Scientists comments on the Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran.
1) Dr. T. V. N. Persaud, Professor of Anatomy, Professor of
Pediatrics and Child Health, and Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology,
and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Manitoba,
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Says...
“The way it was explained to me is that Muhammad (sallallahoAlaiheWasallam) was a very
ordinary man. He could not read, didn’t know [how] to write. In
fact, he was an illiterate. And we’re talking about twelve [actually
about fourteen] hundred years ago. You have someone illiterate
making profound pronouncements and statements and that are
amazingly accurate about scientific nature. And I personally can’t
see how this could be a mere chance. There are too many
accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, *I have no difficulty in my mind
that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these
statements.*”
2) Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor
College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Formerly, he was
Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of
Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee,
USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility Society.
He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors
of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award
in 1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of
the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahoAlaiheWasallam) :
*-In every one of you, all components of your creation are
collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...
*-If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, Allah
sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing,
vision, skin, flesh, and bones...*
He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahoAlaiheWasallam)
extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly
distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly
impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings
of the Prophet Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he
gave the following opinion:
“So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provide us with a specific time table
for the main embryological development before forty days. Again,
the point has been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this
morning: these hadeeths could not have been obtained on the basis
of the scientific knowledge that was available [at] the time of their
writing . . . . It follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict
between genetics and religion but, in fact, religion can guide
science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific
approaches, that there exist statements in the Quran shown centuries
later to be valid, which support knowledge in the Qur’an
having been derived from Allah.”
