It is the journey of creation which Allah, the Almighty, ordered us to contemplate at,
to realize Allah's blessing bestowed upon us and what beautiful when the believer
lives submissively, even for seconds, when he sees the power of Allah is reflected in
the creation of the fetus in his mother's womb. All praises to you Allah! Who created
us in the most beautiful, most magnificent and best form, and granted us your
blessings, the apparent and the hidden. You are more knowing of us than ourselves;
you have talked to us in your glorious book saying: “He knows you well when He
created you from the earth, and when you were fetuses in your mothers’ wombs. So
ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allâh and keeps his
duty to Him" Surah An-Najm [The Gathering], 53:32. Oh Allah, we shall neither
ascribe purity to ourselves nor to anyone else, as you are more knowing of our
doings and more knowing of what fits our situation, so prepare for us a knowledge
that gives us benefit and makes us closer to you. Ref: Secrets of Quran Miracles

DNA --- The genetic codeDNA is a macromolecule located at the nucleus of
every cell of our body, it contains more than
three thousands millions information! It also
contains the systems needed for cell
reproduction and the information that guarantee
cellular health and body health in general. One of
Allah’s secrets bestowed in DNA is that nobody
can have DNA similar to another one, therefore it
is considered as a perfect genetic fingerprint to
identify any person and distinguish him form
others.is it a coincidence? Allah Almighty says
about Himself: (He is Allah, the Creator, the
Inventor of all things, and the Bestower of forms.
To Him belong the Best Names) Surah Al-Hashr

There are many benefits in the fig fruit that were mentioned in the Glorious Quran,
and rather Allah, the Almighty took an oath by it. The most important of which is that
fig is very rich in minerals. It is also very useful in the prevention of cancer. It also acts
as tonic for the cells; it delays the aging process and contains a substance excreted by
the brain which is very vital material and necessary for the function of the heart,
brain and organs of the body. It is necessary to take few pieces of figs after the age of
35 to supply the body with this item that is necessary for its vitality. Some research
also confirms that the leaves of the cactus benefit diabetic patients. Does not this
fruit deserve to be taken oath with by Allah, the Almighty and even a special Sura;
chapter in the Quran to be named after it. Allah stated in Glorious Quran, Al-Tin [The
Fig] 95:1-4, ‘By the Fig and the Olive, And the Mount of Sinai, And this City of
security,- We have indeed created man in the best of moulds’.

A recent British study has found that the growth of the brain lasts until almost the age of forty
and then it stops afterwards. Another study affirms that the mental capacities start to
deteriorate after the age of forty. Amazingly, the holy Qur’an says that man reaches the age of
full strength when he becomes forty and then consequently starts deteriorating after wards.
Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur'an:
“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in
pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty
months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says,
"O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon
me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest
approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to
Thee) in Islam."” Ahqaf: 46: 15
Our question to all skeptics of the message of Islam is how Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, knew
that the age of forty is the separating line between the completion of mental capacities and
the deterioration of such capacities.

Explanation About Total number of Ayat (verses) in Al Quran (Click Here)
Scholars have different opinions about the number of the Quranic verses.
But this conflict is just about “numerating” the verses.
Here are some points about the difference:
a) Some scholars numerated the long sentences as 2 or 3 verses, while some others regarded
them as 1 whole verse.
b) Besides, Shafii scholars regarded “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim” as a part of each sura and
didn’t numerate them. But the Hanafi scholarsregarded each “Bismillah r- Rahman-ir-Rahim”
as specific verses, so counted them.
c) It’s the same about the hurooful muqattaa (some secret letters which are written in the
beginning of some suras like ”Ya sin, ha mim”.) Some scholars numerated them as specific
verses, while the others not.
The number of the verses according to Scholars:
 Ibn-i-Abbas (RA): 6616
 Nafi (RA): 6217
 Shayba (RA): 6214
 Scholars of Egypt (RA): 6226
22

 Zamahshari (RA) (the genius Eloquence Scholar of the Arabic language and literature): 6666.
 Bediuzzaman, mujaddid (the reformer) of the 13 century, also has the opinion of 6666 verses.
 Ibn-i Huzeyme (one of the big imams) made the following explanations on “6666” issue while
handling the “Quran’s miracle of number” topic of his book titled “An Nasih wa’l Mansuh”:
1) 1000 verses about Promising (wa’ad)
2) 1000 about Threat (wa’id)
3) 1000 Command (amr) verses
4) 1000 Forbiddance (nahy) verses
5) 1000 Information and Story verses
6) 1000 Warning and Example verses
7) 500 verses about Ruling
8) 100 verses about Invocation and Glorification
9) 66 “nasih and mansuh” ("the Abrogating and Abrogated") verses
Totally there are 6666 verses in the Quran
Consequently, the expression “Quran has 6666 verses.” is based on the mentioned points.

