The Scientific Miracles in
The Holy Quran (Examples)
• Al-Nasiyah (front of the head and the brain) in The Holy
Quran and medicine (Prefrontal lobe).
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions and ablution (Wudu).
• Breast feeding in The Holy Quran.
• Embryology in The Holy Quran.
•
Iron (Fe) in The Holy Quran and medicine.
• Water (H2O) in The Holy Quran, science and medicine.
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) e.g. AIDS in Islamic
teaching and medicine.
INTRODUCTION
• Message of Holy Quran.
• Number of medical and cosmic verses (ayaat) in the
Holy Quran (ayaat with scientific reference).
• The Holy Quran and science.
• The Quranic system in the mankind and universe.
• Two books (The Holy Quran and the universe).
• The rationale for recurrence of ayaat of scientific
reference in The Holy Quran.
• The Qura’n is a book of faith (Iman) and
guidance (Hidaayah). It also includes
educational dimensions for the establishment
of a virtuous society. Allah (SWT) says:
89 :‫النحل‬
َِ ‫ك ال‬
‫اب تِْب يَانا لِّ ُك ِّل َش ْي ٍء‬
‫ت‬
‫ْك‬
َ ‫" َونَ َّزلْنَا َعلَْي‬

ِ ِ‫و ُهدى ور ْحمة وب ْشرى لِ ْلمسل‬
"‫ين‬
‫م‬
َ
َ ْ ُ َ َُ َ ََ
"And we have sent down to thee the book explaining
all things, a guide, a mercy and glad tidings to
muslims”(An Nahl:89).
• There are many verses (ayaat) in Al Qur’an al
Kareem which deal with different branches of
science ( medical and cosmic).
• We have reviewed and classified these verses
according to their scientific topics and also
studied the rationale behind their recurrence
in the Qur’an.
• The results were as follows:
First: There are approximately 1200 ayaat
which refer to the different sciences,
which constitutes nearly 20% of the total
number of ayaat (6236) in Al Qur’an al
Kareem.
Second: There are approximately 70 ayaat
praising Science and Scientists, encouraging
them to be involved in discovering the
universe for the good of humanity. As a
matter of fact the first five ayaat revealed to
the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH ) ordered him
to read and learn.
‫) اقرأ وربك‬2( ‫) خلق اإلنسان من علق‬1( ‫اقرأ باسم ربك الذي خلق‬
)5( ‫) علم اإلنسان ما لم يعلم‬4( ‫) الذي علم بالقلم‬3( ‫األكرم‬
5-1 :‫العلق‬
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has
created (1) Has created man from a clot (2)
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,(3)
Who has taught by the pen,(4) Has taught
man that which he knew not (5)

365 times .
• Month :
12 times .

Al-Nasiyah
(front of the head & the brain)
• The holy Qur’an describes the front of
the head in the disbelievers being lying
and sinful !!
)16 :‫(سورة العلق‬
)‫(ناصية كاذبة خاطئة‬
Allah (SWT) says: (a lying sinful nasiyah
(front of the head).
(96: 16)
• Since the front of the head does not
speak, how can it be described as
being lying? It does not commit sins.
How is it then said to be sinful?
• The linguistic meaning of the Ayah
‫ ناصية كاذبة‬.‫(كال لئن لم ينته لنسفعا بالناصية‬
16 - 15 :‫العلق‬
)‫خاطئة‬
Allah (SWT) says: (Let him beware! If he
does not stop, We will take him by the
nasiyah, a lying, sinful nasiyah!) (96:15-16)
Al-Nasiyah: the front of the head.
• Most commentators have interpreted this
Verse metaphorically, saying that describing
the nasiyah being lying and sinful is not to be
taken literally; the description is attributed
to the owner of the nasiyah and not to the
nasiyah itself.
• Other commentators did not comment on the
Verse sparing themselves the involvement in
something beyond their knowledge and the
knowledge of their age.
Functions of prefrontal
area in the brain:
• The function of this part of the brain that lies
in the font of the human head (the prefrontal
cortex ) is to control the human behavior.
• The prefrontal cortex constitutes the bulk of
the frontal lobe of the brain, and its function
is involved in the making of one’s
personality. It is also considered as a
superior center among the centers of
concentration, thinking and memory. It plays
a significant role in the person’s emotion and
it is somehow concerned with initiative and
discrimination.
• Prof. Dr. Keith Moore, who stated that the
front of the head is responsible for judging
and for directing human behavior. The
working organs of the body (e.g. the limbs or
tongue) are but tools to carry out the
decision made in the front of the head
• He, confirming what he had said, added:
“When a person intends to tell a lie, the
decision is made in the frontal lobe of the
brain, which is the front of the head. If he
wants to commit a sin, the decision is made
there, too”

