Detailed meanings of the Scientific Words in the Scientific Verses in the Holy Quran using Lisan Al-Arab (The Arabs' (of old) Tongue) Dictionary and other similar dictionaries

It is very important to remember that Allah Almighty's choice of the Holy Words below was for a Divine Purpose and not just by chance. There were many other choices of words that Allah Almighty could've chosen, but He Chose the ones below because they carried far deeper meanings in them that only Science today was able to unveil and confirm. These Holy Words were used by Allah Almighty to describe how He, the Almighty, Created the Universe and many of the creations in it. The Holy Words are in perfect harmony with Science and with the way the Universe was truly created by Allah Almighty.

Important Note:

It is very important to remember that Allah Almighty's choice of the Holy Words below was for a Divine Purpose and not just by chance. There were many other choices of words that Allah Almighty could've chosen, but He Chose the ones below because they carried far deeper meanings in them that only Science today was able to unveil and confirm. These Holy Words were used by Allah Almighty to describe how He, the Almighty, Created the Universe and many of the creations in it. The Holy Words are in perfect harmony with Science and with the way the Universe was truly created by Allah Almighty.

The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

Note: When the Arabic word's meaning is listed only in English without Arabic and transliteration, then the word was taken from the Arabic-English dictionaries of Al-Mawrid [4] and Cowan [5].

"PROBING THE COSMIC WEB OF THE UNIVERSE: NEW LIGHT ON DARK ENERGY

ScienceDaily (Jan. 30, 2008) — Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope to measure the distribution and motions of thousands of galaxies in the distant Universe. This opens fascinating perspectives to better understand what drives the acceleration of the cosmic expansion and sheds new light on the mysterious dark energy that is thought to permeate the Universe.

.......

The technique is based on a well-known phenomenon, namely the fact that the apparent motion of distant galaxies results from two effects: the global expansion of the Universe that pushes the galaxies away from each other and the gravitational attraction of matter present in the galaxies' neighbourhood that pulls them together, creating the cosmic web


of large-scale structures." (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080130130650.htm)

Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:


Dr. Munir Munshey (one of www.answering-christianity.com's authors):

[044:009] Yet, (immersed) in doubt, they waste their time in pastimes.

[044:010] Watch out for the day when the sky would emit (vast volumes of) visible smoke!

[044:011] It would enshroud people. That is a painful punishment.

Transliteration:

[044:009] Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

ب 44:10 وم فارتق اتي ي ماء ت دخان الس ن ب مبي

ــذا النــــــــــاس يغشـــــى 44:11 ــم عـــــذاب هــــ اليـــــــ

So the explosion of the Galaxies and the Universe will produce an awesome amount of smoke, which is scientifically true as we saw in the previous pictures (above), and also as we see in the next pictures (below).

Furthermore, we read:


Khalifa: (why is he here?)

[055:036] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?

3/29/2009


[055:037] When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint.

[055:038] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?

اذا 55:37 قت ف ماء انش ت الس دهان وردة فكان آال

ــا االء فبـــــــاي 55:38 تآـــــــــــذبان ربآمـــــــ

Now obviously, a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a "Galaxie" explodes. It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms:

Allah Almighty further said:

The Noble Quran, again, in this Noble Verse and in many other Noble Verses, predicts the explosion of the Galaxies of the Universe.



Yusuf Ali:

[041:010] He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).

[041:011] Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."

[041:012] So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.

As Allah Almighty was creating the earth and the Universe, the Heaven was still a hot smoke. The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of ‘smoke’. This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’:

Figure 10: A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the ‘smoke’ that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, p. 50.)


Figure 11: The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.)

The following articles give a great deal of Miracles about the Earth's Astronomy:

The Big Bang Theory and the Cosmic Crunch in the Noble Quran.

The sun rays that we see during the day are different from the ones seen in space!

The Ozone layer is a protective ceiling to earth.

The 7 layers of earth and iron was sent down from space.

The breathing cycle during the day on planet earth by the plants, humans and animals - mentioned in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science!

Lack of Oxygen and painful low pressure in space. Science confirmed the Noble Quran's Divine Claim.

The Universe is "expanding" according to the Noble Quran. Scientists already proved this claim to be true.

The darkness of oceans and disappearance of light was mentioned in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science.

The Lunar Calendar is the most accurate calendar - mentioned in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science. Also the precise calculation of difference between the Gregorian and Lunar calendars is demonstrated in the Noble Quran.

Article #1:

The following reference from Wikipedia was sent to me by brother Mahir Karaosmanovic; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:


The site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Earth The location: "Future"

Future See also: Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth

The future of the planet is closely tied to that of the Sun. As a result of the steady accumulation of helium ash at the Sun's core, the star's total luminosity will slowly increase. The luminosity of the Sun will increase by 10 percent over the next 1.1 billion years (1.1 Gyr), and by 40% over the next 3.5 Gyr.[118] Climate models indicate that the rise in radiation reaching the Earth is likely to have dire consequences, including the possible loss of the planet's oceans.[119] The Earth's increasing surface temperature will accelerate the inorganic CO2 cycle, reducing its concentration to the lethal levels for plants (10 ppm for C4 photosynthesis) in 900 million years. But even if the Sun were eternal and stable, the continued internal cooling of the Earth would have resulted in a loss of much of its atmosphere and oceans (due to lower volcanism).[120] After another billion years the surface water will have completely disappeared.[121] The Sun, as part of its solar lifespan, will expand to a red giant in about 5 Gyr. Models predict that the Sun will expand out to about 99% of the distance to the Earth's present orbit (1 astronomical unit, or AU). However, by that time, the orbit of the Earth may have expanded to about 1.7 AUs because of the diminished mass of the Sun. The planet might thus escape envelopment by the expanded Sun's sparse outer atmosphere, though most (if not all) existing life will have been destroyed by the Sun's proximity to the Earth.[118] What happends when all oceans disappear? The herbage and growth will not get any rain on it because of the rain cycle being stoped

when no water exists on earth to "Send back" water as Allah allmighty explains in several verses!

Article #2:

"Life cycle Main articles: Formation and evolution of the solar system and Stellar evolution

The Sun's current main sequence age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.[7]

It is thought that about 4.59 billion years ago, the rapid collapse of a hydrogen molecular cloud led to the formation of a third generation T Tauri Population I star, the Sun. The nascent star assumed a nearly circular orbit about 26,000 light-years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.[8]

The Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation; at this rate, the Sun will have so far converted around 100 Earth-masses of matter into energy. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star.

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 5–6 billion years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen, entering the asymptotic giant branch of a planetary nebula phase in about 7.8 billion years, during which instabilities in interior temperature lead the surface of the sun to shed mass. While it is likely that the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position of Earth's orbit, recent research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red giant phase will cause the Earth's orbit to move further out, preventing it from being engulfed.[9] However, Earth's water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space. The increase in solar temperatures over this period is sufficient that by about 900 million years into the future, the surface of the Earth will become too hot for the survival of life as we know it.[10] After another billion years the surface water will have completely disappeared.[11]


Life-cycle of the Sun; sizes are not drawn to scale.