(1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+1000+500+100+66 = 6666)

Explanation About number of Ruku in Al Quran (Click Here)
 There are 540 Ruku in Al Quran. (Click Here)
 This subdivision is not part of original revelation but adopted later-on to facilitate
completion of Al Quran on the 27th night of Ramadan (i.e. on Laylatul Qadr).
 The Ruku of The Holy Quran was not to be found in the time of Nabi Muhammad (‫,)ﷺ‬ nor
in the time of the Sahaaba (RA). Around 4 AH the Ulema of Bukhara, Russia divided the
entire Quran into 540 Ruku for Taraaweeh purposes.
 The Equation is as Follows:
 When devising these Ruku the Ulema made sure that Ruku contained Ayat of the
same topic and theme; because the Hafiz goes into Ruku after reciting it in one
Raka'at of Taraaweeh Salaah.
 After further study found that Al Quran has Actual 558 Ruku. (Click Here)
(558 Ruku followed in the present discussion)
1 Ruku per Raka'at x 20 Raka'at = 20 Ruku per Night of Ramadan x 27 Nights of Ramadan = 540 Ruku

Ale Imran means “the family of Imran. A family from which many prophets came
including Musa (AS) [Moses], Harun (AS) [Aaron], Zachariah (AS) and Yahya (AS) [John].
Yahya (AS) [John] the Baptist, has a significant place in Christianity thus this Surah has
a special importance for Christians and address itself to them. Surah Al-Baqarah
addresses primarily to the Jews/Children of Israel and in Surah Ale Imran the
addressee is mainly the Christians. The Muslims have been advised to learn from the
history of the people of the Book and also to guard themselves against their
mischiefs.

Ref.: 1
Ahmad ibn Hanbal said that Abdullah bin Buraydah narrated from his father, “I was sitting with the Prophet
and I heard him saying, ‘Learn Surah Baqarah, because in learning it there is blessing, in ignoring it there is
sorrow, and the sorceresses cannot memorize it.’
He stopped for a while and then said,
‘Learn Surah Baqarah and Ale Imran because they are two lights and they shade their people on the Last
Day, just as 2 clouds, two shade or two lines of birds. The Quran will meet its companion in the shape of a
pale faced man on the Day of Resurrection when his grave is opened. The Quran will ask him, ‘Do you
know me’ The man will say, ‘I do not know you.’ The Qur’an will say, ‘I am your companion, the Quran,
which has brought you thirst during the heat and made you stay up during the night. Every merchant has
his certain trade. But, this Day, you are behind all types of trade.’ Kingship will then be given to him in his
right hand, eternal life in his left hand and the crown of grace will be placed on his head. His parents will
also be granted two garments that the people of this life could never afford. They will say, ‘Why were we
granted these garments’ It will be said, Because your son was carrying the Quran. It will be said (to the
reader of the Quran), ‘Read and ascend through the stages of Paradise.’ He will go on ascending as long as
he recites, whether reciting slowly or quickly.

Ref.: 1
Ahmad ibn Hanbal recorded that An-Nawwas bin Saman said that the Messenger of Allah said,
‘’On the Day of Qiryamah the Quran and its people who used to implement it will be brought forth, preceded by
Surah Baqarah and Imran.’’
An-Nawwas said, “The Messnger of Allah set 3 examples for these 2 Surahs and I did not forget these examples
ever since. The Prophet said, They will come like 2 clouds, 2 dark shades or 2 lines of birds arguing on behalf of
their people.’’
The major portion of this Surah revealed after the battle of Badr. Though the believers had come out triumphant
in the Battle of Badr, they were not absolutely out of danger. As now they have more enemies than before. Then
there was the problem of the Jewish tribes who lived in the outskirts of Madinah. Despite their following a
monotheist religion they conspire with the polytheists of Makkah against Muslims. And because of all these
conspiracies, the Meccans again attacked Madinah just after a year of Battle of Badr and thus started the battle of
Uhad. Makkiyah army was 3,000 men while Muslims were one thousand in number. But the Muslim army also has
many hypocrites inside it. They did much damage by first leaving the army on various excuses and returning to
Madinah and then by creating mischief and chaos during the battle. In addition to all this, the weaknesses of
believers were also played a part in the defeat. This is the reason that a comprehensive review of the Battle of
Uhad was required to inform the Muslims of their shortcomings and to issue instructions for their reform.
