I gave this answer to some one on this forum yesterday..am posting it again...will help to explain the scientific verses of Holy Quran.
Religion is something which is only rituals...for Muslims ( plz dont be pakistan specific) all over the world Islam has its own financial system, islamic banking system ( search on it), judicial system, religous system, governing system, administrative system and that was all perfectly done at the time of Rashidun caliphates...where even the christian citizens voluntarily used to choose to live under the Muslim governments instead of the Byzantine Christian empires....such was their humbleness....plz search more on it...i might be doing courses on Islamic Banking and Finance....some banks are even offering it here in Canada.
Sir i respect your views but as a muslim we are supposed to do dawa ( invite your brothers and sisters in humanity) to tell them the meaning of life so that they can be successful in this world and hereafter.
Sir a holy book has to stand the test of time so that we can prove its teachings are perfect....and from God. ...hopefully you believe in Science...here are the views of Non-Muslim Scientists on the scientific facts mentioned in the Holy Quran 1500 years ago including the
process of development of child in a woman's womb ( which was found recently through ultrasound--the stages are clearly mentioned in detail in Hily Quran), the water cycle ( discovered much after the last message came), the BIG BANG THEORY ( mentioned absolutely clearly) , the geographical function of mountains, the 7 layers in the earth's atmosphere..hundereds of verses refering to science.
Here is what the non-muslim scientists have to say
Part 1
YouTube - Scientists prove Qur'an to be the word of Allah (God) 1 of 5
Part 2
YouTube - Scientists prove Qur'an to be the word of Allah (God) 2 of 5
Part 3
YouTube - Scientists prove Qur'an to be the word of Allah (God) 3 of 5
Part 4
YouTube - Scientists prove Qur'an to be the word of Allah (God) 4 of 5
Part 5
YouTube - Scientists prove Qur'an to be the word of Allah (God) 5 of 5
The big bang theory is mentioned as follows
Ch 21 verse 30
"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"
Today we know from science that early forms of life came out of water.
The continous process of expansion of universe
"And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it. (The Noble Quran, 51:47)" Ch 51 verse 47
Again, the word "samaa" was used for "firmament". "samaa" as I mentioned above means either "heaven", or "Universe" depending on how it is used. Certainly, the meaning of the word "samaa" in Noble Verse 51:47 is "Universe".
The sun and moon both move in orbits
There are 2 verse talking about movement of sun and moon in orbits hundreds of years before scientists found that out
Ch 36 verse 40 (chapter name "Sura Ya seen")
"It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit."
Chapter 21 verse 33 (chapter name "Surah Al-Anbiya)
"And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit."
7 Layers in atmosphere today which the science found out
See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp? (Al-Quran 71:15-16) Chapter 71 verse 15-16
Heavens here refers to sky or the universe...as cleared above...after another verse like this.
Translations are realy difficult job...but they are good to convey the message of truth to reast of brothers and sisters in humanity.
The signs are very clear for humanity.....as i said messages were brought by prophets chosen from their people (tribes/nations)...these prophets were simple humans like us but braught the message of Oneness of God and to obey and worship God as our time on this earth was temperary ..these messengers came to every place in the world where humans lived...including probably india...one saying of Prophet (S) puts their number upto approximately1,24000...with the last messenger and prophet being Prophet Muhammad (S)...and the last message was intended to unite the human beings...that is the reason Islam discourages nationalism based on ethinicty..and cultures.
