Miracles in the Qur'an

[ChildishFears]

Muslims, what are your 3 top scientific miracles from the Qur'an-could you provide verses that support them please. Also I'm curious, if there is a scientific theory that may conflict with the Qur'an, do you toss it out and keep the ones that you believe support the Qur'an?

this is subjective .... for me as an engineering student
1) speed of angels = speed of light
2) pulsars
3) iron sent down to earth
4) embryology

as for conflict with Quran, there is no such thing. we use science to help us understand Quran and appreciate God's preknowledge of existence. i would not call them scientific miracles. it is more like God describing in Quran things that are happening in our life. then science discovers it. then we say "oh , this is why God said so and so - amazing - Quran must be from God "

why three ? there are alot of miracles .what specific types of miracles you want ?
there are miracles in quran related to all types of science as medical , physics , anatomy , universe , genetics , earth , bilology , astronomy , marine life ,zoology, mathematics , dates on history , numerous

honostly we believe that quran from God , and we believe that quran most trustfull than theories.
theories are differs from facts
theories are assumptions and it changes through a time .

quran inform us from 1500 year about universe expanding ,first theories didn't suppose that ,

quran predict to action of earth (rotation).
quran also mentioned about sphericity of the earth .

seven layers of the earth mentioned in quran also

 

[Osiris]

Quran also has the equation for e=mc²

Quran also predict that our solar system had 9 planets.
Quran also predicted that pluto is not a planet, and that our solar system really has 8 planets.

Quran predicted a miracle, the Quran predicted the Quran!

Quran does not predict these things .... predictions are for things that are yet to happen .... the solar system existed before revelation of Quran

You fail to see my point then, because of a 'technicality'.

But then, if we want to be really technical, Quran does not predict or state the miracles that you or elwill pointed above.

Like none of these "scientific" miracles were available in 7th century to scientists of the era or the ancients.

it's my fault

I've heard from a few Muslims that the biggest miracle of Islam is the Qur'an itself. Something about how nobody can replicate one of its Suras because they are so amazing.

Can a Muslim explain this? What about the Qur'an makes it so miraculous? I've only read an English version so maybe it's way different in its original language, but I didn't notice anything particularly miraculous about it.

So the miracle of the Qur'an is that it was memorized and recorded word for word for 22 years by Mohammad? Am I understanding your point correctly?

quran is the only book reserved for more than 1400 years without altering even one character from it

the quran is the only book which memorized by millions of muslims (arabs and nonarabs) from every age from cover to cover (more than 500 pages)

the quran is the only book which nobody can alter one character from it .

Every word of the Quranic text is meticulously chosen, chiselled and placed by the All-Wise himself. They carry God's 'fingerprint', and are signs of God. And yet, the spirtually jaundiced....

The author of the Qur`an is reasoning with us, that had Muhammad(pbuh) been a learned man, and had he been able to read or write, then in that case the babblers in the market places might have had some justification to doubt his claim that the holy qur`an is God's word. In the event of Muhammed(pbuh) being a literate person, the accusation of his enemies that he had probably copied his book (Qur`an) from the writings of the jews and christians, or that perhaps he had been studying aristotle and plato, or that he must have browsed through the 'Torat,' the 'Zabur' and the 'Injeel' and had rehashed it all in a beautiful language, might have carried some weight. Then, 'the talkers of vanities' might have had a poiint. But even this flimsy pretence has been denied to the unbeliever and the cynic: a point hardly big enough to hang a fly upon!

that's some claim... i really doubt that.

the quran is the only book which memorized by millions of muslims (arabs and nonarabs) from every age from cover to cover (more than 500 pages)

the bible was the first book to be printed. so what?

And about the video... the quran is not what is making people memorize it. The people themselves are making themselves to memorize it.

If all the holy books become lost, the quran is the only book that can be recovered, right? if all the people that have the quran memorized become lost? heh, then that is just a backup plan... not a miracle. it's a poor analyzation of the guy making this argument (not able to differentiate between what is and what is not a miracle).

I can't see the video due to slow connection at the moment, however I see a screenshot of it, with a bearded dude, right arm in the air... We have seen many ayatollahs before, when islamic zeal starts showing and arms and fists go in the air, logic goes down the drain.

one of the miracles of the Quran is the word itself. Quran generally is translated as "the recital". In arabic, words that have similar structures or patterns tend to have similar definitions. The word "Rahman" means "most merciful", "Rahman" and "Quran" are similar in structure in that they have the same rhyme at the end, among other things. Thus the actual definition of Quran is "most recited".

If we look at any other book on the planet, none is read more than the Quran. The Quran is read in every prayer, five times a day. That is just for prayer. On top of that, there are schools where people memorize the Quran for many hours a day. There are many other times when the Quran is recited. Thus the one of the miracles of the Quran is the name itself.
