May the peace and blessings of Allah be
upon all of you welcome back to the
proof that Islam is the truth and we've
been talking about some of the amazing
miracles of the Quran the scientific
Miracles those facts that can be found
in the Quran that leave us all struck
how could this information be in a book
1,400 years old and we were looking at
those verses in the Quran concerning the
development of the human fetus in the
womb and we also were reading a Hadith
of the Prophet Muhammad May Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him when the
prophet Muhammad mentioned that when 42
nights have passed over the conceptus
Allah sends an angel to it who shapes it
makes its ears and 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 an angel
records it so it is at the 42nd day or
just after the 40th Day that it only
then becomes identifiable and this is a
fact this is a scientific fact um and
it's very interesting it's true also
that the Prophet Muhammad may God's
peace and blessings be upon Him
mentioned that there are some things
that the knowledge of it is only known
to Allah subhah wa ta'ala and one of the
things the prophet mentioned is what is
the
sex of the the child in the womb as one
of the Muslim Scholars pointed out is
that this is only up until the 40th Day
because after the 40th Day according to
this authentic Hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam may God's
peace and blessings be upon him the
Angels know the angel who is in the womb
shaping the conceptor shaping the embryo
asks is it a male or a female and so
from that time of course the angel knows
and if the angel knows as the scholar
pointed out anyone can know
so this is also a truly amazing
statement of scientific accuracy and
this is information that in reality we
have only uh begun to discover recently
we also find that the Hadith mentions
the correct time for the recognizable
growth of the features described and the
sects of the features can only
definitely be determined after 42 days
now this piece of information was only
known after the invention of powerful
microscopes only decades ago
now I've only mentioned this subject of
the developing human being in the Quran
and the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad
briefly there is of course a vast amount
of literature available if you would
like to study this subject more and it's
very easily available on the internet
and indeed Dr Zak Nik has produced a
very nice book uh called uh modern
science in the light of the Quran and
Sunnah so you can get a hold of that
from the Islamic Research Foundation
inshallah if you want to explore that
area more but what I thought I would do
is mention a quote from Keith Moore who
is the professor and chairman of the
Department of anatomy from the
University of Toronto in Canada and
Keith Moore is one of the acknowledged
experts in the field of the developing
human being in its embryonic form and
his book the developing human is and has
been for many years a standard textbook
in universities and colleges all over
the world it's been translated into
numerous different languages and he was
shown some of the statements in the
Quran and the Hadith or sayings of the
Prophet Muhammad uh concerning the
development of the human embryo
and having studied them he came to a
conclusion and this is what he
said until the 19th century nothing was
known about the classification of the
stages of human development a system of
staging human embryos was developed
around the end of the 19th century based
upon alphabetical symbols and during the
20th century numerous were used to
describe 23 stages of embryonic
development this system of numbering the
stages is not easy to follow and a
better system would be based on the
morphological changes in recent years
the study of the Quran has revealed
another basis for the
classification of the stages of
developing embryo which is based on
easily understood actions and Chang es
in shape it utilizes terms that were
used and sent by God to Prophet
Muhammad by the angel Gabriel and
recorded in the Quran and he goes on to
say it is clear to me that these
statements must have come to Muhammad
from God because all all of this
knowledge was not discovered until many
centuries
later this proves to me that Muhammad
must have been a messenger of God or
Allah dear
viewers you need to think about
this here
is one of the experts perhaps the expert
in the field examining the information
that is in the Quran and that has been
mentioned on the tongue of the Prophet
Muhammad and he is saying that not only
is it impossible for this information to
have been known by anyone 1,400 years
ago he also suggests that modern
embryology should follow the system of
development that has been mentioned in
the quranic verses in other words the
Quran has described the development of
the human embryo so beautifully and so
effectively that this should be the
basis upon which scientific
textbooks founded from now on this is
what Keith Moore is saying so this is
really a truly remarkable statement from
a truly remarkable scientist who by the
way has become a Muslim
how did the prophet Muhammad develop
this information from where did a man
living in the desert 1,400 years ago
