4- Scientific Proof
Some of the proofs of Islam are only now being discovered as humankind makes scientific discoveries. Some of these scientific proofs include:
–The seas do not mingle with one another
{He released the two seas, meeting [side by side]. Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses.} (Quran 55:19-20)
This is called the Halocline phenomenon and was discovered only in the late 19th century at the very earliest (13 centuries after the revelation in the Quran), until then it was believed that the seas where just one homogeneous, free flowing body.
Because of the physical force called ‘surface tension,’ the waters of neighboring seas do not mix. Caused by the difference in the density of their waters, surface tension prevents them from mingling with one another, just as if a thin wall were between them.
–The expansion of the universe
{And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.} (Quran 51:47)
At the beginning of the 20th century, the only view in the scientific community was that the universe was fixed in size and infinite in existence. However, modern research has revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning and that it constantly “expands.”
(Source) A fact that was explained in the Qur’an in a time when telescopes and similar technological advancements were not even close to being invented.
-The function of the mountains
{And We placed within the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them, and We made therein [mountain] passes [as] roads that they might be guided.} (Quran 21:31)
The verse states that mountains perform the function of preventing shocks in the Earth (lest it should shift). This fact was not known by anyone at the time the Qur’an was revealed. It was brought to light only recently as a result of the findings of modern geological research.
The “Mountains play a similar role to a nail or peg firmly holding down a tent. For example, Mount Everest, the summit of which stands approximately 9 km above the surface of the Earth, has a root deeper than 125 km.” Andre Cailleux and J. Moody Stuart, Anatomy of the Earth (McGraw-Hill Companies: 1968), 220.)
Similarly, mountains extend to the surface layer joining lines on and below the surface, and nail these together. By fixing the Earth’s crust they prevent any sliding over the magma layer or among the layers. Scientific facts discovered only recently but mentioned in the Quran in the 7th century.
These are just a few scientific evidences in the Quran. Check out Mission Islam for more (missionislam).
5- The Prophet is Mentioned in Previous Revelations
The Prophet Muhammad is mentioned many times in the Old and New Testament. In some places his name has been translated as comforter. This is what the name Muhammad has been translated as.
According to Dr. Zakir Naik, “the word ‘Comforter’ is used in the English translation for the Greek word “Paracletos” which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter. “Paracletos” is the warped reading for “Periclytos”. Jesus (PBUH) actually prophesied Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word “Paraclete” refers to the Prophet (PBUH) who is a mercy for all creatures.”
It is also mentioned in Isaiah 29:12: “And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.” We know the story when the Angel Gabriel came to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Cave of Hirah that he commanded Muhammad to “Read” and Muhammad replied that he could not read or “I am not learned”.
