The Noble Qur’an is the only Divine scripture to have come down unchanged, as a revelation from Allah, to the present day. One of the proofs confirming that the Qur’an is the word of Allah is the scientific and mathematical miracles it contains. Scientific facts that could not have been known at the time when the Qur’an was sent down, reports concerning earlier times, events referring to the future and the mathematical arrangements within it are just a few of the miraculous aspects of the Qur’an.
As the word of Allah, the Almighty and Omniscient, the Noble Qur’an also contains a great many facts that people are unable to understand or lack the information with which to comprehend them. By means of advances in science and technology, this information is emerging into the light of day – at a time and in a manner of our Lord’s choosing – and is further revealing the miraculous nature of the Qur’an.
There is certainly no need to see these miraculous features or examples that confirm that the Qur’an is in complete agreement with science in order to believe that the Qur’an is the revelation of Allah. The Qur’an is a book that distinguished between truth and falsehood and reflected Allah’s infinite wisdom and knowledge even long before these scientific discoveries were made. However, the examples in this book will be instrumental in many people not living by the religious morality coming to have faith and in increasing Muslims’ fervor and depth of faith. As our Lord reveals in one verse in the Qur’an:
We will show them Our signs on the horizon and within themselves until it is clear to them that it is the truth. … (Surah Fussilat, 53)
