Science is not against religion. On the contrary, it
supplements religion. Numerous scientific instances will be found if one
searches in the deep ocean of the Glorious Qur’an.
Some of the examples are given below:
1. Finger-tips of human being: In Surah al-Qiyamah, Ayah 1 to 5 which reads: “I swear by the Day of
Resurrection, and by the self-accusing soul (Nafse-Lawwamah) (that you will be
certainly resurrected). Do men think that We shall never be able to assemble
their bones? We certainly have the Power to restore them, even (the very tips of)
their fingers. In fact, people want to commit sins and send them ahead (without
repentance).”
In Arabic the word “Banan” is used both for fingers and also for “finger-tips”
It is said that no two persons in the world have similar lines on the fingers.
Latest science of analyzing the finger prints of people, especially the
criminals, has been successful in correct identification of individuals. In
1880, finger printing became the scientific method of identification, after the
research done by Sir Francis Golt.
2. Cure of cholesterol: The
Chinese scientists who were searching for the control of cholesterol disease
found that a protein called metalothyne produced in the brain is vital for the
control of cholesterol. They found that the best source of that protein could
be found in a combination of fig and olive. The ratio of fig to olives was
found to be one to seven. Surprisingly, the Arabic word for fig (Teen) is found
only once in the Glorious Qur’an while olive in Arabic (Zaitun) is found seven
times!

Benefits of dates: When
Hazrat Mariyam was pregnant with Prophet Ei’sa, she went near a Pam tree, a
voice was generated near her feet saying: “Do
not be sad. Your Lord has caused a stream to run at your feet. Shake the trunk
of a palm tree, it will provide you with fresh ripe dates. Eat, drink and
rejoice…” (Surah Mariyam Ayah 24 to 26).
Dates are very nutritious for the women after delivery. It has a superior type
of sugar in abundance. Dates have 13 nutrients including 5 types of vitamins.
It has calcium which strengthens bones, phosphorus which is essential for
brain, nerves and potassium.
4.
Human embryo: Surah Mursallat Ayah 20 and 21: “Did we not
create you from an insignificant drop of fluid and place it in a secure place.” The embryo is placed in a secured
place; secured from light, sound. It is protected by the bones and ligaments
which becomes thicker and longer by the passage of time.
5.
Revelation to honey-bees:
Surah al-Nahal Ayah 68 and 69: “Your
Lord inspired the bees, “Make hives in the mountains, in the trees, and in the
trellises, then eat of every fruit and follow the path of your Lord submissively. From out of their bellies comes a drink of color in which there is a
cure for the human being.” This Divine revelation is addressed to the
female bee because male bee’s only function is to inseminate the queen bee. The
female bee produces honey, cleans and maintains the hive.
6. Gravitational force of earth: Surah al-Mursalaat Ayah 25: “Did We not make the earth a receptacle?”
The Arabic word “Kifatan” translated as “Receptacle” means “Living things
gathered or collected together” Sir Isaac Newton, when published his book in
1687 A.D., while discussing Gravity, used the Latin word “Attraere” which means
“To attract, bring together”. Due to gravity, men, animals, plants etc. is
attracted towards the center of the earth and do not float in space.
7. Radar System: Surah
al-Saba Ayah 10: “We gave Dawood great favor from Us: ‘O mountains and birds!
Echo with him in his praise! And We made iron malleable for him.” The term
“Awwibee” translated as “Echoing” may represent the modern Radar System which
works on the theory of reflection of electro-magnetic waves. Radar is a
technology to locate an object, stationary or moving, its speed and direction. It
works on the theory of echo of electro-magnetic waves. It is similar to the
echo of sound waves. The term “Alanna” means “Soft”. Soft Magnetic Iron is the
best medium for the electro-magnetic transmission.
