Holy Quran Contains Scientific Truths about Universe

The scientific discoveries mentioned in the Holy Quran more than 1429 years ago, and the miraculous aspects of the Holy Book reflect its credibility and uniqueness, stressed Dr. El Naggar, Earth Sciences Professor, Fellow and Head of Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran Section in the Islamic Academy of Sciences. The professor was speaking at the cultural programme of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award . Present at the lecture were Shaikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai’s Culture & Arts Authority, and Ibrahim Bu Melha, Chairman of DIHQA organising committee.

“Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said the sun and the moon will be rolled on the doomsday. It has been proven recently that the moon is moving away from the earth 3-4cm every year,” he said. “This means there will be no more gravity to keep the moon orbiting the globe, and the sun will fully swallow it. They shall then become one unit like a ball, and this means the end of the world.”

“Modern science has proved that all stars have a life cycle. They first lose their shine and then become totally dim. When all stars die or become dim, it means the end of the world,” he said. “Who taught the Holy Prophet these recently-discovered, fascinating and scientific facts? He is the One, God Almighty,” he said.
