What about the scientific miracles of Quraan?

Answer 1

As the Qur'an is a religious and theological tract, it does not concern itself with issues of science. However, in the past 40 years a campaign by some Muslim circles has propagated the claim that the Quran is perfectly compatible with science. Evidently, the contradictory accounts of creation if taken literally and not as a creation myth; or the claim that a person is produced from a lique emitting from between the backbone and the ribs (and not the testes) produce issues difficult to reconcile with science.

The rule of thumb:

1. For religious guidance as a Muslim - go to the Quran and the hadith

2. For scientific information, consult a science book.

Miracles can be thought of as God "suspending the rules" for a moment.

It is impossible for science to say anything on the subject because we cannot ask God to keep suspending the rules so that we can make scientific observations and experiments on how God does it. I should imagine that God would maintain a polite silence if I aksed repeatedly, for instance, but I wouldn't because he might get angry, and then you could read about the miraculous event of a scientist turning into a pillar of salt - or whatever God would choose to do.

The scientific miracles of Quran are different from arguments above. It is meant by the scientific miracles of Quran that Quran included lots of scientific statements that was only proved by the state of art of science and information. These statements are considered as scientific miracles because of their revelation in the sixth century while validated only with state-of-art of knowledge, science and discoveries. This is considered as one of the proofs that the holy book Quran was not written by human or extracted from other books, as some may claim, and that Quran was a revelation from God to Prophet Mohamed.

In this regards I quote here the words said by:

Dr. Maurice Bucaille, an eminent medical scientist and a member of the French Academy of Medicine. He is the author of the book entitled "The Bible, The Quran and Science.""Science and Islam's close relationship with it played a tremendous role in strengthening my faith and that of scientists throughout history - even today! This is a fascinating section - do take time to explore it!""There is indeed no human work prior to modern times that contains statements which were equally in advance of the state of knowledge at the time they appeared and which might be compared to the Quran. It comes as no surprise to learn that Religion and Science have always been considered to be twin sisters by Islam and that today, at a time when science has taken such great strides, they still continue to be associated, and furthermore certain scientific data are used for the better understanding of the Quranic text."What is more, in a century where, for many, scientific truth has dealt a deathblow to religious belief, it is precisely the discoveries of science that, in an objective examination of the Islamic Revelation, have highlighted the supernatural character of certain aspects of the Revelation."The Quran contains infinitely more precise details [than many scientific discoveries today] which are directly related to facts discovered by modern science: these are what exercise a magnetic attraction for today's scientists."It is not faith in Islam that first guided my steps, but simple research for the truth. [What led me to this conviction was the fact that it would be unthinkable] for a man of Muhammad's time to have been the author of such statements on account of the state of knowledge in his days."