Following the red giant phase, intense thermal pulsations will cause the Sun to throw off its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. The only object that will remain after the outer layers are ejected is the extremely hot stellar core, which will slowly cool and fade as a white dwarf over many billions of years. This stellar evolution scenario is typical of low- to medium-mass stars.[9][12] " (Source)


Yusuf Ali:

[015:022] And We send the fecundating (or fertilizing) winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.

4- From a Muslim web site:

"Modern science tells us that the growth of clouds and precipitation require that the winds fertilize the clouds with a quantity of microscopic particles called condensation nuclei. The most important qualities of these seeds are that they draw water or dissolve into it. The winds also carry water vapor

3/29/2009


to the clouds so they will produce rain. The process goes on with the coming together of numerous particles of water in the atmosphere around these condensation nuclei. The smallest droplet of water is made up of at least 100 molecules. It is not easy for such a number to come together by mere coincidence without there being nuclei to precipitate upon. These particles are preserved. In this way, people have come to know that the Qur’anic verse points to how the winds fertilize the clouds with water vapor then with condensation nuclei as a precursor to the existence of rain. Allah says:

See you not that Allah drives the clouds gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap of layers and you see the rain comes forth from between them; and they are like mountains in the sky from which He sends down hail, and strikes therewith whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The vivid flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly blinds the sight.

Meteorologists say that rain requires the development of precipitating clouds. Among these rain clouds are cumulonimbus clouds that form in a vertical direction. They can extend upwards of twenty kilometers. These cumulonimbus clouds have three layers. The lowest level consists of growing drops of water. The middle layer contains water droplets having temperatures below freezing that are still in a liquid form. As for the highest layer, it is comprised of pure white ice crystals. Allah has made the water droplets that are above freezing unstable, capable of freezing by merely plunging into a solid body. This is why when ice crystals fall from the highest layer to the middle layer and meet with water that is above freezing, the crystals adhere to these droplets and freeze with them, swiftly increasing their size." (http://www.islamtoday.com/discover_islam.cfm?cat_id=6&sub_cat_id=42)

5- From Wikipedia: "Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs (also known as cloud seeds) are small particles (typically 0.0002 mm, or 1/100 th the size of a cloud droplet [1]) about which cloud droplets coalesce. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid. In the atmosphere, this surface presents itself as tiny solid or liquid particles called CCNs. When no CCNs are present, water vapour can be supercooled below 0 °C (32 °F) before droplets spontaneously form (this is the basis of the cloud chamber for detecting subatomic particles)." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_condensation_nuclei)

6- From Wikipedia:


"Coalescence is the process by which two or more droplets or particles merge during

contact to form a single daughter droplet (or bubble). It can take place in many processes, ranging from meteorology to astrophysics. For example, it is both involved in the formation of raindrops as well as planetary and star formation." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescence_(meteorology%29)

Allah Almighty further Says:


Yusuf Ali:

[023:018] And We send down water from the sky according to calculated measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).

When the date-tree branches begin to grow, they start out looking archy. As they continue to grow they start arching the other way from the bottom, giving them the look of an English letter S. When they become very old, and begin to dry and die, they would've reached their maximum growth, and in most cases, they resemble the English letter S.

Allah Almighty also Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[015:014] Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue


(all day) ascending therein,

Noble Verse(s) 70:3

Yusuf Ali:

[070:003] (A Penalty) from God, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.

Transliteration:

[070:003] Mina Allahi thee almaAAariji


ــن 70:3 ذي اهللا مـ المعــــــــــــارج

ارج رجون and المع .are partially translated here are ascend up يع

According to






the meaning of AARAJ means the following:

3/29/2009


.which is the root word: person who has a lame leg from a polio disease ,(a'aaraj) اعرج He walks lamely. Such person doesn't walk straight.

ان .the walk of the a'aaraj (mishyatu al-a'aaraj) مشية األعرج :(al-aarajan) العرج

رج ب :(al-aaraj) الع ال ان هو و , آالحق تقيم ول مخرج يس it means al-haqab, which البis when the ejecting of the urine is not straight and is curved (ال تقيم la يسyastaqeem).

رج ة :(al-aaraj) الع مس غيبوب ال و ,الش ا يق و إنعراجه رب نح ,the setting of the sun المغand it is said: it's inejaajuha towards the West, which means, it's curved or archy path towards the West.

ريج :(aaraja) عرج ع :(aareej) ع .raised and ascended up عال و إرتف

ريج عرج .made curvy or archy (mayyala) ميل :(aarraja taareeja) تع

ف :(al-munaaraj) المنعرج .a curved turn ahead (al-munaataf) المنعط

[So when Allah Almighty Says: اهللا ارج ذي it means that Allah Almighty is the , المعOne who Created the archy and curvy orbits and paths of the Universe. They are not straight shots! They are curvy. That's why Allah Almighty chose the Words عرج , رجون ارج , يع because they all speak about curvy routes to Heaven and not straight المعones.]

Furthermore, we read:

رج ئ إنع ف :('in'aaraja al-shaya) الش ال .يسرة و يمنة مال و إنعط رج :يق إنعر Something that curved to the right and to the left. It is said: the .النهriver رج which means the river curved to the right and to the left. It ,(in'aaraja) إنعis not straight.

اريج ر تع ه :(ta'aareej al-nahr) النه .the river's curving points (mun'atafatih) منعطفات

.to swerve, to zigzag, to follow a zigzag course :(aaraja) عرج

اريج .wavy lines :(ta'aareej) تع

.zigzag, winding :(munaaraj) منعرج

• Winding: snaking, snaky.


So when Allah Almighty Said:

ــر 36:39 ــتى منــــــــازل قــــــــــــدرناه والقمـــــــــ ــاد حــ عـــ ــالعرجون آــــــــــ القـــــــــــــديم

رج or عرج is derived from عرجون and it clearly means that the moon's orbit does ,إنعcurve to the right and the left, like the English-letter S!

Remember that the English language, and its letter S were not known to Arabia! And as our scientists today say that the moon orbits the earth in S-shaped loops, Allah Almighty also Said that the moon orbits the earth in dry and twisted date-tree branches loops, that curve to the right and to the left, which is S-loops.

3/29/2009


That is why Allah Almighty Said looking like AN OLD date tree branch.

Article #3:

"The Lunar Month

Another example of compound motions is the Lunar Month, which combines these two motions: 1. The orbit of the Moon around the Earth, which appears as an eastward motion relative to the stars. This takes about 27.3 days to complete one orbit with respect to the stars (the sidereal month). 2. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun, which causes the location of the Sun to slowly move eastward along the Ecliptic." (Source)

The moon's orbit around earth appears as an 'eastward motion.' So what is an eastward motion, in general, for any planet? It is an S-shaped orbit as the next article says.

