koran as a book of guidance he called upon people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book since the book and the superior wisdom in it definite evidence that it is the word of god in addition to the court on as many miraculous attributes proving  revelation from god one of these attributes is the fact base a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the twentieth century was stated in the koran one thousand four hundred years ago of course the core iron is not a book of science however many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered with the technology  in order to understand the scientific miracle of the course we must first take a look at the level of science at the time when this holy book was revealed in the seventh century when the koran was revealed arab society had many superstitious and groundless belief scientific issues w lacking the technology to examine the universe and nature these early arabs believed in legends inherited from past generations supposed for example that mountains supported the sky above they believed that the world was flat and that there were high mountains both it since it was  the course which was revealed at a time when people knew very little about astronomy physics or biology contains key facts on a variety of subjects such as the creation of the  creation of the human being the structure of the atmosphere and the delicate balance is that make life on earth possible let us now take a look at some of the scientific truths revealed in the cor the conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe together with the dimensions of matter in time into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time event known as the big bang produced the entire universe about fifteen billion years ago creating it from nothingness as a result of the explosion of a single point scientific circles are in agreement that the big bang is the only rational and provable explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into being before the big bang there was no such thing as matter from a condition of nonexistence in which neither matter nor energy nor even time existed and which can only be defined metaphysically matter energy and time created this fact only recently discovered by modern physics was announced to us in the course one thousand four hundred years ago in the course which was revealed fourteen centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive the expansion of the universe was described like this the word heaven as stated in this verse is used in various places in the course with the meaning of space and universe here again the word is used with this meaning in other words and this is the very conclusion that science has reached today until the dawn of the twentieth century the only view prevailing in the world of science was that the universe has a constant n the creator and the ruler of the entire and the sun runs to its resting place that is the decree of the almighty the  or collide with an indeed it has been observed that some galaxies pass through each other with none of their components touching each other surely at the time the course was revealed humankind did not possess today's telescopes in addition the atmosphere filters the light rays coming from space that's a harmful to living beings interestingly the atmosphere lets only harmless and useful rai's visible light nea the survival of all living beings the majority of the intensive ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun are filtered out of the atmosphere and only a limited and essential part of the ultraviolet spectrum reaches the  the protective function of the atmosphere does not end here the atmosphere also protects the from the freezing cold of the space which is about minus two hundred seventy degrees centigrade radiation that threatens our planet the energy transmitted in just one of these flashes detected in recent years was calculated to be the equivalent to one hundred billion atomic bombs similar to the one dropped on hiroshima recently yet centuries ago we were informed in the koran about the world's atmosphere functioning as a protective sh by heaven with its cyclical this word interpreted as cyclical in crime translations also has meanings of sending back all returning as known the atmosphere surrounding the earth consists of many li possible over long distances the fact that this property of the sky which could only be scientifically discovered recently was declared centuries ago in the once again demonstrates th is he who created everything on the earth for you and then directed his attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens he has knowledge of all things the word heavens which appears in many verses in the course is used to refer to the sky of the earth as well as the entire universe given this meaning of the word it is seen that the earth sky o the atmosphere is made up of seven l scientists have found that the atmosphere consists of several layers the layers differ in such physical properties as pressure and the types of gases the layer of the atmosphere closest to earth is called the tr plural and dual forms days together are repeated thirty times the number of repetitions of the word move is twelve the word punishment is repeated one hundred seventeen times while the expression forgiveness which is one of the basic principles of the course arm is repeated exactly twice as many times the number of times the words world and hereafter are repeated is also the same one hundred fifteen the statement of seven heavens is repeated seven times the creation of the heavens is also repeated seven times the word faith in man without genitive is repeated twenty five times throughout the crowd as he's also the word infidelity or covering over the truth the expression the truly virtuous is used six times but libertine is used half as much three times human being is used sixty five times the s of the number of mentions of the stages of man's creation is the same far shows us an apparent fact the koran is such a book that all the news related in it has proved to be true and facts that no one could ever have known at everything and the almighty who encompasses everything with his knowledge in a verse god remarks on the koran if it had been from other than god they would have found many inconsistencies in it not only are there no inconsistency in the koran every piece of information it contains reveals the miracle of this divine book more and more each day what for most a man is to hold fast to this divine book revealed by god and receive it as his one and only guide in one of the verses god calls out to us and this is a book we sent down and blessed so follow it and have fear of god so that hopefully you will g
