Science in the Glorious Quran: CONCLUDING REMARKS
The Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who lived in an illiterate society in the Arabian Desert, in the 7th century. Unlike the other previous revelations which suffered from complete or partial distortions, the Glorious Qur’an has been well-preserved, because since its revelation it has been recorded and memorized by heart.
In the Glorious Qur’an, there are numerous precise scientific facts which have been fairly-recently discovered. In this book, we have reviewed different scientific facts which deal with biology, embryology, cosmology, and geology.
It is possible that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) could have known all these scientific facts, which were not by any means known at his time, unless the Qur’an was inspired to him by God?
The Glorious Qur’an, therefore, is the living, divine miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The main purpose of the revelation of the Qur’an is to guide mankind to the Straight Path of God; the religion of Islam. The religion of Islam is the same religion conveyed by all prophets of God including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (PBUT). Islam means “obedience and submission to God”. Islam is followed by nearly one-fourth of the human race and it guarantees the well-being of mankind in this life and the life to come.