Article #4:


"....the planet appears to speed up relative to the stars and begins moving faster than the stars toward the west, before it settles back into drifting once again toward the east each day. This sudden motion to the west is called "retrograde motion," since the planet seems to be regressing from its eastward drift. In this strange type of motion, the planet forms a looping or S-shaped path against the background of the stars...." (Source)

Article #5:

"precession of the equinoxes, westward motion of the equinoxes along the ecliptic. This motion was first noted by Hipparchus c.120 B.C. The precession is due to the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun on the equatorial bulge of the earth, which causes the earth's axis to describe a cone in somewhat the same fashion as a spinning top. As a result, the celestial equator (see equatorial coordinate system), which lies in the plane of the earth's equator, moves on the celestial sphere, while the ecliptic, which lies in the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, is not affected by this motion. The equinoxes, which lie at the intersections of the celestial equator and the ecliptic, thus move on the celestial sphere. Similarly, the celestial poles move in circles on the celestial sphere, so that there is a continual change in the star at or near one of these poles (see Polaris). After a period of about 26,000 years the equinoxes and poles lie once again at nearly the same points on the celestial sphere. Because the gravitational effects of the sun and moon are not always the same, there is some wobble in the motion of the earth's axis; this wobble, called nutation, causes the celestial poles to move, not in perfect circles, but in a series of S-shaped curves with a period of 18.6 years. There is some further precession caused by the gravitational influences of the other planets; this precession affects the earth's orbit around the sun and thus causes a shift of the ecliptic on the celestial sphere. The precession of the earth's orbital plane is sometimes called planetary precession, and that of the earth's equatorial plane (caused by the sun and moon) is called luni-solar precession; the combined effect of the moon, the sun, and the planets is called general precession. Planetary precession is much less than luni-solar precession. The precession of the equinoxes was first explained by Isaac Newton in 1687." (Source)

Noble Verse(s) 10:5

Yusuf Ali:

[010:005] It is He Who made the sun to be a (source of light) shining glory and the moon to be (reflecting to the) light (of beauty), and measured out stages for it; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did God create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.

Transliteration:

[010:005] Huwa allathee jaAAala alshshamsa diyaan waalqamara nooran waqaddarahu manazila litaAAlamoo AAadada alssineena waalhisaba ma khalaqa Allahu thalika illa bialhaqqi yufassilu al-ayati liqawmin yaAAlamoona


ــو 10:5 ــذين هـ ــل الــــــــ جعــ ــياء الشـــــــمس ضــــ ــر نـــــــورا والقمـــــــــ وقـــــــــدره ــوا منـــــــــازل ــدد لتعلمــــــــــــ ــنين عـــ ــاب الســـــــــ ــاخلق والحســــــــ اهللا مــــــ

ــك ــالحق اال ذلـــ ــل بـــــــ ــوم االيـــــــــــات يفصـــ يعلمــــــــــون لقــــــ

We find in Tafsir (interpretation of) Ibn Kahir, a prominent and leading Muslim scholar in the 13th century, the following about WHY THE MOON HAS DIFFERENT emittions OF LIGHT - from looking like a crecent, to a half moon to a full moon and all different shapes in between:

"The sun rises each day and sets at the end of the day, giving one kind of light all the time, but it moves, rising and setting at different points in the summer and winter, thus making the days and nights longer or shorter alternatively according to the season. Its authority is in the daytime, for it is the heavenly body that dominates the day. As for the moon, Allah has decreed that it should pass through different phases. At the beginning of the month, the moon appears small when it rises. It gives off little light, then on the second night its light increases and it rises to a higher position, and the higher it rises the more light it gives -- even though it is reflected from the sun -- until it becomes full on the fourteenth night of the month." (http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=36&tid=43568)

"He created the night with its darkness and the day with its light, and they alternate without ceasing. And He created the sun with its shining light, and the moon with its reflected light. and He allotted their stages and gave them separate orbits in the heavens." (http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=41&tid=46752......First big paragraph)


So why would Ibn Kathir come up with this statement, many centuries before man discovered that the earth was spherical and that the moon does indeed reflect the sun's light? Well, according to

1. Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1] , Book 3, Pages 805, 808.




5. Arabic-English dictionary the Hans Wehr dictionary [6], Page 1008, 1009.

ور .reveal, reflect (bayyan) بين :(noor) ن

تنار ه إس عاعة إستمد :(istanaara bihi) ب was supplied by its (istamadda shu'aaa'uh) شlight.

ار ان ان ع :(anaara al-makaan) المك ه وض ور في Put light (wada'aa feehi al-noor) النinto it, or reflected light off of it.

جرو نورت ارت الش يا ان ا نورها اخرجت :(nawwarat al-shajarah wa anaarat aydan) ض(akhrajat nooraha) The plant reflected the light off of itself, or it showed the light off of itself. However, plants, as we know, are not a source of light.

ار ت ان ن و ظهر :(anaara al-nabtu) النب the plant was revealed (tha-hara wa hasan) حسwell from light.

ور .be revealed, to be lighted, to receive light :(noor) ن

So clearly, when Allah Almighty Said that the sun is ياء ,a source of light ,(diyaa'a) ضand the moon a ورا :then clearly the moon , ن

1- Is reflecting to light, because it is عاعة إستمد as this is the ,(was supplied by light) شmeaning of تنار ور which is derived from the root word , إس .noor ن

2- Is reflecting to light, because it is ن و ظهر as , (was revealed well from light) حسthis is the meaning of ار ار as in , ان ت ان .النب

3- Is reflecting to light, because it receives light from the sun and it is lighted and revealed by it.

3/29/2009


So which light is the moon reflecting? It is reflecting to the sun's ياء .(diyaa'a) ضAgain, ذين هو ل ال مس جع ياء الش ر ض ورا والقم ورا and the moon is the noor , ن نto that diyaa' ياء !of the sun ض

Allah Almighty further Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[071:015] "'See ye not how God has created the seven heavens (of the earth, i.e., the 7 layers of our atmosphere) one above another,

[071:016] "'And made the moon a (reflecting) light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?

Transliteration:

ل 71:16 ر وجع ن القم ورا فيه ل ن مس وجع راجا الش س

In this Noble Verse, Allah Almighty talked about the earth's atmospher and its 7 layers revealing the sun's lights that come from the sun and are reflected off of the moon.

More on this in the Noble Quran soon, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).

Furthermore, when we look at ياء :we find out that according to ,(diyaa'a) ض








ياء وء :(diyaa'a) ض اء ما ,الض ك اض the light, and what it (al-dawa', ma adaa'a laka) لoriginated from light to you.

• The following poem proves that ــياء :refers to the original light (diyaa'a) ضــــ

ا اضاءت is اضاءت) The fire has originated إلتباسا ,بالفؤاد ,ملتبسا ,اغر وجها النار لنderived from ياء for us the light of a mighty glow, that will always be ( ضliked by the heart (or something like that).

