SCIENTIFIC MIRACLES IN THE HOLY QUR’AN UNIT- 2
LESSON- 2<br>
02
Define the concept of Scientific miracle. LEARNING OBJECTIVES To explain the benefits of scientific miracles.<br>
03
The Qur’an is the greatest miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and this linguistic miracle is a supernatural thing coupled with a challenge made by Allah as evidence of the truthfulness of his messenger. However no challenges were posed for the various scientific miracles in the Holy Qur’an at that time because based on the knowledge at that time, it was not possible to prove the Quranic claims as the scientific knowledge itself for testing these claims was insufficient at the time of their occurrence.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: The Qur’an can never be exhausted by the plenitude of reputation of its recitation, and its wonders shall never cease. 3 THE CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC INIMITABILITY Some scholars wrote scientific commentaries on the Qur’an, not because the Qur’an needs proofs, but to help to understand the normal people regarding the indications of the holy verses.<br>
04
The Quran Includes many verses related to the universe, speaking about the creation of human beings, plants, animals, stars, heaven and earth. Therefore, we find in it all aspects of the scientific miracles according to the previous definition. About this we can say the Qur’an details scientific miracle in the seas, astronomy, medicine and the like. Thus the fields of scientific inimitability as detailed in the Qur’an are numerous and diverse. 4 FIELDS OF SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE AND INIMITABILTY IN THE QUR’AN<br>

10 THE MERITS OF SCIENTIFIC MIRACLES To prove the authenticity of the Holy Quran and thus prove the truthfulness of messenger. To Increase of faith. To encourage Muslims to research, investigate and seek more knowledge. To rectify (settle) the relation between science, religion and faith. 1 2 3 4<br>

11 1. To prove the authenticity of the Holy Quran and
thus prove the truthfulness of Messenger. The devil always stirs his whispers in some weak souls. However, Allah shows through scholars in every era that true science always attests to the soundness of Islam and the truthfulness of his messenger.<br>
12
12 2.To Increase of faith. إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ
قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًۭا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٢ The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.<br>

14 3.To encourage Muslims to research, investigate and seek more knowledge. Islam encourages Muslim to research, investigate and seek more knowledge through meditation on universe, pondering upon the scientific secrets of the Quran and to gain an in depth understanding of juristic texts or rulings. This will reveal the brilliant face of Islam by both scientific argument along with religious argument. 4.To settle the relation between science, religion and faith<br>

15 Ø To confine the miracle to scientific facts that are decisively and unanimously agreed upon and drawn from their genuine source.
Ø Allah's knowledge is all comprehensive and infallible while that of human beings is limited and fallible. So, Allah's sayings must have priority over any other sayings.
Ø Allah's revelation is absolutely authentic and verified. That said, in terms of meaning and denotation, some verses are definitive as regards their denotation, whereas others are speculative or ambiguous, so they are open to many interpretations. So while interpreting the same it should not be differed from the exact meaning of the Holy Quran.
Ø The devotional aspect of the Quran always remain the foundation for such analysis. For the Quran is revelation, intended to guide us to Allah, not a book of facts and figures to discover the latest scientific fads, i.e. mere information intended for a material gain.
