Ever Thought of Hope Without The Hope?

By Hasan Shikoh


So, it's when you have hope that you come within the proximity of appreciation.

Now read this [premise]: For so long as there's God, there'll be hope.

Therefore, so long as there's God, there will be appreciation.


Conversely, if there's no God, there'll be no hope; hence no appreciation.

"When any distress touches you in the sea, away go those whom you invoke save He; yet when He brings you safely to the land, you turn away (from Him); and man has ever been ungrateful." Al-Quran 17:67

So that hope and therefore the appreciation is ultimately nothing but ...?

hmm ...

So when "muslims" bow down in prayer five times a day in appreciation of Him, not necessarily because of being delivered from some tribulation, but just "in appreciation" and "gratitude" to set up that "vibrational tone", they are accused of being "blackmailed into thinking only in a box." Yep, these are the almost-exact words that Dr Peter Atkins, professor of Chemistry and atheist par excellence, used in a debate at the University of Warwick in the UK in 2006. I was there.

Talk to me.

2. The Divine Book - The Water Cycle; The Darkness of the Depths

By Hasan Shikoh

So how have scientists, using scientific weather technology -
modern-day science - helped elaborate the following verses?

"And we send the fecundating winds, then cause the water to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water in abundance ..."
Al Quran - 15: 22

"It is He who sends down water in due measure from the sky ..."
Al-Quran - 43: 11
... i.e., according to recent estimates made with scientific methods, 16 million tons of water evaporate from somewhere every
second and 16 million tons of water rain down somewhere every
second ... in due measure ...

Now, how could The Book revealed 1430 years ago come to talk accurately about the water cycle - perhaps more than 1300 or so years before science arrived at the detailed accuracy of it with its gadgetry?

And then wasn't it science that believed something else previously about the water cycle - i.e., until the beginning of the 20th century - and then change its mind when it proved what was already there in The Book?

But that what was in The Book, has remained as is ever since it was revealed??

And Muhammed (peace be upon him) was no bird, or weatherman.

For anything to claim itself to be the absolute truth, it must stand the test of time.

And The Book has done so indeed.

But wait ...

...

How have scientists, using submarine technology - modern-day
science - helped elaborate the following verse ... today??

"Or the state of the (unbelievers) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed by billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds; depths of darkness, one above another; if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it. For any to whom Allah does not give light, there's no light."
Al-Quran - 24: 40


How could a man, living in the thick of the desert, refer to how life might be in the depths of the oceans with [such unquestionable] accuracy? With no doubt on his mind?

And that man of God, Muhammed (peace be upon him) was no scuba diver.

Science, and man in general, will indeed blunder towards The Divine Wisdom ... as science keeps proving and arriving at the principles that "religion" has already told to mankind.

"These are signs for those of assured faith ..." from a Book doubtless ...

Read it.

1. The Divine Book - Human Embryology

By Hasan Shikoh

Here's one of the many examples of modern scientific discoveries contained in the Holy Quran that were conveyed by Muhammad (peace be upon him) exactly as revealed to Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) without any alteration, on to mankind one thousand four hundred thirty years ago; 1430 - that's more than 14 centuries ago.

Science discovered this recently whereas Muhammad conveyed about this when he lived in the Period of Ignorance; when the Arabs were a most barbaric nation, even burying their new-born daughters alive; when they couldn't be bothered to make scientific study or progress; when there was no "scientific" laboratory in Arabia; when Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) had perhaps travelled as far as Damascus only (?); when Muhammad had no "college" or "university" education ...

... yet, he, a man living in the vast, empty desert, in the most unscientific of environments - without the aid of any electronic equipment; with no X-ray equipment; with no CT-Scan machinery; no ultra-sound gadgetry; with no "degree" in medicine or gynaecology - conveyed The Word to mankind about the exact stages of the human embryonic development that occurs within the womb.

Now this was through sorcery, magic or some fluke genius ... or through divine revelation, I leave it up to you to decide, this exactness that modern science only seconds today with the aid of the equipment that it has today.

So, do ask yourself: How could a man living in the most ignorant of times and regions tell about the stages of the embryonic development with such [scientific] accuracy?

Certainly, certainly no Darwin whispered any [absurd!] theories into his ears!

Science might have - and it certainly did - alter its beliefs about the embryonic development as it discovered more over time, thus altering its opinion according to the discovery; yet the Holy Quran's words have never altered. Clearly, undoubtedly, it has stood the test of time.

And for anything to claim itself to be the [ultimate] truth, it must stand the test of time.

And certainly, science only proved what "religion" told centuries upon centuries ago.

So then ask yourself further: if it's scientific facts like these that the Holy Quran contains, and there are plentiful more, then whatever else there's in it might also be true?

Surely, starting off with a hypothesis such as this one, at the least, in order to prove or disprove something would not be a non-scientific approach.
