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.
