After doing a bit of research, I've came with a plenty of obvious scientific facts mentioned in the Quran which was revealed 1400 years ago. I have been wondering how could one reject the Islamic faith with these obvious miracles. I'm gonna list a plenty of them here:
1-Weight of clouds
Today, modern science has discovered the tremendous heavy weight of clouds although clouds may just seem like a bunch weightless gases. Such a thing didn't even crossed my mind, and most people don't even know that clouds have weight, and the Quran talked about this 1400; It said:
It is He Who shows you the lightning, striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds. (Qur'an, 13:12)
2-Darkness in deep water
From 1000 meters below the surface, there's a complete darkness; There's no sunlight at all. How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago in a desert know such a thing? Did he really dive all that way?
God has said in the Quran:
Or (the unbelievers’ state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darknesses, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it....
(Quran, 24:40)
3-Fertilizing winds
God has said in the Quran:
And We send the winds fertilizing, (and) so We send down from the heaven water, then We give it to you to drink, and in no way can you even be its treasurers. (Quran 15:22)
Modern science has uncovered the reproduction process in flowering plants. It's already know that the wind helps the pollen grains to travel all the way around to the female plant. I wonder how could someone in the very past living in a desert know such a thing.
4-Fire tornadoes
A fire whirl, also known as fire tornado or fire twister, is created when a wildfire or firestorm creates its own wind, which can turn into a vortex of fire.
An extreme example of a fire whirl is the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake in Japan, which ignited a large city-sized firestorm and produced a gigantic fire whirl that killed 38,000 people in fifteen minutes in the Hifukusho-Ato region of Tokyo.

The Quran described this phenomenon long before it was discovered:
[Quran 2.266] Would anyone of you like to have a garden of palms and vines, under which rivers flow, with all kinds of fruit in it for him, and old age has stricken him, and he has weak children, then a tornado containing fire burns it? Thus Allah makes clear the signs for you, so that you may reflect.
1400 years ago the only known tornados were those with rain and hail. Fire tornados were not known at that time. Furthermore, for a fire tornado to happen, a tremendous amount of fire is needed. Such a thing may happen in a burning forest, but there's no way it could happen in a desert.
5-Pulsars
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars. Most neutron stars discovered today are in the form of radio pulsars. They are called radio pulsars because they emit radio waves. We can simply connect a radio telescope to a loud speaker and hear a pulsar. Pulsars sound like someone persistently knocking. Listen to this video, and judge by yourself:
The Quran describes a star by "The one who knocks":
[Quran 86.1-3] And the heaven and the "Knocker" How could you know about the "Knocker"? The piercing star.
