4. INTRODUCTION
Seven hundred and fifty verses of the holy book (almost one eight of the
Book) exhort believers to study nature.
‘’Verily in the nature of the Heavens and of the earth, and in the
alternation of the night and of the day , are there signs for the
men of understanding ’’ (QUR’AN 3:189-190)
5. WHAT IS
SCIENCE?
Science is the study of unanswered questions about
nature and the universe
The human activity of seeking natural explanations
for what we observed in the world around us
12. THE HOLY
PROPHET
(P.B.U.H) SAY:
‘’Seeking knowledge is compulsory for every
Muslim.’’
‘’Wisdom is the lost property of the
believer.’’
‘’whoever follows a path seeking knowledge
, Allah make his path to paradise easy.’’

19. CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE
‘’THE BING BANG’’
QURAN
Quran contains the following verse regarding
the origin of the universe
‘’Do not the unbelievers see that the
Heaven and earth were joined
together(as one unit of creation),
before we clove them asunder?’’
(Quran 21:30)
20. ACCORDING TO BING BANG
The whole universe initially one big
mass
(Primary Nebula )
Then there was a Big Bang which
resulted in the formation of galaxies
(secondary separation)
These then divided to form the stars ,
planet , the sun and the moon , etc.
21. THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE
QURAN
‘’With power and skill did We
construct the Firmament:
For He Who create the vastness
of space.’’
MODERN SCIENCEE
The universe is in constant motion and
expanding
Theoretical Evidence
Early in 20th century
Russian physicist Alexander
Friedman, Belgian cosmologist
Georges Lemaitre gave this theory
that the universe is constantly
expanding
22. RAIN IN MEARSURED AMOUNTS
QURAN
MODERN SCIENCE
‘’It is He Who sends down water in measured
amounts from the sky by which we bring a
dead land back to life. That is how you too
raised (from the dead)’’ Quran 43:11
Modern research has proved
In one second 16 million tons of water evaporates from
the earth that amounts to 513 trillions tons in a year
Is equal to the amount of rain that falls on earth in a year
23. MEETING OF TWO SEAS
QURAN
‘’He has set free the two seas meeting
together . There is a barrior between
them. They do not transgress’’ QURAN 55:19:20
It has been discover that in the gulf of Alaska the colder
water from the glaciers meet the ocean which has warm
water. The colder and warmer water splitted by a barrior
never mix with each other
MODERN SCIENCE
24. ROLE OF MOUNTAINS
QURAN
‘’We placed firmly embedded mountains on the
Earth , so it would not move under them……’’
(Quran 21:31)
MODERN SCIENCE
MODERN THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS
holds that mountains works as stabilizers for the earth
THEORY OF MOUNTAINS
Have deep roots was introduce by the astronomer
Royal, Sir George Airy in 1865.
25. ASTRONOMY
QURAN
‘’See you not how Allah has created the seven
skies one above another , and has made the
moon a light therein and made the sun a
glowing lamp’’(71:15-16)
MODERN SCIENCE
Modern science proved that Moon is a dark
body reflects light but does not produce heat
whereas the sun produces both light and
heat’’
26. IDENTITY IN THE FINGERPRINT
QURAN
‘’Yes we are able to put together
in perfect order the very tips of
his finger’’
MODERN SCIENCE
Modern science proved that everyone including
the identical twins, has a unique fingerprint .In
other words people identities are coded at their
fingertips . This coding system may also be
compared to the barcode system present today
27. THE MOON’S ORBIT
QURAN
‘’And we have decreed set phases for the Moon , until it
ends up looking an old date branch. It is not for the sun
to overtake the moon not for the night outstrip the day
each one is swimming in the sphere’’(QURAN36:39:40)
MODERN SCIENCE
Since the Moon revolves around the sun together with the
earth it follows the path through the space which resembles
the letter ‘S’ .The appearance of this orbit resembles the
twisted shape of a dry date branch , as is revealed in the
Quran.
28. EVENT OF MIRAJ
EVENT
During the event of Miraj the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)
travelled the entire universe in very short duration of time.
Many times the non Muslims raise the question that how
could it was possible?
MODERN SCIENCE
THE SPECIAL THEORY OF REALTIVITY PROPOSED BY
ALBERT EINSTEIN IN 1905
when anything or person moves with speed approaches
to the speed of light then time for that person or the
thing dilates with respect to the frame of reference
29. CONCLUSION
Presence of scientific facts in Quran is not a coincidence
‘’Soon will we show them our signs in the furthest regions of the earth
and in their own souls , until it becomes manifest to them that is the
truth , it is not enough that the lord witness all things’’
QURAN 41:53