Notice here that the fire is the originator and the source of the light. And notice how NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.

اء the original light stretched its (istamadda noorahu) نوره إستمد :('istadaa) إستضNOOR forth.

ام :(tadawwa'a) تضوأ ى ق ار بضوء ليرى ظلمة ف he got up during the darkness of اهلها النthe night to see from the light of the fire, the people in the place.

• Notice again how the fire in this sentence is the originator and the source of the light. And notice how NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.

وء .to gleam, radiate, to illumine, illuminate, to shed light, cast light :('dawa) ض

Allah Almighty further Said:



[024:035] Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. An example of its brilliance: there is a lamp in a luminous niche. The lamp is in a glass which itself gleams like a radiant star. It is lit by the oil of the blessed tree _ neither from the West nor the East. The oil of the lamp is ready to glow by itself even without being kindled. The bright luminous light is atop another brilliant light. Allah guides towards this light whomever He wants and Allah quotes this parable for the people. Allah is knowledgeable of all things!

For God has full knowledge of all things.


[058:007] Do you not realize that Allah knows everything in the heavens and on earth? Never is there a secret conference of three, where He is not the fourth (listening in); nor of five, where He is not the sixth (listening). Even when there are less (than three) or more than that number (holding secret talks), He is (always) with them no matter where they might happen to be. Later, on the Day of Judgment, He will tell them everything they had


done! Indeed, Allah knows every single thing!

As virtually every single English translator on my web site, http://www.quransearch.com/, have translated ADNA ى ,in this Noble Verse ادن58:7, to "lower" or "lesser", then based on what objective ground will we now reject the same translation of "lowest land" to be applied to Noble Verse 30:3?

According to

1. Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1] , Book 8, Page 256, 257.





Yes, Adna ى :does mean near or to bring nearer. But it also means ادن

ئ .of poor quality, second-rate, inferior :('daneea) دن

Also, according to

1. Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1] , Book 8, Pages 604-606.





Fi ي ي as in , ف ى ف االرض ادن , which was translated as "IN", also means:

So as we clearly see, the land which the Romans were defeated in were:

1- The lowest lands.

2- The most despicable lands, as the interpretation of Noble Verse 2:61 above, from Lisan Al-Arab dictionary, along with the many other proofs that I've provided clearly prove that ADNA means the LOWEST and MOST DESPISED.

3- At and near and around "ADNA" ى االرض "THE LAND" ادن . And what is this "land"? It is the most despicable and lowest land!

Important Note: Perhaps, that is why Allah Almighty preceded "land" ارض with the definite article THE ال, and didn't say: ى كم ادن near YOUR LAND! No, He, the ارضAlmighty, instead said ى االرض ادن - making the reference to a specific foreign land, which also happens to be the lowest and most despicable one.

So ADNA ى ,here is applied to the status of the land, making it despicable and lowest ادنand with the definite article THE ال , the defeat of the Romans happened near and around that referenced doomed piece of land.

3/29/2009


So to put it together in a simpler form, Noble Verses 30:2-3 should read:

The Romans had been defeated at near and around THE MOST DESPICABLE AND LOWEST LAND.

It just so happens that these lands were near the lowest spot on earth, the dead sea area, which is approximately 400 meters below the sea level, and which also happens to be the land where Sodom and Gomorrah were doomed in.

Asia

Encyclopedia Article ........ The continental mainland stretches from the southern end of the Malay Peninsula to Cape Chelyuskin in Siberia. Its westernmost point is Cape Baba in northwestern Turkey, and its easternmost point is Cape Dezhnyov in northeastern Siberia. The continent’s greatest width from east to west is 8,500 km (5,300 mi). The lowest and highest points on the Earth’s surface are in Asia, namely, the SHORE of the Dead Sea (408 m/1,340 ft below sea level in 1996) and Mount Everest (8,850 m/29,035 ft above sea level).

2- From http://www.dead-sea.net/f-cosmetics.htm:

The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on earth. It is also the richest in concentrated natural minerals, making the area a world - renowned natural health spa. The ancient world knew of the area's wondrous curative properties and throughout the ages people from the four corners of the earth have enjoyed its benefits.

3- From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea#In_Islam:

In Islam

In Islamic tradition, the Dead Sea was about the land in which the Prophet Lut (Lot in the Hebrew scriptures) lived. The people of the towns and cities were wicked for their acts of


homosexuality, raping men, robbery and murder and had therefore been given a punishment for such deeds. The punishment arrived when angels in the form of beautiful men were sent down by God as guests for Lut to host. When Lut's people heard of the men, they rushed to Lut's house to misbehave and rape the men. This was their final test which they failed so the angel Gabriel raised the land where the prophet's people lived, tipped it upside down and threw it back on earth, causing the ground near the impact to cave in. Thus, the lowest land on Earth was formed because of this punishment. The non-believers (in the monotheism doctrine) were destroyed and the followers were saved. According to some interpretations, the sura of ar-Rum of the Quran refers to the Dead Sea as the lowest place on Earth.[13][14]

Bedouin tribes have continuously lived in this area, and more recently explorers and scientists arrived to analyze the minerals and conduct research into the unique climate. Tourism in the region has been developed since the 1960s.

Recent History

The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves at Qumran at the Dead Sea. The world's lowest road, Highway 90, runs along the Israeli and West Bank shores of the Dead Sea at 393 m (1,289 ft) below sea level.

There are also health spas and hot springs along the shore, besides the unique water of the Dead Sea itself. A golf course named for Sodom and Gomorrah was built by the British at Kalia on the northern shore. The first major hotels were built in Israel, first at nearby Arad, and since the 1960s at the Neve Zohar resort complex. The Jordanian side has seen increasing development in recent years. For example, three international franchises have opened seaside resort hotels near the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center along the eastern coast of the Dead Sea. [15]

4- From http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/predictions_01.html:

INTRODUCTION

Another miraculous aspect of the Qur'an is its prediction of future events, all of which have so far been fulfilled. This is one of the proofs that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah. In the following pages, we will dwell on some of these events.

THE VICTORY OF BYZANTIUM

3/29/2009


An astonishing prediction is found in the first verses of Surat ar-Rum, which refers to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern part of the later Roman Empire: The Byzantine Empire, which had met with a great defeat, would soon gain victory.

Alif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will be victorious within three to nine years. The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the believers will rejoice. (Qur'an, 30:1-4)

These verses were revealed around 620, almost 7 years after the idolatrous Persians had severely defeated Christian Byzantium in 613-14. In fact, Byzantium had suffered such heavy losses that it seemed impossible for it even to survive, let alone be victorious again. Following their defeat of the Byzantines at Antioch in 613, the Persians seized control of Damascus, Cilicia, Tarsus, Armenia, and Jerusalem. The loss of Jerusalem in 614 was particularly traumatic for the Byzantines, for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed and the Persians seized the "True Cross," the symbol of Christianity.174 In addition, the Avars, Slavs, and Lombards also were posing serious threats to the Byzantine Empire. The Avars had reached as far as the walls of Constantinople. Emperor Heraclius ordered the gold and silver in churches to be melted and turned into money in order to meet the army's expenses. When this proved insufficient, bronze statues were melted down in order to mint more money. Many governors had revolted against Heraclius, and Byzantium was on the point of collapse.175 Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, which had earlier belonged to Byzantium, were invaded by the idolatrous Persians.176

The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest

region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level.

