proud of

they were so proud of their linguistic

abilities today I think we could safely

agree that it is scientific knowledge

that we are proud of we are so proud of

the ability and the achievements of

Science in fact many people will hold up

the achievements of science as one of

the defining characteristics of the

superiority of Western Civilization

in fact there is no doubt that the

achievements of science have by and

large in recent times been a product of

Western civilization and there's no

doubt for that reason that many people

today are in awe of the West and the

power and the ability of the West

we study

in universities based upon the patterns

of Western institutions English is the

lingua Franca the international language

that is spoken all over the world and in

which many different studies are

performed

and all this is really connected with

science and the advancement in science

and technology so the Quran is a miracle

to the scientists the Quran is a miracle

to the people of the 20th and the 21st

century just wore as it was a miracle to

those people living in the desert 1 400

years ago

now what we plan to do over the next few

episodes is to introduce to you some of

the statements and explain some of the

statements in the Quran that are of a

scientific nature and that have proven

to be in accordance with modern

scientific knowledge now before we go

into it I do want to mention a very

important matter and that matter is that

the Quran is not a scientific textbook

the Quran is a book of guidance

in the Quran Allah says

this is the book without doubts in it is

guidance for the pious people so the

Quran is fundamentally essentially

before anything else it is a book of

guidance it is a book that teaches us

who is Allah who is the creator

that there is only one God that is

worthy of worship

it tells us also that Muhammad may God's

peace and blessings be upon Him is the

messenger of God

it teaches us morals

what is right and what is wrong

how we should behave with each other

how we should behave the world around us

it teaches us the stories of those Pious

people who have come before us so that

their lives and their examples could be

an encouragement for us

so that we could further better

ourselves and the Quran also warns us of

those people who have disobeyed God

who have sinned against God who have

transgressed the limits that God has

laid down and the Quran warns us

and tells us about the Fate

of what has happened to those people

the Quran is a book of law

it teaches us the laws through which and

by which we should govern ourselves

according to the wisdom and the

knowledge of the Mighty the wise

Allah

so the Quran is not a book of science

but

without doubts

We Believe

we know

that it is from Allah the creator of the

heavens and the Earth

and therefore it is not unreasonable to

expect

that the information that is contained

in the Quran

should reflect the perfect and absolute

wisdom and knowledge that is from God we

should expect of course that a book that

is from God to be consistent

with the reality of the universe around

us since God is the creator of the

universe and God is the creator of all

things and God is the one who knows

everything surely a book that is from

God should be consistent with what we

can observe to be facts now importantly

we are talking here about facts and so

what I have tried to confine myself to

are those aspects

that are very clear and that are very

obvious and that are not ambiguous we're

not talking here about so much

scientific theory although of course in

a philosophical sense

every statement in science is a theory

everything is a theory it's only in the

eyes of scientists

a theory that is very very strongly

proven with very very strong evidence as

opposed to a theory that may have

very little evidence or perhaps even no

evidence at all and so scientists put

their faith as you could say they put

their faith in those theories which

simply offer the best explanation and

have the strongest degree of evidence

however we have really only tried to

select

those statements from the Quran that are

supported by the strongest degree of

scientific evidence

and again we only say this because the

Quran is not a scientific textbook it's

not a book of science it's a book of

guidance but we should expect that it

does not contradict the reality of the

world around us

so I have chosen some of those

statements in the Quran

that have also amazed and fascinated me

personally and I remember that when I

first read the Quran for myself

one of the things that astounded me

about the Quran

was that it lacked the fables and the

fairy tales and the type of fantastic

statements that you would expect from a

book

that was revealed 1400 years ago in fact

what I discovered

is that its statements were truly

amazing

some of the amazing findings that we

find in the Quran that agree with

present scientific observations

amongst most or amongst one of the most

remarkable of them

are without doubt the statements in the

Quran dealing with the developments of

the human fetus now it's interesting as

a comparison

to see what was the state of knowledge

at the time of the Prophet Muhammad may

God's peace and blessings be upon him

because you would expect a work that has

been made by human beings to reflect the

ideas and the concepts that were

prevalent at the time

if Muhammad may God's peace and

blessings be upon him had invented the

Quran had authored the Quran himself

most certainly he would have picked up

the ideas that normal amongst the Arabs

and the Greeks and the Romans and the

Egyptians and so on and so forth so one

of the prevalent theories was of course

the aristotlean theory and Aristotle was

one of the people one of the first

people to really begin to make

scientific investigations

and theories as to the origin of human

life when I say one of the first people

certainly in the western world he was

one of the first people

and also he's one of the people whose

statements have been recorded and

preserved for posterity there may of

course have been others but his theory

was very very common and his idea was

that the male sperm acted as rennet in

cheese to congeal the female menstrual

blood and from the congealing of the

female menstrual blood the human embryo

was formed now he based this upon his

observation that when women became

pregnant

their monthly periods ceased and so he

theorized that therefore something must

happen to that

monthly period and what happened to it

was that it congealed in order to form a

