This presentation shows the clear evidences,discoveries and proves that the science made over the period of time in Quran. The Things that the Science is telling is telling us today is already present in Quran over 1400 years ago.
1. In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful
“ Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet, Man has always sought
to understand Nature, his own place in the scheme of Creation and the
purpose of Life itself. In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and
diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and
determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions
have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely
inspired, others have relied solely on human experience”.

4. SCIENTIFIC FACTS IN THE QURAN
“ The Quran was revealed to Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) in the 7thcentury. 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 back drop
the Quran was revealed, and it contains many
scientific facts on topics ranging from
astronomy through to biology”.
5. “ In the creation of
the heavens and the
Earth, and the
alternation of night
and day, there are
signs for people with
intelligence”.
[Quran 3:190]
7. Embryology (from Greek ἔ
μβρυον, embryon, "the
unborn, embryo"; and -
λογία, -logia) is the branch
of biology that deals with
the development of
an embryo from
the fertilization of
the ovum to the fetus stage.

11. "It has been a great pleasure for me to help
clarify statements in the Qur'an about human
development. It is clear to me that these
statements must have come to Muhammad
from God, or Allah, because most 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."
A Statement by Dr. Keith Moore presented at
a conference in Cario.
14. Sir Isaac Newton, regarded as one of the greatest scientists ever,
investigated this feature of the earth and and made one of the
greatest scientific discoveries of all time by speaking of gravity in his
book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (The
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in
1687.

where:
F is the force between the masses,
G is the gravitational constant,
m1 is the first mass,
m2 is the second mass, and
r is the distance between the centers
of the masses.

16. QURAN ABOUT GRAVITY
The Arabic word “kifatan,” translated
as “receptacle” in the above verse,
means “living things being gathered
together and protected in their
dwellings, places where living or
inanimate things are gathered
together, on which things are piled,
place where things are collected.”
“Kifatan” comes from root word
“kafata,” which means “to collect,
gather toward one, close embrace.”
18. Astronomy is a natural
science which is the study
of celestial objects (such as stars,
galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids,
comets and nebulae),
the physics, chemistry,
and evolution of such objects, and
phenomena that originate outside
the atmosphere of Earth,
including supernovae
explosions, gamma ray bursts, and
cosmic microwave background
radiation.
19. THE BIG BANG THEORY
Most cosmologists today have accepted the Big Bang Theory in describing
the origin of the universe.
This theory states that the universe began at a single hot, dense point, or
'singularity'.
Out of this point developed what is often referred to as 'cosmic soup', a
constant interchange between matter and energy with no separation between
stars and planets or the heavens and the Earth as we recognise them.

21. BIG BANG ACCORDING TO
QUR’AN
The Noble Quran appears to be consistent with this theory, Allah
Says (what means): "Have those who disbelieved not considered that
the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated
them..." [Quran 21:30]
23. RELATIVITY IN THE
QUR’AN
Allah... it is Who encompasses the whole Time and Space
Verily a Day in the sight of your Lord is like a thousand years of your
reckoning --(Surat al-Hajj, 47)
24. THE SPHERICAL SHAPE
OF THE EARTH
“Seest thou not that Allah merges Night into Day And He
merges Day into Night?”
Merging here means that the night slowly and gradually changes
to day and vice versa. This phenomenon can only take place if the
earth is spherical. If the earth was flat, there would have been a
sudden change from night to day and from day to night.
26. “We have brought them a book which We have detailed with great
knowledge, guidance and mercy to the people who believe”
[Al-Quran: Chapter 7 verse 52]
Science without religion is lame
[Albert Einstein]
27. FINGER PRINTS
Quran says:-
“Does man think that We Cannot assemble his bones? Nay, We are
able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers.”
[Al-Quran 75:3-4]
28. What science tell us?
In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific
method of identification, after research done by
Sir Francis Golt. He told that no two persons in
the world can have same finger prints.Later this
study was used by police forces to catch the
criminals.
29. PAIN RECEPTORS IN SKIN
Holy Quran says:-
“Those who reject Our signs, We shall soon Cast into the Fire; As
often as their skins Are roasted through, We shall change them For
fresh skins, That they may taste The Penalty: for Allah Is Exalted in
Power, Wise.”
[Al- Qur’aan 4:56]
30. What does science say?
Prof. Tagatat Tejasen, Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, has spent a
great amount of time on research of pain receptors. Later he
found that pain we feel is due to pain receptors on our skin.
Later on he was so impressed by
Scientific acuuracy of Quran
that he proclaimed in public:-
“There is no God but Allah
and Muhammad (PBUH) is
His messenger”
31. CONCLUSION
These are just some of the many scientific facts found in the Quran. It
is important to note that the Quran is not a book of science, but that it
is consistent with science.
WE SHALL SHOW THEM OUR SIGNS IN THE UNIVERSE AND WITHIN
THEMSELVES,UNTIL IT BECOMES CLEAR TO THEM THAT THIS IS THE
TRUTH. IS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT YOUR
LORD IS THE WITNESS OF ALL THINGS?
[QURAN 41:53]