In short, everyone was expecting Byzantium to be destroyed. But during this time, the first verses of Surat ar-Rum were revealed, announcing that Byzantium would triumph in 3 to 9 years. This predicted victory seemed so impossible that the Arab polytheists thought it would never come true.


Like all the other predictions in the Qur'an, however, this one also came true. In 622, Heraclius gained a number of victories over the Persians and conquered Armenia.177 In December 627, the two empires fought a decisive battle at Nineveh, some 50 kilometres east of the Tigris river, near Baghdad. This time too, the Byzantine army defeated the Persians. A few months later, the Persians had to sue for peace with Byzantium, which obliged them to return the territories they had taken from it.178

The Byzantine victory was completed when Emperor Heraclius defeated the Persian ruler Khosrow II in 630, recaptured Jerusalem, and regained the "True Cross" for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.179 In the end, "the victory of the Romans" proclaimed by Allah in the Qur'an miraculously came true within the verses' stated "three to nine years" time frame.

Another miracle revealed in these verses is the announcement of a geographical fact that could not have been known by anyone at that time: that the Romans had been defeated in the lowest region of Earth. This Arabic expression adna al-Ard is interpreted as "a nearby place" in many translations. However, this is not the literal meaning, but rather a figurative interpretation. The word adna, derived from the word dani (low), means “the lowest”. The word ard means “the world.” Therefore, adna al-ard means "the lowest place on Earth."

Some interpreters of the Qur'an, considering the closeness of the region in question to the Arabs, prefer the "closest" meaning of the word. However, the actual meaning indicates a very important geological fact: The Dead Sea, one of the regions in

which the Byzantines were defeated in 613-14, is the lowest region on Earth.180

As stated earlier, for Christian Byzantium, the loss of the True Cross was the heaviest blow in that defeat in Jerusalem, located near the shores of the Dead Sea.

The Byzantines and the Persians actually fought at the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. At 399 meters below sea

of the Dead Sea could only be determined with modern

measurement techniques. These measurements led to the

discovery that this region is the "lowest region on the Earth."

3/29/2009


level, the Dead Sea is the "lowest" place on Earth's surface.181

However, as only modern measuring methods and equipment can prove this fact, it would have been impossible for anyone living at that time to realise this truth. Yet, the Qur'an states clearly that this region was the "lowest land" on Earth and thereby provides further evidence that it is the Word of Allah.

5- From http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/archive/article.php?lang=E&id=47513:

".....When we investigated the lowest part of the earth, we found that it was exactly the same spot that witnessed the battle in which the Romans were defeated. When we informed Professor Palmer about this, he contested saying that there were many other areas, which are lower than the one referred to in the Qur'anic verse. He gave examples and names of other areas in Europe and in the United States. We assured him that our information was verified and correct. He had with him a topographical globe that showed elevations and depressions. He said that it would be easy with that globe to ascertain which was the lowest spot on earth. He turned the globe with his hands and focused his sign on the area near Jerusalem. To his astonishment, there was a small arrow sticking out towards that area with words: "the lowest part on the face of the earth." Professor Palmer was quick to concede that our information was correct. He proceeded to speak, as you now see him with the globe, saying that this was actually the lowest part of the earth....."

3/29/2009


Planet earth is indeed the best planet in our Solar System. It is the only planet that has water, life and Paradise-like Scenic Views. The others are dead planets with no life like that of earth's exists on them. See my notes about this below.

:ROUND and SPHERICAL :(daha) دحا

• In Prophet Muhammad's Hadith: اي مندح بطنن ألسامة آان ــع Osama had متســــa round and big tummy.

ة :(daha) دحا ة أي الدوح ة المظل Al-Doha, as in Qatar's capital, means a big العظيمumbrella.

• Allah Almighty also Said that He made the earth's sky a ceiling to us.




ا 21:32 ماء وجعلن قفا الس ا س عن وهم محفوظا ون اياته معرضNoble Verse(s) 52:5


قف 52:5 رفوع والس الم

For more proofs, please visit: The Ozone layer is a protective ceiling to earth. So when Allah Almighty Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[079:030] And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

[079:031] He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;


ــد واالرض 79:30 ــك بعــــ ذلـــ ــا دحاهـــــــ

ومرعاها ماءها منها اخرج 79:31

It also means that Allah Almighty Made a protective ceiling or umbrella for the earth, which without it, NO WATER COULD POSSIBLY EXIST ON EARTH!

So based on all of these meanings, what do we find? We find that:

1- The earth is a moving object that was pushed or thrown by Allah Almighty into space.

3/29/2009


2- The earth is a qurs and indahhat and is dihdaaha, which means it is a round and a spherical object.

3- The earth has expanded, and from that expansion, all of the huge bodies of water that we have today from oceans, seas, lakes and rivers were extracted AND/OR FORMED from the earth with the aid of its protective atmosphere.

4- The earth is mad-hooha ( مدحوحا ), which is balanded and evened.

5- The earth is dihya, which means it is the best among its group. This is true since all of the planets in our solar system are pretty much similar to our moon. They are lifeless and have no life and no water in them. Earth, on the other hand, has (1) ample water, which is why it is called the BLUE PLANET, (2) ample life, and even (3) Paradise-like views and nature in places such as Hawaii, Alaska, the Carribeans, places in Europe, Asia, Africa etc...

6- The earth is also dahdah and dahdaah, which means it is round and compressed.

7- The earth has a protective umbrella and ceiling above it.

All of this perfectly fits our planet earth! And even if we just take the EXPANDED interpretation alone and leave out the rest, then Noble Verses 79:30-31 are still quite Miraculous because, indeed the waters that we have today all came to existence in such a large and massive quantity ONLY AFTER THE EARTH BEGAN TO EXPAND with of course the aid of our protective atmosphere; all working together.

Other Noble Verses that say the earth is moving and suspended in space:


Yusuf Ali:


[077:025] Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together (moving fast in space and is encompassing to all of its creatures and it has the ability to create and recreate).

[077:026] The living and the dead,

• Allah Almighty did say: "And We send the fertilizing winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky...(The Noble Quran, 15:22)"

• Allah Almighty also Said: "He causes the living to emerge from the dead, and brings the dead out of the living...(The Noble Quran, 30:19)"

Indeed, the earth:

1- Is running in space.

2- Is rotating around its own axle.

3- Has the means to create life and/or to have life fertilized and multipled in it.


4- And it does CONTAIN its creatures and it does maintain their life and means of living for them.