no from where did he get the knowledge
this is the question that you have to
ask this is the question that you have
to examine the next thing we want to
look at is the water cycle the water
cycle that is the cycle of water where
the sun heats the sea and causes
evaporation and from that evaporation we
have clouds forming and how the winds
move those clouds and from that rain
fools now the Quran accurately describes
the water cycle and the origin of
underground Springs and we're going to
be talking about that after the break so
whatever you do don't go away because we
have some more amazing facts for you in
the proof that Islam is the
[Music]
truth Salam alum welcome back to the
proof that Islam is the truth and we're
going through some of the amazing
scientific statements in the Quran
things that it was impossible for
Prophet Muhammad to have known 1,400
years ago now one of the things we want
to talk about is the water cycle now it
may seem very obvious to us today about
the water cycle and for example the
origin of underground Springs but the
ancient Greeks for example didn't seem
to get it right despite all of their
philosophy and their knowledge and their
they actually theorized that underground
Springs were a product of spray that
came off the sea and collected in caves
and then the spray that came off the sea
and collected in the caves dripped down
into the underground reservoirs through
a Great Sea called the
abyss um in fact it was not until the
18th century that the water cycle was
really accurately described yet the
Quran says
1,400 years ago in the 39th Surah in the
21st Ayah have you not seen that Allah
sent water down from the sky and led it
through sources into the ground this is
a simple but in fact highly accurate
description of the water cycle another
amazing fact that is mentioned in the
Quran we find in the 24th Surah of the
Quran in the 40th verse and and it's
talking about the state of those people
who disbelieve and reject faith in
God the Quran describes the states of
the disbeliever the person who has
rejected Faith Like A
Darkness a darkness that is so dark it
is like the Deep depths of darkness in a
vast deep ocean overwhelmed with wave
upon wave popped by a cloud
if a man stretches out his hand he can
hardly see it for any to whom Allah
gives no light there is no light now on
the
surface here Allah is giving a simple
description a person who does not
believe in God and does not follow the
guidance that Allah has sent down is a
person who is in darkness they are lost
their life is a
confusion in fact their life is so
confusing they can hardly see what is in
front of them this is how Allah is
describing it Darkness upon Darkness
confusion upon confusion he can hardly
see or understand what is happening if
God does not give a person light there
is no light so it is describing a type
of
absence of light of being able to see or
know really what is truly going on and
so this is this is the case that is
described so on the surface we have a
very poetic we have a very a very strong
and vigorous and and amazing description
of this darkness and the state of being
lost yet when we examine it in more
detail there is something else going on
here as well there is a clue to some
scientific truths first of all the Quran
describes a vast deep ocean and it
describes waves upon waves now of course
most of us are familiar with the waves
that are on top of the ocean but what
does it mean waves upon waves are there
other waves in the
ocean well we're going to find out also
the Quran talks about a person being
deprived of light that they can hardly
see now a ray of light is composed of
seven
colors violet indig go blue green yellow
orange and red and light when it hits
water goes through what is called
refraction that means that for example
in the upper 10 to 15 M the water
absorbs the red color and as you go
deeper each of the colors in the
Spectrum become absorbed by the water
until you get to a depth of below about
1,000 m
there is complete
darkness now what is amazing is that we
also find in modern scientific
discoveries that internal waves cover
the Deep Waters of the Seas and oceans
because the Deep Waters have a higher
density than the waters above them so
waves upon waves we have the internal
waves in the deep deep ocean and then we
have the waves on top of the ocean and
then the clouds and so on and so forth
they add to the darkness and the
disparity and the the breaking up and
the refracting of light now what is
interesting is the Deep Darkness
remember the Quran says they stretch out
their hand they can hardly see it this
deep Darkness begins below the internal
waves in the ocean in fact there are
certain fish down at those depths which
need their own lights in order to be
able to see and amazingly Allah has
created these creatures that can
actually generate their own lights now
this is really amazing because of course
until very recently no one has been able
to penetrate and to reach those deep
parts of the ocean it is only with ext
extremely sophisticated modern machinery
and submarines and Diving suits that
someone has been able to go down to that
depth yet we have the Quran
1,400 years ago describing the internal
waves of the oceans and the Darkness
