When we want to talk about Islam as a way of life, it is a very difficult task
especially in the West because o f several misconceptions and stereotypes that
are prevalent about Islam and Muslims.
One of the surprising facts for most non-Muslims is that Islam has over 975
million followers all over the world. Islam has a revelation, a holy book, called
the Qur’an which was revealed to the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
about fourteen hundred years ago. The Qur’an is the last and final revelation
until the end of human existence on earth.
When we talk about Islam or Christianity, we should not consider some
Muslims ‘ and Christians’ wrongdoing as a way to judge Islam or Christianity.
As far as scripture goes, let us see what Dr. Maurice Bucailie said in his
book The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, which was published by the
American Trust Publications 1979:
“Thanks to its undisputed authenticity, the text of the Qur’an holds a
unique place among the books of Revelation, shared neither by the Old
nor the New Testament. In the first two sections of this work, a review
was made of the alterations undergone by the Old Testament and the
Gospels before they were handed down to us in the form we know today.
The same is not true for the Qur’an for the simple reason that It was
written down at the time of the prophet”.
Somebod1y with a counter argument might ask, "How would I know that
the Qur’an is a revelation from Allah? Do you have any evidence?’
I have evidence that the Qur’an is a revelation from Allah and this evidence
is presented in the next few pages. When the revelation of the Qur’an
commenced in 622 A.D., it was a linguistic miracle. The Quran has a challenge
in it. The challenge is for anybody to produce some thing like or similar to the
Qur’an.
This challenge was presented in the Qur’an in Sura No.17, Veise No.88
which is translated as follows:
“Say : If the whole of mankind and Jinn were together to
produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like
thereof, even if they back up each other with help and
support.”
Years passed and nobody was able to meet the challenge. Later (after
several years) the challenge in the Qur’an was eased asking for anyone
to produce even ten Suras like those in it. This was in the Quran in Sum
No. 11, Verse no. 13 which is translated as follows:
“Or they may say, “He forged it” Say, “Bring ye then ten
Suras forged, like unto it, and call (to your aid) whomsoever
ye can, other than Allah! If ye speak the truth”
Again years passed and nobody was able to successfully meet the
challenge. Later the challenge was eased for the second time to produce
one Sura like or similar to the Suras in the Qur'an.
The challenge (to anyone) to produce one Sura was presented in the
Qur’an in more than a Sura, one of them was in Sura No. 2, Verse No. 23 which
is translated as follows:
" And If ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from
time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like
thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers besides Allah, if
what you say is true. "
Since then more than fourteen hundred years have passed, and nobody
has been able to meet the challenge, and nobody will, because the
Qur’an is the only existing book containing the word of Allah which no man
can match or imitate. The most eloquent people in the Arabic language spent
years going over and searching the Qur’an, trying to find any weak or
Inadequate word or sentence, but they could not. They even went further, trying
to find a way to substitute a word or a sentence in the Qur'an, hoping to convey
a similar meaning as the original one, but they failed to do so.
As a result of this, many people, especially linguists, throughout the last
fourteen hundred years believed in the Qur’an as a revelation beyond
any human capacity.
In the beginning of the modern ages, some non-Muslims argued that the
appreciation of the Arabic language has declined even among the native
speakers themselves, and that most of the non-Muslims cannot speak Arabic.
They conclude that the Qur'an will not stay till the end of the human existence
on earth as a miracle.
This is not a valid argument because, there are still millions of people all
over the world who have a very good command of the Arabic language and
could appreciate the linguistic miracle of the Qur’an But the Quran has
something else for the modem ages. Some people have noticed that there are
many facts about the science of astronomy, human reproduction and other
scientific fields in the Qur’an.
Modem scientists have been amazed by the accuracy of scientific
information presented in the Quran. Some people wrote books about this
phenomenon which attracted the attention of many people in the
west-both Muslims and Non-Muslims.
One of these books is a specialized book in embryology entitled The
Developing Human by Dr.Keith L. Moore, published by W.B. Saunders,
2- In the third edition of this book, Dr. Moore said:
It is cited in the Koran, the holy book of the Muslims, that
human beings are produced from a mixture of secretions from
the male and the female. Several references are made to the
creation of a human being from a sperm drop and it is also
suggested that the resulting organism settles in the woman
like a seed, six days after its beginning.
(The human blastocyst begins to implant about six days after
fertilization.) The Koran, (and prophet saying), also states
that the sperm drop develops “into a clot of congealed blood”
(an implanted blastocyst or a spontaneously aborted
conceptus would resemble a blood clot.)
Reference is also made to the leech-like
appearance of the Embryo ..."
This was part of what. Dr. Moore wrote in his
book Later, after more research and study of the Qur’anic terms used to
describe the development of the embryo in the mother’s womb and
other related descriptions, Dr. Moore found that the Qur’anic terms and
statements are amazing in their scientific accuracy.
Therefore, Dr. ‘Moore decided to add a chapter to the next edition of his
book to discuss the scientific accuracy of the Qur’anic version, which
was revealed fourteen hundred years ago. In the seventh Saudi Medical
Meeting, Dr. Moore wrote a paper about Human Embryology in the
Qur'an and the Hadith. He said in the paper 1 was amazed at the
scientific accuracy of these statements (in the Qur’an), which were
made in the 7th century A.D.
Now the question Is: if the Qur'an describes these scientific facts with
great accuracy, how, could’ it be a human work? Let us see what Dr.
Maurice Bucaille said after he had read the Qur’an:
“My first goal was to read the Qur’an and to make a sentence
by sentence analysis of it... my approach was to pay special
attention to the description of numerous natural phenomena
given in the Qur’an; the highly accurate nature of certain
details referring to them in the Book, which was only apparent
in the original, struck me’ by the fact that they were in
keeping with present-day ideas although a man living at the
time of Muhammad couldn't have suspected this at’ all... what
initially strikes the reader confronted for the first time with a
text of this kind is the sheer abundance of subjects
discussed.., where as monumental errors are to be found in
the Bible I could not find a single error in the Qur’an. I had to
stop and ask myself:
if a man was the author of the Qur’an how could he have
written facts in the seventh century A.D. that today are
shown to be in keeping with modern scientific knowledge?...
What human explanation can there be to this observation? In
my opinion there is no explanation; there is no special reason
why an inhabitant of the Arabian Peninsula should have had
scientific knowledge on certain subjects that was ten
centuries ahead...It is an established fact that at the time of
the Qur’anic Revelation, i.e. within a period of roughly twenty
three years straddling Hegira (622 A.D.), scientific knowledge
had not progressed for centuries and the period of activity in
Islamic civilization, with its accompanying scientific upsurge,
came after the close of the Qur’anic revelation.”

My tongue can not say anything but thank you very much and thank you for this lovely words you are saying in your subject. You are really show us the real beauty of the holy book and you are reminding people who forgot how to read it by their heart and not just by their mouth. The holy book, Qur'an is what people need these days and not the money or anything else in this life. Let's always read Qur'an.
best regards