5- Notice how in Noble Verse 77:26, it says:

اء 77:26 ا احي .The living and the dead واموات

Indeed, the earth is encompassing to both the dead and the living, and it does create the living and recreates the dead, all through Allah Almighty's Divine Will, Mercy, Design and Wisdom.

That is why I translated kifaata in Noble Verse 77:26 to: moving fast in space and is encompassing to all of its creatures and it has the ability to create and recreate. The word encompasses all of these meanings, and all of them PERFECTLY FIT the description of earth!



Yusuf Ali:

3. Al-Muajam Al-Waseet dictionary [3], Page.



وم ام is derived from :(taqoom) تق ى الهمة which means ,(qiyam) قي يئ إل al-himmah) شila shaya'), which means moving firmly towards something.

the meaning of His, the Almighty, Saying ISTAQAAMU نبيه سنة ولزموا بطاعته عملواmeans they firmly executed His Will and Commands and followed the Ways of His Prophet.

ــي أي (The Noble Quran, 41:6) اليـــــــــه فاســـــــــــــــــتقيموا • فـ ــه التوجـــــــــ means head towards him, Allah Almighty. Of course, by going to the إليـــــــــهMosque to Pray, by paying Charity, by to going to Mecca for pilgrimage, etc...

ام .Qaama: to get up, to perform, do, carry out, execute, practice, exercise, run ق

Now it is also mentioned in Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1], Book 7, Page 456:

ام وف means :(al-qiyaam) القي ات و الوق which means standing and remaining الثبstill.

My simple response to this is the following:


1- Yes indeed, the planet earth is standing still according to our bodies and it is indeed balanced! Otherwise, we would all perish!

2- But however, since it was a known fact that the celestial bodies in Heaven such as the SUN, MOON, SHOOTING STARS and others were all moving bodies, then it is obviously safe to also accept this meaning about the earth also moving to apply to Noble Verse 30:25, especially when we already know that the earth was mentioned to be ROUND and WAS PUSHED and THROWN INTO SPACE, as I already thoroughly demonstrated earlier (above) in the word DAHAHA.

So it is safe to accept the word taqoom وم in Noble Verse 30:25 to mean both FIXED تقIN THEIR MOVING COURSES, and for the earth to be standing still AND BALANCED for the creatures that live on it for the following reasons:

1- The earth and heaven were mentioned together in the same Noble Verse.

2- We know that the Heaven is full of curvy and wavy orbits as I discussed in ARJOON AND MA'AARIJ earlier (above).

3- We know that the earth is round and is pushed and thrown in space by Allah Almighty as I discussed in DAHAHA earlier (above).

4- As to the earth being standing still, obviously, to us, it is standing still and it is BALANCED! Otherwise, we would all perish! More on this when we discuss the function of the mountains in the Noble Quran and how they prevent the earth from swaying while it is rotating around its own axle, in the Noble Quran.

(The following Noble Verse was suggested to me by brother Mahir Karaosmanovic, may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him)

And then the Prophet AWDA'AA (began to jog) أوضـــــع in the vallley of mahsar. Abu Ubaida said: ــاع اإليضـــــــــ(al-idaa'aa) is the walking in a form of khabab (jogging [6], page 224).

ع :wada'aa وضع رع و عدا أي وضعا يض yada'o wadaan means ran and أسspeeded.


رع :wada'aa وضع .increased his speed أس

So as we clearly and indesputably see, وضع wada'aa clearly refers to an action. This action has to do with: (1) Carrying, (2) Speeding, and (3) Walking.

All of this perfectly fits our planet earth! Yes indeed, 55:10 واالرض عها ام وض It لالنis He Who has set the earth on a moving course for (His) creatures.


Noble Verse(s) 55:7

Yusuf Ali:

[055:007] And the Firmament has He raised high (raised it on a moving course) , and He has set up the Balance (in it) (of Justice),


ــماء 55:7 ــا والســــــــــ و رفعهـــــــ ــيزان وضـــع المـــــــــــ

Notice again how وضع wada'aa is referring to the balance of the orbital systems in the Universe. Here, this Noble Verse is referring to the gravitational balance that keeps the orbits of the Galaxies, their Solar Systems, their Planets and their Moon's in place, and not falling into a massive disarray and out of order and colliding with each others on a large and massive scale!

If we examine, for instance, our beautiful Solar System's orbital system and the balance of its planets and their moon's around our star, the sun, and around each others (the moons orbiting around their own planets), then we'll see the beautiful and powerful BALANCE that Allah Almighty has put to keep us SAFE! Otherwise, our moon would've probably been the first planet to collide with us. Notice again how وضع wada'aa here perfectly describes that balance in our MOVING UNIVERSE! So it's the Balance in the Moving Celestial Bodies' orbits, and in their Solar Systems' Orbits, and in their Galaxies' Orbits and so on.

So why would Allah Almighty say that the mountains are moving like the clouds?

We know that the mountains look quite fixed. Not even earth quakes can move them from their places! So why would Allah Almighty say that they are passing like the passing of the clouds?

1- Because like in Dahaha دحاها and wadaAAha عها which both mean that the earth ,وضis moving on a fixed course, tamurru marra ر further supports this by saying that ,مر تمeven the heavy and fixed mountains that look idol and impossible to move, and indeed moving!

2- Like in Dahaha دحاها , where it means to expand, the expansion of the earth did indeed cause, and is still causing, for the mountains to move! Not only mountains, but ENTIRE CONTINENTS moving or drifting away from each others as the earth started to split when it expanded. Remember that the earth used to be one jigsaw puzzle and then started to expand.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali have translated مهادا mihaada to mean "a wide expanse". However, in the following Noble Verses, he translated the root word for مهادا mihaada to mean "cradle":


Yusuf Ali:

[019:029] But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

Yusuf Ali:

[020:053] "He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.

Yes, مهد (mahd) does mean to spread out. But it also means:

ــزازة • .the rocker or rocking الهـــــــــــ

ــي طفال يهز او يضع • ــد فـ مهـــ puts or rocks the baby in the mahd (cradle).


.bed :(mahaad) مهاد

Is the bed here a rocking bed or a fixed one? The following pictures about the cosmos will clearly prove that the earth's axial tilt and rotation around the sun indeed resemble a rocking bed:

Let us now look at our planet earth's "Axial Tilt" that makes it look like a cradle:

So indeed, the earth being a مهاد (mihaad) does mean that it is like a rocking cradle, since its root, مهد (mahd), means just that.

[035:041] It is God Who sustains the heavens and the earth, lest they cease (to function) (stray from their fixed paths and fall into complete destruction): and if they should fail stray, there is none - not one - can sustain them thereafter: Verily He is Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.

Indeed, if there was no balance in the gravitational pulls in the Universe, the earth and the Universe would've strayed away into complete disarray and total destruction. It is indeed due to Allah Almighty's Mercy and Will that the earth's moving course in the Universe is under full control from Allah Almighty.

