Presumably true when the Qur'an is called a miracle. How not, it turns out the verses of Qur'an that was revealed in the 7th century BC in which science has not evolved (at that time people thought the earth was flat and the sun around the earth), in accordance with modern science has recently discovered by humans.
For example verse below:
"And if those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them. And We made from water every living thing. So will they not also believe in? "[Al Anbiyaa: 30]
At that time no one person who knows that the heavens and the earth were originally one. It turned out that modern science such as the Big Bang theory holds that the universe (earth and sky) was once one. Then finally broke into the present.
Then it is true of all the dead, including one-celled plants would contain water and also need water. Presence of water is an indication of life on the planet. Without water, no life impossible. This is the truth of the verse of the Qur'an.
When referring to the sun and moon in the Qur'an, be emphasized that each move in certain orbits or orbits.
"It is He who created night and day, sun and moon. Each of them was circulated in an orbit. "(Qur'an, 21:33)
It is also mentioned in another verse that the sun is not stationary, but moving in a certain path:
"And the sun runs in the circulation. Thus the decree of the Almighty, the Knowing. "(Qur'an, 36:38)
The sky is expanded (Expanding Universe)
In the Qur'an, which was revealed 14 centuries ago when the science of astronomy was still underdeveloped, the expansion of the universe was described like this:
"It is We wake up with power (We) and We Who are steadily expanding." (Qur'an, 51:47)
According to the Qur'an dilated sky / fluffy. And this is the conclusion reached today's science.
Since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding continuously with terrifying speed. The scientists likened the events of the universe with the expansion of the surface of the balloon is being blown.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the only view that is generally believed to be in the world of science is that the universe is fixed and has existed since time immemorial without a beginning. However, the research, observations, and calculations carried out with modern technology, reveals that the real universe had a beginning, and he was constantly "expands".
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is constantly moving and expanding.
This fact is proved also by using observational data in 1929. While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other.
Moving mountains
"And you see those mountains, you would have thought he was still in place, when he was running as a way of clouds." [Qur'an 27:88]
14 centuries ago the whole of human thought the mountain was still not moving. But the mountain is mentioned in the Qur'an it is moving.
Movement of the mountains is caused by movement of the earth's crust where they are. Earth's crust is like floating on a layer of magma that is more tightly. At the beginning of the 20th century, for the first time in history, a German scientist named Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents on the earth's surface converges on the early Earth, but later shifted to a different direction so that when they move apart each other stay away.
The geologists understand the truth of the statement of new Wegener in 1980, 50 years after his death. As ever proposed by Wegener in an article published in 1915, about 500 million years ago all over the mainland in early Earth's surface is a single entity called Pangaea. This land is located at the south pole.
About 180 million years ago, Pangaea split into two parts each of which move in different directions. One of these giants of the land or the Gondwana continent, including Africa, Australia, Antarctica and India. The second giant continent was Laurasia, which consists of Europe, North America and Asia, except India. For 150 years after this separation, Gondwana and Laurasia divided into lands smaller.
Continents following the splitting of Pangaea formed on the surface of the Earth has moved continuously as far as several centimeters per year. The incident also led to widespread changes in the comparison between land and ocean regions on Earth.
The movement of the Earth's crust is found after the geological research carried out at the beginning of the 20th century. The scientists describe this event as follows:
Crust and the outer portion of the magma, with a thickness of about 100 km, divided into layers called plates. There are six major plates and several small plates. According to the theory called plate tectonics, these plates move on the surface of the Earth, carrying continents and ocean floor with him. Movement of the continents have been measured and the speed of 1 to 5 cm per year. These plates are constantly moving, and produce changes in the geography of the earth slowly. Every year, for example, the Atlantic Ocean becomes slightly wider. (Carolyn Sheets, Robert Gardner, Samuel F. Howe; General Science, Allyn and Bacon Inc. Newton, Massachusetts, 1985, s. 30)
There are very important things worth noting here: in the verse God has called on the motion of mountains as the clouds mengapungnya trip. (Today, modern scientists also use the term "continental drift" or "floating movement of the continent" for this movement. (National Geographic Society, Powers of Nature, Washington DC, 1978, s.12-13)
No question about it, is one of the wonders of the Qur'an that this scientific fact, which has recently been discovered by scientists, has been revealed in the Qur'an.