human life

now of course we realize

at this time that such a theory is

completely false

even as late as the 18th century a man

called heartsolker

claimed to have seen

through a primitive microscope various

sperms of different animals

and so looking through this primitive

microscope he claimed that he could see

inside the actual sperm a pre-formed

human being a little child crouched up

similarly he claimed that in the giraffe

sperm for example he could see a long

neck and in the rabbit's sperm there was

a big ears and stuff like that

and this was known as the preformation

theory of course again today we know

that that is false and it's an example

of course of those type of theories that

sometimes float around in science that

later show to be fools and even quite

laughable and that's the case with both

Aristotle and the ideas that were

prevalent in the 18th century and it's

not really until the 19th century that

we began to develop an accurate

description of the stages of human

embryonic developments now what we want

to examine is what does the Quran say

if the Quran was a forgery if the Quran

was invented and written by Prophet

Muhammad as people claim then surely it

would reflect the ignorant beliefs of

the time

however it does not let us read the 23rd

chapter of the Quran

verses 12 to 16. the meaning of it is

this

we created man from a quintessence of

clay this by the way is referring to the

creation of Adam

Muslims believe that God created Adam

miraculously not like the rest of the

creation he took clay Allah took clay

from different places in the earth and

he formed from this clay the shape of a

man

and he gave life to this form and thus

Adam was created and from the rib of

Adam Eve was created so this is what

Muslims believe and so when Allah says

we created man from a quintessence of

clay this is talking about the creation

of Adam

but the Quran goes on to say we placed

him as a drop and the word in Arabic is

not far not for means a drop in a place

of rest firmly fixed

then we made the drop into an Allah

and I will tell you what these words

mean in a moment so first we praised him

as a not far then we made the drop into

an alak and then we changed the alak

into a Madura and then we made out of

that mudra

bones and then we close the bones with

flesh then we caused him to grow and

come into being and attain definitive

form

so Allah is mentioning the stages

okay so this is the stages and then we

begin to look like human beings and

Allah goes on to say Blessed Be Allah

the perfect creator

after that you will die again on the day

of judgment you will be raised up it's

very important my dear listeners

that Allah at the same time as he is

mentioning these amazing and astounding

facts

that science has only discovered

recently immediately afterwards Allah is

reminding us

that you will die

and you will be raised up on the day of

judgment just as Allah created you in

stages

from a thing that clings

and from laham from all of these things

Allah most certainly will create you

again on the day of judgment

now the prophet salallahu alaihi

wasallam means a small drop that is

omitted

and the prophet salallahu alaihi

wasallam referred to this as both

belonging to the male and the female in

fact he mentioned that these nuts are

mixed in the creation this is what he

mentioned in on authentic Hadith that

not for the the drop from the man which

is the semen and the from the woman

which is of course the ovum they're

they're not further small drops they are

mixed so this is very important because

the prophet is mentioning that the human

being comes from both the man and from

the woman this already goes against the

theories that were prevalent at the time

secondly the word alak in Arabic what

does it mean it has three meanings a

thing that clings a blood clot and a

leech-like object in fact all of these

things accurately describe the first

stage of human embryonic development

after the fertilization of the egg our

blastocyst develops which has on its

exterior velocytes which literally cling

to the wall of the uterus so they're

little that's rather like velcro they

cling to the inside of the uterus in the

womb this is what happens to this thing

that clings and then it goes on to

resemble exactly a leech-like object the

similarity is absolutely remarkable not

only in appearance but also in Behavior

because a leech also takes blood from

its host similarly the alak stage also

takes nutrition and blood from inside

the mother

so this is it goes on and it also

resembles at a later stage after that a

blood clot so this is the first thing

the word alak describes exactly the

first state of human embryolic

development this is not something that

could have been known

1400 years ago it is impossible because

this stage of human embryonic

development is something that only can

be observed with powerful microscopes

yet

description is accurately mentioned in

the Quran

1400 years ago so it mentions then from

the alac stage

it becomes a mudra a mudra means like a

chewed piece of Flesh

and this is exactly what it likes the

prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

wasallam the Quran also said partly

formed and unformed so it has bits that

are slightly formed bits that are not

and if again you look at this stage it

looks exactly like a piece of meat that

has been chewed then the amazing thing

is that the bones precede the

development of the flesh the bones come

and then on the bones the flesh grow

although the the time between the

growing of the bones and the flesh is

very very close and it's very

interesting that the word that is used

the term that is used in Arabic the word

is indicates speed one thing following

another very very closely even the

structure of the words in Arabic are

consistent with the development of the

human embryo and then the prophet

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said

when 42 nights have passed over the

conceptus Allah sends an angel to to it

who shapes it and makes its ears and its

eyes and skin and Flesh and Bones and

then he says oh Lord is it a male or a

female and your lord decides what he

wishes and then the angel records it it

is also true that you cannot determine

the sex of the fetus until just after 42

nights how did this information come to

a man living in the desert 1 400 years

ago

most certainly this is the evidence that

the Quran is from Allah and the Muhammad

is his messenger join us for the next

episode of the proof that Islam is the

truth and until then
