   The following are some comments of scientists[1]  on the scientific miracles in the Holy Quran. 

1)
    Dr. T. V. N. Persaud is Professor of Anatomy, Professor of 
Pediatrics and Child Health, and Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, 
and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, 
Manitoba, Canada.  There, he was the Chairman of the Department of 
Anatomy for 16 years.  He is well-known in his field.  He is the author 
or editor of 22 textbooks and has published over 181 scientific papers. 
 In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the 
field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian 
Association of Anatomists.  When he was asked about the scientific 
miracles in the Quran which he has researched, he stated the following:

�The
 way it was explained to me is that Muhammad was a very ordinary man.  
He could not read, didn�t know [how] to write. In fact, he was an 
illiterate.  And we�re talking about twelve [actually about fourteen] 
hundred years ago.  You have someone illiterate making profound 
pronouncements and statements and that are amazingly accurate about 
scientific nature.  And I personally can�t see how this could be a mere 
chance.  There are too many accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, I have no 
difficulty in my mind that this is a divine inspiration or revelation 
which led him to these statements.� 

Professor Persaud has 
included some Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, may 
the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, in some of his books.  He 
has also presented these verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad at 
several conferences.

2)    Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman 
of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics 
and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the 
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.  Formerly, he was 
Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the 
University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.  He was also the 
President of the American Fertility Society.  He has received many 
awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and 
Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992.  Professor Simpson studied 
the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad:

�In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother�s womb by forty days...�[2]

�If
 forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it,
 who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and 
bones....�[3]

He studied these two sayings of the Prophet 
Muhammad extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a 
clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis.  He was particularly 
impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the
 Prophet Muhammad.  Then, during one conference, he gave the following 
opinion:

�So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet 
Muhammad) that have been noted provide us with a specific time table for
 the main embryological development before forty days.  Again, the point
 has been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this morning: 
these hadeeths could not have been obtained on the basis of the 
scientific knowledge that was available [at] the time of their writing .
 . . . It follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict between 
genetics and religion but, in fact, religion can guide science by adding
 revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches, that there
 exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid, which 
support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God.� 

3)
    Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and 
Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania, USA.  There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy, the
 Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the Daniel 
Baugh Institute.  He was also the President of the Teratology Society.  
He has authored more than 200 publications.  In 1981, during the Seventh
 Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Johnson said in 
the presentation of his research paper:

�Summary: The Quran 
describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also
 the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and 
development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary 
science.�

Also he said: �As a scientist, I can only deal with 
things which I can specifically see.  I can understand embryology and 
developmental biology.  I can understand the words that are translated 
to me from the Quran.  As I gave the example before, if I were to 
transpose myself into that era, knowing what I knew today and describing
 things, I could not describe the things which were described.  I see no
 evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this individual, 
Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place.  So I 
see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention 
was involved in what he was able to write.

4)    Dr. William 
W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist.  He is Professor of Geological 
Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA.  He was 
formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric 
Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA.  After a 
discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran�s mention of recently 
discovered facts on seas, he said:

�I find it very interesting 
that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy 
Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I 
think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work
 is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages.�  And 
when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: �Well, I 
would think it must be the divine being.�

5)    Dr. Gerald C.
 Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor of Medical 
Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, 
Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA.  During the Eighth Saudi 
Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Goeringer stated 
the following in the presentation of his research paper:

�In a 
relatively few aayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather 
comprehensive description of human development from the time of 
commingling of the gametes through organogenesis.  No such distinct and 
complete record of human development, such as classification, 
terminology, and description, existed previously.  In most, if not all, 
instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of
 the various stages of human embryonic and fetal development recorded in
 the traditional scientific literature.�

6)    Dr. Yoshihide 
Kozai is Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan, 
and was the Director of the National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, 
Tokyo, Japan.  He said:

�I am very much impressed by finding true
 astronomical facts in [the] Quran, and for us the modern astronomers 
have been studying very small pieces of the universe.  We�ve 
concentrated our efforts for understanding of [a] very small part.  
Because by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts [of] the sky
 without thinking [about the] whole universe.  So, by reading [the] 
Quran and by answering to the questions, I think I can find my future 
way for investigation of the universe.�  

7)    Professor 
Tejatat Tejasen is the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang 
Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Previously, he was the Dean of 
the Faculty of Medicine at the same university.  During the Eighth Saudi
 Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Tejasen stood up 
and said:

�During the last three years, I became interested in 
the Quran . . . . From my study and what I have learned from this 
conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the 
Quran fourteen hundred years ago must be the truth, that can be proved 
by the scientific means.  Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read 
nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth, which 
was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the one who is eligible [as 
the] creator. 

 This creator must be God.  Therefore, I think 
this is the time to say La ilaha illa Allah, there is no god to worship 
except Allah (God), Muhammadur rasoolu Allah, Muhammad is Messenger 
(Prophet) of Allah (God).  Lastly, I must congratulate for the excellent
 and highly successful arrangement for this conference . . . . I have 
gained not only from the scientific point of view and religious point of
 view but also the great chance of meeting many well-known scientists 
and making many new friends among the participants.  The most precious 
thing of all that I have gained by coming to this place is La ilaha illa
 Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah, and to have become a Muslim.�  

After
 all these examples we have seen about the scientific miracles in the 
Holy Quran and all these scientists� comments on this, let us ask 
ourselves these questions:

�        Could it be a coincidence 
that all this recently discovered scientific information from different 
fields was mentioned in the Quran, which was revealed fourteen centuries
 ago?