Conclusion
• Prof. Keith Moore, illustrating this Scientific Miracle,
says: “The information we now know about the function
of the brain, was not mentioned throughout history, nor
do we find anything about it in the medical books.
Should we survey all the medical literature during the
time of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and several
centuries thereafter, we would find no mention of the
function of the frontal lobe (nasiyah), or an explanation
of it or a statement about it except in this Book (the
Holy Qur’an), which indicates that such information is
of the Knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, Who knows
everything, and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger”
!! ‫سةود الدماغ‬
Prostration of the brain !!
‫ (وهلل يسةد من في السموام واألرض‬:‫قال تعالى‬
15 :‫الرعد‬
)‫طوعا وكرها وظاللهم بالغدو واآلصال‬
• Allah (SWT) says in The Holy Quran:
(And to Allah prostrates whoever is within the
heaven and the earth, willingly or unwillingly,
and their shadows (as well) in the mornings
and the afternoons)

The rationale for recurrence
of ayaat of scientific
reference in The Holy Quran
(Allah SWT knows best)
A-To support the six principles of Faith (Iman), especially
the Iman in Allah Almighty and in the hereafter.
B-To stimulate thinking and scientific research in order to
discover the universe.
C- To express the power of Allah Almighty and his unique
creations.
D-To show the mercy and the numerous favours of Allah
Almighty to mankind.
E- To give evidence that the Qur’an is the word of Allah
Almighty revealed to His Prophet Muhammad (PBU).
The scientific miracle of Holy Qur’an.
‫)سنريهم آياتنا في اآلفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه‬
(‫الحق أولم يكف بربك أنه على كل شيء شهيد‬
53 :‫فصلت‬
We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in
their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that
this (the Qur'ân) is the truth Is it not sufficient in regard
to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?
(Surah Fussilat: ayat 53)

We have deduced from our study and
Allah knows best, that the rationale for the
recurrence of those ayaat are to achieve
the following aims:
A-
To support the six principles of Faith
(Iman), especially the Iman in Allah
Almighty and in the hereafter, for
example Surah An-Nisa’ ayat no. 136.
It was found that there is a strong
correlation (about 92%) between
such ayaat and these principles of
Iman as follows:
‫(يا أيها الذين آمنوا ِ‬
‫آمنوا باهلل ورسوله والكتاب الذي نزل‬
‫َ‬
‫على رسوله والكتاب الذي أنزل من قبل ومن يكفر باهلل‬
‫ومالئكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم اآلخر فقد ضل ضال‬
‫)‬
‫بعيدا‬
‫النساء‪136 :‬‬
O you who believe! Believe in Allâh, and His
Messenger, and the Book which He has sent down
to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent
down to those before, and whosoever disbelieves
in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers,
and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far
away.

B- The unprecedented nature of scientific
content: to stimulate reflection and
research in order to discover more
about the universe.
‫(فتعالى اهلل الملك الحق و تعةل بالقرآن من قبل أن‬
(‫يقضى إليك وحيه وقل رب جدني علما‬
114 :‫ط ه‬
Then High above all be Allâh, the True King And
be not in haste with the Qur'ân before its
revelation is completed to you, and say: "My
Lord! Increase me in knowledge"
(Surah Taha: ayat 114)
C- The scientific miracle of the Qur’an
(I’jaz): to show and give evidence that
the Qur’an is the word of Allah Almighty
revealed to his Prophet Muhammad
(PBU)
‫)سنريهم آياتنا في اآلفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه‬
(‫الحق أولم يكف بربك أنه على كل شيء شهيد‬
53 :‫فصلت‬
We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in
their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that
this (the Qur'ân) is the truth Is it not sufficient in regard
to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?
(Surah Fussilat: ayat 53)
D- To express the power of Allah Almighty
and his unique creations (Surah AlMu’minun: ayaat 21 -22).
‫(وإن لكم في األنعام لعبرة نسقيكم مما في بطونها ولكم‬
‫فيها منافع ك يرة ومنها تأكلون وعليها وعلى الفلك‬
(‫تحملون‬
And Verily! In the cattle there is indeed a lesson for you We
give you to drink (milk) of that which is in their bellies And
there are, in them, numerous (other) benefits for you, and of
them you eat and on them, and on ships you are carried
E- To show the mercy and the
numerous favours of Allah Almighty
to mankind (Surah An-Nahl:ayat 18).
(‫(وإن تعدوا نعمة اهلل تحصوها إن اهلل لغفور رحيم‬
And if you would count the graces of Allâh,
never could you be able to count them Truly!
Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
