Do they not ponder the Quraan? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.

Had We sent down this Quraan on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and cracking apart by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect .

The Creator said in the Quraan:

سنريهم آياتنا في اآلفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق أولم يكف بربك أنه على كل شىء

(53)فصلت شهيد

“We will show them our signs in the heavens and in themselves until they realize that it )the Quraan( is the truth. Is it not enough that your lord is a witness upon everything!”

Introduction:

• The Quraan is the truth from the Almighty Allah. As such, it is in harmony and predates modern scientific discoveries.

• The Quraan is primarily a book of faith rather than a book of science. Non-the-less, God has embedded signs in it that endorse its authenticity.

• The marvels of the Quraan will continue to unravel until the end of time as mentioned in the preceding verse.

• Allah has chosen words that suit all intellectual levels throughout time.

• The Quraan was revealed more than 14 centuries ago, yet it continues to challenge the wisdom and knowledge of mankind.

He )Allah( created the heavens and the earth with the Truth )not for playing(. He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night.

Do the Unbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together )as one unit of Creation(, before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