The following article was taken from http://www.islam-guide.com/frm-ch1-1-b.htm, and is also from "A Brief Illustration Guide To Understanding Islam" book that I recently bought, http://www.islam-brief-guide.org/, library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 97-67654, ISBN: 9960-34-011-2.

THE QURAN ON MOUNTAINS:

A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots. [1] These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and 9).

Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)


Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.)

Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.)

This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:

Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)

Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground. [2] So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ‘peg,’ since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century. [3]

3/29/2009


Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. [4] They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:

And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)

Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s. [5]

Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad have known of the true shape of mountains? Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology, when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quranic verses.

Higher mountains are compensated by deeper roots. (6)

The Quran says:

“ Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse And the mountains As PEGS?”

[Al-Quran 78:6-7]

Pegs have deep roots under the surface of the ground like Mountains. Thus Quran gives the accurate example of Mountains.

4- Embryology of animals and humans:

Allah Almighty Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[016:066] And verily in cattle (too) will ye find an instructive sign. From what is within their bodies between excretions (digested food) and blood, We produce, for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it.

3/29/2009



م وان 16:66 ي لك ام ف برة االنع قيكم لع ي مما نس ه ف ن من بطون رث بي ا ودم ف لبنا ائغا خالص ا س نللش ربي

According to






رث :means (farth) ف

رث رجين :(farth) ف ي دام ما الس رش ف The processed food as long as it is in the الكgut.

رث رقين :(farth) ف رش س .the digested food in the gut (sirqeen al-karsh) الك

ت رش افرث ققتها اذا :(afrathat al-karsh) الك when the gut is split (itha shaqaq-taha) شopen.

• It is said: ــا ــا ويفرثهـــــــــــ ــثر ثــــم شـــــــقها اذا فرثــــــ ــع نــــ ــا جميــــ مــ ــا اذافيهــــــــا فرقهـــــــ , He yafrithuha farthan which means when he splits the

gut open and scatters everything in it out.

So when Allah Almighty Said that He Makes milk FROM BETWEEN the FARTH and the blood, He clearly and indesputably Said that He Creates the milk from the material that comes from the DIGESTED FOOD such as minerals, calcium, protein, etc... and blood.

Furthermore, FARTH IS NOT DUNG! ROUTH is dung or feces.

: األنعام ضروع في ودم فرث بين من اللبن تكون : ثانيا غذاء من يستمد ذلك وآل . والماء , والفيتامينات , العناصر من والعديد , والدهون , والكربوهيدرات , البروتينات من أساسا اللبن يتكون


(http://www.elnaggarzr.com/index.php?l=ar&id=368&p=2&cat=384)

My translation:

Second: The formation of milk from between FARTH and blood inside the cattle:

Milk is essentially formed from proteins, carbohydrates, fat, and many other elements, and vitamins and water. And all of this is extracted from the animal's nutrition (food), drink and blood, which this Noble Verse has described through Allah Almighty's Statement: "from between FARTH رث and blood." And the FARTH is the فsubstances that are eaten and are not completely digested in the gut, and because of that it (the farth) is sometimes also called the gut's load (food), and when it is extracted from the gut it is called ROUTH.

(End of translation)

Also, according to

1. Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1] , Book .






Dung: روث routh.

.dung, droppings, to drop dung :(routh) روث

Article #1 (from wikipedia):

"The carbohydrate lactose gives milk its sweet taste and contributes about 40% of whole cow milk's calories. Lactose is a composite of two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. In nature, lactose is found only in milk and a small number of plants (McGee 17). Other components

3/29/2009


found in raw cow milk are living white blood cells, mammary-gland cells, various bacteria, and a large number of active enzymes (McGee 16).

"White blood cells in Milk- Milk contains varying levels of white blood cells, depending upon the health of the source animals;....

"No study has ever conclusively demonstrated that the levels of white blood cells found in normal milk actually pose any health risk to normal individuals. The concept of pus in one's milk is somewhat reviling, but evidence for an impact on health is not existent....

"In addition, the cows frequently contract an udder infection known as mastitis, partly responsible for the aforementioned prevalence of blood cells in dairy products." (Source)

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk)

Article #2:

"Milk Biosynthesis Milk is synthesized in the mammary gland. Within the mammary gland is the milk producing unit, the alveolus. It contains a single layer of epithelial secretory cells surrounding a central storage area called the lumen, which is connected to a duct system. The secretory cells are, in turn, surrounded by a layer of myoepithelial cells and blood capillaries.

Udder, Alveolus, Secretory Cell: 26 KB

The raw materials for milk production are transported via the bloodstream to the secretory cells. It takes 400-800 L of blood to deliver components for 1 L of milk.

• Proteins: building blocks are amino acids in the blood. Casein micelles, or small aggregates thereof, may begin aggregation in Golgi vesicles within the secretory cell.

• Lipids: o C4-C14 fatty acids are synthesized in the cells o C16 and greater fatty acids are preformed as a result of rumen hydrogenation

and are transported directly in the blood • Lactose: milk is in osmotic equilibrium with the blood and is controlled by lactose, K,

Na, Cl; lactose synthesis regulates the volume of milk secreted


The milk components are synthesized within the cells, mainly by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and its attached ribosomes. The energy for the ER is supplied by the mitochondria. The components are then passed along to the Golgi apparatus, which is responsible for their eventual movement out of the cell in the form of vesicles. Both vesicles containing aqueous non-fat components, as well as liquid droplets (synthesized by the ER) must pass through the cytoplasm and the apical plasma membrane to be deposited in the lumen. It is thought that the milk fat globule membrane is comprised of the apical plasma membrane of the secretory cell.

Milking stimuli, such as a sucking calf, a warm wash cloth, the regime of parlour etc., causes the release of a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is relased from the pituitary gland, below the brain, to begin the process of milk let-down. As a result of this hormone stimulation, the muscles begin to compress the alveoli, causing a pressure in the udder known as letdown reflex, and the milk components stored in the lumen are released into the duct system. The milk is forced down into the teat cistern from which it is milked. The let-down reflex fades as the oxytocin is degraded, within 4-7 minutes. It is very difficult to milk after this time."

• Note from me, Osama Abdallah: The Arabs 1,400 years ago were not scientific. They didn't know that a single sperm from man's semen going into the woman's egg forms the fetus. Yet as we see, Nutfa means exactly a single entity from among its group. This is obvious since Allah Almighty obviously didn't refer to the sperm as a gold-karat!

اج ة :(amshaaj) امش اء مختلط رأة بم mingled with the woman's semen and دمها و المblood.

Again, the Arabs had no knowledge about science. But however, as we've seen above, NUTFAH ة means one from among a group, like a single karat from among a نطفgroup of karats, and a single drop of water from a small amount of water. This is indisputable, and therefore, it is safe to say that when Allah Almighty said that He Created man from Nutfah, He meant a single sperm from the flowing semen.



Yusuf Ali:

[023:012] Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay) a flowing liquid that is originally created from clay;

[023:013] Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed (that's the woman's egg);

[023:014] Then We made Created the sperm into a clot of congealed blood (that is a leech-like substance); then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the best to create!

Remember again that اللة الل is a singular of the plurals (sulaalah) س (sulaal) سand/or الالت .(sulaalat) س

Notice the Miraculous Beauty of Allah Almighty's Holy Words:

1- Man is created and determined from a single flowing اللة .that is the SPERM ,س

2- Then Allah Almighty Made man a MINGLED NUTFAH (SPERM...ة اج نطف ,(امشwhich is a mingled, single, stationed and secured SPERM inside the egg (م اه ث جعلنة ي نطف رار ف ن ق رار-m ;(مكي ن ق is the female's protected and protective BASE مكي(i.e., egg).

The respiratory system has developed to the point where gas exchange is possible.

So when Allah Almighty Said:

[053:046] From a sperm drop that is emitted and is penetrating;

ة من 53:46 نى اذا نطف تم

[075:037] Was he not a drop of fluid, emitted forth and is penetrating?

م 75:37 ك ال ة ي ني من نطف نى م يم

Allah Almighty Had Spoken a Divine Statement that is today in perfect agreement with Science! Indeed, the male's NUTFAH (sperm) strikes the female's egg with penetration. The NUTFAH is indeed a penetrating one that "strikes" and "cuts" through the egg to make fertilization. That is why Allah Allah Almighty in both Noble Verses, 53:45, 75:39, talked about the formation of both sexes: the male and the female, and said that it is the "penetrating," "striking," "cutting," (نى ة) NUTFAH (يم sperm) that ,نطفdetermines them.

We're already seen above that MANA (نى ,directly and literally means to strike, cut (مand penetrate.

The three Veils of darkness and Stages of the fetus' development:

Noble Verse(s) 39:6

3/29/2009


Yusuf Ali:

[039:006] He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes Creates you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is God, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?


م 39:6 س من خلقك م واحدة نف ل ث زل زوجها منها جع م وان ام من لك ة االنع ازواج ثمانيم ي يخلقك ون ف اتكم بط ا امه د من خلق ق بع ي خل ات ف الث ظلم م ث اهللا ذلك م ربك

ه ك ل ه المل اال الال انى هو رفون ف تص

According to Prof. Keith Moore these three veils of darkness in the QUR'AN refer to

1- Anterior abdominal wall of the mother.

2- The uterine wall.

3- The amnio-chorionoic membrane.

Also, in the field of Embryology, it is stated that the fetus goes through three distinct developmental stages in his mother's womb:

1- Pre-Embryonic, first 2 1/2 weeks.

2- Embryonic, until the end of the 8th week.

3- Fetal, from the 8th week to labor.

Finger Tips or Prints are unique to every person:

ــي الفــــــــــــراء قــــــال • ــالي قولــــــــه فـ ــفعنتعـــــــ ــيه لنســــــــ بالناصـــــــــــــ " " ــيته ــه مقدمـــــــــه ناصــــــــ راســــ

The Furaa' said that in Allah Almighty's Noble Verse " ــفعن لنســــــــــيه ــيته ,(we will certainly smite his forehead) "بالناصـــــــــــــ HIS ناصــــــــNAASIYAH is the forehead.


ق • ــد الناصـــــــــــــيهاالزهـــــــــــري ال ــعر منبــــــت العــــــــرب عنـــ الشــــــ : ــي الــــــــراس مقدمـــــــــه فـ

The Azhari said: THE NAASIYAH الناصـــــــــــــيه to the Arabs (of old) is the place where the hair grows on the beginning of the head (i.e., the forehead).

Figure 12: Functional regions of the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral cortex. (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210.)

Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn’t the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness?

If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, “The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex...” [1] Also the book says, “In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression....” [2]

3/29/2009


So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran has said, “...A lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)!”

Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [3]

(3) Al-E’jaz al-Elmy fee al-Naseyah (The Scientific Miracles in the Front of the Head), Moore and others, p. 41.

5- Numerical Miracles in the Holy Quran:

Odd and Even Numerical Miracle in the Holy Quran. A very STUNNING Divine Miracle!!!

Iron's atomic number is perfectly mentioned in the Holy Quran.

For far more Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran, please visit: The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran section.


6- So why didn't the early Muslims interpret the Holy Quran with these meanings then??

Well, the answer to this question is actually very simple. Were the early Muslims, whose the vast majority of them were illiterate Farmers, Sheppards and Bedouins, Scientists? How could they have possibly comprehended that, for instance, as you are standing on earth right now, you are actually not standing ON EARTH, but rather on the side of the earth, and that under your feet, on the opposite side of the world, there are people who are standing like you and opposite of you, and they are under you and you are under them? And yet, none of you just slips off or falls off into space. How could've that been comprehensible to them?

How could you possibly have convinced them of something like this? It's impossible! Heck, even until Christopher Columbus discovered the United States of America, only few centuries ago, the vast majority of the world still believed that the earth was flat. I personally strongly believe that even Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, may not fully understand what was really revealed to him from Science and Divine Miracles. Again, the choice of these Words is Miraculous indeed. Allah Almighty could've used more straight forward words with limited meanings. The sample Holy Verses above were simply Revealed for us today, to discover, and to ponder upon with amazement. As Allah Almighty clearly Said in the Holy Quran:

"We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

From Jamshaid Zubairee:

Actually the answer is quite easy. See the example as you are an English man but it doesn’t mean that you can understand every book written in English even you may be able to read it. But you can never understand it unless you have knowledge of that field. (If it was the case then every American were a scientist & scholar). If you still don’t understand it then go to library and pick a professianl book of space sciences or genetic engineering and read…..

So the same was the case with Arabs. They could not understand everything written in Arabic.

Plus Holy Quran is NOT a text book of science and its pupose was NOT to make the Arabs make the scientists but basically it is a religious book that provides guidance for all problems of life (it does not deal with their techinal details, for that search hadith).

3/29/2009


Scienticfic information is an aspect of revelation to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. If its purpose was to make the Arabs scieticts the then Ominipotent God almighty was able to do this also but He didn’t did this because it was NOT his aim.

That is why I do not even want you to worry about including either my name, Osama Abdallah, or my site's name, http://www.answering-christianity.com/, on your article. You are FREE, before Allah Almighty, to distribute it as you see best serving to Islam. No sin will be upon you regarding stealing my work, insha'Allah.

And no, it is not among the best because I wrote it. I just love the overwhelming definitions, and was stunned by these Encyclopedic dictionaries that I purchased. Let us show the infidels what Islam and the Divine Miracles of Islam are like. They desperately need it!

As to the other articles on my site, I grant you full permission to use them and distribute them AS YOU PLEASE, as long as you, at the very least, mention the location of the article on the site (the URL of the article) in your document and for every reference.

May Allah Almighty greatly bless you. Ameen.

Your brother in Islam, Osama Abdallah http://www.answering-christianity.com/
