It isn't, but I was responding to the assertion that "Muslims haven't invented anything significant and haven't made any scientific discoveries since the year 1258."

I have demonstrated this to not be true.

My advice therefore: Don't think of the Qur'an as a science book. Think of it as a spiritual book.


Nothing significant? What about vaccinations against smallpox?

12) Vaccination
 
The technique of inoculation was not invented by Jenner and Pasteur but was devised in the Muslim world and brought to Europe from Turkey by the wife of the English ambassador to Istanbul in 1724. Children in Turkey were vaccinated with cowpox to fight the deadly smallpox at least 50 years before the West discovered it.

Assalaamu�alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

 

Now I know why Rasulallah Muhammad SAW always had a high fever when he received revelation. I imagine how hard he delivered QS-27: 88, 1400 years ago to the Arabs that already have the trust of ignorance for centuries.

 

Surah 3 (Ali 'Imran / Family of 'Imran), Verse 7:

It is He who sent down Al Kitab (Al Qur'an) to you. Among its contents were verses precise (muhkamaat), those are the main contents of the Qur'an and others were (verses) unspecific (mutasyaabihaat). As for those in whose hearts tend to perversity, they follow a part of mutasyaabihaat verses to cause a scandal, and to seek out its hidden meanings (that�s suitable to them), but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And people who have deep knowledge say: "We believe in mutasyaabihaat verses, all of it is from our Lord". And no one take a lesson (from it) except the people who always uses his wits.

 

In my opinion Qur�an Surah-27, Verse-88 is one of mutasyaabihaat verses, verses can only be understood by those able to think clearly, either from the previous generation or the generation of the next centuries.

For people who can not afford to think about it, I encourage you to pay attention Quran Surah-5, Verse-101:

O you who believe, do not ask (to your Prophet) when things are explained to you, surely troubling you and if you ask at the time the Qur'an was being revealed, will be explained to you. God forgive (you) about these things. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

 

For me personally, I do not able to prove that the Qur'an is not the scientific literature. Especially after reading the Qur'an Surah following

   Surah-18, Verse-109:
Say: "Had it the sea were ink for (writing) the words of my Lord, the sea would indeed be finished before it runs out (written) Words of my Lord, even if we were to bring as much of it (too).

   Surah-31, Verse-27:

And if all the trees on earth were pens and the sea (were ink), added to it seven seas (again) after (dry) it, surely the words of Allah will not finish to be written. Surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.

 

But any way I should thank to your comments, either support or just making fun and for Muslims all over the world, I encourage you to pay attention to

Qur�an Surah-2, Verse-269 following:

Allah confers al hikmah (deep understanding about which the Holy Qur'an and As Sunnah) to whom He wills. And he who granted al hikmah, he really has awarded the many grace. And only those intelligent person who can take a lesson (from the word of God).

 

Wassalaam

I agree with Ron. We should expose the ridiculousness of Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge movements like Bucailleism.

Wink

In my understanding there are two types of mountains in the Qur'an. Generally they all known as JABAL, but when it mention ROWASIYA it is associated it with flowing water (streams) and trees and fertile lands. I don't think the word "PEG" ever associated with Rowasiya, which is the characteristic of active volcanic mountains in which they are earth quake prone.

But maybe I am wrong, so who would correct me?

I'm not making fun of the "creations of Allah", NABA.  I'm making fun of those who think the Quran is a science text. Tongue