"And we have the wind blowing to marry and We send down rain from the sky and we give you to drink water at all times and it was not you who keep them." (Qur'an, 15:22)
Forecast the Roman victory over the Persians
"Alif, Lam, Mim. Romans have been defeated, in the nearest country and after their defeat they will win, in a few years (again). For Him affairs before and after (they won). "(Qur'an, 30:1-4)
These verses were revealed about the year 620 AD, almost seven years after the great defeat at the hands of the Christian Byzantine Persia, when the Byzantines lost Jerusalem. Then narrated in this paragraph that the Byzantines in the near win. In fact, Byzantium had then suffered a defeat so much that seemed impossible for him to maintain his existence, let alone win again. Not only the Persians, but also Avars, Slavs and Lombards posed a serious threat to the Byzantine Empire. Avars had come to reach the boundary walls of Constantinople. Byzantine emperor, Heraclius, had ordered the gold and silver in the church is melted and used the money to pay for combat troops. Many governors rebelled against Emperor Heraclius, and Empire and is located at the point of collapse. Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, which was originally ruled by the Byzantines, was invaded by the Persians. (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society, Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.)
The body of Pharaoh rescued
"So this day We saved your body that you can be a lesson for those who come after you" [Qur'an 10:92]
Maurice Bucaille was formerly the research mummy of Pharaoh in Egypt. On the mummy of Ramses II, he found a singularity, which is a very high salt content in the body. He then found the answer in the Quran, it turns out this is the Pharaoh Ramses II that once drowned by Allah swt while pursuing Moses.
Gospel & Torah only mentions that Ramses II sank, but only the Koran, which later stated that his body was saved by God Almighty, so that it can be a lesson for us all.
Note that the Prophet Muhammad lived 3000 years after the incident, and there is no way that information (bodies of Ramses II congratulations) found him (as in the Gospels and the Torah was not called). Tomb of Pharaoh, Pyramids, a recently discovered buried in the ground by the archaeologist Giovanni Battista Belzoni in 1817. But the Quran can mention it because it is the word of Allah Almighty (not made by the Prophet Muhammad).
Everything is created in pairs
The Qur'an repeatedly mentions the couple in the plant kingdom, also called a mate in a more general framework, and with boundaries that are not specified.
"Glory to God who has created pairs of everything good from what is grown by the earth and of themselves and of what they do not know." [Yaa Seen 36:36]
We can hypothesize as much about the meaning of the things that humans do not know at the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The things that people do not know it included a paired arrangement or function well in most small objects or objects of the greatest, both in inanimate objects or living things. The important thing is to remember the ideas described in the paragraph that is rambang and to know that we did not find any conflict with the Science of this period.
Although the idea of a "couple" commonly stands for male and female, or male and female, the phrase "or of what they do not know" in the paragraph above has a wider scope. Now, the scope of another meaning of the verse has been revealed. The British scientist Paul Dirac, who proposed that matter is created in pairs, was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933. This discovery, called "parité", stating that the matter is paired with its opposite: anti-matter. Anti-matter has the opposite properties of the material. For example, in contrast to the material, electrons are positively charged anti-matter, and protons are negatively charged. This fact is stated in a scientific source as follows:
"... Every particle has its antiparticle of opposite charge ... and the uncertainty relation tells us that pair creation and pair annihilation happen in the vacuum at any time, in every place."
All this indicates that the element iron is not formed on Earth, but was taken by the meteors through the explosion of stars in space, and then "sent to earth", exactly as stated in the verse. It is clear that this fact can not be scientifically known in the 7th century, when the Qur'an was revealed.
