CONCLUSION
To attribute the presence of scientific facts in the
Qur’an to coincidence would be against common
sense and a true scientific approach.
Indeed the scientific accuracy of the Qur'anic verses
confirm the Qur'an's open declaration.
سَنُرِيهِمْ
آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ
الْحَقُّ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
41:53
“Soon will We show them
Our Signs in the (furthest)
regions (of the earth), and
in their own souls, until
it becomes manifest to them
that this is the Truth
it is not enough that
Thy Lord doth witness
all things?”
[Al-Qur’an 41:53]
The Qur’an invites all humans to reflect on the
Creation of this universe in the verse:
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لآيَاتٍ لِّأُوْلِي
الألْبَابِ 3:190
“Behold! In the creation
of the heavens and the earth,
and the alternation
of Night and Day –
there are indeed Signs
for men of understanding .”
[Al-Qur’an 3:190]
The scientific evidences of the Qur’an clearly prove
its Divine origin. No human could have produced a
book, fourteen hundred years ago, that would
contain such profound scientific facts.
The Qur’an, however, is not a book of Science but a
book of ‘Signs’. These signs invite Man to realize the
purpose of his existence on earth, and to live in
harmony with Nature. The Qur’an is truly a
message from Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of
the universe. It contains the same Message of the
Oneness of God, that was preached by all prophets,
right from Adam, Moses, Jesus to Muhammad
(peace be upon them).
Several detailed tomes have been written on the
subject of Qur’an and modern science and further
research in this field is on. Inshallah, this research
will help mankind to come closer to the Word of the
Almighty. This booklet contains only a few of the
scientific facts present in the Qur’an. I cannot claim
to have done full justice to the subject.
Prof. Tejasen accepted Islam on the strength of just
one scientific ‘sign’ mentioned in the Qu’ran. Some
people may require ten signs while some may
require hundred signs to be convinced about the
Divine origin of the Qur’an. Some would be
unwilling to accept the Truth even after being
shown a thousand signs. The Qur’an condemns such
a closed mentality in the verse:
صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ
عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ 2:18
“Deaf, dumb and blind,
They will not return
(To the path).”
[Al-Qur’an 2:18]
The Qur’an contains a complete code of life for the
individual and society. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to
Allah), the Qur’anic way of life is far superior to the
‘isms’ that modern man has invented out of sheer
ignorance. Who can give better guidance than the
Creator Himself?
I pray that this humble effort is accepted by Allah,
to whom I pray for mercy and guidance (Aameen).