that is there at the depths of the
oceans how on Earth how in the heavens
could a man living in the desert one
1,400 years ago have known about such
detailed information about a science
like oceanography well Professor Ral who
is an expert in Marine Biology at the
King Abdul aiz University in jeda says
1,400 years ago a normal human being
could not explain this phenomenon in so
much detail this information
must have been coming from a
supernatural Source my dear
viewers this even is not the end of the
amazing scientific statements in the
Quran because the next thing I want to
deal with is
cosmology the statements in the Quran
concerning the
universe
now until recently or we could say up
until the 1960s there was a major
controversy between scientists
concerning the state of the universe now
some scientists believed and had begun
to develop the idea that the Universe
was in a state of flux that the Universe
was in fact expanding and from this
theory of the expanding Universe also
came another theory which is common
known today as The Big Bang Theory this
is the idea that the Universe had a
common origin in a singularity
a dense condensed type of matter the
universe was a infinitely small we could
say part of dense matter and this
infinitely small dense matter then
exploded into what is the universe that
we know today now this was opposed by
the static State Theory the static State
Theory and this was very much preferred
theory of atheist that the Universe was
the way it was eternally in the past and
will keep on being that way eternally in
the future uh and this was a theory that
was really largely based at least
initially and was believed in by Albert
Einstein and many people therefore
followed on from that with this idea of
the static State
Theory and so this idea of The Big Bang
Theory which was you know really held by
Fred Hy he was the person who uh
supported this Theory uh and leetra who
was opposing it with the idea of The Big
Bang
Theory now evidence came to light that
showed that VAR ations in the light
spectrum that were being emitted from
galaxies and stars which is called red
shift showed in fact that the universe
is
expanding and it's
amazing that this scientific
fact that has now been
confirmed and it is agreed upon by
almost unanimously all scientists in the
field
that we live in an expanding universe
and the evidence very very clearly and
strongly suggests that what does the
Quran say
1,400 years ago before there were
telescopes and all the means to discover
this information the Quran says in the
51st Surah in the 47th Ayah the heaven
we have have built it with power and we
are expanding it let's just repeat that
again the heaven we have built it with
power and we are expanding it 1,400
years ago the Quran is mentioning how
the universe is
expanding the next most important
observational evidence was the discovery
of cosmic microwave background radiation
in 1964
by a powerful telescope and this had
been predicted in The Big Bang Theory as
a relic of the hot ionized plasma of the
early Universe when it first cooled
sufficiently to form neutral hydrogen
and allowed space to become transparent
to light and it's Discovery led to the
general acceptance among physicists that
the Big Bang is the best model for the
origin and evolution of the universe
what does the Quran say in the 25st
Surah in the 30th Ayah have not those
who disbelieved known that the heavens
and the Earth were joined together as
one United peace then we parted them and
we have made from water every living
thing will they not then believe
the common origin of the universe or the
singularity that scientists believe
today the universe originated from and
which led to the Big Bang it is
considered that the conditions of this
Singularity was so precise it is almost
inconceivable that it could be in that
way except that it has been made by an
all wise and Powerful creator
these are some of the amazing things
that the Quran is telling us about the
origin of our universe the Quran also
mentions that Allah turned to the
heavens when it was Duan and the word
Duan in Arabic means smoke this also
accurately
describes the hot gous mass of the
universe before the galaxies and the
Stars began to be formed
so here we have the Quran 1,400 years
ago talking
about the expanding Universe talking
about the common origin of the universe
that the heavens and the Earth were one
talking about the gaseous State the
smoke likee state of the early Universe
this is in a book 1,400 years old
mentioning facts that scientists have
only begun to discover today and we have
created from every living thing water
it's a fact that every living thing has
its basis in and is fundamentally
composed of water you and me are about
70 to 80% water we are made of about 70
to 80% water a fact that has been
mentioned in the Quran 1,400 years ago
will you not believe will you now not
believe
what will it take to make you realize
and to understand that the Quran is the
truth that Muhammad is the messenger of
God this is more evidence the proof that
Islam is the truth join us for the next
episode when we will be going through
some more amazing facts from the Quran
until
then May the peace and blessings of
Allah and his guidance be with all of
you
