This was stated by popular Islamic scholar, architect and physicist Dr Ali Mansoor Kayali in his lecture, Physics in the Quran, on the first day of the 19-lecture programme of the 16th session of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award on Saturday night at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The first lecture saw the presence of Shaikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, and a number of officials and dignitaries.
In his one-hour speech, the Syrian researcher said the 6,236-verse Holy Quran is full of rules of physics. “The night which is considered nothing in science is affirmed by the Holy Quran as a created, vibrating and dark substance just like light, and that even breathes like a human being. The Holy Quran also states that the sun is covered by the night whereas the day gives light to the sun,” he said. Warning against staying up late, as advised in the Holy Quran and prophetic sayings, Dr Kayali said it has been scientifically proved that the pineal gland, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions, secretes the antioxidant melatonin hormone only in darkness. “Experiment on chicken has proved that 30 per cent of chicken exposed to light most of the night suffered from cancer whereas those which slept in darkness were cancer-free.”
Allah says in the Holy Quran that He is not and shall never be unfair to anyone even 100 million times less than an atom. “It has been scientifically proved that the tiniest object is 100 million times smaller than an atom,” he said.
Featuring some other facts in the Holy Quran, Dr Kayali said the sun is proved to be moving in a straight path. “The Holy Quran also states that the sky is like a perfect piece of cloth with black holes, and everything is swimming in an orbit counter-clockwise.”
On Sunday night, renowned Egyptian scholar Dr Omar Abdul Kafi gave a lecture on the glory and dignity of the Holy Quran. On Monday, Sheikh Sulaiman Al Jubailan will give a lecture titled ‘Under the Tree’.
