SCIENCE IN THE HOLY QUR´AN
SCIENCE IN THE HOLY QUR´AN
"Read: In the name of your Lord Who creates, creates man
from a clot. Read: And your Lord is the Most Bounteous,
Who teaches by the use of the pen, teaches man that which
he knew not." Quran 96:105
The Quran, itself, as seen by some eminent scholars, is so
rich depository of science, prompting Bucaille to state that
knowledge of science of an `encyclopaedic' range is needed
to assess such vast scientific wealth.(endnote 19) Bucaille
also states that whilst the Quran contains so much of the
scientific, it is also impossible for the scientist to find
inconsistencies in it, in contradiction of science. And whilst
scientific truths are very regularly questioned, and
abandoned, the truths in the Quran are permanent and
unchangeable. Thus it is said under the heading Verses
Containing General Statements are verses that are intended
to lead `man to meditate on the Beneficence of God towards
His creatures,' and include also statements that are relevant
to modern science. Thus in:
(sura 2, verse 22):
"(God) is the One who made the earth a couch for you and
the heavens an edifice, and sent down water from the sky.
He brought forth therewith fruits for your sustenance. Do
not join equals with God when you know."
(sura 2, verse 164):
"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth,
In the disparity of night and day,
In the ship which runs upon the sea for the profit of
mankind,
In the water which God sent down from the sky thereby
reviving the earth after its death,
In the beasts of all kinds He scatters therein,
In the change of the winds and the subjected clouds
between the sky and earth,
Here are Signs for people who are wise."
(sura 13, verse 3):
"(God) is the One who spread out the earth and set therein
mountains standing firm and rivers. For every fruit He
placed two of a pair. He covers the day with the night.
Verily in this there are Signs for people who reflect."
(sura 20, verses 53 and 54):
"(God is) the One Who has made for you the earth like a
cradle and inserted roads into it for you. He sent water
down from the sky and thereby We brought forth pairs of
plants, each separate from the other. Eat! Pasture your
cattle! Verily in this are Signs for people endued with
intelligence."
(sura 79, verses 30-33):
"After that (God) made the earth into a spheroid. Therefrom
He drew out its water and its pasture. And the mountains
He has anchored. Goods for you and for your cattle."
In these verses is shown the role and benefit of water in
sustaining life on earth. The reference in the Qur'an
however, as is pointed out by the author, goes far beyond
this geographical detail.
"According to scientific knowledge the character the Earth
has of a planet that is rich in water is unique to the solar
system, and this is exactly what is highlighted in the Qur'an.
Without water, the Earth would be a dead planet like the
Moon. The Qur'an gives first place to water among the
natural phenomena of the Earth that it refers to. The water
cycle is described with remarkable accuracy in the Qur'an.
When the verses of the Qur'an concerning the role of water
in man's existence are read in succession today. they all
appear to us to express ideas that are quite obvious. The
reason for this is simple: in our day and age, we all, to a
lesser or greater extent, know about the water cycle in
nature."