�        Could this Quran have been authored by Muhammad, 
may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, or by any other human 
being?

The only possible answer is that this Quran must be the literal word of God, revealed by Him.

	Pain Receptors For a long time it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent on the brain. However it has been discovered that there are pain receptors present in the skin[. Without these pain receptors, a person would not be able to feel pain. Consider the following verse on pain: �We 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: God is Almighty, All-Wise.� (Quran 4:56) God tells the people who reject his message that when they are in Hell and their skins are burnt off (so they can�t feel any pain), he will give them new skins so that they continue to feel the pain. The Quran makes it clear that pain is dependent upon on the skin. The discovery of pain receptors in the skin is a fairly recent discovery for Biology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjKffO9607I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25rLezuvzNE

	Ever since the dawn of mankind, we have sought to understand nature and our place in it. In this quest for the purpose of life many people have turned to religion. Most religions are based on books claimed by their followers to be divinely inspired, without any proof. Islam is different because it is based upon reason and proof. There are clear signs that the book of Islam, the Quran, is the word of God and we have many reasons to support this claim: � There are scientific and historical facts found in the Quran which were unknown to the people at the time, and have only been discovered recently by contemporary science. � The Quran is in a unique style of language that cannot be replicated, this is known as the �Inimitability of the Quran.� � There are prophecies made in the Quran and by the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, which have come to be pass. the scientific facts that are found in the Quran, centuries before they were �discovered� in contemporary science. It is important to note that the Quran is not a book of science but a book of �signs�. These signs are there for people to recognise God�s existence and affirm His revelation. As we know, science sometimes takes a �U-turn� where what once scientifically correct is false a few years later. In this article only established scientific facts are considered, not just theories or hypothesis. Scientific Facts in the Quran The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century. Science at the time was primitive, there were no telescopes, microscopes or anything even close to the technology we have today. People believed that the sun orbited the earth and that the sky was held up by big pillars at the corners of a flat earth. Within this backdrop the Quran was revealed, and it contains many scientific facts on topics ranging from astronomy to biology, geology to sociology. Some people may claim that the Quran was changed as new scientific facts were discovered but this cannot be the case because it is a historically documented fact that the Quran is preserved in its original language[1]. The Quran was written down and memorised by people during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad. One of the copies of the Quran which was written a few years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad is preserved in a museum in Uzbekistan. This copy is over 1400 years old and is exactly the same as the Arabic Quran that we have today[2]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crkq8HVvdm8

	There was a cruel oppressive tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. God revealed a verse of the Quran to warn him: �No Indeed! If he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead.� (Quran 96:15-16) God does not call this person a liar, but calls his forehead (the front part of the brain) �lying� and �sinful�, and warns him to stop. This verse is significant for two reasons. The first is that the front part of our brain is responsible for voluntary movement This is known as the frontal lobe. A book titled �Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology� which includes the results of research on the functions of this area states: The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. The part of the brain that is responsible for movement is said to be seized if the man does not stop. Secondly, numerous studies have shown that this same region (frontal lobe) is responsible for the lying function of the brain. One such study at the University of Pennsylvania in which volunteers were asked questions during a computerized interrogation, it was found that when the volunteers were lying there was significantly increased activity in the prefrontal and premotor cortices (frontal lobe region) The front part of the brain is responsible for movement and lying. The Quran links movement and lying to this area. These functions of the frontal lobe were discovered with medical imaging equipment which was developed in the 20th century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK9sQHJFAtM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJX5XKhd8xo

	The Ocean The Quran uses imagery to covey its deep meanings, here it describes the state of the unbelievers as: �Darkness out in a deep ocean which is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. Those God gives no light to, they have no light.� (Quran 24:40) It is commonly thought that waves only occur on the surface of the ocean. However oceanographers have discovered that there are internal waves that take place below the surface of the ocean. These waves are invisible to the human eye, and can only be detected by specialist equipment[8]. The Quran mentions darkness in a deep ocean above which are waves, above which are waves, then clouds above that. This description is not only remarkable because it describes the internal waves in the ocean, but also because it describes darkness deep in the ocean. A human being can dive no more than 70 metres without breathing equipment. Light is present at that depth, but if we go down 1000 metres it is completely dark[9]. 1400 years ago there were no submarines or specialist equipment to discover internal waves or the darkness deep inside the oceans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtqHtZgoEwU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP_BDAosVMY

	Sun�s Orbit In 1512 the astronomer Nicholas Copernicus put forward his theory that the Sun is motionless at the centre of the solar system, and that the planets revolve around it. The belief that the Sun is stationary was widespread amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is now a well-established scientific fact that the Sun is not stationary, but is moving in an orbit around the centre of our Milky Way galaxy The Quran mentions the orbit of the Sun: �It is He who created night and day, the Sun and the Moon, each floating in its orbit.� (Quran 21:33) The Quran would have been wrong according to astronomers just a couple of decades ago. But we now know that the Quranic account of the Sun�s motion is consistent with modern Astronomy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SqO-SxtBUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpZbZDdfBCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9FsxnrsDIQ

	the Universe At a time when the science of Astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described in Quran: �And it is We who have built the Universe with [Our creative] power and keep expanding it.� (Quran 51:47) The fact that the universe is expanding was discovered in the last century. The physicist Stephen Hawking in his book �A Brief History of Time� writes, �The discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the great intellectual revolutions of the 20th century.�. The Quran mentioned the expansion of the universe even before the invention of the telescope! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qPim5Z1UMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiFQvzGkHzQ
