Al Quran contains numerous physical sciences for the Guidance of Human Beings.

Your Allah is one Allah; there is no god but Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's sovereignty) for people who have sense.

(Al Baqarah, verse 163:164)

The same Ayah (as a typical Ayah of Al Quran) mentions many sciences in it including:

• Biology (Zoology, Botany and Embryology etc)

• Astronomy

• Water Cycle

There are numerous other sciences in Al-Quran including Chemistry, Physics, Geology etc. which can be revealed on detailed study of the holy book.

AstronomyAstronomyAstronomy, the most marvelous and thought provoking branch of science, dealing with the study of heavenly bodies, is one of the major sciences discussed in Al Quran and appears at innumerable occasions including Sura Al-Rahman, Sura Yaseen, Sura Al-e-Imran, Sura Noah, Sura Al-Furqan).

A few Ayahs of Al Quran are selected below to enlighten only few aspects of astronomy discussed in the book.

LUMINOSITY OF SUN & LUMINOSITY OF SUN & BRIGHTNESS OF MOONBRIGHTNESS OF MOON

See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony.And hath made the moon a light therein (for earth) and made the sun a lamp? (Sura Noah, Verse 15-16)

Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light! (Sura Al-Furqan, Verse 61)

THE BIG BANGTHE BIG BANG

Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loath. They said: We come, obedient. (Sura Ha-meem Al-Sajda, verse 11)

• This Ayah has very briefly narrated the creation of this universe (as given by the Big Bang theory) and has used the word “smoke” for now called state of matter “Gas” so that it could be understandable to the readers of Quran 1400 years ago.

EmbryologyEmbryologyEmbryology is the branch of biology which deals with the studies of genes and embryos.

Genetic Engineering is an advanced field of embryology.

Embryology has also been referred several times in Al-Quran to realize the man his essence and to remind him his duties.

Then fashioned we the drop a clot, then fashioned we the clot a little lump, then fashioned we the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh. (Sura Al-mo’minoon, verse14)

Glory be to Him who created pairs of all the things which the earth grows and of their own kind and that of which they have no knowledge.

Water CycleWater CycleWater Cycle is described on various occasions in Al Quran (including Sura Al-roum, Sura Al-mo’minoon), in the same way the science of present age describes it.

• It must be noticed that this cycle was not remotely known 1400 years before the present day when Allah Almighty revealed this book to Prophet (S.A.W).

Allah is He who blows the winds; these winds (evaporate water and) form clouds, then He spreads them over the sky one over other as He wills; then you see the rain falling from within these clouds; then he makes this water reach his slaves as He pleases and they become joyful. (Sura Al-roum, verse 48)

We shall soon show them our signs, in their surroundings as well as in their bodies until it dawns upon them that this (book, Al Quran) is truthful.
